Cate shared her thoughts on how she landed this intriguing cameo, elaborating on the process and whether she might reprise the role in future endeavors.
“Given its status as a cult classic and the fact that they were filming in L.A., the details were tightly controlled. I received a few storyboards and had to [learn to] master the game quickly. Extensive practice was essential, as I was aware of four or five setups they planned to shoot. I knew exactly what they required from each shot, and then I was handed the sides. It turned out to be one of the more enigmatic roles I’ve tackled,” Cate disclosed in an interview with Variety.
So, is Cate interested in starring in a USA-based reboot of Squid Game?
Cate enthusiastically responded, “I am completely open to any possibilities. In a fantastical world so beautifully crafted, I would certainly consider it. The creators are exceptional world-builders, and this series has captivated audiences globally. I genuinely believe there isn’t a corner of the earth untouched by its influence in some form.”
Regarding the speculation surrounding a potential David Fincher-led reboot, she mentioned, “I would absolutely love to collaborate with David again; it’s been quite some time. However, I must clarify that I am not privy to any more information than you are. I’m not trying to be elusive; I genuinely don’t know.” The two previously teamed up on the critically acclaimed film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
