Yeah, I shoot that this summer,' he told me. 'I play this really villainous, horrible knight, who really has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, which is kinda fun.' Hauer-King added, 'I've been getting to know her over the last year or so, and she's got such an amazing, creative mind and brain—again, people say this a lot—but has genuine individual vision. If you've seen The Love Witch, you know. She has such a particular visual style and type of storytelling.' Noting that cinematographer M. David Mullen will shoot the film on 35mm, the actor raved, 'It's the first time I've done that, so I'm very excited.'
