“I really gravitate towards stories of trauma”: Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote Discuss Shooting Experience and Season 2 of Pieces of Her

Actors have to fully immerse themselves into the emotions of their roles to
deliver an authentic performance. But when they are not acting, actors need to
keep a sense of reality. Pieces of Her cast had a lot of intense scenes to shoot
for the Netflix show. So, naturally, they had much to share about their
experiences on the set.


TONI COLLETTE AND BELLA HEATHCOTE ON SHOOTING INTENSE SCENES FOR PIECES OF HER

Netflix’s Pieces of her is an interesting show about a family whose life turns
upside down. Laura Oliver (Toni Collette) and her family are endangered, as her
past comes back to haunt her in the series.

The show includes multiple intense scenes, both physical and emotional.
Unsurprisingly, such scenes take a heavy toll on the actors. In an interview
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aXfCslyUqE] with E! Red Carpet & Award Shows,
protagonists of Netflix’s psychological thriller, Toni Collette and Bella
Heathcote (playing Laura’s daughter Andy), talk about their struggles while
shooting.

While talking about her experience of going to set and shooting, actress Bella
Heathcote said that even though she is grateful for her job and loves acting,
the flashback scenes were “harrowing.” Meanwhile, Toni called the story
“amazing, full of twists and turns and everything is at stake all the time.”

When asked if the shoot was an escape from the real world, the two actresses
shared how the shoot wasn’t a fun experience. “It wasn’t an escape, we were in
it!” exclaimed Bella in answer to the question. Meanwhile, Toni felt that “every
scene we filmed felt more intense that we anticipated.” Owing to the intensity
of the characters and their situation, the actors felt exhausted by the end of
the shoot. So much so that Bella’s favorite scenes to shoot were with Amari and
Jacob before things went south in the series.


“IT WAS A NO-BRAINER,” SAYS BELLA ON SIGNING UP FOR HER ROLE

While talking about why she agreed to the role. Bella said that she was drawn to
the “realistic arc” that both the female characters had. She also shared how she
couldn’t stop reading the script and later the book that inspired the show. To
her, picking up the role was a “no-brainer.”

“I really gravitate towards stories of trauma, about people trying to escape,”
said the Hereditary actress while being asked where she’ll like to live like her
character. She further pointed out that there are some similarities between her
characters in Pieces of Her and Hereditary as both try to protect their family
and struggle with generational trauma.

As of now, Netflix has not made any announcement about the show’s sequel season.
When asked about a possibility in the interview, Bella said it was absolutely
possible and asked the people to spread the word.

The novel that inspired the series is a standalone written by Karin Slaughter.
However, considering how Netflix likes producing multiple seasons of its show,
given there is fan demand, we can remain hopeful. Meanwhile, the series is
streaming [https://www.netflix.com/title/81015514] on Netflix, and you watch or
re-watch while waiting for a season 2 update.
