‘My Lady Jane’ Stars Emily Bader and Edward Bluemel Explain Why They Weren’t ‘Too Precious’ About Love Scenes | Video
The romance between Jane and Guilford, this is the linchpin of the story. It needs to be believable. You guys have this beautiful story. What are the conversations you guys had of like this is what we need to get right to make this love story work and believable. I think we wanted it to feel real, and that's something that we focused on as well with the romantic and intimate scenes is that we didn't want to be too precious about that part of a relationship. We wanted it to be fun. And realistic and show what it means to fall in love as a real woman when you get a little bit angry and you say something that you don't really mean, but you kind of mean it, and asking for forgiveness and all those things. We wanted banter to be their love language. We wanted to be the way that wanted to be foreplay for them. And we wanted them to hopefully join the pantheon of great couples like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, like Beatrice and Benedict. And with a little with a Sousa of screwball comedy, what she says, a little bit of Preston Sturges, a little bit of his Girl Friday. Anything where we can just keep everyone listening and not wanting to miss a single line because everything's worth listening to. Absolutely. And they're constantly testing each other and but falling in love in spite of themselves. I think the sort of clumsiness in that is represented in some of the intimate scenes as well, I think is so important to their journey. And like for me and Emily, it's hard to quantify what is chemistry, so I think. Sort of over intellectualizing. It can sometimes be a mistake and instead you just gotta go on instinct, just jump in and and and hope for the best. And I feel like it worked. Yeah, hopefully.
