Elizabeth Gillies on Watching ‘Quiet on Set’ With Ariana Grande Over FaceTime, Reprocessing ‘Victorious’ and How Empowering New Movie ‘Spread’ Tackles the Porn Business


Elizabeth Gillies talks starring in and producing her new movie 'Spread' — and how 'Quiet on Set' made her 'reassess and reevaluate' 'Victorious.'

Directed by Ellie Kanner and written by Buffy Charlet, the new film follows Ruby (Gillies), an aspiring (and very broke) journalist who is forced to swallow her pride and take a temp job at Spread, an outdated adult magazine. After impressing her boss Frank Ferretti (Harvey Keitel), an aging industry king who longs for his glory days, Ruby — in a last-ditch effort to save the company from financial ruin — is tasked with modernizing and diversifying Spread’s editorial strategy with a brand new app. In a wide-ranging interview, Gillies opens up about how she hopes “Spread” will challenge preconceptions about the adult industry, how she’s found her own power and agency in Hollywood and her plans to release new music in the immediate future.
