Director Scott Derrickson revealed that Ethan Hawke brought his own surprising aspect to his TheBlackPhone villain, the Grabber. 'I didn't ask for him to be jacked -- he showed up that way!'😂
The Black Phone director Scott Derrickson reveals the origins behind one surprising aspect of Ethan Hawke's character, The Grabber. Known for his successful contributions to the horror genre, such as Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, this summer saw Derrickson team up with C. Robert Cargill once again to immerse audiences into the terrifying world of The Black Phone.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The 1970s inspired horror-flick sees Hawke star as the serial killer The Grabber, alongside a stand-out young cast including Mason Thames as The Black Phone's lead, Finney Shaw. The film follows Finney as he attempts to escape The Grabber's basement, whereby he is able to contact the spirits of the killer's previous victims through a disconnected phone mounted to the wall.
"I didn't ask for him to be jacked -- he showed up that way! He shaped up that way, and I was like, "Dude, you're in really good shape!" and he said, "Yeah, I don't know if there's any place where you need me to have my shirt off, but if you do, I can." I was like, "As a matter of fact, when we see you with the belt in the kitchen, you should have your shirt off.
Interestingly, despite Hawke's eagerness to bring his new physicality to the role, Derrickson has previously revealed that the actor had some initial hesitations towards playing the Grabber. Hawke said that he doesn't gravitate towards villainous characters, but that upon reading the script, Hawke sent Derrickson a voicemail in his creepy Grabber voice, confirming his involvement with the film.
The kitchen scene that Derrickson discusses is one of the more heart-pounding sequences within The Black Phone, and it's certainly interesting to hear that Hawke's impressive physique was not initially planned for it. With The Black Phone having ended with the satisfying death of Hawke's killer, sequel discussions have left many wondering whether there will be a place for The Grabber to return should a sequel get the green light.
