- It's interesting because I think dark characters are fun to explore in films. And the reality is we want to make these movies. We're having fun making them. Some scenes are fucking hard and uncomfortable, but most of the time between we're having a really good time making them. It's interesting exploring scary characters, they're so far away from you, but they're still human. Trying to find monsters among us in that kind of way, but people that are seemingly normal. We're all kind of drawn to that kind of character.
