![]() ![]() I'm very grateful that I was given the opportunity to be part of his next project. ![]() He's very hands on, and I think that he's a filmmaker that really knows what he wants. I think that the process with Mark is very intense. MH: I completely agree with everything that Luke was saying about that. So, it felt like we were a team from the outset, and we were all contributing together for the end product, and that was a really nice experience. He wants to be there to experience what we are experiencing. Also, it allowed us to have a dialogue all the time. To have him on set almost every day throughout the whole process was really something I'd never experienced before from a showrunner, and it only benefited everybody by having him there. But Mark, his passion for what he does is immense, and his commitment to the job was immense. It's a long job, so there's a lot of script, and there's a lot of rewrites and adaptations as we were moving through the story of the characters' journeys. From the outset, I had access to Mark, and he had access to us so that we could process every step of the way. MF: Finally, for all of you, what was it like working with Mark Boal on this project? So, I loved bringing complexity to the relationships with each of these men, and what those meant, and what they did for her. You hear all the time about strong female leads, which I'm all for, but you rarely hear about complex female leads. So, all of these characters have such complexity. Inside of that, what is great is that there was room for being as complex as possible. So, we all spend a lot of time focusing on those bonds, and talking about them, and really envisioning them. I think that those are the relationships that carry the show. Jessica Ann Collins: I think the relationships between Amber and her brother Bambi, and her husband Prince, are the actual crux of the show. ![]() MF: Jessica, can you talk about Amber, her relationship to Bambi and Prince, and what it was like for you working on those relationships with Luke and Michiel? (L to R) Jessica Ann Collins and Michiel Huisman in 'Echo 3,' premiering Novemon Apple TV+. You don't see that very often, and I was very happy about that. What was exciting to us was that it was very important to Mark Boal that we would portray this in the most realistic way possible. That was a very important part of it too. When we first met up a couple weeks before we started shooting, we were immediately introduced to Mitch Hall, who's a former Navy Seal himself, and he really took us through the ringer and trained us in how these guys move, behave, and how they handle weapons. Michiel Huisman: We did a ton of training to do justice to their background as Special Forces operators. MF: Michiel, can you talk about the Special Forces work that Prince and Bambi do for a living, and what training did you have to make that look as authentic as possible on screen? I want to challenge myself and choose roles that are going to push me to the limits, and this one was one of those. ![]() I'm in this business, I don't want to have an easy ride. So, we all embraced the challenges that we were facing and made the most of it. It was nine months almost in Columbia, which is an extraordinary country, but to shoot what we shot, and every single location was a real place, comes with its own demands and challenges. It was challenging physically, and mentally. I was forewarned by Mark Boal that it wasn't going to be an easy job from the outset, and he was absolutely right. There's a lot of conversations, a lot of physical training, and I was ready for it. Luke Evans: When you take on a role like Bambi, there's a lot of preparation. Moviefone: To begin with, Luke, can you talk about your approach to playing Bambi, and what were some of the aspects of the character you were excited to explore on screen?
