The Gorge cast — Anya Taylor-Joy on playing Drasa
Anya Taylor-Joy plays sniper Drasa, a Lithuanian who is also a trained assassin and is charged with guarding the opposite side of the gorge.
Anya says: "I wanted to dance with Miles. I’ve known Miles for a long time and I knew we’d have a good time making the movie. And I was in it for the dancing of course.
"Surprisingly, considering her job, Drasa is comfortable in her own skin. Because she’s so light, she’s able to bring Levi out of a dark place. I think she reminds Levi that there is light in the world. It felt really tender. I really loved the way they fell in love and what they do for each other. I found it very believable.
"When I read the scripts, my heart just broke for Levi,’ adds Miles. ‘He felt like he was just existing, somewhere in between and out of place. So, I really wanted that connection that he forms with Drasa to be some kind of light coming back into his life."
* British star Anya Taylor-Joy is best known for her role as chess champion Beth Harmon in the Netflix hit series The Queen’s Gambit. She’s also been in Peaky Blinders, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Last Night in Soho, Amsterdam, The Menu and The Northman.
Miles Teller on playing Levi
Miles Teller plays another sniper called Levi in The Gorge. Levi is an American sniper struggling with his past. He’s considered expendable but through Drasa finds a reason to live.
Miles says: "Because they are both snipers, they start to fall in love with each other through their sniper scope and I thought that was a really interesting premise. Their love story was everything.
"It’s a love story under tension. It takes you on a journey and right when they seem the happiest, they get thrown into hell. It’s a living, breathing hell and it’s not worth it if only one of them survives. They need to get out of that thing together and I just love that."
* Miles Teller previously played Lt. Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw in Top Gun: Maverick and has also been in Spiderhead, The Offer, War Dogs, the Divergent movies, Footloose and Fantastic Four.
