Talking The Unborn at Comic-Con
«The Unborn» was introduced at Comic-Con by director David Goyer, along with cast members Odette Yustman, Meagan Good, and Cam Gigandet. Goyer also presented an exclusive Comic-Con preliminary preview of the film…
Synopsis
The long clip described the tale of a woman who was supposed to be a twin, but whose sibling died in-utero. This sibling is now haunting her as an adult. The unborn evil child is trying to enter our living world through her, and all means of banishing her, including an attempted exorcism, go horribly wrong. The clip ended with the tag «How do you kill something that was never born.»
Good Guy
Cam Gigandet, in the role of boyfriend Mark Hardigan, said that his character does «whatever it takes…and things end up places.» He said he’s «played a lot of bad guys in my career and this gave me an opportunity to play a different kind of character and he’s a genuine good guy and that interested me right off the bat.»
Physical
Gigandet, speaking on the physicality of their roles, said that he «didn’t realize just how physically demanding it was going to be and once you’re in it and there and everything … it’s physically exhausting….even the locations, you’re just so in it…these were the nastiest locations ever.»
Real
Gigandet agreed with Odette Yustman on the realistic inspiration, saying, «Everything was so real. There was no stretching to find some fear we had. It wasn’t difficult it was all real… real bugs, real eye stuff…real.»
Even some of the stunts felt real to the actors, as Goyer said of one of Gigandet’s scenes «We really pulled him through a wall.» «And it hurt,» said Gigandet.
