ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke with Parallel director Kourosh Ahari about the sci-fi thriller.
. The filmmaker discussed working with the Hodge brothers and the nature of the multiversal film’s script. Parallel is now playing in theaters and will release through video-on-demand platforms on February 27.
In the movie, there’s the forest, there’s the house — there are only really two locations here, but I was impressed as the film itself never feels small. How is it keeping everything looking fresh visually despite primarily using two locations? Yeah, I mean, my working relationship with him and also Edwin was a little bit different than my work relationship with Danielle. Mainly because they were on from early on. They wrote the script, and they produced it. So, we would have different discussions on different levels. They were both very committed — both Edwin and Aldis — because they put a lot of their time and love and life into this story. It was the first film from their production company, also.
But I’m glad that that still feels that it’s unclear, whether she’s experiencing what is happening to her or it’s the effect of medication and what she’s going through. That’s always a fun thing to do, especially playing with such an idea of parallel universes and alternate realities.
It was a combination of both. I mean, there were some hints in the script, but I think really they wanted to do that on set and feel the moment. It’s all about these subtle elements. At some point we talked about little changes in their costume or in their mannerisms or certain things that would make it clear that these are different versions of them. But ultimately, they wanted to keep it all in the performance and have these subtle moments. So we found some of them on set.
But ultimately, she brought all of that into the character herself. Even in the scene where her character and this other version of herself is pointing gun at her, it’s such a subtle difference and the smallest details and specific layers of emotion where you could feel like they’re two different people talking to each other. But yeah, she was so committed and very passionate about bringing that character to life.
