Paulette Cohn \/ Parade<\/em><\/p>\n

Warcraft<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Mission: Impossible \u2013 Ghost Protocol<\/em>\u00a0star\u00a0Paula Patton<\/strong>\u00a0heads to the small screen when ABC premieres its suspenseful, 10-episode limited series\u00a0Somewhere Between<\/em>\u00a0on Monday, July 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a labor of love for everybody involved, so much that you can\u2019t help but start thinking about ways in which to maybe do a new story or variations on things because it was an amazing experience,\u201d Patton tells\u00a0Parade.com<\/a>. \u201cIt just had some magic on it, especially for me, so I\u2019d welcome the idea of how could we do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

But before we get ahead of ourselves to the possibility of a second season, in this season, Patton plays Laura Price, a local news producer in San Francisco helping the police hunt down a serial killer.\u00a0As a result, the killer strikes close to home for Laura, but a twist of fate allows a\u00a0Groundhog Day<\/em>-type reset, and she relives the week prior to the string of murders, which gives her the chance to see if she can change fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I really love is the notion that you can change your fate for the future.\u201d Patton says. \u201cAs difficult as it may be or as uncomfortable as it is, you can change your fate, and I love that idea and the power of that and that\u2019s what I really want people to take away from it, is just the strength of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

In our interview, Patton also talks about what appealed to her about the project, she talks more about fate, how far a woman would go to protect her family, and more.<\/p>\n

Somewhere Between<\/em>\u00a0sounds a little sci-fi because of the time change, but it\u2019s described as a thriller.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is definitely not sci-fi. There\u2019s a surreal element of it, which is this idea that this woman has experienced a great tragedy, finds herself eight days before the tragedy began, and now she\u2019s got a chance to change her fate and the fate of others. So the sci-fi ends once you\u2019re like, \u201cOK, she\u2019s got eight more days,\u201d but everything else from there is real. That\u2019s the chase to the end to see if she can accomplish it.<\/p>\n

What about Laura appealed to you?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would have to say first it\u2019s the material that I looked at. You are looking at your character when you read something, but, to me, the most important thing is that the overall project is something I\u2019d want to do, that I, myself, would want to watch, and that moves my soul\u2014and it definitely did that.<\/p>\n

I was allowed to read the first two episodes and see what this woman was going through, the intensity and what the stakes were. I knew it was going to be really challenging, but I think that\u2019s what excited me, was the idea of delving into them, and also this notion of what happens, who does one become when their back\u2019s against the wall and the animalistic instincts come out in her, and maybe unsavory characteristics as well. That was a fun and interesting thing for me to explore.<\/p>\n

So how crazy does Laura get?<\/strong><\/p>\n

She goes there! It will be a bit of a surprise, but she has some animal-like moments and some vengeful moments. I\u2019m not a vengeful person myself, so that was an interesting thing to explore. It\u2019s quite fun in that role. It\u2019s a lot of mystery and murder and trying to figure out who did it. As I got to read more episodes, I found myself getting more and more surprised by where our writer,\u00a0Stephen Tolkin<\/strong>, had taken it and I felt lucky to be a part of the show. I was like, \u201cOh, this is better than what I expected,\u201d so it was fun.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a mom in real life, does\u00a0Somewhere Between<\/em>\u00a0make you think about how far you would go for your child?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Absolutely. I think that there\u2019s probably no one else you can say without question that you would sacrifice your own life for and that changes everything. I don\u2019t know if you ever really, really have that quite like you do for your child, and I think that does talk about who you become when you want to do anything to save them. So you can connect and it certainly helps.<\/p>\n

So maybe there isn\u2019t really such of thing as fate, that what happens to us depends on what we do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In mythology, there\u2019s fate and then there is still that thing that is always there, that humans they can change it, and they know a way how. That\u2019s the magic of life. Although sometimes not accepting your fate, or accepting the life that you have, is another way to say it that isn\u2019t so maybe fantastical as the idea that you might be living a certain life and think, \u201cThis is all I have and I\u2019m not going to be able to do any more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

My true belief is that we all have a chance. It might be hard. It might take great tenacity and be uncomfortable but you can do it.<\/p>\n

Are you a fan of thrillers? Do you have any favorites?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do. I love thrillers. I love the genre. I love the idea of how does one get out of it, the chase, the whodunit. I think that audience interaction in thrillers and mysteries is: Can you sort it out before the characters? And I think that that engages you so much more.<\/p>\n

Back in the day,\u00a0Ashley Judd<\/strong>\u00a0did quite a few of them, like\u00a0Kiss the Girls<\/em>, and\u00a0Denzel Washington<\/strong>\u00a0does many them, like\u00a0The Pelican Brief.\u00a0<\/em>That\u2019s a great example of a thriller that you\u2019re enjoying the entertainment of, but it also brought to light an important issue. I think that\u2019s what entertainment does best. First and foremost, you have to entertain. Then the second thing is if you can open hearts and minds in some way, then you\u2019ve done something really special. Hopefully, we do that with this.<\/p>\n
