It would be the second installment of the “lesbian B-movie trilogy,” which started with Coen and Cooke’s Drive-Away Dolls, which additionally starred Qualley.
While talking with i-D, Qualley dropped just a few particulars about her character, together with that she needed to hit the brakes on her “natural Scooby-Doo” inclinations in order that she would “be slightly extra suave than I’m, extra mysterious. I are inclined to wish to diffuse issues earlier than they even occur. [Whereas] Honey, she’s like honey — she’s skillful, she’s clean, she is slipping out and in undetected.“
Qualley continued, “No girl needs to be taught how to be a detective. Women know what’s happening even when they don’t know what’s happening. I remember in my early twenties, especially, my investigative skills on Instagram were really out of control. It’s a combination of tools, craft, and gut instinct.” She added that she hasn’t learn a script or been contacted for the ultimate installment of the trilogy, however she made it recognized that if she’s not in it, “I shall be offended and I shall be upset.“
Drive-Away Dolls starred Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as two younger ladies who take an surprising street journey to Tallahassee and cross paths with a bunch of inept criminals. Unfortunately, our personal Chris Bumbray didn’t love the film, even saying it was a “bit of a dud” in his evaluation. “The only positive thing about Drive Away Dolls is that Qualley and Viswanathan do their best with the material,” Bumbray wrote. “Qualley is tasked with delivering a very over-the-top (Coen-esque) performance as the ‘wacky’ Jamie and certainly seems game. You’ve never seen her like this before, and she deserves kudos for willing to be so ‘out there’ in her performance.” You can take a look at the remainder of his evaluation right here.
