‘Death of a Unicorn’ Cast Discusses Key Question at SXSW Festival

Highlights from SXSW: Cast of Death of a Unicorn Share Their Thoughts

Greetings from the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, where the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival is in full swing! This year’s event showcases a diverse range of films, including the highly anticipated *Death of a Unicorn* from A24.

Engaging the Cast on the Red Carpet

During our time on the red carpet, we had the unique opportunity to engage with the film’s cast through some whimsical and thought-provoking questions. One particular query stood out: if you were to inadvertently collide with a mythical creature while driving, which one would you feel most remorseful about harming? The responses varied from genuine concern to playful banter, painting a lively picture of the cast’s personalities.

Humorous and Heartfelt Responses

Paul Rudd and his co-star Anthony Carrigan both leaned into humor when approaching the question, with Carrigan notably expressing concern for mermaids. He amusingly pondered what a mermaid would be doing in the road in the first place. This sentiment was echoed by Richard E. Grant, who whimsically noted he would be upset because he has two mermaids residing in his backyard, although he left us curious without further explanation.

In contrast, Will Poulter and Sunita Mani brought a more serious tone to their replies. Poulter recounted a distressing experience in which he accidentally hit a bunny, leading him to choose the Easter Bunny as the mythological being he would least want to harm. Téa Leoni, his on-screen mother, also shared her reaction, highlighting a more lighthearted perspective. She expressed an unusual thrill at the idea of accidentally hitting the Tooth Fairy, showcasing the playful dynamics among the cast.

The Range of Reactions

This question elicited a diverse array of responses, highlighting not only the cast’s comedic timing but also their unique ability to connect with audiences through humor. Each member displayed their distinctive charm, making the interactions a memorable experience. If I were the Tooth Fairy, I think I might be quite wary of Leoni’s enthusiastic response!
