Samara Weaving returns to Collider Ladies Night!
With Carolina Caroline now in theaters, Samara sits down with Perri Nemiroff for an extensive conversation about the acclaimed crime thriller, building one of the most distinctive careers in modern genre filmmaking, and the lessons she's learned along the way.
During the interview, Weaving reflects on her breakout with The Babysitter, discusses the impact of Home and Away and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri on her career, reveals why she's become far more selective when choosing projects, and explains why she now trusts her instincts more than ever before.
She also opens up about working with Kyle Gallner on Carolina Caroline, fighting for his casting in the film, collaborating with director Adam Rehmeier, making Ready or Not and Ready or Not 2, and whether she'd be interested in returning for a Ready or Not 3.
