Could Meryl Streep become the next icon of horror cinema? This is what the American director and screenwriter JT Mollner wishes, who currently courts the actress openly via the social network X.
“I wrote a script for Meryl Streep. It is a role of creaky and passionate horror, as she has never played. It is our greatest living actress, so I know that it is unlikely, but it would be really cool if she accepted, “writes the screenwriter of The Long Walknew film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel expected on our screens next month.
JT Mollner drew the attention of terror fans with Strange Darling, A feature film praised by the criticism he wrote and made in 2023. If this fact of arms brings a certain legitimacy to his approach, some Internet users preferred to make fun of his choice of platform to try to seduce the 76-year-old actress.
“It greatly helped me for similar things in the past. You would be surprised, ”replied JT Mollner.
Throughout her illustrious career, Meryl Streep has sometimes rubbed out for (light) horrific accents, but never fully kissing the genre.
