Exclusive Interview Insights: Samara Weaving Discusses Her Role, Ray Nicholson Embraces Psychopathy, and Jimmy Warden Reveals a Special Prop From the Film

In the realm of horror films, few actresses demonstrate the same level of loyalty as Samara Weaving. Even as she explores diverse genres and projects, she consistently finds her way back to the thrill of horror. In her latest venture, she collaborates with her husband, Jimmy Warden, who is known for his work on the hit film Cocaine Bear. Their new project, Borderline, revolves around a 90s pop sensation who becomes the target of an obsessive stalker convinced that he is in a romantic relationship with her. While it may not feature the outrageous violence found in a bear on a cocaine-fueled rampage, Borderline captivates audiences with its gripping narrative. Be sure to check out my detailed review HERE.

Engaging with Samara Weaving is always a delightful experience, as she exudes warmth and a genuine passion for the horror genre. In Borderline, her character Sofia is more subdued, allowing her to embody the role of the “straight man” amidst a cast of eccentric characters. The standout performance, however, belongs to Ray Nicholson, whose portrayal of a wildly unhinged individual truly shines. Ray shares his insights on the exciting journey of stepping into such a chaotic character and the inspirations that shaped his performance. Additionally, writer and director Jimmy Warden reveals the intriguing prop he chose to take home from the set, which fans of the film will undoubtedly recognize. Dive into the conversation by watching the video above!

The plot of Borderline unfolds as the twisted directorial debut of Jimmy Warden, the writer behind Cocaine Bear. This heart-pounding thriller follows a dangerously obsessed stalker, portrayed by Ray Nicholson from SMILE 2, who intrudes upon the life of a ‘90s pop icon, played by Samara Weaving from READY OR NOT. With her life hanging in the balance, and with the unwavering support of her devoted bodyguard, she must devise a plan to escape the clutches of her delusional pursuer before he can make his twisted wedding dreams a reality.

BORDERLINE IS NOW SCREENING IN THEATERS AND WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL PURCHASE ON MARCH 14TH, 2025.
