I wasn’t aware of Melody’s grandmother having any connection to the original and didn’t necessarily build that into her backstory.ĭid they build that ghost town in Bulgaria specifically for you guys? Or did they repurpose an existing backlot? Is her grandmother supposed to be someone from the original film? Melody mentioned that her grandmother was from that part of Texas. They could make it the next Joshua Tree or something. My understanding was that Melody was successful, young and cool, and she wanted people to come to this cool town and help her revitalize it. I actually read an article in the New York Times recently about someone who did that, but I guess that seemed unrealistic. But it went through a lot of iterations such as, “Was a young entrepreneur who bought this town?” And that is a thing that happens. And their goal was to work with a bank to bring other hipsters and cool, young businesses to this town so they’d want to invest and stay there. So the thing that they landed on was that Dante, my business partner, and I had this food truck and were influencers in that way. So it changed a lot, in shooting, in rewrites, in editing. So how much backstory do you have for your character? How did she end up in a position to help gentrify a ghost town? But it was an interesting time to be in Bulgaria while all of this was happening. So then they brought in David Blue Garcia, who’s from Austin, Texas, and that’s cool because he really understood the vibe there. And obviously, I wasn’t involved in any of the changing process there. So I loved working with them and getting to know them. They’re Irish, and they’re just incredible guys. The original directors, the Tohill brothers, were amazing. Looking back, was there any silver lining to this unfortunate situation? There was a director change early on in production as David Blue Garcia took over for Andy and Ryan Tohill. We were doing a direct sequel to that, and they felt it should be the freshest thing in my brain. I’m scared of everything, everywhere, so I was just told to watch the original. Once you were cast, did you watch The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)? How deep did you dive into the franchise?
And when I was out of town shooting Texas Chainsaw Massacre, he was like, “Can we have him background?” And I was like, “Of course, we can!” So he’s a star. My friend was watching him while he was working on the show Kindred. My dog is named Finley, and he’s actually famous. This was the first time you’ve received top billing, right?īy the way, what’s your dog’s name? The readers will most certainly want to know. I was like, “Thank god.” So that was the most unusual thing, and then we went to Bulgaria.

I was just losing my mind and thinking, “Did I get this huge thing? Am I going to get to do this movie or not?” And then June rolled around and I got the call. So I totally went crazy and got a dog and lived in a yurt in Santa Cruz. Well, I first auditioned on February 28th, 2020, and when I was told I got the role, the director sat me down and said everything I had ever wanted to hear in my whole life. So was there anything unusual about the casting process? Then she reflects on Happy Death Day 2U and comments on a potential third chapter. In a recent conversation with THR, Yarkin also discusses her worst fears including her childhood bogeyman. The conversation between Elsie and I was a little bit longer in the rehearsals, but I loved just the speed of it. I obviously knew what was coming because I shot it, but when I was watching it, I was shocked. And actually, the end is my favorite part of the whole movie. “I was like, ‘I get to be like a little Sigourney Weaver.’ So it felt really cool holding the chainsaw and doing stunt work with the stunt coordinator. “So the action hero stuff was exciting because most of the movie is me running and crying or running and hiding,” Yarkins shares. Now that Texas Chainsaw Massacre has been released and is ranked atop Netflix’s Top 10 Movies chart in the U.S., Yarkin is offering her thoughts on the gut punch of an ending. I was just losing my mind and thinking, ‘Did I get this huge thing? Am I going to get to do this movie or not?’ And then June rolled around and I got the call. “So I totally went crazy and got a dog and lived in a yurt in Santa Cruz.
