Zendaya also highlights: “I get a front-row seat to watching the transformation happening, which is really cool because I got to know Rob as Rob, but then I also got to meet Charlie, and then I’ve met his character on ‘Dune’, and they’re so vastly different. You [Rob], maybe feel like, ‘Oh, I don’t know what I’m doing!’ To me, it looks like a fully formed thing that he’s created. I really enjoy watching you just fully fall into a new creation, and it’s really cool to see, not just on camera, but in real life.”
And some final words from Zendaya about the film’s plot-twist: “There’s going to be a lot of interest around what Emma’s big revelation is in the movie, and while I think that revelation is important and pivotal, it’s about so much more than that. What happens to Charlie and Emma in the wake of her confession becomes the ultimate test of love and acceptance in a relationship, and what you’re willing to do in the name of love… ‘The Drama’ is an emotional rollercoaster without a clear-cut happy ending or resolution – every time I see it with family and friends, there’s a long conversation afterwards about Emma’s plight. You will have debates about love, acceptance, morality. There’s so much in the movie to talk about and wrestle with.”
