New interview: Humans biggest threat in new series (Lauren & Norman Reedus)

It's a lovely interview ... I have to admit I mostly kept on staring at Lauren, because SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL! Click on the photo below to see the interview:


"Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan says the "human threat" is the biggest danger in the third series of the zombie drama.
The actress, who plays Maggie Greene, reckons the show is successful because people imagine how they would cope in the place of the characters."

Lauren's interview with Starry Constellation Magazine


Q:  What are some of the recent projects that you’ve been working on?
A:  Oh, “The Walking Dead,” “The Walking Dead” and “The Walking Dead." It’s been about nine months that we’ve been shooting season three. I also did a great episode of “Children’s Hospital,” which is a completely left-field parody that’s on Adult Swim that came out this year. Then, I have a little recurrence on “The Vampire Diaries,” but my year has been pretty much taken up with the apocalypse. So, it’s been a good 2012 so far. Interesting season three.     
Q:  What can you tease us about the upcoming “The Walking Dead” season and about your character?
A:  We’re going to see a changed Maggie. She’s still the same girl at heart, but she has risen up to the challenge of becoming a warrior. She sort of joins the men as one of the stronger members of the group to clear the way to a new home and to a new safe-hold for the group to live in. We see them at the end of season two, leaving the farm in a storm as they run from the sea of “walkers” that are sort of taking over that land and they really are a group that has no place to lay their head. We had a hint of that at the end of season two, which the group ends up finding in season three. We now have a very pregnant Lori and we have Maggie and Glenn who are still intact as a couple (so very, very strong as a couple) sort of taking more of a leadership role. Maggie still is lucky enough that her father and her sister are alive and it’s just trying to maintain that family security, trying to keep people safe and in the process, learning to wield a lot of weapons and really learning what it takes to survive, not just against the Zombies and in this derelict world, but also against a new human threat, which is the governor and the people Woodbury who wish no good to our group. So, just when you think they’ve been through enough and they’ve kind of earned the right to rest easy, things only get more difficult. 
Q:  We love Maggie as a Zombie killing soldier. How has it been filming the fight scenes?
A:  The fight scenes have been some of my favorite parts of the show. We’re very lucky that we get to do this deep character drama and then turn around the next minute and we’re in with this full-on action, Braveheart-esque thriller. The little girl inside of me that always sort of loved horror as a kid and sort of put it to one side as I grew up. It has now had a complete return to everything gore related. I was watching the season premiere and it’s so cool, because I watched and remembered how much I loved sort of screaming for my life, thrusting blades through the skull of a Zombie and beating up our stuntmen. It’s definitely my favorite part of the job. You hone your own war cry and you really feel what you’re made of when you do this stuff and it’s just absolutely awesome. All of us go into doing these scenes and we just feel like kids that are at the best summer camp of our lives. It’s really cool. I wish everybody could have this experience.
Q:  What has been your hardest scene to shoot this season?
A:  My hardest scene is definitely when my family comes under threat and you sort of realize that nothing is safe and that no one is safe. It’s very difficult because you become so close with your cast as well as the characters become close with their family members. So you sort of face a few challenges over time. The hardest thing is to say good-bye to people, definitely. It’s a great challenge as an actor and a great challenge as a human being.   
Q:  You filmed in rural Georgia. How do you spend your down-time on set?
A:  Down time? Don’t get that much of it, but when we do I definitely go to some fun place to go out dancing in Georgia. I love to go to wine bars and just walk around. Georgia has so many beautiful parks and now that it’s cooling off it’s really nice to be outside. They also have amazing vintage shops. I’m a huge vintage shopper, I absolutely love it. My one thing that I love to do most is decorate houses. I’m in a rented house so it’s sort of difficult for me because I’d love to be tearing down walls and painting and stuff like that. So, that’s my one hobby I have to reserve until I’m back home in England. But yeah, the crew and cast, we’re all very very tight. We spend a lot of time just sort of hanging out. We go away for the weekend, visited Charleston and different places that are a few hours drive from Atlanta. It’s a beautiful place to be.  
