The Witch' was intended to be a horror movie.
I think 'The Witch' was actually my 100th job. Only took me 100 jobs to get a lead! But it did change things a lot. It was a magical thing for Rob Eggers to pick me out of the all the actors he could have for that part. It was an amazing part. It's changed my career massively.
'The Witch' is feminist.
American audiences, a lot of people couldn't understand a word of 'The Witch.'
The Witch' was very well planned, but 'The Lighthouse' was so much more so.
I would definitely agree that 'The Witch' doesn't leave much of anything to the imagination. There are some ambiguities about 'The Witch,' for sure, but all in all, it's pretty clear what's going on.
So we didn't have any stars for 'The Witch.' A24 felt they needed something special for marketing, and they wanted to have the Satanic Temple endorse the film.
I've talked about this a lot, but 'The Witch' took four years to finance because there were certain compromises I wouldn't make.
