Derrickson says Hawke's voice was the main reason why he knew the actor could take on the sinister role in the horror film.
The film also stars Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Jeremy Davies, James Ransone and Miguel Cazarez Mora, and was written by Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, his frequent collaborator., Derrickson talks about how he discovered the short story, why he chose Hawke to play the Grabber, and how the iconic mask came to be.When did you discover the short story, and what made you want to adapt it?
No, and it’s because of Joe’s short story. It was taking the most grim subject matter imaginable — a sadistic child killer, and its story about the abduction of his sixth victim or whatever it was, and yet the story did two things. It combined a serial killer story with a ghost story in a single location, which I had never seen before. That was very original. But Joe really writes from the point of view of love. He really writes with great empathy for the characters.
The first thing was Ethan’s voice. I think that a lot of actors have voices that are not in and of themselves highly memorable. His voice is really distinctive. I feel like Hollywood hasn’t made enough use of his voice. Why isn’t he the lead in some great animated movie? His voice doesn’t sound like anybody else’s. And it has a high register that he can speak with very easily and a low register that he can speak with very easily and for the Grabber, he uses both and I knew that he would.
