Jonathan Groff is well-known for his stint on Broadway and for lending his voice to Kristoff in the Disney Frozen movies, but he has also more than proven his mettle in much darker roles, including this time with Ben Aldridge in the amazing Netflix series Mindhunter (Fleabag, Spoiler Alert). In addition to Dave Bautista and Rupert Grint, the two also star in Knock at the Cabin, the most recent psychological horror from Academy Award winner M. Night Shyamalan.
Groff and Aldridge play Eric and Andrew, a couple taking their daughter Wen (Kristen Cui) on a family vacation in the book-to-screen adaption. They spend their time in their remote cottage on a lake, acting goofy and singing songs together as a close-knit group, yet all they cherish could be lost in a moment. Their carefree holiday turns into a nightmare when Leonard (Bautista), a stranger, approaches Wen.
Leonard is accompanied by three others armed with weapons, with a message for Eric and AndrewGroff and Aldridge spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about the film while promoting Knock at the Cabin. In their interview, Groff and Aldridge talk about portraying a gay couple as openly gay actors and how Shyamalan “deftly” handles the LGBT tale with “family is universal” as its main subject. Aldridge becomes introspective about Nostradamus and Revelations as they discuss why they believe the end-of-the-world plot element has such a stranglehold on society.
They discuss working with director M. Night Shyamalan, his painstaking storyboarding, his unique vision, and the difficulties of “humanizing and connecting.
