Below,Snowpiercerexecutive producer Becky Clements talks about the season 2 finale and the fate of Melanie.
[Laughs] It was a powerful ending.
The end of season 2 leaves you wondering.
Well, that’s true.
So, you not saying that it’s definitely the end for Melanie?I think that’s accurate.
She’s averygood actress.
[Laughs]
Well, if her character did die, she certainly fooled me.That’s good.
Melanie’s episode could have come at various stages in the season.
It could have been the penultimate episode.
Was it always the plan to have it where it was?It was actually.
That was very early on in breaking the season.
Is he insane or the most brilliant human left on earth?
We don’t know.
He brings such an unpredictability.
We have such very strange moments with him.
It was also fun to see Ruth get her hands dirty metaphorically and literally in the finale.Yes.
[Laughs] And reveal some vulnerability, which you don’t often get to see the character do.
Alison Wright is so talented, thoughtful, prepared, original.
I do love those last moments of she and Layton together, just watching the evolution of that relationship.
In real-life, what are those bendy bars of food they were eating?Depends on the actor.
We’ve put some rough stuff in the no, I’m teasing.
[Laughs] They’re all dried fruit bars that they have to chew on.
Where are you with season 3 at the moment?We’re starting week 4 this week.
Everyone is in Canada, and following all of our COVID protocols.
and delivering incredible material, so we have episodes 1 and 2 almost shot.
And so, is Jennifer Connelly on set there?That’s such a good question.
I don’t have the answer to that question.
I’ve got to try here, you know!It was good.
I’m the same way.
You have to try.
