Daisy Ridley is doing the rounds ahead of the release of Chaos Walking this weekend, and she has discussed how reshoots and additional photography on Star Wars and Chaos Walking has improved the films.
To be honest, to be able to do additional photography, you’re already in a really lucky space because basically there’s the budget to do it. I’m sure that there are films where they were like ‘Oh it would be great if we had another day.’ And sometimes the budget is just restricted. I’ve done additional photography on all the Star Wars films and on this, so for me, it’s like, it just is what it is. And I think there’s a really amazing way to take a step back, in between times, and give you a little bit of perspective.
And also, a lot of time people have seen an edit and they’re like ‘Oh, you know what would really help this…’ So it ends up being really helpful because you can add things that might help a relationship. We did, mine and Todd’s kiss scene. That was in additional photography and it’s such a sweet moment and really shows the sort of them bridging the understanding of ‘the Noise’ and Viola is like ‘I can deal with this’ and you know, ‘we can go off on this adventure together.’ So I think, usually it’s really helpful.
