Gonzalez shared a story on her Instagram, showing a Deadline article reporting on the fact that Prime Video had picked up the international rights for “Ash.” Below the photo, she tagged Paul and wrote “Just the sweetest kindest soul ever.”

Gonzalez has discussed “Ash” in the past, especially the dynamic she shares with Paul onscreen. “We have a lot of scenes together, and our dynamic is super intense and crucial in the film,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“Ash” follows Gonzalez playing a woman who wakes up in her space-station alone, with everyone in her crew dead. Paul plays the character of a man who’s sent to her rescue, with the two not knowing if they can trust each other.

The film is directed by Flying Lotus, a producer and rapper, whom Gonzalez also praised. “We couldn't have been more lucky, because his visual imagery and the way that he spoke to us about the movie really translated to the making of the film,” she said.

Gonzalez revealed that “Ash” was a special project for her and one that she opes audiences will enjoy. “I hope that people love it, but this is one of my favorite projects I've ever worked on in my life,” she said.
