“The knife drop for me is a real mic drop.”

Fair Play took a lot of preparation: a full week of rehearsals, improvised backstory, and careful intimacy coordination. For actors Phoebe Dynevor and Alden Ehrenreich, that work was crucial to finding their characters. “I think that had a big impact on us feeling like we actually lived in those spaces,” Ehrenreich says in a new featurette, which you can watch above.
Fair Play centers around Emily (Dynevor) and Luke (Ehrenreich), a pair of financial analysts in a relationship which is forbidden by their shared employer. But when one of them gets an unexpected promotion, their union gets pushed to the brink, threatening to unravel far more than their recent engagement. You can watch it on Netflix now.
