[Music] hi Jim and Jeremy how are you hey Penny how are you nice to see you nice to see you I just saw your movie last night and I loved it it was such a trifecta action horror comedy I was jumping laughing you really did great I like to actually see this again and I know people are going to be running to it oh good so I wanted to see if you could tell me what is this about Hansel and grle the witch Hunters it's about brother and sister that um killed a witch when they were kids ate too much candy and they were abandoned by their parents and then um and then so yeah it's 15 years on from that event and now they've grown into these sort of badass Hunters sort of gypsies and they find a town that has been um all the kids go missing so they they find a good job there start hurting a bunch of witches your Rapport is so good like so believable from the beginning when we first see you on screen when you're older from younger to now and I want to just ask you when you first met before your filming did it really click that fast for your report for brother and sister we didn't actually meet until we were on set um we had spoken on the phone a couple of times emailed and stuff and talked about the character but it was you know it was we were lucky because um a lot of it is dependent on was dependent on our chemistry so we were very lucky it just sort of well Show's really good on film but it's it's perfect how you joke back and forth and you push each other and you're like more the brawn and she's the brains which I like and it kind of evens each other out and I noticed the the tech the choreography was very technical for both of you when you're fighting together against the witches and then Alone um what for training with David Lee for the stunt coordinator tell me about this because You' have so much background with you're so athletic with your past stunts and I wanted to see what you thought working together with that uh David had shown me some stuff that um prior months and months prior to all this happening that um he's kind of looking at doing and it l it looked you know pretty exciting to me so um it's bit sloppier and more Western kind of you know thing so it's uh nothing really too technical except U just how to how to take a hit essentially how to fall how to get hurt and I loved how you were sort of flying sometimes and some of the scenes that you got to be with the witches and a lot of the different options how fast and Speedy that was did you do a lot of the like flying with that with the green green screens yeah a lot of wire work yeah a lot of most was pretty practical some some of the the wi stuff you had have a background or something look like we're in the air higher than we were or whatever but um pretty much is all all pretty practical kind of stuff so it made it kind of like a a wild um adult ride and how did you like uh filming in Germany yeah it was um we were blessed actually because these forests that we shot in were so old and antique and uh I mean you don't you get a you get a feel for it naturally when you're in the right environment you you know everything sort of falls into place we were lucky we had these gorgeous sets built within the the forests and um yeah um beautiful country Germany and we shot in Berlin which is also a fantastic City we had a lot of fun well I thank you so much and I wish you all the best with this and I thank you for your time I appreciate that thank you thank you
