Everything was just unwinding of the hands, and the fingers are so long, and slow movements to fast movements. I would always ask, "Am I popping up really fast? Is this a slow raise?" There were different moments where I'm crouched in a ball, and it's like, "Do you want me to roll up through my spine? Do you want me to stand up?" A cat just all of a sudden stands, already upright. Certain scenes, though, David had very specific moments he wanted to capture. How specifically choreographed does it have to be, versus just getting into the character and playing a villain?Īlicia Vela-Bailey: It wasn't specifically choreographed. We were just weaving in and out of different movements and ways this character can move and how quick and how supernatural the movements would be. Because of my dance and gymnastics background, I could do these weird movements, because we'd go fully one way and then he'd be like, "Oh, I like this part, but maybe not so much this," so we'd turn it around.
I had a lot of fun with it.ĭid you get to add your own interpretation of how Diana would move, or was that something David clearly had mapped out in his head going into Lights Out?Īlicia Vela-Bailey: He definitely had an idea, but I don't think he really knew exactly how it would look and if someone could move that way. I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is so creepy." I love horror movies, so I love just trying to help create the mood and to be able to bring this character to life.
When David first showed me the character, just when she was in the artwork stage, I was just so excited. What was it like for you to step into the role of Diana?Īlicia Vela-Bailey: It was so much fun. Sandberg’s Lights Out, you are more than well aware that a huge reason why the film’s scares are so effective is due to Alicia Vela-Bailey, who portrays Diana, the supernatural entity that has an aversion to the light and will stop at nothing to destroy anyone she comes across.ĭaily Dead recently spoke with the stuntwoman-turned-actress at a press event about her experiences working on Lights Out, collaborating with Sandberg on her character, and more.
