I was doing weird movements because we were just like going 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. Because of my dance and gymnastics background – I’m sure they have a video of my audition somewhere – I was doing backbends and crawling on my hands. Yeah, he definitely had an idea but I don’t think he really knew exactly how it would look on a human body or if someone could move that way. So it was fun.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? I was like, oh, that’s what it looks like. So it’s more of just what I feel like so seeing it was really cool. There was a point where I was like, oh… But also when I’m doing the movements and stuff, I don’t see myself you know. Were you actually scared by your own performance? And then with the music and everything all combined together, it’s just creepy. It looks totally different in the film sometimes than on-set. There are certain scenes where I forgot about, and I even jumped. I love all that eeriness and just trying to help create the mood and bring the character to life. When David first showed me the character and the artwork, I was so excited. What was it like for you to step into the role of Diana in LIGHT’S OUT? Rarely do we see actors in a role like Diana, it’s oftentimes CG. Alicia will next appear in the horror sequel ANNABELLE 2, also directed by Sandberg, so it looks like Alicia may become a major force in the world of horror. The actress/stunt woman has worked in everything from BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE to DIVERGENT, as well as a ton of genre features. Recently, a small group of journalist had the pleasure of sitting down with the LIGHTS OUT star to talk about the movie’s impressive opening – especially considering the budget – and working with the first time feature film director. However, when called for, she can easily take on a frightening persona. In fact, the stunt woman/actress is beautiful, bright and charmingly funny. Alicia is far from the monstrous and creepy presence who lurked in the shadows terrorizing Teresa Palmer. Lights Out originally ran longer and had another ending where Diana returns, which rendered Sophie's sacrifice pointless test audiences hated this epilogue, so it was trimmed to the current version.Sitting across from the lovely Alicia Vela-Bailey, you’d never expect her to be the woman behind ‘Diana’ in the new horror thriller LIGHTS OUT, from David F. Some read the unfortunate subtext that Sophie "freed" her family from the burden of her depression by taking her own life, but Sandberg - who has suffered from depression himself - quickly stated this wasn't the message at all. The ending of Lights Out sees Sophie realize Diana is linked to the world through her, so to save her children she commits suicide. Sandberg intended to portray Diana as an embodiment of Sophie's depression, though the film's ending accidentally proved controversial in this regard. While light scares her off, towards the end of the film she can be seen via black light as a thin woman with horrible skin burns. Lights Out reveals Diana's motive is to kill anybody seeking to get Sophie treatment, which includes her children. In death, Diana's spirit tethered herself to Sophie and has been with her since childhood, and later caused the death of her husband when he tried to get her help.
