Villains: Jeffrey Donovan, Robert Olsen and Dan Berk Interview
One of the many films to world premiere at this year’s SXSW was co-writer/directors Robert Olsen and Dan Berk’s Villains. The dark comedy thriller stars Bill Skarsgård and Maika Monroe as two amateur criminals who break into a house after a gas station robbery looking for a getaway car. As they explore the house, they stumble upon a dark secret that the mysterious homeowners (Jeffrey Donovan and Kyra Sedgwick) want to prevent from getting out.
Shortly after seeing the film, Jeffrey Donovan, Robert Olsen and Dan Berk stopped by the Collider studio at SXSW. They talked about what the film is about, how Berk and Olsen started collaborating, the biggest disagreement Berk and Olsen had on set, how the directors put together the cast and what drew Donovan to the script, why the film is set in one location, how that affected Donovan’s performance, and more.
