But Regency satire of manners isn’t the only genre she loves, as a love of comic books naturally developed into a love of cinematic universes and their superheroes. She has been passionate about all manner of storytelling since being exposed to Jane Austen and BBC adaptations of her work all at once. As a graduate of Columbia University in New York City, Tatiana studied theater and comparative literature. In the interviews she conducts for Screen Rant, she seeks to learn what drives each creative mind and how different experiences influence the same narrative. Tatiana Hullender is a writer at Screen Rant, focusing on film and television, as well as a co-host of several podcasts.
I didn't think it could get better than that, but it did. I remember on Zombies 2 being like, "Dang, their costumes are so cool." And now on Zombies 3 with the aliens, their costumes are insane. Milo Manheim: If I had to be something else, I've always been super envious of the werewolf style. If you were switching it up, how would you switch it up? Meg Donnelly: I know you're a zombie, but. I would definitely want to be a zombie - or a mermaid!Īddison had a little like of being aware of, and that was really fun. I would love to have all of Eliza's wardrobe, and be Bonzo and Zed. Me myself, I would love to be a zombie, to be honest. In games and stuff, I always start off like, "I don't even care, whatever." And then when we're in it, I'm like, "Ahh!"Īddison does not yet know her place, but if you were deciding for her from all of the collections of species we have in Seabrook, where would you place her? Meg Donnelly: Bars! Yeah, I agree with too.
I'm always just trying to better myself, and I feel like my only competition has got to be myself. It's serious! Games are serious.īut I also compete with myself. I just want it to be fair I don't like it when people don't play by the rules. Like a lot of people, I get very competitive. And not a video gamer, but playing games. What are some things in life that you are very competitive with? The spirit of competition takes over much of Seabrook in this film. Meg Donnelly: I definitely could not have done it without. And I can say that I could not have done it without Meg. We have an amazing huge cast, but not everybody has been there since the beginning. It's been such a crazy journey, and one that most people don't really get to experience. We're family, and we've been in this for six years together. They saw that, and they were like, "We need to try these two out." And I'm so happy that they did, because now Meg is my best friend. But we had a connection, because we were talking to each other in the lobby in the waiting room. We were reading with other people I was reading with different Addisons, she was reading with different Zeds. Me and Meg, when we auditioned for this, we were paired up with different people. When we watched the first movie, and we watch the third one, we've come so far. We've been talking about this a lot today, because it's so true. Can you talk about how you have grown together as scene partners? You two put me through the wringer in this film. But, we'll see! You gotta watch the movie to find out. That's sort of the primary thing on Zed's mind during this movie, but when he interviews with the scout, things kind of go crazy and he has to dig himself out of a little hole. So, the stakes are really high when it comes to getting into college. But he wants to be with Addison, and she's going to college - and if he doesn't get in, that could possibly mean the ending of the relationship. Milo Manheim: Look, Zed obviously wants to get into college because he would be the first monster to ever attend, which is a huge feat. How far is he willing to take that dream?
Speaking of college, Zed is desperate to be the exceptional zombie that gets to go first. Maybe it's like, "Is this where I belong? I don't know." It definitely is a very big topic of discussion, and I know everyone's curious as to why she has the white hair, because they never answered that. When we start, Addison is very content with Zed and doing cheerleading she's gearing up for the big competition, and she's going to college.īut then when the aliens come, it opens another door for her yet again - just like the werewolves. I think it's one of the things that we touch on in this third film. How important is that in this third film? Screen Rant: Addison has been on a journey to discover who she is and where she belongs all this time.
