Danny Zovatto opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about stepping into the mind of Dating Game Killer Rodney Alcala for Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut, ‘Woman of the Hour’
Danny Zovatto stepped into the mind of the infamous Dating Game Killer, Rodney Alcala, for his new film Woman of the Hour — and it all started with his physical transformation.
Because of Alcala’s “chameleon”-like behavior, Zovatto said doing an extensive amount of research was challenging. Instead, Zovatto studied the found victim photographs that helped ultimately incriminate Alcala, who worked as a photographer for years before his arrest. While Woman of the Hour certainly details the life and grotesque killings of Alcala, the film has garnered buzz for Kendrick’s choice to turn the true crime story on its head by placing more focus on Alcala’s female victims. That decision, Zovatto said, was just part of why he was excited to be part of the project.
“I’m a big Dateline guy,” he confessed. “Any true crime whatever, like, I'll sit down and watch it. So when I heard about , I was like, ‘Dude, I think I've heard about this before.’” Zovatto noted that as an actress herself, Kendrick really understood the “rhythms of it all,” and was aware of when he might “need his space “while filming. “She was really respectful,” he said. “It felt like a really good set to be around.” He added that Kendrick, overall, did a “great job” behind the camera, which he credits to her decades of experience working in Hollywood.
