Maia Mitchell & No Way Out Co-Star Joey Bicicchi Play What Would You Do?

About this video
We were all super bummed when Maia Mitchell left her Freeform series "Good Trouble", walking away from her "The Fosters" character Callie for good, but we certainly have not seen the last of her! Her first major post-"Good Trouble" project is no less intense but is definitely more personal, as she has added Executive Producer to her list of accomplishments thanks to the action-thriller 'No Way Out'! Young Hollywood sits down with Maia, accompanied by her co-star and co-EP (and also the film's co-editer--whew!) Joey Bicicchi to find out more about the movie (which comes out a whole 3 years after it was filmed) and also about themselves with a little game of "What Would You Do?"! Find out what they would do if they could see their future, find out their past lives, write a sequel to 'No Way Out', and more!

Hi I'm Joey Bicicchi.
I'm Maya Mitchell and we are here with Young Hollywood.
We're gonna play, what would you do?
What would you do? What would you do?
I don't know, what would you do?
I don't know, what would you do?
Me neither, I don't know.
What's up Young Hollywood! We are about to play what would you do with our two very special guests. Are you guys excited?
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah baby. Let's go.
Okay so there's there's a bunch of scenarios that I'm going to ask and you would pick what would you, some are related to the movie No Way Out and some are related to your personal lives. Okay? Some are intense, just like the movie, so. What would you do if you could see your future? One, find out who you marry. Two, find out if you achieved your biggest goal, or three, find out if you have any kids.
Okay, one, two, three. Kids? What? What do you mean? You just do it. But it answers number one as well.
Oh, oh right, right, right. You don't know that?
Well we have the answers number one and number three.
Oh, okay, so it's like a two-in-one.
Yes, two-in-one.
Oh, wow. That's practical.
So strategic. I didn't know this was a strategy game.
So you want to find out if you achieve your biggest goal.
Yeah.
What do you think of that? My biggest goal? I can't I can't reveal that. It's a work thing, you know, a certain person to work with. And philanthropy, right?
Philanthropy?
Yeah. There's just a few goals that I want to achieve. We're getting there. And for me, I am just a I'm an uncle of seven and I love children and I think I'll find out who I'm having that child with if I figure out number three. So like we said, two for one.
Wow, that's amazing. That's perfect. Honestly though like that's complete strategy. Like that that's genius. You would know everything.
Okay, ready for the next one?
Yes.
What would you do if you could write No Way Out 2? Would you write that Tessa does what she did to Nick again to a different guy? Would you write that Nick escapes the cops? Or would you write that Tessa visits Nick in prison assuming he goes every day?
Ready? I wanna be in the sequel. So I need to be in the prison. I would like to work with you again so yeah that works. Um, but what does she do to Nick? What did she do? This is the question, this is the ambiguous question that needs to be answered. In the sequel. That's a good. I always thought in the sequel it could be opening with I have this friend Sammy in it and she could be in the, you know, in court answering questions and maybe that helps glue it and then we have you visiting me in prison and there's like another kind of crazy love story that happens.
This is a thought that's gonna fester. It's gonna fester.
Say you did commit a crime. This is general in life. You guys personally committed a crime. And you heard sirens coming down the road to get you. Would you make a break for it and run? Would you let them get you and turn yourself in? Or would you lie to them and tell them you didn't do it and then they decide your fate?
You ready? I think I know what you're gonna ask. I can't lie. The thing is I I would, I couldn't lie. I would have to tell the world and I'm sorry. I'm sorry I did it.
We're both completely transparent people. It's true. I can't lie to save my life. If I lied, your guilty, but yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Wouldn't it's not realistic. I don't know the ending of the movie. So, um, I think I think Nick actually would tell, in the end he would tell the truth because Nick is after truth and he does believe everything that Tessa is telling him and he's fighting for his woman so he would tell the truth because he believes that he's going after the truth.
Say there were such things as past lives. Would you want to know who you were and what you did for a living? Would you never want to know? Or would you want to know and tell the world if they asked?
Yeah. What? Yeah. I'd want to know, but I wouldn't want to have to commit to telling the world.
Yeah, I want to. Because what if it wasn't great? You know?
True, protecting yourself.
Yeah. Right. Exactly. Or Niki, because Niki might be in jail. That's right. If I saw that, like, oh, no, I can't tell anybody that. Because you might not have any friends.
But what if it was great?
Well, then you have the option. If you picked one, you have the option to tell people. Two for one.
Yes. Strategy. Look, keep up.
Okay. If you could listen to any one song for the rest of your life, which show would it be? Euphoria, Stranger Things, or The Fosters?
