CALLUM: I’m not here to talk about my ex-wife or any other relationship.

WXRZ REPORTER: Ms. Thomas, what was your first reaction when you found out about your book being picked up?

THOMAS: Shock. I spent a long time hoping I’d be able to do something nobody else had and finding out that Through Shattered Glass was becoming a movie was something I’d never thought would happen.

WXRZ REPORTER: And what would you say about the assumption that your book is based on real-life events?

THOMAS: All my work is fictional, but there are always going to be pieces that are related to something in my life.

WKDP REPORTER: What are your thoughts on the cast of the movie? Were they who you pictured as the characters?

THOMAS: I couldn’t have chosen anyone better to play the lead roles. Corbin and Olivia brought this story to life.

WXRZ REPORTER: Mr. Callum, what led you to audition for the role of Ryker after the string of action movies you were cast in?

CALLUM: I was looking for a change of direction and knew that this movie was one I couldn’t turn down.

WXRZ REPORTER: And why is that?

CALLUM: Because I knew that it was Kinley’s book and I wanted to support my best friend in any way I could. That’s all I’ll say about it. Next question.

WBRB REPORTER: Ms. Davies, what was your favorite part of playing the role of Rebecca?

DAVIES: Getting to be part of a beautiful love story. Beck and Ryker have the type of love that is unforgettable because it’s real. Plus, Kinley is my favorite author and being able to play a character I admire for her has been a dream.

WKDP REPORTER: Mr. Callum, do you believe that Ryker was written about you like reports have indicated?

CALLUM: I believe that Kinley wrote the kind of man that I hope to be someday, regardless of who he’s based on.

WXRZ REPORTER: And what kind of man is that?

CALLUM: The kind that doesn’t give up no matter the circumstances. I spoke to Kinley on set about Ryker being my favorite character to take on because of his resilience. His love is raw, and he was able to let Beck go because he knew that’s what she needed. But they came back to each other like no time passed at all.

WKDP REPORTER: Does that sentiment relate to how you view your relationship with Ms. Thomas?

CALLUM: My relationship with Ms. Thomas is simple. We’ve been best friends for ten years despite the distance, and we’ll be best friends for life despite the circumstances. Kinley has always been my biggest supporter and being part of this movie has opened my eyes to new possibilities with her.

WXRZ REPORTER: So, you don’t regret the people you’ve hurt during the time you pursued Ms. Thomas?

CALLUM: I’ll always regret hurting people I care for, but there’s a lot people don’t know about my former marriage that I have no intention of revealing. If there’s one thing I’ll never regret it’s being part of Kinley’s life in any way she’ll have me.

WKDP REPORTER: There’s speculation that you two will get married in the near future. Are either of you willing to shed on light on the rumors?

THOMAS [laughs]: Right now, we’re preparing for our daughter and trying to mend the past that separated us for the last decade. It’s obvious that we’re not perfect, we both have regrets, but we’re trying to make up for it.

WXRZ REPORTER: Ms. Davies, what was it like working with Mr. Callum and Ms. Thomas on set?

DAVIES: Everyday was amazing. Knowing Kinley was watching always made me push to be my best and working with Corbin was great too. They’re both talented.

WXRZ REPORTER: And as a couple?

DAVIES: That’s an inappropriate question, but in my personal opinion, I’m rooting for them. If people can fall in love with Beck and Ryker, there’s no reason why they can’t with Corbin and Kinley.

WKDP REPORTER: Last question. If you could change anything that’s happened in the last six months, would you?

CALLUM: No.
