Speaking of contagion, she admitted: ‘I was thrown into a ditch in a corpse bag. Almost every shot, I would open one eye and say, “Does my butt get big with this?” Stupid, typically vain nonsense.

– You will look at the two as pairs, but with very different hair colors. So Scott and I were talking about, ‘So, what’s the next iteration of a contagion story?’ the director continued.
Although he did not want to give more details, he insisted that they were working hard on the story, but admitted: ‘We should probably dodge a little.’
