The Bride Cast SCREAMS to Avoid Each Other s Interview Questions Spilling the E Tea

I think we should all do a screen though. I'll do it. I will. I definitely will. You will? I will if you will. Yeah. Let's do it. But like by yourself. We need it. Sound. I know that. Sound. Get ready. Sound. We have these papers with the questions that we're supposed to be asking as we spill the E.T. As we already did. It's all over the thing. But yeah, but this group is a little disobedient, so we'll see how it goes. You're supposed to start. I'm starting. Um. Ah! The film is about creating monsters and crafting identities. What's a past role of yours that has changed the way you see yourself? I think Frank is one of the least monstrous characters that I've ever created. He's so human and I just want to give him a hug. He's very innocent despite all of the child murders that he committed when he was a giant man child with the worst parent, you know, ever. He's become someone who's just craving love desperately and finds the most amazing, you know, electric, authentic and sincere person that he ever could have hoped for, you know. But yeah, no, I've created way worse monsters than this. I mean, I guess a motorcycle would start with. Ah! Penelope. No. Penelope, you've been dying to talk. That question was not for me. Mine is for you because I'm done. He's going to leave in a minute. I'm done for the whole thing. I'm walking out any second now. Okay. So you've already created one of the most iconic movie voices as Batman. What influenced the Frank voice? A total frustration of having to sit through the hours for prosthetics inspired a lot of that. I mean, I was meant to be, you know, bigger than I am, a bigger man than I am, so we should have a deeper voice anyway. Look, it's already helped just with the screaming, right? You can hear it's helped my voice a little bit. So doing that every day was really helpful. It's just liberating. It feels wonderful. Let's all do that again at the end. For Christian and his hair and makeup team, screaming was actually the key to his transformation into Frankenstein for this retelling of the famous monster and his wife's story, The Bride. I'm the same, born from the dead. So it started at like, you know, with the body, six hours, and then got down to like two and a half, three hours by the end. But they had to be so patient in their back safety and everything like that. So they, if I ever started drifting off without screaming, they all said to me, oh, no, no, no. Let's all scream. And we all screamed. They needed it. They needed it as a release completely. And then I needed it for my voice as well. And then by the end, lots of you were joining in and lots of the crew were joining in. It was wonderful. It was a really lovely unified moment, you know? No, that's what we wanted. What we wanted was for you to feel like a real person that you could see on the street. Like this actually had happened to this man. And it ended up fantastic because you were assisting on that. And that's why you felt like you could give old Frankie boy a little hug. I love Frankie boy. Even though he's a murderer. I love, I mean, you're a master of making a mask, you know. Not many people can do that. Well, what's that saying? Put on a mask and you show your true self. Some people. Not all people. Not everybody. You always say that question. What do you mean? It's true. It's your real self, isn't it? Underneath. We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. Have you ever seen the mask? We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. I love that one so much. That wraps that up then, doesn't it? If we promise to scream at the end, post it. The Bride. What's a part of a physical transformation you enjoyed or felt most proud of? Well, I had one, like, dress. One look. Yeah. That kind of got done as we went through the story and got kind of dissolved and wilder and marked by what's happened to her and how we've had to run around the world. I mean, like, the costumes are everything. That's the beginning, you know, where you really step into it and figure out who these people are. And the same with the wigs and the makeup. Coming up with those ways of making the same look feel different, real, beautiful, I think is probably harder. In some ways harder than costuming an entire movie with tons of different props. Well, I think you actually get to get detail of the character. You had all these amazing writings on your jacket and paintings of what Frank might have done in the cave. There's just so many wonderful details like that that you never see. I have a question. The Bride loves to dance, Penelope. What's your hidden talent, strange hobby or secret obsession? Well, I don't know if it's my hidden talent, but it's my passion. I've danced since I was four years old. I've danced for 18 years of my life. I've been able to dance in a couple of movies. And then we had a choreography that was going to be in the film. It's going to be its own film. Hopefully it will be in some behind the scenes situation. Behind the scenes? It's its own film. The one that we hope will inspire like a sequel. We were training together in New York in our studio and we took it really seriously. And we had a great time. It doesn't matter if no one ever sees it. You did ballet and your sister did flamenco, right? Yeah. How do you remember that? You told me years back in Catalonia. Yes. She's actually a professional flamenco dancer. There are a lot of good dancers in this table. He's an amazing dancer. You dance. What kind of dance? You dance. I started actually ballet when I was a kid. But I took ballet because I was a soccer player. And there was a football player, an American football player named Tony Dorset. And I learned that he did ballet to increase his balance as an athlete. So I started doing it for that reason. And then it turned out I really liked it. I actually was rubbish at dancing when I was a kid. In Ireland, you all have to do Irish dancing. And you have to like keep your hands in by your side, which can you imagine? It was like a disaster for me. But I loved dancing on big. No, that tap dance Frank does at the beginning when he's in the... I love that so much. That was our first few days. And our first day of shooting where we danced, which is also on the film. Where they're dancing across the map, which was... Maybe there's a reason that got cut. Maybe it wasn't that good. And I love the way you sing in the movie. I love his singing in the movie. It's like, oh yeah, that guy, that movie star from... Who's a proper singer? She's a proper singer. Proper singer. It's quite humbling when you find yourself singing next to a proper singer and you didn't realize that you were a proper singer. It's so funny, you guys, because everybody thinks we're lying that this movie is not a musical. And it obviously isn't a musical, but it sure sounds like it is from the conversation we're having. The punk rock spin on The Bride of Frankenstein in theaters this Friday is actually kind of like Bonnie and Clyde meets Poor Things. Christian Bale and 2026 Oscar nominee Jesse Buckley are undead outlaw lovers on the run. The movie is also a family affair for director Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her brother Jake and husband Peter Sarsgaard also star. The Bride brings explosive energy everywhere she goes, including her proposal. So playing on that theme, for whoever can share, spill the E.T., what was the most chaotic, funny, or unhinged thing that happened at your wedding or proposal? I know it feels like you're really... Yeah, of course. Perfect. But the teeth! I know! I know, I know. That's why they put me... Brother, you didn't. I mean, I was at your wedding. I could say. I was at your... For those who don't know, these two are married. So I was... And I'm, you know, now both are brothers, but I was at your wedding. One of the most beautiful things that happened at your wedding was that, you know, I like to think that when it's right, you can kind of feel the angels coming down. And I could... There was an opening where you were both dancing in the place you got married, just open to the sky. And there was that incredible band that was playing above and then walked down. Zimbaria. Yeah, and walked down, and then everyone started dancing. Yeah, yeah. That was... That I felt like. Maybe it was a bit unhinged, because I think anything good is, like, it's something unhinged, and then the angels, I could definitely see them come down. The truth is that this whole thing started with Peter. Because it is... Nice one, Peter! It is actually an epic love story. It is. It's like a beyond time kind of love story. And I wouldn't have known anything about that if it weren't for her. I'm gonna say it. I'm saying it. The power of saying no is a major point for the bride. What's your personal version of I would prefer not to these days? I don't want to do what you tell me. Yes. Right? Yeah. I like I would prefer not to. Could we have said that about doing this interview? I would prefer not to. I tried. If we had just said that, could we not be here right now? Yes. Would that have worked? This should have been the first question, then we would just stand up and walk out. I think they'd say, I prefer you do, and then you'd say, I prefer I don't, and you'd just keep going back and forth. We could do the scream again. I'd take one more. God.
