We spoke w/ Melissa Barrera about her upcoming film BedRest and how gory Scream6 is.
From writer/director Lori Evans Taylor, the supernatural thriller Bed Rest, which is available to stream at Tubi, follows Julie Rivers , as she learns to embrace impending motherhood in the new home that she’s just moved into with her husband .
So, they sent it to me with this really beautiful presentation. It was bound and with images, and I was like, “Ooh, this is cool.” I read it, and I was weeping at the end. It felt rare to read a script that’s a thriller with hints of horror, that makes you that emotional. I was like, “There’s something really special here.” I always like doing things that feel different in the genre. I was like, “I wanna meet Lori [Evans Taylor], the writer/director, and talk about it.
Are you someone who’s always had that kind of confidence in your own voice, or is that something you’ve developed, the longer you’ve been in this business? BARRERA: It was funny, I had never worn a belly like this one. It was so realistic looking. The weight of it and everything about it felt very real. Even the pressure that it would put on my body made me wanna go to the bathroom all the time. It actually made me feel like I was pregnant. It changed the way that I walked because of the weight of it. It changed the way that I sat. It just helped me get into it.
We also get to see this relationship between Julie and her husband, but so much has happened between them before we even meet them. How did you work out how you wanted that to affect her now and how that would inform their relationship? BARRERA: It was a fun challenge. It was both hard, and it was fun because as the actor that was gonna be in almost every scene of this movie and in bed, I was like, “How am I gonna keep the audience engaged in her journey?” A lot of times, it’s internal because she’s by herself, and she’s not talking to anyone, which is what I had just gone through with Keep Breathing, as well.
Anytime you bring back a franchise and even revamp it a little bit, like you did with Scream, you don’t know how fans are going to react to that. What was it like to see and experience the reaction of the film, and then get to return for a sequel?