Q:  How will relationships be tested this season?
A:  Sometimes there’s a challenge and a danger when you’re in love with someone and how that can be held against you. You’ll get to see some of that this season.
Q:  What do you think it is about the show that continues to draw so many viewers?
A:  I think that people can see themselves in the situations that these characters are in. They’re people that have been thrust into this challenge. They haven’t chosen to be in an apocalypse and when you’re faced with death and survival, you do what you need to do and I think it shows what sort of character you really are. I think we’re all in our heart really, really curious about how we’d fare. So that’s why I think we as a cast are always trying to keep it and the whole production team are trying to keep it as honest and real as possible to let people sort of hopefully see themselves in this position. 
Q:  You’re part of the social networking site Twitter. Why is that important for you to connect with fans this way, and were you surprised that you have such a large international fan base?
A:  I feel incredibly lucky for “The Walking Dead” to be released internationally, for myself and for the fans. I know that it’s such a fun show to connect with people on and it’s such a cool transformation from the comic to the television show that I know people like to have a forum to sort of talk with us, talk with the creators of the show and talk with each other. I’m so grateful to Twitter for that because it’s the fans that make the show. The show would be nothing without them. I really love them, I love their support. We get nothing but such great ideas and great questions. We pinch ourselves every day for how cool it is to be on that show and how cool it is to make it with all of you guys. We love it, bring it on. 
Q:  Is there anything about your "The Walking Dead" character that wasn’t written that you chose to add yourself to enhance the character?
A:  Every day, everything that’s written expands tenfold when we bring ourselves and our characters. You’re always coming to evolve, making choices you believe Maggie would make and you’re getting to know Maggie through the course of the thing (and me as well). I’m getting to know Maggie through the course of filming and making the show. There are things that you are conscious of being and then there’s all kind of unconscious things that you bring to the show and that Steven [Yeun] brings to the show and Norman [Reedus], Andy [Lincoln] and Sarah [Wayne Callies]. It’s such a pleasure to see these characters become three dimensional. It’s what excites the writers and it’s what excites us. We have this great communication between the production and the writer’s room and us as actors and it’s really a fun thing because if there’s a great idea that somebody has, everybody wants to sort of talk through this idea and make the show as good as possible. So, sometimes me as Maggie or Lauren will be interacting with the group and I’ll say you know, "I don’t know that character that well. I’d love to have a scene where I really get to know Carol, where Maggie and Carol get to sort of get to know each other and who they were before all the world went to shit." So, it’s such a symbiotic thing. We’re very much in touch with each other about how to make this as interesting as possible, because if we’re excited about it, that plays on screen and that plays to you guys. That gets everybody thinking, and that’s really what keeps us alive. It keeps “The Walking Dead” live.
Q:  You’ve teased about a return to "The Vampire Diaries," is there anything you can share further about about Rose with fans?
A:  Yes, I’ve just done a little return to “The Vampire Diaries” this year, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen. If there was something meatier I’d definitely go back and say "hello."
Q:  You touched on it briefly, but what would you like to say to people who are fans and supporters of you and your work?
A:  I think I said before just how grateful I am, but I just really love meeting people. When I meet people at conventions and I meet people in the street who have been fans, definitely a lot of stuff I’ve done (my trajectory so far) has been a lot of science-fiction and it’s what I love. Getting a chance to do that with “Chuck,” showed a little bit more comedic and I'm engaged with “The Walking Dead,” which has been a very fun. It just been fun. I definitely feel this immense gratitude. The amount of people I meet that are like, "You’re just so cool! You go from one of my favorite shows to the next of my favorite shows!" I just think, I grew up watching "Star Trek" and I love story and I love heightened reality and fantastic realism. It’s one of my favorite things to do. So, I’m really glad to meet everybody there and I’m really glad to be so lucky to do such great shows. That they’re watched by people, and that so many people are fans of them as much as I am, I just hope to keep doing challenging stuff, do some good movies and do some things.

