Ashley Scott Movie Profile
How Ashley Scott Got Her Bikini Boddy for Into the Blue: “A lot of vomiting. I’m kidding. I do not promote that. You know what, we’re very skinny in our family. We’re tall and gangly and skinny. Some people are skinny. What are you going to do? It’s not my fault. But you can be skinny flabby. It’s good to always do some sort of exercise. I started walking at night with my sister in law which has been amazing. It really does something for you. It just kind of clears the mind, it just makes you feel better, things start to tighten a little bit.” Ashley Scott on Into the Blue Scuba Training: “I was training more learning how to scuba dive which I’d never done which was really, really, really cool. I got certified in a pool in Van Nuys. And I’d never done anything like that so that’s really what I concentrated on.” Ashley Scott on the Sharks in Into the Blue: “I was whimpering and petrified. I was not cool by any means. I was scared to death. And slowly kind of started to get a little more comfortable as it went, but it was terrifying for me in the beginning. You can imagine. They’re sharks. They’re chumming the water and whatever came, came. Everybody else is in the shark mesh and we’re flailing around in bikinis. You know, we didn’t feel so protected.” Ashley Scott on Into the Blue Stunts: “We had doubles for some of the stuff but a lot of it had to do with there’s certain hours that you can dive and then you can’t dive for another certain, like 12 hours just for the air and stuff. So we had doubles that would come and just do long distance things. But there weren’t really stunts. Jess had a few more and obviously Paul like that scene where he jumps in.” Ashley Scott on Going Blonde for Into the Blue: “I liked the short, dark hair but I found I had to wear makeup all the time. It’s weird. It bosses you out, which I don’t like. I didn’t feel really myself. But it was interesting the kind of male attention you got. Like when I had long hair, you kind of got male attention from everything. But when you had short hair, it was a different kind of man that was attracted to you or I found coming up. It wasn’t like redneck Bob anymore in the bar. It was a different thing.” Ashley Scott on the Scuba Audition for Into the Blue: “I think it boiled down to about three different girls. Three or four different girls for both the parts and they brought us to that pool in Van Nuys and put the gear on and I think they also kind of wanted to see if people were going to freak out. Really a big deal. So I think that was more of the test. More if it was just can you go underwater for the right length.” Ashley Scott on the Group Audition for Into the Blue: “It’s the weirdest thing and it’s the most awkward thing. Personally, I’m very supportive of other people, especially people that I know and a couple of the girls I knew. So you want everybody to get it but obviously it’s not going to work that way. I would read with Paul as Sam and then Jess would read as Amanda. I think they were trying to feel it out too. It must have been nice for the writers to be able to watch different actors play different characters and how they wanted to go.” Ashley Scott Still Gets the Comic Book Fans: “I do which I love. I was really proud of Birds of Prey. It was a huge responsibility that was given to me not knowing anything about TV basically. The fans were so dedicated. Not being a comic book fan, being thrown into that and seeing the extreme- - it’s taken very seriously. So I tried to do as much learning as I could about it so I wasn’t mean or anything. The fans are insane. They’re intense. It’s great. Gives you all that energy.” Ashley Scott on Being Excluded from the Into the Blue Poster: “Bastards. You know, let’s be honest. Jess and Paul have had amazing careers. Jessica especially this past summer, she’s just blown up. It’s smart and it’s not a bad looking cover, don’t get me wrong. Listen, me doing my job is just to do the best for the movie and I think that if that’s best for the movie, that’s great. I have a great role in a big film and it’s my job. I don’t need to be on the cover for that. Only the bootlegs. I sell those around the corner and it’s me. I’m kidding.” Ashley Scott on Her Character's Backstory in Into the Blue: “My favorite part is the preparation because you read on the page, you get this character. It was kind of written in the beginning [as] that ditzy girl. I imagined just that ditzy kind of trailer trash girl that was greedy. To sit down with Amanda and go, ‘Okay,’ I found her to be very confident. I imagined her being from this really wealthy background, some sort of really wealthy family so she could just jump on a plane with a dude she met in a club and not care. Daddy would send the jet. Her fearlessness with the trouble and the mischief I think came because I think she just knew she could get out of it. That made her not bad which was fun for me to play in my own mind.“But that’s my favorite part is to write a character background. I write everything from what kind of house they grew up into to their whatever their fear in school was, or did they play sports? I write a whole person which is just fun to do anyway as an exercise just for your imagination.”
And it keeps Amanda mysterious. “Yeah, I liked that twist. That was nice but I didn’t want her to be that typical girl that you hate. I didn’t want everybody to hate her and wish for her to die because it’s just more interesting to kind of like the person.”
