00:00Just talking about being at the O2 in London at this amazing venue for your beautiful premiere.
00:05Yes, it's amazing. It's an honour to be here. This venue is iconic and it feels so right
00:09with the movie.
00:10Oh, it's so brilliant. And you get to work with your dad. Just tell me how that feels.
00:15Getting to work with him, you said? Sorry.
00:16Yeah, how does it feel?
00:17Oh my gosh, amazing. It's such a blessing to be able to create things with your family
00:21and to do something of this scale and to be trusted by him is the best co-sign that I
00:27could ever get. The best mentor.
00:2914 songs, miss. That is quite the feat. Did you write them before the movie? Did you write
00:34them during the movie? Talk us through the whole process.
00:36Yeah, mostly before the movie because a lot of them had to be done when we stepped on
00:40set already. We had to do choreography and costumes and all of that stuff. But there
00:44was a couple that I wrote during the filming process and then the end credit song after.
00:49What are the similarities and differences between you and Lady Raven?
00:53I would say the differences would be that she's this huge artist. She's very confident.
00:58She's bold. She's strong. All these things. I feel like those are not fully qualities
01:03that I have, but qualities that I want to have.
01:06And tell me through working with Josh Hartnett, is that a dream? Because you must have watched
01:11films that you've done before and it must have been lovely.
01:13Oh my gosh. I mean, he's obviously such an amazing actor and a master at what he does,
01:18so it was really a surreal experience even just to watch him work, let alone be in scenes
01:23with him, but it was amazing and he's so humble and sweet.
01:27Absolutely. And what would you say people are in for in that cinema? What are audiences
01:32in for?
01:33A lot of fun. A lot of mischief, I would say. It's definitely a cat and mouse kind of fun
01:38thing, but you never know where it's going to take you.
01:40And how would you describe Trap in a sentence?
01:43In a sentence? A serial killer movie for the whole family.
