Some detail about Ellen Page’s involvement with Beyond from the creator

Cage is not a marketing guy, but he is a great salesman. Before we see the footage for the first time, he milks the announcement of Ellen Page as his star with gusto, reducing his soft voice almost to a whisper and offering a dramatic pause before her name. She was who he’d had in mind from the moment he started writing Jodie, he says, for her combination of strength and vulnerability. He describes her arriving at their first meeting like a soft-focus scene in a romantic movie.

“When she came she was 10 metres away, looking for some strange French people somewhere, and when I saw her I felt, my God, that’s Jodie. It’s a very strange thing for a writer, seeing your character appear in front of you by magic, almost. As she was walking towards me, it lasted like 10 seconds, but it was a year for me.” Cue strings.

I’m kidding, but in conversation later, Cage swells with genuine, starstruck pride about working with Page. “She came in a very simple way… very easy to deal with, very professional, just wanting to give her best. She really respected the medium, which was something incredibly important to me, to have someone saying, ‘I’m going to treat that as seriously as if it was a movie, I don’t care it was a game.’

“When you direct someone like Ellen it’s really like driving a Ferrari… It’s really sensitive. You need to be very careful about what you say because she’s going to give it to you.” He’s full of praise for her work ethic too - and it was work, as different as you can get from an easy voiceover gig. Shooting without sets, props or costumes on Quantic’s motion capture stage in Paris “requires a lot of concentration and focus” from an actor, Cage reckons. “She kept saying that this is like an acting boot camp.” Has she seen the results yet? “No… not yet,” he says a little sheepishly. “But I think she will be surprised!”
