Teresa Palmer Interview: Bringing Compulsive Counting to Screen in Addition

Based on Toni Jordan's novel, Marcelle Lunam's Addition follows a mathematician who struggles to balance her obsessive need to count with her budding romance. Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies) and Joe Dempsie (Game of Thrones) play the romantic leads that we fall in love with as the film progresses, and they are also joined by Eamon Farren (The Witcher), who plays Palmer's character's imaginary friend, Nikola Tesla. Filled with deliciously complex characters, family dynamics, and emotions, Addition teaches Grace and audiences to embrace the vibrant and technicolor world of differences by moving on from previous traumas. The film screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, where Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Lunam, Palmer, and Dempsie to break down the nuanced world and characters they created for Addition. The cast praised the freedom they found on set as they tapped into their goofy side while exploring the complexity of their characters and relationships. Find out why
