Logan exclusive: Watch Dafne Keen’s X-23 audition

[ridleydaisy]

In the real world, people die. And no self-promoting asshole in a fucking leotard can stop it.

Bad shit happens to people I care about. You understand me? 
Then I’ll be fine.

Logan: James Mangold & Dafne Keen Open to X-23 Spinoff Movie with Western Motif

“Yeah, I’m wide open to that,” Mangold says on the subject of an X-23 movie. “I think we could have a great time. The first thing is, always, you need a script, you must have a good script.” He then adds while turning to Dafne, “You game for it, you open?”

She smiles with an affirmative nod, “Yeah.” (x)

“I think that was a startling day for a lot of the crew, because I think Daf arrived on-set, she was doing her scenes, and everyone thought she was really cool and doing great, and then suddenly that scene, I remember turning to Trevor [Loomis], he was our focus puller, and suddenly our script supervisor Sheila [Waldron] was like, ‘Oh my God.’ And everyone—because not everyone in the crew had been through the whole reading process with Daf and knew just how ready she was to leap into talking and letting him have it. She’s saying some pretty nasty things in Spanish.” -James Mangold on Laura’s first speaking scene

At this point, Dafne interjects that her favorite lines from the sequence apparently got lost on the editing room floor.

“You cut them out or something,” she says with a hint of disappointment. Her director is surprised, asking, “Did we cut out the worst words?” Dafne nods affirmatively again, “Yeah.”

“I remember in the casting that I decided to watch Shane one morning,” Keen says with a slight and formal English affectation to her cadence. She then volunteers to the surprise of her director, “And we watched Walk the Line in the car going to the airport.” Apparently, he was unaware she had viewed his 2005 biopic on Johnny Cash.

That’s your daughter? Uh, yea. That’s Laura.

You may not love her, but she is your child.
