“Three little kids played that part over the course of the movie,” he explains.
“We called all of them.
And one of them got a call at like four in the afternoon in her flat outside of London.
She answered the phone, and it was like, ‘Excuse me, is this so-and-so?’
And they were like, ‘Yes.’
And they were like, ‘Were you by any chance the baby inWillow?’
She’s like, ‘Yes.’
Adds Kasdan: “She’s in the opening sequence in the village.
You see her walking by, carrying a basket of bread.”
So it’s an extra full-circle moment that they were able to find cameos for the original Eloras.
After all, it was that baby that was Kasdan’s starting point in concocting more story.
“I always ask, ‘Is there a reason to keep telling it?’
And I was curious what happened to that child and what she would do with that power.”
