My interview with AnnaSophia Robb
By Alex Fischetti
Beginning on Saturday, the Ridgefield Playhouse will be showing the box office hit "The Way, Way Back"
I had the blessing of interviewing one of its stars and a woman who is one of the biggest hearted young stars in Hollywood today, AnnaSophia Robb!
1. When were you thoughts on the script for The Way, Way Back?
Annasophia: Good scripts are few and far between and when I read this I thought "This is so great!" It's so funny, it's so heartwarming, it's poignant, it had everyone you want in a movie and the characters are so well developed. I was so blessed to be able to do this because it was one of the best scripts I have ever read and ever will read.
2. A movie based in the summer with a water park looks as much fun to shoot as it is to watch on film. Describe the atmosphere in making this movie.
AnnaSophia: It was so much fun! We shot half the movie in the water park and half of it at the beach house and I was lucky to be a part of both. I didn't shoot too much at the park but the crew kept me around even when I didn't have to film which was great because they kept the rides open at night so after we wrapped we got to ride the rides! It was pretty cool!
AnnaSophia: I was in awe of everyone that was there. I loved watching Sam Rockwell and I couldn't watch Allison Janney with a straight face. The whole cast and crew were just super chill and got along cracking jokes, enjoying filming on the beach. There was such a great sense of friendship with everybody involved.
4. You're such a well grounded person which is rare in a young Hollywood star. How do you pull it off?
AnnaSophia: I have awesome parents and a really strong family who I love so much. I have great friends from High School and my faith in Jesus Christ really helps me stay centered and continues to be my cornerstone.
