On-screen lovers Kay Panabaker and Asher Book stick close together as they attend a screening of their new movie, Fame, at Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Thursday night (September 24).

Kay, 19, recently dished to Cinema Blend about the retelling of the original 1980 musical. She shared, “It was so much fun [working with an ensemble cast]. Given that it was such a big film both in the 80s and now, we really wanted to work really hard to make it such a good film but since we worked so hard I think we also kind of let ourselves play hard.

She continued, “Like, on the weekends we would hang out, we’d go bowling, we’d go out to dinner, just get to know each other because the strong point of this film is these characters have created such great friendships and relationships that we needed to build them offset as well as onset so that it would just be more believable.”

Fame opens everywhere TODAY (Friday, September 25)!
