Interview: Drew Goddard and Kristen Connolly
Talk Scream Queens, the Logistics of Blood and Doing Things in Their
Underwear for ‘Cabin in the Woods’ Features By Kevin Carr on April 11,
2012 | Be the First To Comment What can be said about a movie that
you’re not supposed to talk about? A lot, apparently. Recently, Kristen
Connolly, star of the new genre-bending horror film Cabin in the Woods
sat down with us to talk about her role in the film and the production
in general. She also let us in on a few secrets about her earlier career
in soap operas and what she wears to cook eggs in the morning. At
Kristen’s side was director Drew Goddard to throw in his two cents about
how the rumor mill has been treating his movie and why he doesn’t like
movie trailers or even posters. And there’s blood. Lots and lots of
blood. Is there more to the character of Dana than just a scream queen?
Kristen Connolly: Oh, absolutely. In this movie, you get to play every
kind of scene. There’s funny scenes. There’s scenes that break my heart a
little to watch. There’s just so much that’s happening in it, so many
real human things. I think that’s something that’s really special about
the movie. The characters feel very real. And it’s a genre where that’s
not always the case. But these are people that you really care about.
Did you like playing an archetype? KC: I really didn’t think of it as an
archetype. I don’t think any of us did. We really just focused on - and
Drew said this from the beginning for all of us – that we’re a group of
friends. They love each other, and they’re placed in this kind of
extraordinary situation. But it’s not about playing the archetype
because Drew really does that for us. The costumes do that for us. The
writing does that. And the audience’s knowledge of these movies does
that. Your opening scene features you packing for the trip in your
underwear with all the windows wide open. KC: Oh yeah, yeah.
