Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton join CinemaBlend to discuss the upcoming 'Ready Or Not 2'. Weaving delves into the creative decision behind her character Grace's shocking laugh in the finale of the first film and how that ethos of providing options carries into the sequel.
Transcript
00:00To start by talking about Grace, I will say one of my favorite stories about the making of the first
00:05movie
00:06is in the final scene that it was your call to laugh as everybody is exploding around you.
00:11Just because it shows such an incredible grasp of the character and who she is.
00:16I'm wondering how that kind of ethos kind of carried over into the making of this movie
00:19and how much kind of command you took over her journey.
00:23I think because tonally it walks such a fine line that I wanted to make sure in the edit
00:36they had whatever version they needed of that specific scene.
00:40So there was a version of that final scene where I'm taking it very seriously
00:46and like truly shocked and horrified.
00:48And yeah, I thought, oh, I'm going to let me do one more where I just laugh.
00:53To see if, because that's what the audience might react to, like it's a funny thing.
01:00And so if I'm laughing, the audience knows like, oh, we're allowed to laugh.
01:05And it's kind of a weird thing, human response.
01:09So I tried to do the same thing in the second one, just give them options
01:14so that depending on what scene follows it or what's coming afterwards,
01:22do we need this scene to have a little bit more levity or do we need to bring it down?
01:27Sure.
01:28Yeah, they write like that.
01:29That's really an ode to Matt and Tyler, though,
01:31letting the best idea come out of left field and win.
01:34Yeah.
01:35You
