We spoke w/ Jonathan Groff & Ben Aldridge about KnockAtTheCabin, MNightShyamalan, and the film's queer representation.
Though well-known for his time on Broadway and providing the vocal talent for Kristoff in Disney’s Frozen films, Jonathan Groff has more than proved his mettle in a much darker role with Netflix’s phenomenal series, Mindhunter, and now again, alongside Ben Aldridge . In addition to Dave Bautista and Rupert Grint, the two star in Academy Award-nominee M. Night Shyamalan’s latest psychological horror, Knock at the Cabin.
GROFF: I came out 15 years ago. And I remember when I came out it was 2009, so whatever that math is… 14 years ago? I remember thinking, “Okay, I'm sort of putting aside any dreams of being in a big Hollywood movie,” because it didn't seem like that would be possible. ALDRIDGE: Well, right now, I guess we've survived a pandemic. We've got the climate crisis being a very present fear factor in our lives. And I think Night is purposefully playing on those fears, the fears that we have as our collective fears as a society. I remember I was obsessed with Apocalypse. And Deep Impact and Armageddon did that for me.ALDRIDGE: I was so obsessed that I looked into the Nostradamus prophecies.
I would imagine with another director, who doesn't have Night's track record, it's hard to do something like that, to really believe in this window that he's trying to shoot in. But when it's someone like Night, is it easier to give yourself over to a process that doesn't allow for a lot of improvisation?
