Hitch suggested a name actress to play Marion because the bigger the star the more unbelievable it would be that we would kill her.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want my tombstone to say actress. I want it to say human being.
Everyone feels a sense of ownership in creating a Lynn Shelton movie. Lynn chooses amazing people - including the crew. Every person there is committed to making the film the best it can be.
Believe me, when an actress is told that her very name is synonymous with bad acting, she's had it.
With the exception of 'Descent,' that was a very conscious thing to make an action or horror movie that was an all-female cast because I hadn't seen anything like that before.
I love thinking of movie stars who could play the characters in the books I write.
Some of the biggest movie stars in the world are essentially characters.
Apart from being Jennifer Lewis. The name pulls people in.
There's no such thing as a standard size movie star, or woman for that matter.
Anne Baxter was a very good actress, Donna Reid was great. You couldn't name an actress I wasn't crazy about.
Hitch was interested in what I had to offer, like one of my background ideas for Norman's upbringing.
