Full transcript of Red One Virtual Press Conference – Lucy Liu answers our question!.

0:10Moderator: Here's the question for Lucy Liu from FYR Podcast Australia. It was so much fun seeing Zoe Harlan get in on the action. How was it preparing for the role?

0:21Lucy: Well, it was impromptu. I had spoken to Jake and he's like, I said, Is there any training or do you need me to like prep anything? And he said, No, I think maybe she's gonna like throw a kick and maybe a punch. Maybe, that's it, that's it. You're just the boss lady, and that's all it's gonna be. And I said, Okay, great, no problem. I show up to the set, we're, you know, doing the costume fittings and everything, and then the stunt coordinator comes in and he says, I just want to give you a little bit of a, you know, previs of what we're going to do.

0:49Lucy: He shows me this like entire action scene and I'm like, I, my face just turned white. Um, and then I was like, okay, let's do this. And I, as soon as I got the sticks in my hands, it was like muscle memory kicked in. And I just, it was like, I was alive again. So actually, thank you for that. Um, I hadn't done it, uh, in a long time, but it. It just came back to me and um, I just, I love watching action movies. I grew up watching them and it actually being on the screen, doing action is so exciting. And I think that it, it gets kids excited. It gets girls excited, gets women excited. So, um, you know, it's nice that you still got it.

1:28Moderator: Good to hear.

1:29Oti: It gets me excited.

1:31KT: I feel alive. Oh, well thank you so much to Universal Australia as well as Warner Brothers. Um, Oti and I had the opportunity to attend the virtual global press conference for Red One, um, which obviously had the cast on there. We had the opportunity to submit questions as well. Um, and we're all on our way to a hat trick, Oti. Shout out to Love Unlorded, rooting for everyone black. Issa Rae, we got Issa Rae to answer our question on the Barbie junket press conference. And now we have Lucy Liu. Are we building our own Charlie's Angels right now, Oti?

2:14Oti: We are.

2:16KT: Wow. Oh, this is exciting. And you know what? What one of the most beautiful things was when I came home after that screening, I told you that this film is a lot of fun, but also for Lucy Liu's action scenes alone, you should go and watch.

2:32Oti: You should watch. You had me at Lucy Liu.
