Lily Sullivan discusses becoming the next EvilDead badass with a chainsaw on ColliderLadiesNight. 'My friends are gonna think this is sick!'
There is no higher Evil Dead honor than to wield the chainsaw and Boomstick, and Evil Dead Rise star Lily Sullivan certainly makes the most of that opportunity in the new film.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With Evil Dead Rise now playing in theaters nationwide, Sullivan joined me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party chat to recap her journey in the industry thus far from her earliest sets to living up to Bruce Campbell-level expectations as the Evil Dead film franchise's newest chainsaw and shotgun-wielding hero.
“I remember telling the director, because I didn't know how to cry, to tell everyone on set in front of everyone that I am a terrible actor, and he regrets hiring me. And he said it and Toni Collette was like, ‘What are you doing, dude?’ And I was like, [while fake crying] 'No, no, it’s fine. I told him to tell me that.’ And she was like, ‘Oh my god, this kid's got a lot to learn.' And that I did on that film set! Toni Collette is Toni Collette.
“I have now. I found actually the power of breath work really, where you kind of carbonate the inside as opposed to imagining your mom's passed away or something hectic, which I've done a lot of for years. It was actually Evil Dead [that] was a massive contribution to my process changing to exercise all of those intense boundary pushing circumstances that are so extreme.
