Likewise, why do we care if Jason or Ghostface takes them out?

PERRI NEMIROFF: I think this movie hinges on your chemistry, so I’ll start there.

There was no camera read.

I’ve heard so much about you.

I’m very excited to work with you.

And I was like, Alright, I’m in.

That’s all it took.

OLIVIA HOLT: It was just a few words.

GOODING: A simple look.

Well, it’s also just that the general atmosphere is one in which I was fully invested.

So, thank you for being lovely inside and out.

HOLT: Thank you.

Someone taking that initiative can mean a lot, especially in a high-pressure environment like that.

GOODING: That’s it!

So whats your answer?

For the past several years, the “Heart Eyes Killer” has wreaked havoc on Valentine’s Day by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine’s Day, no couple is safe.

Such a special moment.

I think that first day solidified it.

I was so happy.

GOODING: That first day was monumental.

I’m gonna build on that now.

It’s all remarkable, and that has always been the case.

You know where this is going.

I want to work at that level.

So, thank you for inspiring me each day.

Movie

HOLT: Thats very sweet.

GOODING: Hell yeah.

Job well done describing that without spoiling anything!

Heart Eyes

GOODING: I know.

Midsummer changed forever after 2019.

I remember going in and being like, Oh, okay.

No matter what, if something goes wrong on the day, youve got it under control.

And things went wrong, and you got it under control.

GOODING: We still had it under control.

I mean, that’s moviemaking for ya!

GOODING: That’s movies, baby!

What Does It Take to Deliver the Perfect Horror Rom-Com Scene?

“A lot of it comes down to comfortability.”

[Laughs] Don’t give me credit until you hear my question!

A lot of times, actors need to either procure a moment or take their time to access it.

Sometimes it takes a little longer than that, and youve just got to be accepting of it.

HOLT: I would agree with you.

We’re starting so many of these scenes in the middle of a hectic moment.

It was the dinner scene.

Josh had easily one of the best moves a director could have thought of.

He was like, Don’t tell each other what it says.

Let’s do the scene again.

And the second I read it, I was like, Oh, I got it.

We went in, we did the rehearsal, and it felt like lightning.
