Although the 'American Ultra' star wasn't able to reveal too much information about the untitled movie because the Hollywood filmmaker doesn't let people talk about his work before it's release date, she recalled the experience and awkwardness of not having any idea about the character, which she said was a "stretch".

Kristen explained: "It's weird, you're not supposed to talk about Woody Allen movies before they're out, but I think I'm probably allowed to generally say it's a stretch for me. And so I just wasn't sure. So, I just cold read, and I was like, 'I have no concept of [the character]."

"But it feels good to prove yourself because it's weird when people just hand you roles, and you're like, 'You've never even met me. You might hate me. You're gonna spend three months making this thing.'"
