- Welcome to our shenanigans here
at the MTV suite at Comic-Con, guys.
Congratulations on your film,
which has just gotten a new title, actually.
As of two weeks ago, it was called something else,
so, unveil this horrific title on us.
What's the pronunciation?
- It is The Curse of La Llorona.
- La Llorona
- La Llorona, actually, guys, why don't you kill it.
- (laughs) La Llorona
- Llorona
- [Josh] So, and, educate me-- - What they said.
(group laughs)
- [Josh] Exactly, I'm with you with that.
- The double L is really a Y, so that's all you gotta--
- Right, right, it's screwing up in my brain.
- And you gotta roll the R.
- Ya gotta roll your R's guys,
that's what you always gotta do.
So, educate me on this, this is like,
a legend that has a lineage.
This is something that is based in
folklore, right? - Yeah, it's been around
for hundreds of years, you know basically,
and if you grew up Hispanic, you've definitely heard
it from your family, more than likely your abuela.
You know, it's like your grandma
would tell it to you, and she'd say like,
you know, you'd better be good,
or La Llorona is gonna come and get you.
- Got it.
- And it's a terrifying story.
It's about, you know, it's hundreds of years old,
it's about this woman who, you know,
in this jealous rage, she grabs her
two young boys and drowns them in the river,
and then is, like, cursed to walk the earth
for all eternity.
So it's a really dark tale, and especially,
like, for grandmas to tell grandkids about.
It's like, you know, it's chilling.
- Amazing, and it has a good home here
at Comic-Con in San Diego, where we love
all things genre of all types, and uh,
have you shown some footage, yet?
Have you been able to--
- Yeah, we showed three clips last night,
and it was awesome, it played really really well.
I'm really proud of 'em, I think, you know,
we're all really proud of the movie
and the clips that we played.
It was awesome, the audience was like
covering their eyes, and--
- That's what you want. - Screamed, we heard screams.
(group laughs) - Yeah, literal screams.
- So, what is it like for you guys,
'cause I assume this is probably
some of the first footage you're getting to see of the film,
and especially on a tale told in this genre,
there's a big difference between
being on the set of something like this,
and seeing the finished product,
with the music and the sound queues and everything.
What was it like? - Well it was frightening
you know, on set. - Was it? (laughs)
- It was frightening on screen.
Yeah, it's a very scary movie,
so I think the audience is gonna love it.
- It's just very real, I mean, even
though it's a period piece...
It's interesting because it's the 70's,
but for me, that's when I heard the most
about La Llorona, because that's when I was a kid.
So, it brings you right back to
that feeling you had when you were little,
and your grandma would tell you,
you better behave otherwise La Llorona's
gonna come get you.
- Yeah, and there was no internet,
there was no, again, it was word of mouth.
And you heard the story, it was passed down
from generation to generation,
and it was this horror story about this woman,
and if you didn't behave,
then you were gonna fall victim to her.
- It still is, I mean, for adults
you never stop believing in La Llorona, never.
- That stuff that gets instilled in you as a kid
- Yes - You can't break that.
Right? - No
You think you can
work through it - And just when you think
you can, a movie like this - in therapy, and all that
- Comes around, and really puts it right back into you.
(group laughs)
So, k, thanks for that. (laughs)
- You're welcome.
- What about for you, Linda, is this your bag,
have you, is a horror, like what kind of
audience member are you for a horror film?
- I used to love it, like, I was
crazy about horror movies, and I remember thinking
Freddy Kruger was the scariest thing I had ever seen.
I just loved, loved horror movies.
And then when I had a child, something like,
people said that would happen.
Like, oh when you're pregnant,
you won't wanna, and it literally happened to me.
So I'm just started watching them again.
- So this is therapy, making it is part of the--
- I love 'em, I love the excitement of it,
I get really caught up in it, I love haunted houses,
I love going to all those, like, scary, haunted
Universal Studios, or Knotts Scary Farm, I love that stuff.
So, I'm back at it now.
(group laughs)
- Rooting for it - Yeah, yeah
So, yeah the last one I saw was
I saw A Quiet Place, which was great, so.
- Pretty great, right.
- But I have a habit of hitting the people next to me,
- Okay, so be warned so poor guy next to me
got beaten. (group laughs)
- The bruises on the arm. - Yeah
- Yeah, he was like "I got hit by Linda Cardellini".
(group laughs)
- For you, this is your feature directing debut, right?
- Yeah, this is my first movie,
and before this, I've just done commercials.
