Director and co-writer Laura Moss talks to io9 about their Frankenstein-inspired 'reverse Bechdel movie,' coming to theaters August 18.
push the boundaries of what’s possible in real life, but the movie still feels very real despite those elements. How did you go about grounding the story in order to make it so believable?I knew that in order to bring the audience along on this ride, we needed the science and the medicine in the film to feel as grounded as possible.
io9: Celie is a recognizable figure as a mother who will do anything to protect her child. Rose is a little bit more unique as a person. Did you base those characters on anyone in particular? And how much input did actors Judy Reyes and Marin Ireland have in shaping how they came to the screen?Rose is a Dr. Frankenstein, Victor Frankenstein prototype in many ways.
Our actors absolutely brought deep personal experiences to each of these roles. Judy is herself a mother, and I think when she had to experience those scenes of loss, they felt quite personal to her. I know that for Marin, there were people in her life that reminded her of Rose. I don’t want to speak to to her experience—but we spoke at length about her associations, and I encouraged her to go as deeply as she wanted to into those relationships.
