Vanessa Caswill and Jennifer E. Smith chat with Screen Rant about how fate creates opportunity for Oliver and Hadley in Love at First Sight.
Summary Currently available to stream on Netflix, Love at First Sight tells the story of a couple who defies all odds. Whether it's the result of fate or their choices, Hadley and Oliver continue to cross paths in the most unlikely of ways. But while the universe is on their side, life throws obstacles in their path.
Vanessa Caswill: I think it's both. I do. I think it's both. I think that some things are written, and then how you get there is kind of your choice. Jennifer E. Smith: It's been magical. I have hoped for this for a very long time. The book was first optioned way back in 2010, so this has been a very long road from page to screen. Part of what's made it so magical is the team. Vanessa and Katy Lovejoy, the screenwriter, and the producers, and the actors, and just everybody who really loved the book and really loved the story, came together to tell it, to me, in such an exciting, wonderful way.
The memorial for Oliver’s mom is a bit unconventional. There’s a mix of grief and celebration—there are a lot of different emotions hanging over this event. Vanessa, how did you work with the actors or set and costume designers to create the desired atmosphere for this scene? Vanessa Caswill: They did, but it was on Zoom. I guess there's always an aspect of that being a bit of a risk, but it didn't feel like it at all because it was so instant—the chemistry between them. It felt so palpable and sparkly. It was just really obvious it was going to work. And it did.
Jennifer E. Smith: So much. I've always cared much more about that—that they embody the spirit of the characters rather than how they were described in the book or how they looked. Haley, especially, because Hadley is very close to my heart, and Ben is so wonderful and so charming. They're both just such lovely actors and so good with each other.
