The Immaculate Room, a new psychological thriller, follows a couple who are given the chance to stay in an empty white room for 50 days on a game show. If they make it, they earn an easy $5 million. But, there’s the catch and what secrets could possibly come out as they take on the challenge?

Emile Hirsch, who plays Mike, recently sat for a conversation with uInterview founder Erik Meers to discuss how he approached the film and reuniting with co-star Kate Bosworth.

“Kate and I had worked together on this film called Force of Nature that we shot in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a year or two before and we got along fantastic. We always had a great rapport and really liked each other,” he said. “When Nick came around, we really responded to the idea of doing another film together. There’s a huge range of emotions including tragic and sad ones for both of our characters. As far as playing scenes like that, you’re kind of just riding the wave. That’s the way that I played this part – just riding my instincts as much as I could. I turned my brain off in a weird way.”

Hirsch also revealed if he could spend 50 days in the “Immaculate Room” as himself.

“I have a son in real life who’s almost 9. I don’t think I would like not being able to call my son, so that would be very hard. Would it be fun to be locked in a room for 50 days? I don’t know. I mean if I had Kate and Ashley [Greene] in bed with me every night? Maybe!” he joked. “I feel like a lot of guys watching the movie are like, ‘And I get $5 million on top of that? Starting to sound better and better!'”

The Immaculate Room will premiere in select theaters on Friday.
