Drew Goddard Talks Bad Times at the El Royale
73It's been six years since the release of The Cabin in the Woods, but Drew Goddard is finally back behind the lens for a new film, Bad Times at the El Royale. You've seen it, right? If the answer to that question is a "no," you better get on it!
The film takes place at a hotel called the El Royale. It used to be a glamorous hotspot, but now the near-empty location only really attracts those who are just passing through, like vacuum salesman Laramie Seymour Sullivan (Jon Hamm) and a super talented yet undervalued singer named Darlene Sweet (Cynthia Erivo). The stellar ensemble also includes Jeff Bridges, Dakota Johnson, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman and Chris Hemsworth, all playing characters with some wild eccentricities, agendas and secrets that all converge to create one especially explosive night at the El Royale.
I recently had the chance to chat with Goddard about the production. We discussed the choice to shoot on film, the top-secret nature of some of the material, the portions of the film that the cast came up with themselves, and much more!
