We spoke w/ Emmy Raver-Lampman about Blacklight, why Liam Neeson fans love watching him punch people in the face, and TheUmbrellaAcademy Season 3.
With director Mark Williams' Blacklight now playing in theaters, I recently spoke with Emmy Raver-Lampman about making the Liam Neeson action thriller. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Blacklight stars Neeson as an FBI fixer who gets in way over his head after getting involved in a deadly conspiracy. Raver-Lampman plays a local reporter trying to hunt down the story. As you might expect, Neeson is forced to kick some ass.
RELATED: Liam Neeson on ‘Blacklight’, Neil Jordan’s ‘Marlowe,’ and the First Thing Someone Should Watch If They Haven’t Seen His WorkRAVER-LAMPMAN: I have a friend, Jonathan, who lives in New York, and we did my first professional theater show that I ever did in New York, Children of Eden at the Astoria Performing Arts Center.
He's also just really talented at stunts. Stunts are not easy. I do a ton of stunts in The Umbrella Academy and it's a lot of work. It takes a lot of practice and diligence, and you're working with people that are masters at this, and Liam is just incredible at it. RAVER-LAMPMAN: The funny thing is, my dad was a journalist, so I grew up with a journalist as a parent. My dad still has mannerisms that are left over from his life as a journalist and as a reporter and as a writer. The way that he asks questions and the way that conversations go with my dad, it's very much coming from a journalist perspective of getting the story and getting as much information as you can.
The thing with Umbrella, is that it's obviously very heavy VFX. I've noticed that with Netflix, once you wrap, it is anywhere between 12 and 16 months that the show will then be streaming. It's a big chunk of time to get all that stuff done. I think in parallel with the conversation about Gerard and the graphic novels and as the seasons go, the show finding its own voice, it's also finding its tone and it's finding just its sweet spot. This past season, this third season, we've really settled into to the Umbrella world. It was really exciting to film because it's comforting in a way as an actor when you get to go back and reexamine every couple of years this character that now it's like second nature.
