Dakota Fanning has a new level of respect for horror movie actors after her tiring experience making Vicious.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old actress stars in director Bryan Bertino\u2019s new horror film, and Fanning has said she is \u201csuper impressed\u201d by actors who frequently work in the genre after Vicious pushed her to her limits.<\/p>\n
During an interview with Bloody Disgusting, she said: \u201cThere were a few things that had to be done out of order because of locations, but for most of it, it was filmed in sequence, which was super, super helpful.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause yeah, it\u2019s like being at a level 10 the whole time. It\u2019s a lot of crying and a lot of screaming. There\u2019s no way around it. You just have to go there and do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was something that I was a little nervous about, not knowing what that experience would be like, and whether there would be a day when I just wouldn\u2019t be able to cry anymore. I was like, I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The War of the Worlds star described her experience of making Vicious as a challenge of stamina, and said she would often finish days \u201creally tired\u201d from the intense emotions she was conveying on set.<\/p>\n
She continued: \u201cBut for some reason, I was always able to keep it going. Then at the end of the day, you\u2019re just really tired. It\u2019s just a challenge in the stamina that it takes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m super impressed by people who are in many horror films, and that\u2019s their genre of choice because it\u2019s hard work. It is hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vicious follows Polly (Fanning), who reluctantly lets an older woman (Kathryn Hunter) into her home, only to be left with a box that will bring about her demise unless she obeys its eerie set of ritualistic rules.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on making Vicious, Fanning said she had formed a strong bond with Bertino and cinematographer Tristan Nyby.<\/p>\n
She recounted: \u201cFor most of the film, it was like Bryan and Tristan and everyone in the immediate crew on set kind of filled the roles that maybe other actors would have, in terms of just the camaraderie and the support and all of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo Bryan, Tristan, and I became super close, and we\u2019re really super collaborative, not only of the emotions of the story or the character, but also of the practical elements of making things work with the camera.<\/p>\n
\u201cLearning about all of that was really exciting for me. It was a total partnership for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Equalizer 3 actress added the filmmaker was supportive of her, especially as she had been mostly unfamiliar with the horror genre at the time.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cThere were days when I\u2019d be like, \u2018Bryan, I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing.\u2019 You know what I mean? And he\u2019d be like, \u2018All right, this is what we\u2019re doing.\u2019 We\u2019d talk it through.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause it\u2019s a genre that I\u2019m not super familiar with, and there are a lot of technical things. As an actor, I haven\u2019t felt like I\u2019d done a truly pure horror film before. There are a lot of technical things that I have learned a lot about.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great challenge for lots of reasons, but the most fun I\u2019ve ever had. Really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dakota Fanning has a new level of respect for horror movie actors after her tiring experience making Vicious.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[251,784,156,788,782,409,111,43,785,783,786,139,69,787,255],"class_list":["post-69631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-breaking-news","tag-daily-news","tag-entertainment","tag-global-news","tag-inkl","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-news-app","tag-news-headlines","tag-news-today","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-today-news","tag-world-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