The Hollywood Reporter: Exclusive interview with Lauren Cohan & Steven Yeun

THR has an exclusive "Gleggie" interview! I didn't select only the Lauren parts because I think it's awesome as it is! Enjoy!

7 Days of 'Walking Dead': Steven Yeun, Lauren Cohan on Glenn and Maggie's Rough Road Ahead

Plus Yeun previews there are more letters to come in the comic series in the wake of the events of the 100th issue.


Maggie and Glenn have always been the glimmer of hope on AMC's The Walking Dead. The outspoken farmer's daughter and the former pizza delivery guy found their way to each other on the zombie drama's second season after they barely escaped the burning farm that had been overrun by walkers, with Glenn using the opportunity to (finally!) profess his love for Maggie.
This season, Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan) are on the road as what's left of Rick's group searches for a place to call home -- along with Maggie's father Hershel (Scott Wilson) and younger sister, Beth (Emily Kinney). As part of our Seven Days of The Walking Dead preview leading up to Sunday's third season premiere, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Yeun and Cohan to preview the tests ahead for the on-screen couple.
The Hollywood Reporter: Now that Glenn has a whole family with him -- Maggie, Hershel, Beth -- how will that change him? Might he need to man up faster than he'd anticipated?
Yeun: When disaster does strike, his initial reaction last season was to freak out with the new things that are coming forward. With Maggie, when disaster struck and he almost died, he bugged out for a second. This season is Glenn having been weathered, having gone through it and understanding that he is an important and vital person and he has to be a man an in order to do that. He needs to man up and that's what he does: he doesn't cower in the face of disaster but puffs out.
How will things change for Maggie now that she's out of the confines of the farm?
Cohan: She continues protecting her family and brings Glenn into that fold. Right in the beginning of the season, they're going to be challenged immediately. The new family dynamic with the group being so small and in a new location is going to be very real and interesting because we have people who are in positions of authority -- as we see at the end of season two with Rick declaring that it's not a democracy -- that you question but still know that you have to trust. There's no division within this group; it's still a whole new family. For Maggie, it's that we've come this far already and that's all she really knows how to do.
Will Maggie step up up more? Andrea is MIA and the group doesn't have a strong viable female leader.
Cohan: We do see Maggie stepping up more in terms of the advice, support and force that she can provide. We definitely see a battle for Rick to maintain control for the group and to maintain strength for the group. It's very much like a real family: You know that people can make wrong decisions sometimes but it's always for the group's good at the forefront. Maggie is questioning and challenging it the whole time -- for the sake of protecting the group. She's very outspoken and goes out and does a lot of things by herself.
Maggie's evolving into more of an outspoken bad-ass. What will that mean for Glenn, who's pretty easygoing and non-confrontational?
Yeun: At first, that's a dynamic of the cowgirl and the meek kid. They come together and the greatest part of that relationship is the fact that they balance each other out. Where one is weak, the other is strong. It's not a Wonder Twins situation by any means but they're definitely there for each other and it really works.
How will Glenn 2.0 impact Rick? Will they be shocked by him saying no more often?
Yeun: That's the greatest part of this: You see what a new dynamic brings into the group and you see what outside threats bring into the group. Those outside threats also mess with the internal dynamics of the group and you'll see everything and everyone tested.
How will Glenn and Maggie be tested this year?
Yeun: When you have things to live for, those are the things that can be directly used against you to test you.
Cohan: We're going to see really great stuff where the bond that Maggie and Glenn have becomes a weakness for them and they're played against each other. As we know, the human threat is going to be very prevalent this year. We've seen that the bond gives them reason to live but it's also now going to challenge them and in some ways, make them weaker. But why would the rest of it be worth it if they didn't take that risk for each other. The fact that Glenn comes into the family, they have this symbiotic support: there are times where he really goes over the edge and she brings him back in and they learn what it takes to be a real couple. We're going to see a young couple in the apocalypse learning to be the most communicative, mature couple that they possibly can and that's a new lesson.
What comes between them? Is it a difference of opinion or is it an outside factor?
Cohan: It's going to be an outside factor and it's going to involve everybody. You're going to see a divide in what people think is the safest thing to do. It's friction the whole time and nothing really ever gets settled until there's death.
With the impending confrontation with the Governor (David Morrissey), how will Glenn respond to that?
Yeun: It's such an amazing arc how it all pans out. I can't spoil that.
Knowing what Glenn's fate in the 100th issue of the comics is, does that change the way you approach playing him?
Yeun: No, I just want to play what's truthful and honest. What's honest about Glenn is he's still a kid in that he's in his early 20s and yes, you grow up a bit faster, but you still have to make mistakes along the way to figure that out. I want to play that and see him flawed. Glenn has been painted in a different way: Maybe he's not painted in a completely subservient role and that's great but I also don't want him to be a perfect human being who isn't layered because that isn't interesting or realistic. Glenn is completely flawed as well.
Has there been any good-natured ribbing on the set about Glenn's death?
Yeun: (Laughs) I just wrote that letter to [Walking Dead creator/executive producer]Robert Kirkman (in the comics) and he wrote right back. We might keep that going. I told him I was going to send write to Letter Hacks. I wrote, "Dear Mr. Kirkman, I hope this letter finds you well." That was the first two lines I got out, then I thought, "No I don't." And from there I just went with it and wrote, "Actually I hope this letter finds you with Tuberculosis," which is a pretty terrible thing (laughs). I would assume that he'd write back but what he did write back was hilarious. You should watch out for something back, it might not be issue by issue but we'll see what happens.
What did you think of Glenn's death in the comics? 
Yeun: It was crazy. But that's an awesome way to go: unexpected, impactful and just disturbing. It bled off the page, even the way Glenn says, "Maggie," just bounced off the page.
