What was it about this character, Jill, that interested you? There’s a lot under the surface with her….

Amanda Seyfried: Yeah. Jill’s very broke, which personally I can’t relate to really well, but that’s another reason this role is so appealing to me – because I got to learn about her. It works for the audience because at some point the audience is supposed to believe her and want her to get through this, and care about her. But at the same time, you have to, at some point, kind of question her mentality and what’s really going on. I think that’s what makes ‘Gone’ more of an interesting story. There’s a lot of psychological things I think the audience is going to go through, that I did, just really questioning Jill. When you question your protagonist, that’s when things feel unsettling, because you think, “Who is this person? I feel like I know her but it all might be….she might a nut case!” (Laughs).

Jill’s sister, Molly, your character, she’s really the only person Jill has, she’s trying to get Jill out of her shell….

Emily Wickersham: Molly’s a student, she’s studying marginal productivity theory, she has this great boyfriend in Billy. Everything is going great, she’s trying to get her sister out, because she’s kind of become a little reclusive, scared to meet people. Molly really worries about Jill, she worries not only because she believes everything what Jill has said to her, she believes that there was an abductor, so she worries for her safety. But I think she also worries for her well being, her social well being. How she is emotionally. Working with Amanda Seyfried for ‘Gone’ has been great, she’s awesome, she’s super talented. She’s very very funny and just really fun to work with.

How do you see Molly and Jill’s reationship Amanda?

Amanda Seyfried: You first meet Jill when she’s headed to work basically. She comes home from being in the mountains where she was looking for evidence of this man who kidnapped her, abducted her in the past, in who she was able to get away from. She comes home and you she has this life with her sister, and that she’s definitely going through something. You see their rapport, and Molly, Jill’s sister, confronts her again about being in the mountains. Because of course they’ve talked about it not being healthy for Jill to keep going back. You get to see that these two sisters really love each other.

With the film set over the course of 12 hours, the pace is pretty frenzied?

Emily Wickersham: After Molly just disappears, Jill is kind of on this rampage looking for her sister. It’s pretty much the two of them against the world, they don’t have their parents, so they have a super strong bond. I think it’ll be really exciting for the audience, because when you’re watching the film, and when I read the script, my adrenalin was pumping throughout the whole thing. And I think at the very end, as the story is unfolding, with what has happened, and how the events have happened, I think that’s when people will really be on the edge of their seats.
