“It’s definitely
a different role than anything I’ve ever done before, one of those things I
really wanted to challenge myself,” Nick said of the “intense” movie. When asked if he got nervous in his naked
intimate scenes with Lucas, “It doesn’t make me nervous, I think it’s important
for me to take steps and continue to grow as an actor and push myself in this
way. I think, for the audience, they have to be prepared to come see a movie
that’s pretty intense.” He continued, “The whole movie is not sex. It’s a part
of the movie. The story overall is an exciting one, and one I think people will
be taken by.”
Likewise,
Lucas said in recent interviews about her role, shared what it’s like filming
those sexy scenes. "Sometimes you just have to jump straight into it. The
more that I can shed my own personal thoughts, fears, ego, so forth, the better. When you're heading into uncomfortable
territory, too much overthinking can just make it worse.”

Further,
she says that she has a lot of respect for her co-star Nick Jonas, "I
really felt like he blossomed and grew as an artist - because he is younger,
and being in this movie was sort of bigger shoes for him to fill in some ways.
It was really incredible what he brought to this role. He was able to be
spontaneous and take so many risks.”
Director
Allen Rosenbaum, who directed teen hits such as “Aquamarine” and “Ramona and
Beezus” as well as addicting television series “90210,” “Gossip Girl” and
“vampire Diaries” describes Lucas’ role as fragile yet more dangerous than she
appears. “I look forward to bringing the fascinating characters to life in this
provocative and sexy coming of age thriller," said Allen in a statement.
"The lead character of Lena is a uniquely complex femme fatale -- a
compelling archetype that hasn't been brought to the screen in some time and is
due a revival. I am thrilled to be
collaborating with the talented Isabel Lucas on this project and am excited by
the depth and mystery she will infuse into the film."
“Careful
What You Wish For” opens May 6 in cinemas nationwide from Axinite
