In Their Words: About the Movie
While promoting her film First Snow in a recent interview, Piper Perabo took the time to answer a few questions about the upcoming thriller Carriers. This is what she had to say:
MEDIA: What do you have coming up next?
PIPER: Next I have this movie coming out called Carriers, which I also shot in New Mexico. We didn't shoot them back to back, but they're coming out that way. It's a sort of apocalyptic thriller which I'm really excited about, with Lou Taylor Pucci...I keep getting lucky and getting to work with these guys that I love. And I think it's going to be really good. We're still in post, but I saw some of it. It looks really good. I'm excited.
The story focuses on four friends, yes?
It's about four friends, yeah. A pandemic breaks out in the United States, and these two brothers and their girlfriends steal a car and kind of try and outrun it.
Is it more about the tension of the relationships rather than the pandemic itself?
Yeah, it's really about the relationships, because they're trying to get to the middle of nowhere, where there won't be disease. And so in some ways, it's like a play, because it's these four sort of innocents in a car, and there's no law anymore. There's no government control of anything. So it's cool.
