Dana Noraas is a Senior Resource Writer for Collider. Her favorite genre of movies to watch and write about is horror, but she will watch everything from Disney to Darren Aronofsky.
The Big Picture Like a true Y2K party, Collider’s media studio at SXSW 2024 was thrilled to invite most of the cast to sit and chat about the making of Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut. We got to chat with Rachel Zegler, Jaeden Martell, Julian Dennison, Mason Gooding, Lachlan Watson, Daniel Zolghadri, and writer Evan Winter about their time spent on set. Mooney talks about how the idea came to be, and the cast share how they got involved, Wētā’s involvement in the shenanigans, and tons more.
Have you been saying more about what actually happens after midnight during interviews, or keeping that more private?EVAN WINTER: Well not necessarily. Things go… in a different direction. JULIAN DENNISON: I just wanted to say, Kyle and Evan, it’s beautiful. I actually loved playing my character and stuff. I didn’t have any feelings towards you guys or the script, I loved it and wanted to let you know that I appreciate you guys. No, it was fun. I don’t know, I liked the script and the character I’m playing.
MOONEY: That’s a loaded question. I mean, Evan and I saw this through from moment one, when I texted him essentially the premise of the movie, and we wrote it together and produced it, and saw the edit through together. I’m trying to think… I don’t know if anyone jumps to your mind, but I do trust my wife is always somebody that I show.
MOONEY: But it all came together, it comes together, that’s truly the awesome thing about the experience. I think that the movie we have, I do genuinely believe it’s the perfect version of it so anyone who had a piece of advice or a thought was meaningful and helpful. MARTELL: It’s so tough… It seems like comedies should be the right answer. I feel like it’s got endless seasons and whatnot, I would say It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, but I think I’ll say Atlanta is probably I think the best show that’s ever been made. And you got both the comedy and inspiration… and drama.WINTER: I’ll go with The Deep show. I think it’s the funniest show I’ve ever seen. Had a lot of seasons.MOONEY: Keep going, man.
