Strange Darling's Willa Fitzgerald on Tackling the Film's Intensity

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for movies that push the boundaries of storytelling, I can confidently say that I am eagerly anticipating the release of Strange Darling. Having witnessed Willa Fitzgerald‘s versatile acting skills in various genres, I am intrigued by her latest role that requires a delicate balance of mania, charm, and fear.


Willa Fitzgerald has proven her acting prowess in projects such as “Scream: The TV Series”, “The Goldfinch”, and Amazon Prime’s “Reacher”. These diverse roles demanded nuanced and subtle portrayals, and in her upcoming film “Strange Darling”, Fitzgerald delivers a multifaceted performance. Balancing mania, charm, and fear, she keeps viewers on edge throughout the movie’s duration. Like her character, who encounters shocking situations, Fitzgerald found the quick shooting schedule of “Strange Darling” beneficial as it prevented her from overthinking her decisions. The film is set to hit theaters on August 23rd.

When Fitzgerald first encountered the script, he felt an overwhelming excitement and a strong desire to perform it. However, he was also apprehensive given the script’s complexity. He believes this anxiety is what preparation is for. He arrived on set ready to dive in, saying, “Let’s go.”

In the film titled “Strange Darling“, appearances can be deceiving as a sinister one-night stand leads to a chilling series of murders orchestrated by a ruthless killer. The movie is written and directed by JT Mollner, who has previously worked on “Outlaws & Angels“. The star-studded cast includes Willa Fitzgerald from “The Goldfinch, Reacher“, Kyle Gallner of “Smile, Dinner in America“, Ed Begley Jr. known for his roles in “Better Call Saul, A Mighty Wind“, and Barbara Hershey, recognized from her work in “Black Swan, Insidious“.

1) The movie’s storyline is fragmented and moves between various time periods, leaving viewers on their toes due to its unconventional structure and surprising plot twists. When asked about her initial thoughts on the script, Fitzgerald shared her perspective.

The actor stated that he was completely taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated it and wasn’t entirely sure what he was witnessing at first. His reaction was something like, “What?” It was thrilling for him to delve into the character and plot development while preparing the film and during filming, as he worked to grasp where we were in the story and how we were progressing, and to portray it all authentically.

Strange Darling lands in theaters on August 23rd.
