I was right off of crutches right before we started prepping and training for it. When I jumped on I was most worried because I had a broken leg. Once you were cast, was there a sense of pressure knowing you'd have second billing to Tom Cruise? I had never been in a position like that before where I could do so much research before starting the film. And also, while we were making the movie, it was so nice to have the book to go back and reference while shooting. In this particular one it was really awesome to read these two characters and to see how they interacted with each other. It's a story you can build on, and obviously he has. I signed on and read the book he wrote because there's just too much to read. I had seen the film, but I didn't realize there are like 21 books Lee Child has written, which is insane. Were you familiar with the Jack Reacher universe when you first read the script? When you're driving Tom Cruise around, and he's literally a race car driver, and you're supposed to be driving like you really know what you're doing… It's quite intimidating. The both of them are used to being in a command position and they're not used to taking orders, so it creates a frustration between the two of them and they have to learn to work together. This character is a major in the military and a lot of the time, because she's still part of the system and the character of Jack Reacher isn't, she's more connected to this world and she might know more and she might know a better plan. It was super cool, but again, it was something that made sense. Yeah, that was really intimidating for me on a personal level. I mean, you drove the cars while Tom Cruise sat shotgun almost the whole movie. A lot of times you can get a damsel in distress kind of situation, and we were all working towards having the characters equally capable in each situation. I was so relieved to show up and have both Ed Zwick, our writer-director, and Tom-Tom Cruise, I don't know why I need to explain that you to-as focused, if not more, in making sure that Susan Turner was taking the lead, had an opinion, was a part of the story. But the thing is reading the script and the doing the film are two very different things, and a lot of things change. That is what I read in the script when I was signing on to it.
