Matt Patches: So Faster is in the can - are you on another movie or are you on a break right now?

Maggie Grace: I'm a running around LA as we speak.

Matt Patches: Oh, you're on the move?

Maggie Grace: Yeah, of course, I'm in L.A., where else would I be but driving? I'm being very responsible. I've just pulled over, so I'm being very responsible.

Matt Patches: Oh well that's good, hopefully you weren't driving too fast?

Maggie Grace:
No, unfortunately. I'm now driving about 10 miles per hour in my Prius which is much less glamorous than the Lotus that I learned to drive. That car's much faster, but this one's less stressful. Learning to drive stick on a 200,000 dollar car is a high stakes scenario for me.

Matt Patches: What drew you in to the world that George [Tillman Jr.] and the writers have created?

Maggie Grace: Yeah, let me just say that what attracted me to this script was just how there's theses sort of archetypal characters that we don't necessarily know much about at first, a lot of them don't even have full names.  You know we have [Johnson's character] Driver - in the script they're referred as these sort of archetypal characters that we don't know much about - and we're not really sure who's good and who's bad, what's going on and I love-

Matt Patches: So you're character doesn't have a name?

Maggie Grace: Mine does - I'm Lily.

Matt Patches: You lucked out.

Maggie Grace:
Thank you! But yeah, I really loved that and the way they shot - I mean I think you can see that from the trailer, there's this beautiful 70s palette to it, and I thought it really stood out as far as George's visual style as well, which was pretty cool.

Matt Patches: I know the movie is very secretive in terms of the characters, but what can you me to set up Lily?

Maggie Grace: Yeah, I'm half of an uber-glamorous...I'd guess I'd have to say high-end contract killer couple. [laughs] There's a mouthful.

Matt Patches: Who is you're partner in crime?

Maggie Grace: My partner in crime is played by Oliver Jackson Coen, a young British dude, who is now much more skilled with guns than he was few months ago, as am I. We had a blast, it was a lot of fun to shoot.

Matt Patches: Did you work with Dwayne at all?

Maggie Grace: No, not really, we didn't intersect very much. I mean fingers crossed if there was ever a sequel, maybe those characters would cross paths more often. I just think he is the sweetest man. No one said a word about this man.  I did my homework before I cam on set, and everyone said, "That is the nicest person you will ever work with." And it turned out to be true.
