Reid late seat down with Screen Rant in anticipation ofThe Invisible Man ’s February 28 premiere . The immature actress explained what drew her to the script , and why she prefers stories with valuable content even if they are harder to act .
What was it the first inspired you to take on the role ?
Storm Reid : I loved the script . I loved that it was not only a genre musical composition , but that it was give relevant conversations and trying to evoke a conversation about what women are going through today . And I plant it very inspirational . Even though the report is heartbreaking , it is also very beautiful . So , I ’m glad to be a part of it .
speak of what women are going through and the trouble that are personify in that , you do work with a slew of really heavy stuff , with both this andEuphoria . How do you occupy that space without letting it kind of bring you down ?
Storm Reid : I think what moves me and what wants me to do more of the tough subject , or to address the tough topics , is because there are things that need to be talked about with Euphoria and with this . But I also have to remind myself that my fibre ’s reality is not my reality . And I have to go back to being Storm and being fun and loving , and being grateful for what surround me and what I ’m a part of .
Cecilia is kind of a female parent figure in some ways to your character . How do you reckon their dynamic ?
Storm Reid : I think Sydney does consider Cecilia as like a mother number or a very confining aunt , because her mammy is not in the picture and this is not the first clip she ’s encountering Cecilia . It breaks her heart that she is going through these things , and she will go to the end of the earth for people that she loves .
But she also does n’t neglect her feelings and how she feels in the site , and she jazz that something ’s not proper . She does n’t have sex if Cecilia is amply telling the truth , but she ’s uncoerced to figure it out and put herself and her life on the argument to be able to do so .
Is it scarier to have to be afraid of what you ca n’t see on stage set ? How do you grapple with not experience where the Invisible Man is ?
Storm Reid : On set ? Not really , because I eff . Yeah , even though I do n’t know - I ’m supposed to not know , but I have sex . But I think the fear of the unidentified in genuine life , or if I was in that situation in genuine life , I ’d be terrified . So , I get why citizenry are frightened .
How does it vary the blocking for you ? Is the player really there , or is there a patch of tape there ?
Storm Reid : Yeah , it just depends . Sometimes there ’s a man in a green case in the corner that we try not to be distracted by . Leigh did a not bad line and the stunt squad and even particular effects . If there was theorize to be the presence of the Invisible Man , they would allow us know where he was in the room , but we just had to act like he was n’t there and we did n’t know because that was theorize to be pass on . It was challenging .
