Make a Real Villain
Sawyer looks over her shoulder suspiciously at the good old boys.
A palpable feeling of unease settles in.
But McGowan didnt want her two country boys to feel overtly villainous at first.
Its the creepy guy at the bar, you know?
Like,fuck off!
And the sun is going down fast.
(One morning the crew showed up on location and it was just five degrees.)
McGowan wanted Hollister to be the good guy in his own mind.
Youre not doing anything wrong.
From your perspective, youre just picking up a girl, helping her out, the director told Hauptman.
And that to me is profoundly more scary.
And when Sawyer firmly declines his offer to party, thats when just-trying-to-be-nice Hollister escalates things.
And most importantly, its a fight that feels realistic.
We didnt have the budget to deliver on that promise, so she cant be a kung fu master.
I wanted the fights to be super messy, and within reason.
And for Corfields part, she wanted Sawyers athleticism and physical conditioning to come through.
She fought to get into college.
She fought to get the big interview she was driving to.
And she was ready to fight the men who threatened her.
Shes a victim of the circumstances, but she doesnt let herself be a victim, says Corfield.
I wanted to play her as if she has a world-weariness.
Shes a kind of solo-operating absolute machine, and I loved it.
And Im like,I understand why, but no!
I get it, dude.
I dont fault those women.
