Currently available on VOD and arriving in limited theaters this weekend is the wickedly fun and stylish thriller Grand Piano which was directed by Eugenio Mira and stars Elijah Wood, John Cusack, Kerry Bishe, Alex Winter and Don McManus.
Daily Dead recently attended the press day for Grand Piano and had the opportunity to sit down and chat with both Mira and Wood about their collaborative efforts working together on bringing Damien Chazelle’s script to life. Wood also discussed the challenges of performing during several intense piano-playing sequences in Grand Piano and both Mira and Wood offered up their thoughts on the state of modern horror and why we don’t see more ‘grown up’ horror movies like Grand Piano being made these days.
Check out our exclusive video interview below and look for Grand Piano on VOD now and in limited theaters this weekend courtesy of Magnet Releasing.
"Tom Selznick (Wood), the most talented pianist of his generation, who has stopped performing in public because of his stage fright. Years after a catastrophic performance, he reappears in public for a long awaited concert in Chicago. In a packed theater, in front of an expectant audience, Tom finds a message written on the score: “Play one wrong note and you die.” In the sights of an anonymous sniper (Cusack), Tom must get through the most difficult performance of his life and look for help without being detected."
