The actor reveals that an instantly meme-able moment in 'Kraven' was performed quite differently on set: 'It was a silent scream.'
, Nivola signed on to play Attila Miller just days into 2020’s pandemic. At the time, production was still expected to begin three weeks later, but as we can all attest, those best-laid plans quickly turned into three years. Thus, Nivola became one of only a few holdovers from Corbet’s 2020 cast, as Adrien Brody then took over the lead role of Attila’s cousin, László Toth.
“The way I performed it was totally silent. It was a silent scream. When I did it, everybody laughed on set. It was so weird, but they all loved it. We kept referring to it as the ‘silent scream moment,’” Nivola reveals. “So I kept asking J.C. during the edit if the silent scream was still in the cut, and he said, ‘Yeah, of course. We would never lose the silent scream.
So many productions shoot in Budapest now; it’s almost like another Atlanta. There are so many experienced, well-functioning crews there, and it didn’t feel rushed. Of course, there were days where he was under the cosh, but that happens on any movie where the director really cares and isn’t willing to pull the plug until they get the shots they need. But it was civilized. Every day, a guy picked me up in a nice car from my hotel in Budapest.
So that is present in their final scene when Attila sends him away, and it’s really devastating to Attila. I was crying in that scene, but you can’t see my goddamn face because Brady was doing his arty-farty thing by having me completely in darkness. So it’s emotionally painful for Attila to send him away, but as far as he knows, László, in his arrogance, just shat on this commission that Attila had brought them.
