William Catlett and Kevin Durand talk about making Abigail.
The Big Picture The motley crew of criminals is only one of the elements that makes Radio Silence's latest feature, Abigail, so wickedly delightful, on top of the extreme blood, guts, and ballet. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, we find out that so much of that charm and terror was unscripted, and a product of constant collaboration with directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett.
What If Abigail Was a Body-Building Vampire? PERRI NEMIROFF: Fun question to start here. Abigail is a ballerina vampire. If you two were vampires and they were defined by your favorite hobby, what kind of vampire would you be?CATLETT: I’d be a tennis-playing vampire.CATLETT: There we go. And everybody comes to visit, so we’re constantly fed.
CATLETT: What I was looking forward to is it was my first one into the horror universe. So, I was very excited about that. And then just watching Angus work, and just his improv skills and how he would just be on the bike and doing his thing. And then meeting all these guys. It was just such a joy to be a part of. So that was really an exciting moment to be welcomed into that universe.
I don't know how much you remember with clarity, but is there any particular thing you did where it felt like swinging for the fences, you thought to yourself, “They're never going to use it,” but now it's in the finished film? CATLETT: No, we didn't talk about it. I think the history is when you meet somebody for the first time and then there's a spark, you know everything that you need to know, even though you don't know them. I think Rickles feels that way and Joey feels that way, and so we just play into it and it works really well.
CATLETT: Well, I think, like Dan, it's principles. And Giancarlo broke the principle. So that's why it's like, “Yeah, you're gonna bite me and I'm gonna turn, but I'm only turning to bite you.” So I think with a military background for Rickles, I think he will be thinking along the same lines.
