In the femme fatale genre, an attractive or seductive woman is often the protagonist. Her goal? To cause distress or disaster to a man who becomes involved with her. This is the underlying subject of the new dark comedy Me You Madness from Louise Linton.
The film stars Louise, where she’s also the screenwriter and director. The second half of this two-hander, Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl, White Gold) plays Tyler Jones, the unfortunate prey of the protagonist.
Officially, the description reads, “ A young thief cases an architectural dream house in Malibu, not realizing it is the home of an eccentric female serial killer.”
In this interview, Louise talks about her influences for the film, what she loves Hollywood fast-speak , and why it’s so important to have a top-notch Assistant Director. Ed talks on the surprising innocence of the film, what attracted him to the role, and gives advice for young actors.
