Director Tyler MacIntyre Reveals Insights on ‘Night Swim’s’ Story and Cast
“It’s a Wonderful Knife is a spin on the classic It’s a Wonderful Life,” MacIntyre went on to explain the plot, as reported by EW. But instead of the lead figuring out his good deeds over the years, we have Winnie finding out how many deaths she prevented. Widdop, who has played Laura on Yellowjackets, was eyed by the director for the role of Winnie. The director says that he “loved that cast, loved that show, and thought [Widdop’s] character was a great comic relief but also had a lot of heart. They were on my list of younger performers to consider when we were trying to find Winnie and they just did an amazing read.”
Upon asking about what would Jimmy Stewart think of the high body count in a movie that was inspired by his classic comedy-drama, MacIntyre shared, “I love Jimmy Stewart. He’s my template for a very empathetic performer. Nobody is as nice in real life as Jimmy Stewart is in my mind. I can’t really even imagine him disliking something, let alone our movie.”
In addition to Widdop, the cast includes but is not limited to Jess McLeod, Joel McHale, and Justin Long. The film is directed by MacIntyre and written by Michael Kennedy. It’s a Wonderful Knife is all set to have its world premiere at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles on October 8, 2023. The film will arrive in theaters on November 10.
