THE MONKEY Interview | The Cast's Favorite Deaths & '80s Inspirations | IMDb

#TheMonkey stars #TatianaMaslany ("She-Hulk") and #TheoJames ("The White Lotus"), plus their director Osgood Perkins ('Longlegs') sit down with IMDb to discuss how Perkins's tongue-in-cheek adaptation of the Stephen King short story sets the tone for the film, why James and Maslany vibe with that sick sense of humor, and which of the many Rube Goldbergian death scenes is their favorite. The cast and filmmaker also go deep on inspirations for the films, from 'Death Becomes Her' and 'Gremlins' to '80s Tom Hanks serving as the model for one of the two twins that Theo James plays.
