Ben Affleck has described the rehearsal process behind Animals in an October 9 interview with Netflix. The director and star says the cast spent several weeks rehearsing in the actual house used for filming, helping establish how characters would move and interact before the shoot. The thriller follows Los Angeles

mayoral candidate Mark Kimball and his wife Abigail after a caller claims to have kidnapped their son. Affleck and Kerry Washington play the couple, with Steven Yeun and Gillian Anderson among those drawn into the crisis. Affleck explains that the house needed to express contradictions in the characters’ wealth and

public image. He also discusses the city’s mix of communities and languages, and his aim to let the cast contribute to character details he could not supply alone. The production interview adds a specific account of how the film was made, from casting Adriana Paz to developing the actors’ shared space. It accompanies

the completed thriller, which is now streaming on Netflix. Read the original source. Image: Netflix.
