"Immediately, she was like, Richard, you're only offering this to me because I'm Jake's big sister. You should be finding the best actress for the role," Kelly said. "So she was already trying to talk me out of casting her, in a very selfless way. And I was just really impressed by that ... So I was really determined to convince her to do it after that."

He added that casting her helped cement the sibling dynamic on-screen.

"Maggie was really an essential piece of the puzzle that makes that family dynamic work in the film," he said. "I'm grateful that she agreed to do the role."
