Taylor Schilling gets out of jail with Stay

Orange Is the New Black star gets big-screen treatment

Daily Xtra speaks with Taylor Schilling (Orange Is the New Black, Argo) about Stay, the soon-to-be-released feature in which she stars.

Taylor Schilling, who plays the lead role of Piper Chapman in the Netflix hit Orange Is the New Black, is starring in a soon-to-be-released film, Stay.

Although Schilling has a number of movie credits to her name, she is best known as Orange Is the New Black’s bisexual inmate, doing time for transporting money for her drug-dealing girlfriend.

Stay, which will be released March 14, doesn’t look much like the prison-show hit, but with months to go before Netflix releases a new batch of episodes, it will have to do.

Nic Kazamia caught up with Schilling while she was at TIFF to promote Stay.
