Starring opposite Adam Driver in the new sci-fi thriller, 65, is Ariana Greenblatt as Koa. Greenblatt is a star on the rise, having made leaps and bounds since her brief roles as young Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War and a young Nina in Jon Chu’s In the Heights. From her conversation with Collider’s Steve Weintraub for 65, it’s clear Greenblatt is already a natural as she discusses her easy rapport with Driver and the importance of “living in the environment and really understanding your character.” Greenblatt also shares with us the moment during production she was dreading, as well as which day she was most excited for.
In 65, a spacecraft helmed by Pilot Mills (Driver) crash lands on an uncharted planet. It isn’t long before Mills realizes he isn’t the sole survivor when he discovers a young girl named Koa (Greenblatt) in the wreckage. With only one last chance to escape, the two will have to journey across a dangerous and unknown land inhabited by deadly alien creatures. Produced by The Evil Dead's Sam Raimi and written and directed by the minds behind A Quiet Place (Scott Beck and Bryan Woods), 65 puts a spin on the alien genre by pitting man against the dinosaurs.
Greenblatt will next be seen in Greta Gerwig’s highly-anticipated, star-studded Barbie on July 21. In her interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, Greenblatt teases her part in the movie and the unexpected surprises audiences won’t see coming.
