Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the World Premiere of Fast and Furious.
Jordana Brewster – 'Mia Toretto' in Fast and Furious
So what had to be in the script to convince you to come back?Jordana Brewster: "Justin [Lin] was directing it. Vin [Diesel] was in it, Paul [Walker] was in it so the script could have been nothing."
And you still would have said yes?
Jordana Brewster: "Yes, I would have. I would have because I trusted everyone involved."
So where do they take her this time? What do we get to see you do?
Jordana Brewster: "You get to see me deal with the repercussions of Vin and Paul coming back, so that was a lot of fun to play. Because, yeah, a woman scorned, you know? So yeah, but I didn't go into the damsel in distress stuff because Justin didn't want me to go there. So he kept pulling me back from the drama, which was great."
How quickly did you guys fall back into the chemistry of working together?
Jordana Brewster: "Pretty quickly. The first day of like hair and makeup tests it was awkward. You were like, 'Hey, guys, what's up?' But then after a couple of days it was like back to old."
Gal Gadot – 'Gisele' in Fast and Furious
Tell me about who you play and I hear we're not supposed to know whether she's a bad guy or a good guy, right?Gal Gadot: "Well, it's confusing because at first she's with the bad guys but then something's happened and she turned to be a very good person, very sophisticated. But she's a tough guy."
So this is your first big American film, right?
Gal Gadot: "Right."
What was it like joining a franchise where these guys know each other?
Gal Gadot: "They were so welcoming and so professional. We became very, very good friends, like buddies. You know what I mean? It was fun."
Are you a car girl? Do you normally check out cars?
Gal Gadot: "Yeah, yeah."
Do you get to drive in this one?
Gal Gadot: "I wish. No, well, yes but they told me that if I'm going to drive, I have to keep it on the first gear."
What can we expect from this one?
Gal Gadot: "Everything's going to be bigger, more exciting, faster, and just fast and furious."
What else are you working on?
Gal Gadot: "I'm going to do Entourage soon and there are a couple of other projects that I can't talk about, but I'm very happy to be here."
Mirtha Michelle – 'Cara' in Fast and Furious
Tell me who you play in the film.Mirtha Michelle: "I'm playing Cara in the film. Cara is a Dominican girl, like myself. She's part of Vin's crew in Dominica Republic so we kind of open the film, do an exciting heist, and set the tone for the rest of the film. We also got to shoot kind of a short film that's going to be included on the DVD. As far as I know – that's the last I heard that it's going to be included on the DVD. So that was also really exciting to shoot because it's kind of like everything that happens before the movie."
So it's like the prequel to this one.
Mirtha Michelle: "Yeah. You know, you say prequel and then some people get confused. 'But wait…' But yeah, it's exactly what that is."
What was it like working on this and did you do your own stunts?
Mirtha Michelle: "Yes, I did. I had a stunt double too. She did it 80 mph and I did it 40, but I still did it. And it was exciting. It was a lot of fun to do. I had a great time doing it."
