Hope you’re ready to see a lot more of Grace Van Dien. She already had quite a bit of experience before playing Chrissy, but when you book a show like Stranger Things, your star is bound to soar, and soar it did — big time. While Chrissy is highly unlikely to return in Stranger Things 5, Van Dien is keeping mighty busy elsewhere with a slew of other upcoming projects, including her new feature film Roost directed by Amy Redford.
The movie is an adaption of Scott Organ’s play and stars Van Dien as Anna, a teenager who falls for a man (Kyle Gallner) in his late 20s that she meets online. Anna is shocked when suddenly, one day, he shows up at her door. But, little does she know, that’s only one alarming piece of a very complicated and concerning scenario.
With Roost celebrating its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, Redford and Van Dien visited the Collider Supper Suite and Media Studio at Marbl to discuss their experience bringing this story to screen.
