Fennell said that she likes to cast actors — and indeed hire any of her crew — based on her personal rapport with them. If she can communicate well right off the bat, then they’ll work well on her film. She had a very positive experience with Keoghan, recalling: “The way that I like to […]

Fennell revealed that in her script, Oliver was merely to walk through the Saltburn estate in the nude, a stroll to show his comfort in the new place, now absent of its previous owners. Fennell found that a mere walk didn’t represent the bleak triumph of the character. In her words, it “didn’t feel like […]

This news is interesting in part because of how it connects to a lot of fans’ disappointment with “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” when it first came out. A common question was: Why write a story about the young Coriolanus Snow, a Capitol citizen who isn’t fighting in the Games themselves? The games themselves […]

In the original “Chicken Run,” much of Ginger’s apparent fearlessness was actually the product of fear. As demonstrated to the audience in a scene that left scars on the psyche of many children (and a few adults), the chickens who failed to lay enough eggs to satisfy Mrs. Tweedy’s quota got moved on to the […]

In an interview with /Film’s Jacob Hall, Leone went into excruciating detail about everything that went into some of the most elaborate kills in “Terrifier 2.” Continuing where the first “Terrifier” left off, Art the Clown is found lying on an autopsy table where an incredibly unlucky coroner is about to meet his end.

Knowing where Maurice ends up in the timeline of The Conjuring Universe, did you intentionally make us all fall in love with him and his new family just so that it hurts more when we reach that inevitable ending? [laughs] Yeah. That was always the plan. I mean, I think coming out of the first […]

By far the most talked-about scene in “Terrifier 2” is the one in which Casey Hartnett’s Allie suffers a brutal death at the hands of David Howard Thornton’s Art the Clown. As Damien Leone revealed to Indiewire, this kill required him to construct an entire bedroom set and build a “life-size animatronic dummy” of Allie. […]

When asked what sort of luxuries an expanded budget might afford “Terrifier 3,” Damien was relieved to say that having a crew would be indulgence number one. “Terrifier 2” was a film made with only a few people working when they could, and taking their time. With a large crew taking care of effects and […]

Matthew Perry is forever going to be defined by “Friends” and by Chandler Bing. His film career features a few pretty good movies, and he was a reliable television performer until the end. But every obituary, every remembrance, will call him a “Friends” actor. And that’s okay. Because there’s nothing wrong with being remembered for […]
