He's kind of goaded into it and thinks he might be able to save her life if he does this, but he also likes her.
#WHAT IS THE MOVIE I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE ABOUT HOW TO#
He is largely sympathetic, but when you see that scene, a whole new side comes out of him and you're not sure how to feel about this guy.Ĭhad Lindberg: Exactly, exactly. That's the interesting thing about the character. I worked on my stuttering and tried to play it simple. The preparation for that role was I wanted to keep it pure of heart and try to make him as sympathetic as I possibly could, because he is and he isn't sympathetic, at the same time. We started doing the heavy scenes first and we just bonded over those crazy scenes. It was something I had always wanted to do, but to have two weeks to prepare? But once I got on set, it just felt incredibly natural and right.
I mean, I had never played a mentally-challenged man before. Can you talk about the nature of getting ready to play Matthew?Ĭhad Lindberg: Yeah, I was cast like two weeks before we had to go, so, in my mind, it was scary. You only had a few weeks to rehearse and I assume the production schedule wasn't too long. I read that the production was rather rushed. We wanted to honor the original and it was pretty awesome. We had a lot to live up to and we took it very seriously. I had no clue until after I was cast, that this was a remake. I thought, it was an incredibly-written script and then I came home and was looking online, doing my homework, and saw it was a cult phenomenon. Monroe) loved me and then they brought me back a third time and I ended up booking it, still not realized it was a remake. They let me go in and read for Matthew and I got called back.
I read it and thought I was more of a fit for Matthew. My representation wanted me to try out for a different character.
I read this script and, man, it was the sickest thing I had ever read in my entire life. It went out as Day of the Woman, actually, so I was going in for a movie called Day of the Woman. I actually had never heard of it, before I auditioned for it. When you first were approached for this, were you aware of the original movie? Can you talk about the process of becoming this wonderful character, Matthew?Ĭhad Lindberg: Sure. I recently had the chance to speak with Chad Lindberg on the phone about his experiences on the movie and here's what he had to say below. Now, more than 30 years later, a new version of I Spit on Your Grave will hit the shelves on Blu-ray and DVD this February 8.Ĭhad Lindberg plays Matthew in this new I Spit on Your Grave remake, the most unlikely of assailants, a mentally-challenged young man who gets goaded into watching and doing some truly horrible acts. One of the most "non-mainstream" movies out there is the 1978 cult classic I Spit on Your Grave, the tale of a young woman raped and left for dead, who gets bloody vengeance in horrifying ways. It has always been my contention that the best remakes are those where more obscure, non-mainstream movies are re-told for a new audience. Chad Lindberg discusses playing Matthew in the I Spit On Your Grave remake, bonding between the actors on set, meeting Meir Zarchi and much more.
