It was fun to be able to see her role reversal, her maturity as a character.

We didn’t know what we were getting into.
Everybody was kind of sniffing each other out.
I’m just trying to find the right tools and toys and make a fun movie.

But her charisma is immediate, and her talent is extraordinary, and we hit it off right away.

You mentioned Charles Cyphers.
Was he surprised to get the call from you?I think so.
We did a Zoom.
I was just checking in on him and seeing if we could tempt him to come back as Brackett.
He was living peacefully in New Mexico without a lot of professional ambition.
He was in the middle of the newGhostbustersmovie, which I can’t wait to see.
I just felt like Anthony had the right essence of nostalgia.
He’s ready to end this.
I don’t know what to say to that.
I think there are probably things our radars are picking up on creatively that our conscious lives are not.
Halloween Killsis in theaters and streaming on Peacock now.
Watch the trailer for it above.
