Looking for a movie to kick off the spooky season? The Curse of the Necklace is hitting theaters and VOD just in time for Halloween. From Warner Bros., ESX productions, and director Juan Pablo Arias Muñoz with his sophomore feature, this chilling '60s period movie stars The Black Phone's Madeleine McGraw and M3GAN's Violet McGraw as on-screen sisters who find themselves in the middle of a sinister ghost story.
Henry, I actually want to start with you. What is it like for you to start as a child actor in The Steeler and the Pittsburgh Kid — you thought I was gonna say E.T. , didn't you — and now be the father in movies? You're in a very unique position to have gone through this journey in Hollywood and also to be able to help other child actors that you're working with because you've experienced what they're going through.
VIOLET MCGRAW: It was great working with you, Maddie. I knew she was talented, but I don't know she was that talented. So, it was great getting to work with my sister because she gave me a lot of advice and tips to become a better actress. So, thank you, Maddie! DUCEY: That's a pretty complicated question. It's funny to say that I wrote the movie because this man, JP, has many ideas that are in the movie — our director, fantastic — and my wife, who's my script development executive, has a lot of ideas that are in the movie. Ali had a lot of ideas — none of them are in the movie, but he has a lot of ideas. No, that's not true. This came up at a dinner.
ARCHER ANDERSON: For me, it was probably getting all the stabs in your back scene. All the blood running down your back — that's terrible, but also fun.CHRISTINA MOORE: I just want everybody to know that takes, like, seven hours to put a pregnant tummy on you and it weighs, like, I don't know, 20 pounds.
ROMA MAFFIA: I was easy. I didn't have to do anything like that. I didn't have to do any blood except for my eyeballs, so that was it. I had it off easy. Oh! I did get stabbed. I forgot, I got stabbed. I did, I got stabbed.MAFFIA: You were very good. LIND: I think it would be nice if people did not remember me for saying terrible things to children. They loved it. You're Demonoid, and you're Homunculus, and they loved it!LIND: I love you. JUAN PABLO ARIAS MUÑOZ: I think it's how much fun we had and how much of a family we became on set. The movie is really creepy and really dense, and it's eerie, but then we called cut and everyone was having a lot of fun after the shots.
This Was the Trickiest Scene to Get Right in 'The Curse of the Necklace' "There's always an opportunity to make it better." I’ve spoken to a lot of directors and they always talk about how there's always one scene that they're fine-tuning until the very end.
AFSHAR: A big one would be the two Davids that you all stood up for, which was really funny. That was the best thing ever. To get the executives here at Warner Bros. to believe in us, to actually pull a trigger, to say, “Go do this.” Because right now in the way the world is, it's not easy to get a movie greenlit with streaming and theatrical, and this and that. I think our challenge to try to get this off the ground is to get people to trust you.
