Mia Goth, known for her roles in Ti West's X and its sequel MaXXXine, is no stranger to the intense preparation that often goes into character creation for films. One preparation method for her roles includes getting a life cast head mold. The process, as captivating as it may sound, involved having plaster evenly spread across her face. Fans will see Goth's real-life experience reflected in one standout scene in MaXXXine.
The Life Cast Journey
Goth's journey of making life casts began quite early. In one of her interviews, she reflected upon her first encounter with life casting during the filming of X. Her character, Pearl, required an ‘old age' look for which she had to make a life cast. According to Goth, her emotional state on that day greatly influenced her experience; she recalled not having any issues with the procedure. Following the success in X, Goth has had further life cast experiences in preparation for other films.
More Life Cast Experiences
She underwent the same process for MaXXXine, where she needed to get a life cast made for a particular scene. Recalling her life cast experience for MaXXXine, Goth had positive words to share. She found the process therapeutic, comparing it to “a little hug.”
However, not all of her life casting experiences were pleasant. One particular stressful session was for Marvel's Blade, where she is rumored to be interpreting the character of the villainess, Lilith. The casting session for Blade was done prior to her work in MaXXXine.
Goth recalls feeling exhausted and a bit hungry during the Blade casting. She even had to take a break and rip off the cast just to rejuvenate and sip some tea. Interestingly, the Blade film doesn't yet have a production start date, but Goth's mold was ready even before she started her work on MaXXXine.
A Digital Twist
In Guillermo del Toro's version of the iconic Frankenstein movie, set to begin its production phase, a slight twist was introduced to the life casting process. Instead of plaster molding, Goth had to undergo a digital body scan. Expressing her thoughts on the change in procedure, Goth felt a tad bittersweet about the technological advancement. She still holds a preference for the traditional mold over its digital counterpart.
What Does Future Hold For Goth's Characters?
As fans, the excitement is twofold: we are not just anticipating the output these films will provide but also the ultimate appearance of Goth's characters resulting from these life casts and body scans. Though unknown at present who Goth will be portraying in Frankenstein, it is expected to be as captivating as her previous roles.
In conclusion, Mia Goth takes us on her journey of life casting – her real-life experiences shaping the ‘life-like' scenes in her films. Whether you're a fan of Goth or excited about the upcoming Blade and Frankenstein movies, you have more than one reason to follow these films. It's not just about the stories the movies will tell but also the hidden tales of character creation that add an extra layer of fascination.
