With the theatrical release for “The Truth About Emanuel” happening in a couple days, the cast has talked with several press outlets to promote the film. Yesterday, The Daily Beast released their interview with Jessica where they discussed everything from “The Truth About Emanuel” to Justin.

Well Jess wasn’t the only one to talk to the media, Director Francesca Gregorini sat down with Yahoo! and had some great things to say about Jess:

“With Jessie, she read the script and wanted to meet me about it. I wasn’t sure if she was going to be right for the part because I hadn’t seen her do this kind of work in her other films. But I was more than happy to meet with her. She told me she was willing to audition for the role, because that’s how much she wanted it. So that’s what we did; she came in and auditioned and blew me away. She really was a revelation to me, and I think she’s also going to be a revelation to audiences, because she does a phenomenal job in the film. No one’s seen her do this kind of work before, which is awesome.”

This was Kaya’s first American film and she was a bit intimidated about working with someone of Jesse’s stature, but went onto say:

“From the second I met Jessica, she was a normal person, she has no airs or graces about her and she’s extremely professional. She connected with me, She Gave me advice, made sure I wasn’t feeling lonely. She was wonderful.”

It’s cool to hear the ladies all got along so well.. Not always the case on a film set! “The Truth About Emanuel” hits theaters this Friday, January 10th!
