The Ready or Not Cast Confirm Fake Blood is Delicious
Samara Weaving, Andie MacDowell, and Mark O'Brien make up R-rated versions of children's games and recall their worst wedding experiences.
On August 21, Samara Weaving, Andie MacDowell, and Mark O’Brien will engage in the deadliest game of Hide and Seek ever in Ready or Not, a reverse home-invasion thriller that makes a pretty strong case for singlehood — or, at least, for staying off Tinder until they implement full background checks. In the film, Weaving plays Grace, the young woman who marries into the Le Domas family — a generations-old board game dynasty — only to find herself at the mercy of her new in-laws’ darkest tradition. It’s bloody, it’s cheeky, and it’s poised to be a real genre crowd-pleaser.
Ahead of the film’s release, Weaving, MacDowell, and O’Brien visited the RT studio to chat with editor Jacqueline Coley, describing how they might “horror-ize” other popular children’s games (hint: snakes are more versatile than we realized), recalling their own worst wedding experiences, and talking about the games they played on set — particularly one O’Brien introduced that “makes you want to kill yourself.” Also, Weaving explains why the day she spent covered in blood was the most fun — especially because the fake blood was delicious.
