Longlegs Interview: Blair Underwood Didn't Even Need to See a Finished Script

Blair Underwood has worked in film and television for four decades, but this summer marks his horror debut in Longlegs from writer-director Oz Perkins. Underwood plays F.B.I. Agent Carter in the highly-anticipated occult thriller, working alongside Maika Monroe's Agent Lee Harker to stop a Satanic murderer on a killing spree (Nicolas Cage).

An actor whose career has toggled between film and television, Underwood has played law enforcement officials before but never in a world so psychologically chilling as Oz Perkins' Longlegs. Excited by the project and the prospect of working with the son of famed Psycho star Anthony Perkins, Underwood signed on before the screenplay had a proper ending.

In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, Underwood praised Perkins' ability to merge genres and prod audiences before sharing his secret desire to join the family of a long-running horror film franchise. You can watch their full conversation in the video above, or you can read the transcript below.

Seeing Blair in this movie is really giving me flashbacks to when i saw him in the 90s serial killer thriller Just Cause.

Thanks for this. Nice to hear Mr. B. Underwood is talking about is role in LL🎞😱.
I think his character who is also a dad is going to be one of LL victims? I don't hope so, but they way he is talking about 'how much do you want to belief ' 🤔
If his daughter in the movie is also 9 or is going to be🎉🎉🎉
We have to just wait and( see)😱.
Thanks again. 😊

Blair was fab opposite Maika. Can’t believe it’s been that long since he was in LA Law.

Can't wait to see this film this Friday! I already sense I am really going to like the film, I don't know if I will love it (I hope I do) but I don't think I will be left disappointed, that I am positive about. The marketing for this film has been perfect, the trailers are amazing and from the first couple early reviews I can tell that this film is going to be something unforgettable, definitely will leave you thinking about it afterwards for sure.
