How a 30-Year-Old Mastermind Fooled an Entire High School Into Thinking He Was a Teen—And What It Means for Trust in the Digital Age
For a movie that’s about going back in time, everybody associated with this film has had to go back in time in some form. It’s been a weird reconnection with their former selves.
Alan Cumming lip-syncs his performance, and it’s pretty seamless, but I wondered how you directed him. Did you have him mimic Brandon’s facial expressions or body language?
So, there was no video for Alan to see because Brandon’s stipulation was that no video be recorded — it was only an audio recording. There is, obviously, old footage of Brandon from when he was doing TV shows back in the day, so that was made available to Alan. He certainly took a look at it, but I don’t think it necessarily massively informed his performance.