And I did this one short called The Maiden,
and New Line saw that and, it was just,
honestly there were so many similarities
between the short and the script that they'd
been developing, and, you know,
it was really just an awesome fit.
- Amazing. And fun for you guys
to be on the set of somebody that's,
you know, there's nothing like
your first time making a movie,
and that kind of energy and excitement,
and, um, was that palpable on set (mumbles)?
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, absolutely.
He's a great guy, he's a nice person,
he's really creative, I mean, the movie looks wonderful,
and he treated us all with respect.
We all had such a great time working on the movie,
even though it was hard work, and really long hours,
and not a giant budget, so we were working
really hard, but there's like, no better,
more excited person, so, it's been really fun.
- I remember at the first day,
we got in to take some photos,
we got out of the makeup trailer,
and he goes "Let's go. Run!"
(laughing)
Okay, he goes "take the picture!"
"Let's run back!" Let's run back.
(laughing)
- You know, I thought it was a little strange,
I'm like this guy's in love with La Llorona.
(group laughs)
For us, that's weird. - That's what you want
- You wanna distance yourself - from your director
for something like this. - From her
He's embracing her, wholeheartedly.
- He's on the wrong side, maybe.
Well, for this film maybe it's the right side.
(group laughing)
- No, I'm definitely best behind the camera.
I mean, honestly, these guys were amazing.
They made the movie.
You know, of course we always talk about how scary it is,
you wouldn't buy any of that, you wouldn't believe it,
you wouldn't be emotionally invested, if it wasn't for them.
And they brought so much humanity
and just amazing characters to it.
I mean, they really killed it.
- What is the ultimate goal with seeing
an audience go through something like this?
Is it to see them rattled, and kind of
shaking, walking out of the theater?
These kinds of films can do something
that no other kind of film can do.
- You know what's amazing is, like,
when you get a really good scare,
there's almost always this like ripple
of like, laughter, which is - right,
to diffuse the tension, right? - yeah, right afterwards.
It's like, everyone gets scared,
and then it's like this shared laughter,
which like, no ones really even conscious of,
'cause no one really talks about like...
They talk about oh I was so scared in the movie...
They are not realizing how much they're laughing,
and they're not, and it's just out of this
kind of, shared nervousness, which is just exquisite.
It's like, so fun to see, and like,
I think it's just that whole kind of range of emotions.
It's really fun to experience.
- Nice. So we're obviously here in
San Diego Comic-Con, so I can't let
Linda go without a question.
- Sure
- How's Laura Barton doing, did she survive the (muffled)?
- I can't tell you anything about that.
(group laughing)
But it's very exciting, I mean,
those movies are gigantic.
- So what was your perspective Infinity War?
Like, did you go in knowing anything,
or were you like the rest of us, sort of like--
- No, you know very little, they let out very little.
And sometimes even the things you think you know,
they change, so it's always exciting.
I mean, we did the whole Marvel
Ten Year Anniversary shoot, and it was like
everywhere you looked, was the most
incredible actor that you were a fan of,
so it was really really fun, and they're so kind to me,
and it's just like, it's fun to be a part of that world.
- So if I'm a betting man, am I gonna see more of you?
There's one more of these giant Avengers movies
that seemingly, will have, hopefully every
character under the sun in it.
- Right, right, that's a possibility.
- What do you think?
- I don't know, you never know until you see it.
You know, you never know! (Josh laughing)
- I think audiences are expecting you
to be in it, and they're gonna demand it.
So, that's what I would say. - Well, there you go.
The people demand it, maybe she'll be there.
(group laughs)
- I'm demanding it.
I wanna know what - I'm demanding it
Also, what happened to Hawkeye?
- There's was so much, I mean,
my god, there was like an internet fuhrer
over Hawkeye, so the Barton family needs some love.
- Yeah, well...
- Okay (group laughs)
- I can't say anything! - Okay, okay.
- I don't want to get in trouble.
- No, no, I got it (group laughs)
It's all good, it's all good.
- Marvel has a lot more - He was trying to get it
out of you too. - Money than I do.
I don't wanna get busted. (group laughs)
- Let's talk about, finally, to say
congratulations on your movie,
which does have a release date,
remind me, it is, oh April 19th, next year, right?
- Yes, April 19th.
- April 19th. - Yes.
- Congratulations, you're still, I guess,
knee-deep in the edit, making this as scary as possible?
- Yeah, we're right at the finish.
We're just a couple months away,
we're uh, it's looking great.
- Great, well congratulations already on the early response,
and enjoy the rest of your Comic-Con
guys, thanks for stopping by.
- [Group] Thank you.
- Thanks for having us. - Thanks guys.
