Alexa Vega & Italia Ricci on "Nashville", "Chasing Life", and 'The Remaining'

I'm Oliver Trevena joined in the Young Hollywood studio with these two lovely ladies Alexa Vega and Italia Ricci.

How are you?

Hello.

I'm Alexa Vega. That's it. Oliver Trevena's friend. That's it.

This is that that's her intro. She just wanted to show her acting skills. Straight off the bat.

Straight off the bat. No. Hi hello.

I'm Oliver Trevena. Oh my god. That was good that's good. That's not bad. That was pretty good.

I'm like I'm like I would try and be you but you wouldn't wanna hear that.

She's really serenading the dog.

Yes. I'm busy. Hi sweetie.

What Georgie is a lady. She's actually just shown the world her everything she has to offer.

I have nothing to do with this. This was not my

See. Look at her she's like, why are you stopping? I'm sorry. Clearly Georgie likes the ladies.

Likes the ladies.

If only she saw your movie and then she'd be quite worried about hanging out with you two. You know much.

Yeah. She won't like it.

The remaining, the remaining. It's a nice little romantic movie if anyone wants to say.

Yeah it's a comedy. Very funny.

It's it's a total date movie guys.

Biblical rapture, nothing nothing funny about that.

Yeah it's correct.

It's hilarious.

It's hilarious.

It's correct.

Great way to start the day. It's actually funny for us because we knew what was actually happening when we filmed it. One of the funniest six weeks of my life. Oh my gosh. It really it that

We still have a group text. We're still in the same group chat. We shot it last March and we're still in the same chain. Oh wow. Of group chat. We all talk to each other. Still making fun of scenes. A whole lotta sloth jokes.

Okay. Why?

I don't know.

Who started that?

Shawn. Probably.

I was gonna ask that like I I would think that was really like when you go home after having a day filming something like that to scream in the the the terror it would be draining. But you're saying it's funny. So there's a lot about your personality isn't it girls?

Oh yeah. Well it depends certain days were harder than others. Yeah. We're shooting in North Carolina. It's about like 40 degrees and they have the rain coming down and we're all in our like wedding clothes. And as we're trying to like run across this parking lot which has like trees are on fire. It looks really cool. It looks really scary.

Yeah it does.

But they bring in this jet engine to like blow intense wind on us. So everything is moving shaking. But we're getting hit with water and this intense wind and it's 40 degrees. It was just freezing. Like I have pictures I think I posted it on Instagram where I have like eight hot water bottles like one on my head like one everywhere like we're just trying to warm up as much as we can. It was freezing. But it was still fun.

Oh yeah. They're like rubber ones. Everyone's covered up.

And is are you are you girls uh fans of like these sort of movies generally?

I love scary movies. But this one was different cuz I feel like you know when you're sort of not super famous yet you can really only do one scary movie before you're like that girl you know.

Okay yeah. The scary movie girl.

Oh yeah. You know like the The The

You're referring to I get it. I've heard

Nobody. Nobody. Nobody at all. But anyway I I read it and I was like it's actually cool because it's 100% biblically accurate. Like if the world were to end the way the Bible says it's going to this is what it would look like.

Okay. So it's not it's not a lot of running around screaming.

No worry. It's really scary.

Right. And and the our director Casey did such an amazing job of uh cuz we I've seen it. We've seen it and um of it's not in your face. Like you don't see a lot of the things so it doesn't take you away when you look at sometimes when you see the monsters or whatever you see the demons.

Okay. It's fine. He's gone. Georgie's like, I'm done with you. She's like monsters and demons. Yeah she's like, I'm out. Take the dog. Take the dog. She's scared. Georgie, go on. What's wrong with you?

Anyway, sometimes when you see them too much you can it can remove you from the story but it's done so well that you know you kinda believe it. It looks so good. I'm so excited. It looks the sound quality helps so much. Like there every time the the trumpet sounds seven times and you know that when you hear the trumpet something bad is to follow. And the sound design

Are you gonna kill us that?

Yes. Okay. You know it's I mean it's the biblical rapture. If you want to you can read it. Like it's out there.

Biblical rapture. The surely the movie's shorter than that.

But um but every time this trumpet sounds it's just it hits you in your core. It's just such a creepy eerie sound and I asked Casey. I was like, how long did that take you guys to actually find the right one? He said that was the hardest part. Because you don't want it to just be like this horn. It has to be like this this sound that just gets you at your core. I think they did a really good job.

But we move on to uh the other work that you girls are doing which is great. You're both constantly working.

Thank you.

Um Chasing Life.

Chasing Life.

How's that?

It's been incredible. Um we've aired the first 10 of um so the first half of season one and the audience has been amazing and it and the reception of it and we have a Christmas special coming in December. I'm not sure what day and then our last 10 for the the first season air in January.

That's great. And Nashville?

Oh my god. I'm so jealous. Okay. So I've never seen the show. Um and it but she when I was talking to Italia she was filling me in on all the characters and and kind of a little bit about what I'm actually going out there to do. Um and the cast is phenomenal. They're so talented. Really nice. Actually the lead guy is is a Brit. He's from London.

Okay. Okay. That's great.

Good dude. He's the guy I work with the most. Of course. Um and I basically am the mother of this 10 year old kid. Um I had the child on like 13 or 14.

Wow.

And I kind of come into the plot as Gunnar Scott's first love and we don't know who's the who who the kid belongs to really. So we're kind of sorting out all the mysteries right now. It's exciting. But some other fun things have happened. Like I got married this year. Italia got engaged.

Alexa got married. This young lady's got engaged. This is true. She did a great job. I mean wouldn't you like this thing? Give it a give it a little flash.

No. That's so special.

No. What do you mean? No. It's so douchey as in the picture earlier she went like this.

Oh I would never. Hold on.

Your your soon to be husband bought that for you.

I know. You gotta show it off. I know. But I can't stop giggling. Oh it's so love love in Hollywood.

Watch The Remaining. Um you'll see these girls not as happy as they are now. September 5th. That's it. Super fun. Yeah. Super fun. Thanks for coming in girls. So such a bubbly bunch aren't they?
