Ash Interview: Aaron Paul, Eiza Gonzalez & Flying Lotus Talk Sci-Fi, Westworld & 3 Body Problem
26Getting left alone can take a mental toll on anyone. Eiza González and Aaron Paul felt their own sense of isolation while working on Ash. A departure for Flying Lotus after his directorial debut, the adult animated comedy Kuso, Ash is set on a distant planet where a woman (González) wakes up and finds out that her entire crew at the base camp has been massacred. Unaware of what could have caused the destruction, she goes on a quest for answers, and that quest takes a gnarly turn.
To celebrate Ash's World Premiere at SXSW 2025, the director and leads made a stop at the Collider Media Studio at the Cinema Center for a conversation with Perri Nemiroff. During the interview, Flying Lotus highlighted his enthusiasm for world-building, addressed avoiding sci-fi tropes established by Alien, and discussed how the project's main characters navigate isolation. The cast also shared how filming at a warehouse in New Zealand without their loved ones helped them get into the mindset of their characters.
In addition to talking about Ash, González also gave an update on the production status of Netflix's 3 Body Problem Season 2 and detailed her experience working with Boots Riley on I Love Boosters.
