Those movies don’t seem to ever get scrapped, but it did.” “We got down the road, we were gonna shoot it,” Lizzy shared. “I think there was a start date. I had had meetings with Channing, and there were a couple different… we had a director, then we didn’t, but I had multiple meetings with Channing and the other producers.” “Let’s just say that was, like, so many years ago,” she said. “The ‘Gambit’ thing, that’s when those movies were, I guess, probably the best they were. That’s when they were dominating in every possible way. ” “I had a lot of stress about doing that kind of movie even then,” Lizzy concluded. “So now I’m pretty okay not doing one of those movies. I can hear my manager screaming in the other room.” You can currently catch Lizzy in the recently released Netflix series Zero Day, alongside a star-studded cast including Robert De Niro, Angela Bassett, Matthew Modine, Connie Britton and Jesse Plemons.
