i thought i replied to this, why am i like this! she sounds absolutely wonderful, and ellie definitely would've sat down across from her like, "yes, hello, here are the reasons i NEED this film." precisely because the script resonated with her and she wanted to prove she could actually carry a serious - yet still sort of quirky - role. she sounds like the sort of person ellie would just adore, and while she's more introverted at first blush, she gets much more sarcastic and dry and generally outgoing once she's comfortable with someone, and i think gi's fascination with macabre and horror would, well, fascinate ellie!
