Trivia[]
- On August 24, 2020 it was revealed that one week prior to the release of The New Mutants, Disney held a virtual press conference for the aforementioned film.[1]
- The cast went onto share at the press conferenced that they experienced some creepy moments on set because unlike most big studio superhero movies that do most of their work on huge sets, The New Mutants was shot entirely on location at Medfield State Hospital, an abandoned psychiatric institute in Massachusetts.[1]
- For Henry Zaga, it was all about the weird smell. “There was something really creepy about the smell that just got into your soul before you thought about it,” he explained. Later in the press conference, he mentioned that it was fascinating but really disturbing to discover the history behind the rooms they shot in. “I remember in the attic that we shot in on the first day, that was a place where somebody had hung themselves, they said,” he shared.[1]
- Alice Braga said that while it was fun as the on-location shoot made it feel a bit like shooting an indie, the atmosphere was unsettling because “[F]ilming at night was kind of scary. I wouldn’t walk by myself. There was no way,” she explained with a laugh.[1]
- Josh Boone jumped in and confirmed that multiple members of the cast had unsettling experiences while on the set, saying, “There were several crew members who had weird experiences there, had to be walked to their car at night because they were scared to walk there by themselves after they’d be in the buildings all day.”[1]
- But it was definitely the groundskeeper who brought the creepiest vibe. “He had some really awful stories to tell us,” said Zaga. Boone made everyone laugh with his recollection of one of his awkward encounters with the groundskeeper: “Yeah, I remember him putting his arm around me and he was like, ‘See that basketball court over there?’ I was like, ‘Yeah?’ He goes, ‘You know, the state made that for little Jimmy when he came here.’ I was like, ‘Oh, they made it for a kid? That’s so sweet!’ And he goes [menacing voice], ‘…He stabbed his family.’ I was like, ‘Oh… that’s, uh, that’s not good.'”[1]
