James McAvoy Talks about his character of Paddy and his return to working with Blumhouse in the new featurette for Speak No Evil, opening on September 12th.
Based on the 2022 Danish horror movie, Gæsterne, this September sees the Hollywood remake with Speak No Evil. The film, from Universal Pictures and Blumhouse, will be scaring the pants off the audience on September 12th. James McAvoy leads the cast alongside Mackenzie Davis. Aisling Franciosi. Alix West Lefler. Dan Hough and Scoot McNairy. James Watkins wrote and directed the new version of the movie and recently released a new featurette for it. In It, James McAvoy speaks about returning to work with Blumhouse again and discusses his character of Paddy. Let’s take a look.
PREMISE
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
If you’ve seen the original Danish version, you’ll understand when I say, I hope they kept the ending the same.
DETAILS ABOUT THE FILM
From Blumhouse, the producer of The Black Phone, Get Out and The Invisible Man, comes an intense suspense thriller for our modern age. Starring BAFTA award-winner James McAvoy (Split, Glass) in a riveting performance as the charismatic, alpha-male estate owner whose untrammelled hospitality masks an unspeakable darkness.
Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Halt and Catch Fire). And SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (Argo, A Quiet Place Part II) as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton. Along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes Alix West Lefler ( The Good Nurse, Riverdale), they accept the weekend holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy). His wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi; Game of Thrones, The Fall). And their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).
BEHIND THE CAMERAS
Written for the screen and directed by James Watkins, the writer-director of Eden Lake and the award-winning gothic ghost story The Woman in Black. Speak No Evil is based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne. Written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup. That film earned 11 Danish Film Awards nominations, the Danish equivalent of the Oscars.
Speak No Evil is produced by Jason Blum (Five Nights at Freddy’s, M3GAN) for Blumhouse. And by Paul Ritchie (McMafia, The Ipcress File). It is executive produced by Beatriz Sequeira for Blumhouse, Jacob Jarek and Christian Tafdrup.
Speak No Evil will start speaking to the audience when it opens on September 12th.
