Newsgd: Please introduce the role you play in the Transformers 5.
Isabela: Yeah, I play Izabella. A complete coincidence. I play this street-smart girl who has learned to defend herself, fight, and outsmart the government with her transformer friends including Canopy and Squeaks, these cute little blue guys who you will see a lot in the movie.
Laura: I played Viviane Wembly. She’s English and she’s an Oxford professor of medieval history. She’s very strong willed, strong minded, and tough. She plays polo. She’s stubborn. I think as the movie moves on we start to see how sarcastic and witty she could be.
Newsgd: What preparation had you done before Transformers 5 filming?
Laura: Yes, it is completely different to anything I’ve ever done. I did a lot of preparation, actually more physical preparation for this film than I’ve ever done for any other jobs. I just want to make sure I was really strong and really fit. I just had a baby so it is very important to me that I worked with a personal trainer who was sensitive to the fact that my body’s just changed a lot and been through that and she built me back up to a place that when I started the movie. I felt really prepared and fit, really ready to go.
Isabela: You know I had a bit of physical preparation. I've done movies before and I've been in trailers. I played in other films when I was younger, but this movie franchise meant so much more to me than other average film. I am glad to work along side Mark Wahlberg, who being in one of my favorite movies- The Departed.
Newsgd: How do you feel working with Mark?
Isabela: Yeah, you know, I worked with him a lot and he has really been a good guidance, a really good emotional support as well. Especially when I get really nervous during shooting, Mark would grab my hand and squeeze it and just let me know that everything is okay. Yeah it's alright to be nervous, it's human. We aren't all robots who are totally comfortable in every single situation.
Laura: Mark is wonderful. He’s such a lovely actor to work with. He set a really great precedent for the whole movie. He works so hard, I think everybody wants to work as hard as Mark and Michael. There were lots of funny moments. Shooting a movie together for 8 months, and you become a real family, so there’s a lot of tricks being played, and lots of giggles.
Newsgd: Please tell us the most impressive thing during shooting. And what was the biggest challenge ?
Laura: I was so lucky that my team around me made it possible for me to have my baby with me the whole time, so he came with me everywhere and never left my side. For me, it was the best year ever. I had the best thing that had ever happened to me in my life, and also was able to work as an actress has so much supports from the studio and director and have them there with me. So, I am very grateful to everybody who worked hard to make sure those good things could happen.
Isabela: The biggest challenge on shooting was probably just staying awake or just staying like full energy and ready to do the next scene, ready to run a lot. It was basically like a rollercoaster during the six months. But you create a family, you create a group of people that we are going through all of this together. It's cool.
Newsgd: Any working plan in the future?
Laura: Well, I’ve spent the first half of this year being a mummy, which has been amazing and I’ve been writing a lot. Moving on to the second half we’ll see, there are a few things in the pipeline. We will just have to wait and see.
Isabela: Yeah. I just finished filming. I think it's coming out at the end of the year-Soldado. It's the Sicario sequel with Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin. I play the female lead. It is a drug lord's daughter and I'm in a very conflicting position in the movie as well.
由著名导演迈克尔·贝执导的科幻动作大片《变形金刚5:最后的骑士》(以下简称:《变形金刚5》) 今天在国内正式上映（6月23日）。
上周，《变形金刚5：最后的骑士》首映红毯礼暨系列电影十周年庆典，在广州海心沙成功举办。导演迈克尔·贝携本集新女主角劳拉·哈德克、童星伊莎贝拉·莫奈以及乔什·杜哈明以及人气歌手张杰一同亮相海心沙。
新女主角劳拉·哈德克以及童星伊莎贝拉·莫奈接受了南方英文网（以下简称英文网）的独家访问。
伊莎贝拉·莫奈, 马克·沃尔伯以及劳拉·哈德克（从左到右）
英文网：请介绍一下你们在《变形金刚 5》里面所饰演的角色。
伊莎贝拉：我在影片中饰演同名角色伊莎贝拉，完全是个巧合。她是一个很会保护自己，具有街头智慧的女孩。她和她的变形金刚好朋友Canopy 和Squeaks合力用计谋打败腐败政府。在影片中你将会经常见到这两个好朋友的出现。
劳拉：我饰演薇薇安·温布利，一个英国人。她是牛津大学教授，研究中世纪历史。她是个有坚定意志和坚强内心的人，她遇事不屈不挠而且很倔强。同时她也爱打马球。随着电影上映，我相信大家会发现她尖锐且智慧的一面。
劳拉·哈德克
英文网：为了出演《变形金刚5》，你们都做了些什么样的准备？
劳拉：我做了很多准备功夫，以往从没有过。事实上，更多是体能上的准备吧。我要确保我要足够的强壮和健康的体魄。我刚生完孩子，所以我必须配合我的私人教练去改变自己的体型，而她也很努力帮我恢复到刚开拍时的体态，使我准备好时刻进入拍摄状态。
伊莎贝拉：我之前拍电影和片花时也做了很多体能上的准备。我出演过其他电影，然而对于我，出演这个系列的电影（变形金刚系列）的意义远远大于其他普通的电影。我很高兴可以和马克·沃尔伯格合作，他曾经出演过我最爱的系列电影-《无间行者》。
英文网：和马克·沃尔伯格合作，你的感觉如何？
伊莎贝拉：我和他合作过很多次，他是一个很好的引导者，而且在精神上给予我很多的支持。当我为了拍摄而烦恼的时候，他会紧紧抓住我的手，给予我支持，告诉我一切都会好起来。他对我说，感到不安是理所当然的事，我们是人类而不是机器人，不会每时每刻都感到舒适的。
劳拉：马克实在是太好了，和他合作是一件十分愉快的事情。在整部电影当中，他是个好榜样。他非常努力，我猜每一个演员都喜欢和马克或者迈克尔（导演）合作。我们在拍摄过程中发生了很多非常有趣的事情。经过8个月的拍摄，我们好像变成了一家人，有很多恶作剧也有很多欢笑。
伊莎贝拉·莫奈
英文网：能不能说一下拍摄过程中有趣的故事？还有对你们最大的改变？
劳拉：遇到这个团队我感到非常幸运，他们非常体谅我，让我能够经常陪伴我刚出生的孩子，无论我去到哪都能带着他。于我而言，这是我生命里最幸福的一年，得到团队和导演的支持和陪伴。我非常感谢，感谢身边所有人，感谢这一切美好事物的发生。
伊莎贝拉：对我而言，拍摄中最大的挑战是要一直保持清醒和保持精力旺盛的状态，随时准备不停的奔跑。这6个月来的拍摄生活像坐过山车一样刺激，我们建立了一个家庭，建立了一个可以克服所有困难共同前进的团队，非常酷！
英文网：未来有什么工作计划？
劳拉：我今年前半年努力做了一个妈妈，这种感觉非常美好而且还写了不少东西。下半年还有很多东西正在筹划中，大家可以期待一下。
伊莎贝拉：我刚刚完成拍摄一部新电影-Soldado，这部电影可能在年末上映。这是《边境杀手》的续集，本尼西奥·德尔·托罗和乔什·布洛林也有参与。我是女主角，饰演大毒枭的女儿，在电影里我一直处于一个矛盾的位置。
