Sundance Film Festival<\/a>, where Rabbit Trap premiered earlier this year. \u201cObsessive avant-garde musician Daphne (McEwen) toils over reel-to-reel tape machines and oscillators in their cottage while her withdrawn husband, Darcy (Patel), collects field recordings in the nearby woods. Their activities draw the attention of a mysterious young rabbit trapper (an unnerving Jade Croot) who beguiles them, disturbing their fragile peace.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\ufeff<\/p>\n
Speaking with Deadline<\/a>, Chainey said that Rabbit Trap was inspired by a childhood interest in Welsh folklore. Returning to stories of fairies, goblins, and pixies as an adult, \u201cthe throughline I saw was neediness,\u201d he explained. He realized the reason those stories resonated with him as a kid \u201cwas because these creatures in some ways are expressions of that little inner child that doesn\u2019t ever go away. It\u2019s been there since the beginning of mankind, and it\u2019ll be there forever. It\u2019s this inner child, which is conscious and really desperate for love, and to be seen, and to be held, and to have a home, and to be appreciated. And if it doesn\u2019t get what it wants, it has a tantrum, it will blow up, like a child, it\u2019s not just important for them to have attention, it\u2019s life or death for kids. And I think we never lose that.\u201d Rabbit Trap will debut in theaters September 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve read any folk tales, it\u2019s easy to see where Dev Patel goes wrong in the Rabbit…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":145676,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[171,53,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-145675","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115028397260344262","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145675"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145675\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145676"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145675"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
