Pine was blown away by his co-star. “The level of assuredness and centeredness Florence has is off the charts,” he says. “I have never met an actor so comfortable in her own skin, so capable of taking ownership of a scene simply by the force of her presence.

So it’s quite refreshing to see a normal take on such a scary world.
