I think you just unlocked how we upped the ante here.

Here we come with a U. The come in the title is not accidental, guys.

like there's a countdown and i mean everything about it it just feels so so grand and exciting and um and messy as hell it's just it's it's a blast it's like you don't reset it's they're one and done they are it is it is and then the rest of the day or week or however long it has to be there the set is sticky and gross and over the rest of the time but it's a vibe it's fun it's you know

I mean, he's the nicest fucking dude.

He was he was that idea came about our casting director was we were trying to find some we had to cast it locally.

And he was like, David Cronenberg is a Toronto native and might be into this.

And we were like, oh, my fucking God, that is the best idea we've ever heard.

And he, it was literally one call and Cronenberg was like, yeah, I'm in.

uh was that i mean we haven't seen her in a while was that one of your ideas was that's a casting move like who was who was this this is great my wife was so happy well sarah was a she she raised her hand it was and it was late in the process we had been trying to cast that role and i i feel like it was like two weeks out does that sound right tyler yeah it was too close it was too it was too we were like oh my god how are we going to shoot this we had a lot of

Another story, but Samara's back was basically broken leading up to shooting and we didn't have either of the brother sister roles cast.

And so it was like, oh, my God, how are we going to start this movie in two weeks?

And then we we got so lucky that somehow Sarah heard about it and said, I would be way into that.

And so we Zoomed with her, and she was on a plane, like, a week later.

And it couldn't have been cooler, couldn't have been, like, more just into everything and excited about it.

And one of her first notes was, though, that her character, before she had been cast, her character's weapon was a crossbow.

And she was like, this just might be a little too Buffy.

Yeah.

And it's also coming in with like a strong... Oh, sorry.

I was going to say coming in with like a strong choice already made.
