    Hi /r/movies, I’m Dacre Montgomery. You may know me from STRANGER THINGS or POWER RANGERS or ELVIS or DEAD MAN’S WIRE or FACES OF DEATH. AMA!


    Hi r/movies, I'm Dacre Montgomery.

    You may know me from STRANGER THINGS or POWER RANGERS or ELVIS or DEAD MAN'S WIRE or WENT UP THE HILL.

    My new movie, FACES OF DEATH, co-stars Barbie Ferreira, Charlie xcx, and Jermaine Fowler. It's directed by Daniel Goldhaber who co-wrote the film with Isa Mazzei, who was also a producer on the film. They also made HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE and CAM together.

    It's out in theaters this Friday.

    Synopsis:

    A content moderator stumbles upon a series of violent videos that appear to re-enact death scenes from the infamous 1978 film "Faces of Death." In an online world where nothing can be trusted, she must determine whether the violence is fake or unfolding in real time.

    Trailer:

    AMA! I'll be back at 4 PM ET today to answer questions.

      Hi Dacre, I know you’re editing it, but what is something you can tell us about The Engagement Party, and how soon can we expect to watch it? Went Up The Hill was incredible!

    2. dacremontgomerynews on

      ¿What was the most challenging part of working on Faces of Death compared to your previous roles?

    3. AgreeableAd779 on

      Will you continue to make more short films in the future? Guilty Creatures is one of your best acting performances I’ve ever seen and my favorite. I love all your works and excited to see your career grow the way you want.

      Hi Dacre! My name is Flo, I’m a huge fan of your work! I wanted to thank you for how you show your emotions through your roles (especially as Jack in “Went Up The Hill” and as Nick in “The Broken Hearts Gallery”) and through yourself. You make ‘being human’ feel safe.

      I have two questions for you:
      1. Regarding your poetry: is there a specific song or musical piece that deeply inspired your writing process for DKMH?

      2. About Faces of Death: what is the one thing about playing Arthur that stayed with you the most after filming ended?

      Thank you for sharing your art with us!

      In Went Up the Hill, your character goes through a deeply emotional journey but also has to embody the presence of his deceased mother at times. How did you find the balance between maintaining your character’s identity while also conveying a completely different presence?

    6. Uncommentary on

      Hello, thanks for taking questions. Have you personally seen any of the Faces of Death films? That is a hard watch.

    7. Easy_Procedure4216 on

      Do you still write poetry? DKMH gets me through tough moments as someone who also has anxiety and OCD.

      Hi dacre, If Billy had survived, how do you think his relationship with the boys, especially Steve, would have evolved, and how do you think his story would have ended at the end of stranger things?

    10. Giff95 on

      Hi Dacre! I loved you in the Power Rangers movie and feel you and the cast had great chemistry. Do you have favorite stories making it or hopes/wishes for sequels?

      Thank you!

    12. babywv on

      Favorite memory(ies) from your time on Stranger Things? Any scenes you’re particularly proud of? Upcoming projects we should all keep an eye on? Thanks in advance for doing an AMA! ☺️

    13. wolferin on

      Hi Dacre! You’ve played several bad guys, latest in Faces of Death. How does your process in preparing for that kind of roles differ from roles that aren’t like that?

    15. Honest-Barnacle-7240 on

      Hi Dacre,

      Congrats on Faces of Death! I loved your portrayal of Billy in Stranger Things. My question is – When you’re playing such intense, emotionally heavy characters, do you ever find parts of them sticking with you off set, or is it easy to switch back to yourself?

    17. SpyroHinch on

      Hi Dacre! If you could change something about your character in Stranger Things, what would it be?

    18. wolferin on

      Faces of Death will probably be very disturbing for many viewers. What was the most disturbing thing you came across when preparing for your role in it?

    19. Elite-Novus on

      Disappointed we never got a sequel to your power rangers. I actually enjoyed it

    20. darkveder28 on

      Just wanted to say you were incredible in Dead Man’s Wire! Excited to see Faces of Death and other projects on the horizon.

      Would there be any Australian stories you’d want to see made into a film? (The Kurzels have made some excellent projects out of smaller stories!)

      And similarly, what classic fairytale or myth would you want to see adapted for the silver screen?

    22. savannahdolan on

      Do you think actors today have more freedom or more pressure compared to earlier generations?

    23. WowItsMar on

      Hey, my wife and I really loved watching you in Stranger Things and I was a huge fan of the Power Rangers reboot. What type of music do you listen to and do you ever use music as a way to get yourself in the mood or mindset for a scene? I always wondered what the soundtrack of people’s lives would sound like

    24. norvillescooby on

      How do you approach building a regional accent for a character, do you have a specific process or set of tools you rely on?

      And when a role calls for going to a darker emotional place, how do you access that depth in a way that feels both authentic and sustainable as an actor?

      Thanks!

    25. AssociateLittle1487 on

      Hi Dacre, if you watched the final season of Stranger Things, how do you feel about it?

    26. GrimmGrinningGirl on

      I’ve never done one of these before, so I’m not sure if this is a good question.
      But, Whats one question / answer to that question, that you WISH someone would ask you about because you’d love to talk more about it?

    27. missundaztood_ on

      Hi Dacre! I wanted to ask how you felt filming Power Rangers 2017, and if you’d change anything about the film as is. What was the most challenging part of your role?

    28. flightman100 on

      Hi Dacre, amazing performance in Stranger Things! Were you surprised when they asked you to come back for a quick S4 cameo?

    29. This-Combination-691 on

      When you were in the music Video for Make Them Suffer did you get to meet the band?

    30. ambernewt on

      Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

    31. RefrigeratorLazy5989 on

      Hi, love how you played Billy! if he had survived in season 4, what effect do you think the experience would have on his character and his relationship with his sister Max, would love to hear your take !!!

    32. dacremontgomerynews on

      Out of all the characters you’ve portrayed, which one challenged you the most not just technically but personally, and why?

    34. Able_Lie9952 on

      I know a lot of people fan cast you as sooo many Marvel superheros. Is Marvel ever something you think you’d consider if presented the opportunity?