You're reading my cues. Okay, I got mine. Do you got yours?
Yes. Yeah. We're on a streak. The only reason why I know this is because I had to edit to it. So. Oh, yeah. And it was really fun, the beat. Still in here. It's a good song. But yeah, the other two that you said, no clue.
Yeah, it is, and he he. It's pop culture.
Oh, that's it? I was always, I mean, I've always just been kind of like a huge Beastie Boys fan. I don't know why, there's just like makes me like so calm all the time. Any time I have anxiety or anything, I just blare Beastie Boys. Yeah. It's just calms me down.
Okay. What would you do if you had 24 hours to live? Would you confess your love to who you think is your soulmate, or someone? Spend all of your money, or would you travel to your closest dream destination?
Sorry, uh, I'm a hopeless romantic, so I would go with number one. That's great.
Yeah. It's not great. I would just I would just spoil my nieces and nephews, that's what I'd do.
Oh, yeah. You'd be an uncle.
All seven of them. Yeah, all seven of them. You run out of money pretty quick though. Yeah. Gonna be broke anyway, after Christmas, so.
Okay. What would you do if you met Tessa and Nick as a couple in real life? Would you become friends with them? Would you probably avoid them? Or would you let Nick take pictures of you and then never talk to them again?
They're like everyone I avoid in LA. Yeah. What number are you picking? Two. I would avoid them like the plague.
You see what happens? I'm just like, what a what a study piece. I'm like, you guys are interesting. You should be in my life. Then Mayo come be like, you shouldn't hang out with them.
Yeah, you shouldn't. Stay away. You should You should let them take pictures of you. But you're probably right, number two. No going out with them.
I would have to I would have to explore it a little bit. You meet that guy at a coffee shop and then like Tessa comes bopping around and you start knowing about their story and everything like, okay. I could do a Saturday night with them. Right? Yeah. And then see how it plays out.
See how it plays out. Did you have a wig on or was that your actual hair?
No, that was my hair. I fried my hair for that film. It's back and great though. Yeah. That was like three years ago. It's been some time. It's just all new hair since then.
Okay, two left. If you could only binge-watch one show for the rest of your life, which show would it be? Euphoria, Stranger Things, or The Fosters?
You answered correctly. I know. I fear for my life. Um, yeah. I like Stranger Things. And I I have a hard time watching myself, so it's like my idea of personal hell.
Stranger Things is good though, you get a little bit of drama, a little bit of funny.
Yes, nostalgia. So the, it's a great show but man, I don't know if I can. It's too heavy to watch over and over. The Fosters, it's like a giant hug and you could look at this face forever.
You're sweet. Thank you.
Well, then. I've never seen it. I also love how you said Euphoria is intense. Euphoria is very intense, but so is your movie. So,
That's true.
Different kinds of intense though. That's fair.
Okay. Last one. What would you do if your phone got hacked? Would you freak out if people saw your photos? Freak out if people saw your notes app? Or freak out if they saw your texts to your best friends?
It's okay. Yeah. The notes app is a scary place. It is. It's ideas, shopping lists, dreams, memories.
Yeah, the lists, so many lists. I love making lists. That might be the most terrifying.
She's like, she has 75,000 lists in here. I probably do. I have a list every day.
And how are you guys, so you filmed No Way Out about what, three years ago now? So now that the world is finally going to see it and embrace Tessa and Nick, how does it feel with like your current state of mind versus when you were filming it?
Um, I think there's like a little more to celebrate now because we've been friends for so long now and we've grown really close to each other and and the rest of the crew as well. We're all kind of best friends now. Um, Yeah, especially the director, Azzi Razman. We all been kind of close. And the guy that shot the movie, um, Peter Mozman, we grew up on the same block in Chicago. So I've known him since like I borrowed a pencil from that guy, freshman year of high school. And I was just like, it's really funny how it all kind of came together and the producer and writer, Keith Carville.
We all kind of have like a cool little family together now and So looking back on it and talking about like what we're talking, like thinking about in scenes and you know, it's really fun.
Well, just be careful with Tinder. Maybe maybe when you're falling in love like be a little more do some more vetting, perhaps, you know. Maybe not so quick to just. Slow and steady wins the race. Um, But I think we're talking about that dating in LA, especially when you come here, no one really knows each other. So you're on Tinder and you're like, oh, I'm dating someone cool and you sometimes get really close to someone, you're like, why did I get so close to them? I don't know anything about this person. So maybe that's the message. But believe in love. Yes. Love prevails. Always. Always. Even if it kills you.
That's good. That's a tag line. That's it.
Thanks so much for watching. And you can see our movie No Way Out in select theaters and on demand starting August 12th.
