Overview
- At the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Thurman said her younger co-stars performed all their own dancing and stunts with the stunt team, calling the results mind-blowing.
- She noted that her role as Devora Kasimer required fewer stunts than the ensemble’s parts.
- The film is now streaming on Prime Video and features Maddie Ziegler, Lana Condor, Avantika, Millicent Simmonds, and Iris Apatow as members of a ballet troupe.
- Maddie Ziegler said the cast looked to Thurman’s Kill Bill fight work for inspiration during preparation.
- Cast members trained in Budapest in a short ballet and stunt boot camp, a choreography-first approach later promoted in a New York “Ballet-Fu” class.
