James McAvoy

i've been a fan of loads of his films and i was like definitely it came to me and i thought this has got the potential to be really good like it could also go off a cliff and be really bad but i think that's the case with most really interesting or fun things right they could go either way that's not a criticism of his material there by the way um

but yeah it was a lot of characters it was a lot of work but it was well written and I thought it's good hard work and as long as I've got enough time to come up with this we can figure it out but it was down to the wire trying to find all the characterisations the last one we found was at the table read in fact Jason Blum had flown in and people from Universal had flown in to Philly where we made the film and yeah

This new film is a Blumhouse as well. And it does, the Blumhouse does so well.

I think so too.

It's down to the wire. And the... Director Knight goes, listen, I think for the character of Hedwig, the kid in the movie, he's like, I think you should do it with like a sibilant S. I'm like, like a lisp? He's like, we say sibilant S. And I was like, all right, cool, I'll do it with a sibilant lisp. And I'm like, what? I'm just going to throw this in to the table read.

I was like, are you kidding? Oh, fuck, okay. And then within seconds of doing it, I was like... this was a good call. And suddenly the whole character came together. But no, look, it was a lot of heavy lifting that job, but if you can lift it, then it's a good lift. Do you know what I mean? I'm speaking like I'm a total bro.
