![]() You suddenly experience how absolutely outrageous his personality really is to be around.” You see this guy, almost a fish out of water, in a very, very different society. We added that scene, and I thought it really gave it a lot of life. We're getting ready to go to the escape room, but it's the scene where we're in there and he starts vlogging and….(removed to avoid spoilers) That was actually one of my favorite scenes to shoot and watch because it was shot after the movie had finished. “What ended up happening was, after we had shot the movie, we shot a separate scene, which is where Holland and I are in this Russian restaurant. What was your favorite scene to film in this? If you've seen the film, what was your favorite scene to watch? It could have just been the fact that the surroundings were very vague and unsettling, or the fact that it was an actual ghost town, and the word kind of warrants the behaviors that you may or may not experience.” It could have been my mind playing tricks on me. It's still one of the scariest things ever, and I don't know why it was scary. That's usually the most dangerous thing to hinge your reality on is, honestly to almost capitulate to your surroundings and be like, “You know what? I'm just going to do something totally dangerous and insane, just to give myself shock factor because my mind is so idle.” But, I'm glad I did it.

For the most part, I tried to draw a character out that would allow people to almost see the absurdity of what really goes on in vlogging and in social-media-influencer world, and how an audience is almost an accomplice to that personality disorder.”ĭid you do anything special to prepare for this role? KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS is a great example of you-don't-know-which-mask-you're-seeing, but it's still a delightfully fun and sometimes horrific experience. It's been something in my life where you have your private life, you have your personal life, and then you have your online life, right? They're almost like these masks that you wear, and people like to transcend that sometimes as influencers and show their private life, and in some ways they've capitalized on that. “Well, I feel like doing this movie, I was able to draw a lot of the things in which I recognized in myself when social media first started. In what ways are you like your character Cole? I think, short term, the escape room long term, social media influencers.” I think both have a shock factor and a fright factor that matches each other in different ways. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which do you think is scarier and why? Getting stuck in an escape room possibly run by sadistic sociopaths or social media influencers? Sorry if it feels redundant, but sometimes I just want to get some different perspectives. If you read my interview with Director Will Wernick from yesterday, you’ll recognize this first question. After brief small talk, I started with my questions. You may recognize the actor from his role as Toby Cavanaugh on PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.
