Despite admitting she's gagged by an NDA, one actor involved in the upcoming DCU Lanterns series has given a promising update on production – and dished out high praise for the HBO show's scripts.
Speaking to Collider, Poorna Jagannathan – who plays Zoe in Lanterns – has revealed that "camera testing" is due to start this week.
"This is the first script that I’ve read that I understand why there’s an NDA,” Jagannathan said. "Everything is so insane. It is the best writing that I have ever read."
Jagannathan continued, "This script makes sci-fi seem like my world. It makes it so accessible to me. I understand everything about this world even though I don’t understand this world. So it’s the best sci-fi script I’ve ever read.”
Jagannathan will portray Zoe, who was described at the time of her casting in a Variety report as “effortlessly confident and poised in any setting, even those where she stands out. She is every bit as composed and cunning of the influential men around her.” The cast also features Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, and Ulrich Thomsen.
"This is such a beloved character and there's such a beautiful energy surrounding the project and we, of course, want to deliver – and beyond. We're really looking forward to getting into work. I'm in prep at the moment and really looking forward to getting to it."
