See the film’s trailer below.The on-screen mother and daughter turned out to be fast friends in real life, as Ortega recently explained to Fandango.“Obviously joining a sequel to something and it being so long since the original, I think I just wanted to put my head down and do the work and show up and be respectful and read my little book book off to the side,” Ortega said,.“But I think Winona was so warm and so welcoming, as was Catherine [O’Hara], as was everybody else, that you almost didn’t have a choice but to become a part of the family, which I’m so grateful for because I think that in shooting and working together and Tim’s playful spirit, I felt like everything that we were doing felt like we were all in on the same joke or on the same page or had the same ideas.”“It just felt like a free and collaborative space, but Winona and I — I swear we just started talking one day on set and then never stopped,” she continued.
