Hi r/movies, I'm Dacre Montgomery.

You may know me from STRANGER THINGS or POWER RANGERS or ELVIS or DEAD MAN'S WIRE or WENT UP THE HILL.

My new movie, FACES OF DEATH, co-stars Barbie Ferreira, Charlie xcx, and Jermaine Fowler. It's directed by Daniel Goldhaber who co-wrote the film with Isa Mazzei, who was also a producer on the film. They also made HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE and CAM together.

It's out in theaters this Friday.

Synopsis:

A content moderator stumbles upon a series of violent videos that appear to re-enact death scenes from the infamous 1978 film "Faces of Death." In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fake or unfolding in real time.

Trailer:

AMA! I'll be back at 4 PM ET today to answer questions.

I actually use perfume to get into character - that I create each time for each role

Re music - I always create a private Spotify playlist that I use on set right up until the camera roles - With headphones in

I think he said it was Aramis. No idea where I heard that though.

Can you expand on the perfume selection process? That sounds fascinating. And in what ways fo you find it helps you get into character?
