Regina Hall, Kelvin Harrison Jr. dish on Sadie Sink and cold-blooded 'O'Dessa'
NEW YORK − "Shut up before I carve out your throat!"
Someone shouting that is sure to, at the very least, grab your attention. In this instance, the threat is made by Regina Hall, who plays Neon Dion in the post-apocalyptic musical "O'Dessa" (streaming Thursday on Hulu).
"That was an ad-lib, actually," says the 54-year-old actress, seated beside her co-star Kelvin Harrison Jr. The film's title role is played by Sadie Sink. "In that moment, (Neon Dion is) not going to say, 'Be quiet.' "
"That's more poetic and cold-blooded than anything that I could have come up with," "O'Dessa" writer and director Geremy Jasper acknowledges. "I like to be flexible, especially with someone like Regina who is very light on their feet, who really embodies the character and has a real improvisational flair."
