Emily Mortimer Remembers Wes Craven

“I felt like he was a sort of mentor; he promoted me and definitely paved the way.”

Scream 3

Premiere

While promoting her latest horror film, ‘Relic‘, Emily Mortimer reflected on her cinematic beginnings in America, revisiting her roots with Angelina Tyler in ‘Scream 3‘ and the legendary Wes Craven.

“I did this audition, got the job, and it was Wes Craven. I truly owe him a lot. That was before ‘Lovely and Amazing‘, and I’m sure I wouldn’t have landed that role if I hadn’t already been in a movie and done an American accent; you know what I mean?” she shared with Perri Nemiroff from Collider.

“He was a real advocate for me, and I loved working with him. He was the most gentle, intelligent, quietly spoken person, yet possessed such great humor and insight. He was incredibly kind and, for some reason, he really took to me. After working with him on that, I went on to do ‘Paris, je t’aime‘. You know, they made ‘New York, I Love You‘ and ‘Paris, je t’aime‘, a series of shorts by different filmmakers. It was the first one, and he chose me for that project. I did a little short with him, and then filmmakers were invited to dress up their muses as famous movie stars. He dressed me as Audrey Hepburn for The New York Times.”

Back in 2010, during the filming of Scream 4 in Michigan, this iconic image of Neve Campbell took over the internet. Captured between takes of one of the series’ most intense and bloody scenes, it’s a moment etched in horror history.

The elusive photographer, BananaDoc—whose identity remains a mystery to this day—shared these glimpses from the night shoots, feeding fans without ever spoiling the story. Pure class.

Thinking of those days and the friends I made along the way, like John Valeri, Tim Wagstaff, R.J. Torbert, and so many more.
