WHALEFALL cast discusses fears

    by 🏅 Teresa: Austin Abrams

    Austin Abrams admits to being superstitious about railroad tracks, forcing his children to lift their feet when crossing them. He also names a phobia of blood draws as something impossible to avoid. Josh Brolin describes becoming nauseous after climbing just two or three steps on a ladder due to his fear of heights. That same terror kept him from entering theaters until the trailer for Zemeckis's movie with Gordon Levitt, The Walk, finished playing. Author Daniel Kraus and director Brian Duffield joined the cast in this Pop Base discussion about personal fears surrounding WHALEFALL. While Duffield claims he is fearless, he notes that people frequently ask him about ghosts.
