‘I Thought It Was A Real Animal’: The Legend Of Ochi Stars Were Floored By The Creatures, And I Had A Big Reaction Too
In the tale titled “The Legend Of Ochi“, Zengel assumes the role of Yuri, a youthful girl who discovers a baby Ochi and vows to reunite it with its kin. Concurrently, Wolfhard portrays Petro, her adoptive sibling, who teams up with their father, played by Willem Dafoe, in a quest to locate Yuri and eliminate the mythical creature. During our conversation earlier this month during the film’s virtual press day, they shared insights about working with the practical creation on set. I inquired whether the enchantment persisted between takes, and Wolfhard recounted how he often encountered a living animal.
