![]() When I watch sci-fi films, people react in such a dramatic way when something unexpected happens, but that’s not how scientists react. Another thing I love about this film is how these scientists react to peril or the unknown. There were many discussions with the cast in breaking things down, and how people behave in space and how they behave when something terrible happens. I also read a lot of books on oceanography to try to understand the basics of this science. Karolina: We had two weeks of rehearsal before we started shooting and I talked to marine biologists. Doing the research and finding the character was something I was super excited about. Going on that journey, I knew would be challenging because it’s so far removed from who Karolina is-I’m not a scientist, I’m not a marine biologist. She’d never been to space and when she got the opportunity to go, she jumped on it. It was Katya’s strength, her courage, and her passion for research and love of discovery. Karolina: I like science and the biggest thing that drew me to this project was the character. Were you interested in this type of material before you accepted the role? You knew where the cameras were but there was no one else around except for the actors inside the ship doing the scene. I think being in the ship, closed off and in that claustrophobic environment added to the authenticity of our performance. I said, wow, I’ve never heard of that being done. Although, that’s another thing that drew me to the project–wondering how they were going to do it. Karolina Wydra: I’ve never done anything like that and I don’t think I ever will. What was it like working in such a claustrophobic set with eight cameras running simultaneously? Had you ever done anything like that before? Karolina Wydra (photo by Alex A. In this roundtable interview, actress Karolina Wydra, director Sebastian Cordero, and producer Ben Browning reveal their passion for this film and the many challenges they faced in bringing it to life. Suspecting life under Europa’s ice-covered oceans, scientists played by Michael Nyqvist, Sharlto Copley, Daniel Wu, Karolina Wydra, Christian Camargo and Anamaria Marinca face the boredom of prolonged space flight as well as the unforgiving lethality of space exploration. Employing the suspenseful found-footage format used in horror films, Europa Report details-in the most scientifically accurate sequences ever filmed-a manned mission to Jupiter’s moon, Europa.
