Shockya.com recently spoken to True Blood star Stephen Moyer about his new film ‘The Caller’ which was directed by Matthew Parkhill and which also stars Twilight actress Rachelle Leferve, is about the story of a woman named Mary (Rachelle Leferve’s character) who has recently been granted a divorce from her abusive husband. Stephen Moyer portrays the role of Mary’s new boyfriend John. After moving into her new apartment, she begins to receive random phone calls from a woman named Rose that she didn’t know before. Rose and Mary begin to form a bond together over their failed relationships, and eventually Rose reveals that she has called Mary from the past. Mary doesn’t believe her and from that point on attempts to avoid Rose’s calls. Eventually, Rose begins taking revenge on Mary for ignoring her and choosing John over her.
Here’s an excerpt when asked about how he got ready for his role as John:
SY: How did you prepare for the role of John?
SM: Well, I sat down with Matthew (the director), and we talked about what John would have done, where he was from, what his life was like, and possibly that there had been some heartache for him, that he probably split up from a relationship, and that he was single. He was hurting from that relationship. This is all off-screen, of course, we don’t see any of this. You kind of prep, with a thought in mind that you try to make the character as real as possible. Sometimes you’ll sit down and write down who those relationships were, and what happened in them. I think what Matthew had managed to do very well is convey (that) Rachelle’s character Mary is in a very difficult place, a very dark spot in her life, with her divorce and what’s going on in the new apartment. So it’s important to sort of put somebody in there who isn’t malevolent or trying to take something from her, and I think that relationship grows very nicely.
