De found footage film Project Almanac kan wel eens een hele grote verrassing, want daar in zien we hoe een groep tieners door de tijd heen reizen en deze aanpassen in hun voordeel. En we weten allemaal dat dit Butterfly effect serieuze gevolgen en een prijs heeft. De website Collider had een interview met Jonny Weston en Sofia Black-D'Elia en daar van kan je hier onder een stukje lezen.


Question: Tell us about the first time you read the script. Did your roles stick out to you and what did you think of the blend of time travel and found footage?

JONNY WESTON
: I don't think found footage has been nearly kind of gotten into quite yet. It's an entirely new style of filming and everything like that is new so, you know, it was a challenge. Like, I knew it was a challenge ahead of time and it was exciting to look into. And then Michael Bay, obviously, has been putting out amazing work, so ... [Laughs]

SOFIA BLACK-D'ELIA: [Laughs] He's been pretty good lately, I guess. I first read the script and I thought it was so cool to have this time travel idea and make it also feel super real because I think that's really appealing like with Chronicle and films like that, when you feel like it's really happening to teenagers and I think that's why I really was attracted to the script. The dialogue felt like it was really happening and even though these crazy circumstances were put upon the kids, they still reacted the way that a teenager would actually react in that situation and I didn't think it was overdone or anything. And I think that found footage kind of lends to that, so it feels like this really realistic kind of documentary-style thing, these kids can build a time machine and what happens next.
