Primate Interview: Johnny Sequoyah and Troy Kotsur on Their New Horror Movie 🐒 | The Movie Dweeb
The Movie Dweeb sat down with stars Johnny Sequoyah and Troy Kotsur to discuss their pulse-pounding new movie Primate and what it takes to survive a feral chimp attack on screen. Troy Kotsur opens up about his transition from Oscar-winning drama in CODA to becoming a full-blown action hero. He explains how his character’s deafness adds a unique, terrifying layer of suspense to the film, especially when the audience is conditioned to rely on sound cues. Meanwhile, Johnny Sequoyah shares her emotional journey of seeing the film in her hometown cinema and reveals her "Horror Movie Mount Rushmore," featuring four classics that every fan of the genre needs to watch. We also dig into the making of the movie's "silent scares" and why Johnny’s love for animals made filming a creature feature such a surreal experience.
