In a conversation with MediaVillage, Skyler says she was lucky that there were 18 movies that she could look back on as worked on the new film.
“The opportunity of getting to kind of reinvent and reimagine this beloved character in her earlier years was really fun, and a new creative challenge I haven’t gotten to do before. It was an exciting job to take on and it’s been a joy,” she shared.
Skyler went on, saying that watching “some of the original Aurora movies and kind of honing what I thought were her character staples. I was sort of thinking, ‘Okay, what are these little building blocks that are central to the character?’”
“You don’t want to do an imitation, but you also don’t want to bring in someone who is nothing like the person you’re meant to be playing. Just little quirks, or tendencies, and things like a certain way she might talk or move, or some of the dynamics in her relationships,” she says. “I sort of cherry-picked a few of the things that felt most essential to her, and then the fun was sort of reverse engineering that into what a younger version of her might be.”
While Skyler turned to the previous movies for references, she also tried to make the character her own as well.”
