What barbarian trailer of teases, the film opens with Georgina Campbell’s Tess trying to break into her Airbnb before learning that the house has been booked twice by a mystery character played by Bill Skarsgård. For many horror fans, who have known the actor well playing Pennywise recently THIS IS movie , there is an immediate instinct to not trust any character played by Skarsgård, especially if you put him in another movie like that. Without ruining the trip barbarianthere is an unintentional Stephen King joke about Pennywise in the next horror movie .
Gossipify spoke with barbarianWriter / director Zach Cregger about casting Bill Skarsgård at the climax of the horror film and whether it was intentional to tease a bit about his iconic Pennywise role, especially at a time when his character tells Tess that “he’s not a monster”. In my theater, horror fans have certainly laughed at the delivery of the joke. In Cregger’s words:
I actually didn’t think of it as a joke until the first time we screened it in front of an audience and everyone laughed, I was like “Oh yeah, I guess that’s pretty funny”. I mean, Bill was the perfect cast for that because he has a great history with the audience, the horror audience knows him, you know, and they expect something from him. So as soon as he opens this door, everyone says “Oh!” You know? And that’s exactly what you want.
While Bill Skarsgård may seem to deny he’s a maniac barbarian it’s a funny nod to hers THIS IS character, second barbarianThe director, he and his team have neither thought about nor joked about the joke on set. The actor is so associated with the role of Stephen King’s villain that fans of the genre will find themselves not only questioning his character’s intentions, but also getting nervous knowing what he’s capable of frightening audiences with.
While the joke wasn’t intentional, once Cregger realized he could play a comedic role in the film, he was pleasantly surprised at how “funny” it was and how Skårsgard’s story with the audience could also work to your advantage in the movie. story itself.
It’s best if you don’t know much about it barbarian before you see it. What the preview shows is just the beginning of the terrors Tess faces after double booking on Airbnb. We can tell you that the film also stars Justin Long, who he also spoke with Gossipify during San Diego Comic-Con after our release guest a barbarian screening of delegates .
Until now, barbarian received generally positive reviews from its audience, including from Night of the Living Dead director Edgar Wright, who called it a “twisted film”. Twitter . barbarian will be released in theaters on 9 September and tickets are already on sale.
