De naam Olivia Cooke zal je weinig zeggen, maar deze jonge dame heeft al een hoop rollen op haar naam staan en is dat OJA ZIJ meisje. Maar voor het grote publiek is ze het meest bekend van haar rol als Emma in de Amerikaanse TV serie Bates Motel en de horror film Ouija, beiden zijn overigens op Netflix te vinden. Any way, ze speelt nu de hoofdrol in Ready Player One waar in ze schittert als Art3mis, aka Samantha. Daarom had de website Collider een interview met haar en daar van kan je hier onder een klein stukje lezen.

Collider: In this film, your character gets to create her own avatar. If you could create your own avatar, what would you want it to be, and it doesn't even have to be human?

OLIVIA COOKE: I think I'd want to be part-bird, part-fish. I'd never have to put my feet on the ground, but I'd be able to swim lengths and be able to fly above the treetops. I don't know if it would necessarily be human, but it would be a part fish/mermaid/winged thing, maybe with long, flowy hair.

It seems like you got to do so much fun, crazy, cool stuff for this. What was the coolest thing?

COOKE: When my character is in IOI, in Nolan Sorrento's office, having my Indiana Jones moment, infiltrating this corporate company and trying to find something. It just felt like pure Speilbergian adventure, and I was getting to do all these really cool things, running around trying to solve clues and also feeding back to my friends, who were somewhere else. It felt, altogether, like a huge espionage thriller and adventure. Being able to live in this mode of pure suspense, it was really, really cool. I've never been able to do anything like that.

It seems like you got to do pretty much every genre in this one movie.

COOKE: Yeah! It's such a feast.
