In an interview with Fox News Digital, Witt opened up about how she believed her late parents had a role in helping her get the opportunity and were there with her along the way.

Nicolas Cage’s serial killer horror Longlegs is currently scaring cinema audiences around the world, but what songs feature on the film’s soundtrack?Cage plays the satanic titular character in Osgood Perkins’ critically acclaimed movie, a serial killer who is thought to be connected to a number of unsolved murders and is being pursued by FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe).Producers of the film were very careful not to release images of Cage’s look in the film ahead of its release – and that applied to his co-stars too. It has been reported that the first time Monroe laid eyes on him in full character, her heart rate leapt to an alarming 170bpm.Similarly, Alicia Witt (Twin Peaks), who plays Harker’s mother in the film, has shared her experience of meeting Cage in character: “I had no idea how scary it was going to be.

Longlegs have spoken about working with Nicolas Cage.The actor recently starred as the film’s titular serial killer, with Maika Monroe acting opposite him as the FBI Agent tasked with hunting him down. Twin Peaks‘ Alicia Witt also stars as Monroe’s mother in the film.Speaking to Metro, Witt said of working with Cage: “I had no idea how scary it was going to be.

Nicolas Cage has said he based his satanic serial killer character in Longlegs on his mother, something he has described as “constructive”.Directed by Osgood Perkins (the son of Anthony Perkins, who played Norman Bates in Psycho), the horror thriller follows FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) who is assigned to a number of unsolved killings across town connected to a mysterious figure known as Longlegs.Cage plays the titular Longlegs, who is joined by other cast members Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Michelle Choi-Lee, Dakota Daulby and Kiernan Shipka.In a recent interview with the New Yorker, the actor revealed that he drew inspiration for the character from the unlikely source of his own mother, Joy Vogelsang.“Not that she was satanic,” he clarified. “But her vocalisations, the way she would move.”He added that there were just a few vocal tics that he recalled from his childhood that were helpful for him when getting into the Longlegs headspace.“She would talk, like, ‘Oooh, Nicky, you looked just like a little bird when you were born’,” he continued.

Longlegs is one of the breakout horror films of this year’s summer season.Directed by Osgood Perkins, the horror thriller follows FBI agent Lee Harker (Maika Monroe) who is assigned to a number of unsolved killings across town connected to a mysterious figure known as Longlegs.Nicolas Cage plays the titular Longlegs, who is joined by other cast members Blair Underwood, Alicia Witt, Michelle Choi-Lee, Dakota Daulby and Kiernan Shipka.After Longlegs mentions her mother before he kills himself, Lee Harker visits her mother Ruth to see if she’s connected to the satanic murders. Lee travels to her house with Agent Browning, who stays in the car while Lee investigates the house.

Jack Dunn Although Alicia Witt is a key player in the mystery of Osgood Perkins’ satanic horror film “Longlegs,” she made sure to steer clear of the screening at Monday night’s premiere. Witt described her time shooting “Longlegs” as “the most cathartic experience” of her life, during which she fully surrendered to her character Ruth Harker, the maniacal mother of Detective Lee Harker (Maika Monroe). Having had to facilitate several unholy killings throughout the film, Witt tapped into the “darkest material” she had ever accessed as an actor to prepare for the role.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched the Season 9, episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired April 12 on Fox. It was “Masked Singer in Space Night,” but “The Masked Singer” could have also been celebrating “’90s Night.” That’s because the two celebrities unmasked on Wednesday’s episodes were both TV stars from that era: Melissa Joan Hart (of “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” fame) and Alicia Witt (“Cybill,” “Mr. Holland’s Opus”). Hart was revealed to be Lamp, while Witt was Dandelion. Witt had won the previous week as Dandelion, but her journey ended here. For Dandelion, panelist Ken Jeong guessed Witt right. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg thought it was Milla Jovovich. Robin Thicke went with Sara Bareilles and Nicole Scherzinger named Zooey Deschanel.
