We spoke w/ 'The Crowded Room's Sasha Lane about recreating 1970s New York City and joining 'Twisters.'
In Apple TV+’s new series, The Crowded Room, star and producer Tom Holland plays Danny Sullivan, a confused young man who is arrested and facing a number of charges that he insists he didn’t commit. The show is adapted and executive produced by filmmaker Akiva Goldsman, inspired by a novel from author Daniel Keyes. Before it started streaming, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with Sasha Lane about co-starring with Holland, transforming New York City, and more.
COLLIDER: So I've seen the entire series, and I want to say congrats. I'm not going to do any spoilers today, but before I get into it, I always like throwing a curveball at the beginning. For people that have actually never seen anything you've done before, what is the first thing you'd like them to watch and why?
LANE: That was the funnest part in terms of the music being different and learning the kind of choreography of it because it was such a specific kind of movement and setting, and it was also one of the harder scenes. I think we filmed it over a couple of days, and it was really intense, but freeing, and I don't know, it felt like one of those moments when you're like, “Oh, we're making an art piece kind of.” It's nice.
It's movie quality. I just couldn't believe the scale and scope of recreating all that in New York City. I mean, that's not easy.When you think about the shoot, obviously there are going to be days that are tougher than others. Was there a day you had circled in terms of, “Oh, this is gonna be a really challenging day?”
LANE: I think it's a very beautiful thing to be able to witness. So many people are gonna be able to watch it and see the outcome of what he did, but to see it in real-time happening, the care and the passion that he put into it, the research, the questioning, the pondering back and forth. I think it's so special to be able to watch someone create something, and to be in their craft and to be in the zone, and I think he did a truly wonderful job.
I'm actually pretty excited for the Twisters just because Lee [Isaac Chung] is directing it, which is unusual, I never thought Lee would do it. So what was it about the script or story, or was it Lee that said, “Oh, I want to do this?”
