Not many of us have ventured into the mysterious world of New York City’s underground subway system — but Arielle Kebbel sure has.
During an appearance on theTodayshow Friday, Kebbel reflected on a particularly tense moment in the trailer that shows her on the subway tracks as a train approaches.
“We actually filmed on a real New York subway,” said Kebbel, 34. “It was St. Patrick’s Day and the track next to us was still running, so we had a lot of fun surprises with people coming and going. But it was terrifying.”
“And in fact, none of that was scripted,” she added. “All of the screaming … they let me improv as what felt right for me at the time.”
“It’s a challenge, and it was one that I’m up for. Having gone to theater school and studying Shakespeare, you’re taught to allow the words to work for you,” he said onToday. “They really focus on stillness when you’re sitting on stage in theater class, so I just went back to my days at Boston University and really worked on that stillness.”

And the role opened his eyes to “what changes haven’t been made” in society, he said.
“You look at the stairs going down to the subway, and where they need elevators,” he said. “You look at the necessity for curb cuts, so that wheelchairs can have access up and down sidewalks. So you really see what work needs to be done to help the disabled community, and you also see what progress has been made as well.”
