The notion of a truly unlikely hero being kind of pushed into the spotlight seemed really interesting to me.
And then once I found Kelly, I mean that whole thing of her first scene with John when she’s kind of like a fan of his, and that kind of personality, I rewrote that scene before we shot it largely because of Kelly to get more of her personality into it.
It was really because of Kelly that the whole dynamic of the character changed. Thank god.
The more I got to know Kelly, she just has this open, beautiful spirit and I thought you have to see that at the beginning of this character.
