Why Jake Lacy took on the role of the real predator Robert Berchtold

Besides research, “nothing prepared” Lacy like the meeting Hendrix Yanceywho plays young Ian (McKenna Grace depicts the elder Jan). As he said: “Seeing the light and the joy and the enthusiasm in her and immediately realizing that’s what Jan has and still has when you meet her — she still has that effervescence — that’s what Robert Berchtold is in so many ways , prey”.

Naturally, Lacey did not want to get lost in Berchtold’s thoughts. “When I, Jake, think about it, my brain shuts down and I feel sick and I don’t want to go there,” he said. “And if that’s what I’m bringing to my sense of that character, then I’m missing the story because that character didn’t have any of those feelings. This character treats it like the only thing he wants in the world. sometimes it is replaced emotionally or mentally.

And in other cases, “it’s just knowing how the camera works,” Lacey added. “Like, if you tilt your head down and stare too long, it’s a eerie what needs to be done — and the camera reads it as such.”
