I only saw it for the first time a couple of days ago, and when I saw that scene, I actually begged up the person who drove that car because in my head, I was like, 'Yes! Chloe can drive!' I never knew she could drive like that, she's amazing! What struck me was that I'm pretty good behind the wheel. It felt like a nod to the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, and made me wonder if you had your eye on joining it. Well, in contrast, at the end of this film - without giving away major spoilers - Chloe gets to Tokyo drift a car!ĭon't worry about that. Because he essentially saves her life, and then that ice is broken. I think through that arc as shown in the movie there is an understanding as to why they then have to team up. He has to prove his worth, and they have to respect one another. As a result, she's not going to give him an easy ride. But also, she's more than a match for Kaulder. She is absolutely intimidated by him when she first meets him. So there's absolutely no way she's going to be full-on flirting with him. He is a bogeyman to Chloe, this nasty witch hunter who has spent the last 800 years killing off her race. The way that I approached it: Kaulder is notorious. Vin and I spoke about that there needed to be that arc with the characters and their dynamic towards one another.

I tried to speak to him about it, and then I realized very quickly that I was out of my depth.Ĭhloe and Kaulder have a relationship in the film that is intimate but not explicitly romantic. I had no idea he has such extensive knowledge on the subject. I was amazed - not amazed - I was so naïve. Vin has been very vocal about the inspiration for 'The Last Witch Hunter' being playing 'Dungeons & Dragons.' Have you played 'D&D' with Vin? How much of that did they go into with you versus how much of that was something you were allowed to create for Chloe? There's a deep mythology presented in the film. The fact that we're hidden within that world and constantly interacting struck me as a very fun premise.

Or a trusted friend that you think you know really well and is always sending you flowers is also witch. The idea that you could be walking down the street and the man who's always sold you coffee is a witch.

And I liked the fact that humans were completely oblivious to that. But the first time I read the script, I was struck by the fact that this was - of course, fantasy - but it was a new kind of mythology, with humans and witches living amongst each other. Rose Leslie: There was maybe a little bit of trepidation, yes. Spinoff: Was their any hesitancy to come into a fantasy movie so close to your departure from 'Game of Thrones?' SPINOFF sat down with Leslie during New York Comic Con to discuss her role in 'The Last Witch Hunter,' its could-be sequel, her hopes for a 'Splash' reboot, and where she comes down on the fate of Jon Snow.
