Rebecca Hall ON THE RISE!
THE STAR’S INTRIGUING NEW ROLE WILL MAKE YOU JUMP
If atmospheric thrillers – with a killer twist at the end – are your bag, you shouldn’t miss Resurrection, starring British actress Rebecca Hall. She plays mother-on-the-edge Margaret who will do absolutely anything to protect her teenage daughter Abbie (Grace Kaufman) from stalker David (a creepy Tim Roth), with whom Margaret shares a traumatic past.
“This is an epic thriller, quite bold and out there in parts, but it was Margaret’s complexity and the opportunity to work with Tim Roth that had me signing on,” Hall, 40, tells WHO via Zoom from her home in upstate New York. “She’s a damaged woman, but she’s no victim.”
The part allows Hall to showcase her incredible range, which has also been utilised in films over the past two decades including Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Iron Man 3 (2013) and Godzilla vs Kong (2021).
What makes Margaret such an interesting character to play for you?
I think it was a combination of things. She’s a big character. She’s like the ultimate mother, protector, lioness and the film actually does almost feel mythical. She’s so strong and powerful, but becomes rapidly destabilised when someone from her past – David, played by Tim Roth – reappears in her life. There’s a real complexity to Margaret, the story is epic and the real truth is I actually thought the whole thing was completely bonkers!
So was it fun to play mad Margaret?
I should be clear, I don’t
