Alice Braga Interview: Hypnotic Was Almost Impossible to Film, That's Why She Said Yes
49With Robert Rodriguez’s latest thriller, Hypnotic, premiering in theaters this weekend, Collider’s Steve Weintraub talked to Alice Braga, who co-stars with Ben Affleck, about the “twists and turns” of this unexpected mystery. They discussed Rodriguez’s filmmaking style, notable for his independent techniques, and the challenges faced during production.
Hypnotic blends genres of noir mystery with sci-fi elements, introducing us to hypnotics, powerful humans who can manipulate reality. When Detective Danny Rourke (Affleck) believes one of these hypnotics may be the key to finding his missing daughter, Rourke enlists the help of another hypnotic, Diana Cruz (Braga), a psychic who can help him track down the mysterious Dellrayne (William Fichtner).
In the interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, Braga discusses what it was like reading the Hypnotic script for the first time, saying she knew “that kind of roller coaster vibe” would be a challenge to put to screen, and explains what it was about the project that convinced her “jump on board.” Braga also talks about Rodriguez’s filmmaking, what she’s working on next with actress, writer, director and producer Brit Marling, Apple TV’s Dark Matter series, and if she’ll be involved with Akiva Goldsman’s I Am Legend 2.
