While in San Diego covering all the 2018 Comic-Con festivities, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with director Michael Chaves and actress Patricia Velasquez, who recently collaborated on the upcoming New Line Cinema project, The Curse of La Llorona. Based on the Mexican folklore that has terrorized generations upon generations of naughty children who have grown up in fear of “The Weeping Woman,” La Llorona also co-stars Linda Cardellini, Raymond Cruz, Marisol Ramirez, and Sean Patrick Thomas.
During the interview, Chaves discussed how a previous short film landed him the opportunity to helm The Curse of La Llorona, and Velasquez chatted about some of the powerful themes at play in the project. The duo also dug into the cultural importance of the story of La Llorona, and making sure they got it right for the big screen.
