[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforPalm Springs.] Cristin Miliotiwould prefer it if you didn’t read this very spoiler-y interview until after you watchPalm Springs. In fact, when she and I spoke via phone, two weeks before the film was set to premiere on Hulu, she confessed that she was having a hard time talking about it. “I even get nervous knowing that it will be out there at all,” she said. “Obviously, in an ideal world, you wouldn’t ever be able to find anything out about the spoilers, because then everyone seeing it would always go in knowing nothing, which is I think the best way to see it....

If you haven’tseen the trailer, or thefirst five minutes of the movie,Moonfalltells the story of an unlikely team of individuals (Halle Berry,John Bradley, andPatrick Wilson) who are tasked with saving the Earth when the moon is knocked off its orbit by a mysterious force and comes hurtling towards earth....

Perhaps it’s because the originalScreamis my second favorite movie of all time, but I can’t imagine a more exciting opportunity than directing a new installment of that franchise. Pre-Scream, the filmmaking collective,Radio Silence, was widely known for its downright brilliant blend of horror and dark comedy in 2019’sReady or Not.
