In a conversation with MediaVillage, Skyler says he was lucky that there were 18 movies that he could remember while working on the new film.
“The opportunity to reinvent and reimagine this beloved character in his early years was really fun and a new creative challenge that I hadn’t had to face before. It was exciting work and it has been a pleasure,” she shared.
Skyler went on to say that she was watching “some of the original Aurora movies and honing in on what I thought were the basic elements of her character. She was thinking, ‘Okay, what are these little building blocks that are fundamental to the character?’”
“You don’t want to do an imitation, but you also don’t want to bring in someone who doesn’t look anything like the person you’re supposed to play. “Just little quirks or tendencies, and things like a certain way she might talk or move, or some of the dynamics in her relationships,” she says. “I selected some of the things she considered most essential, and then the fun thing was reverse engineering what a younger version of her could be.”
While Skyler looked to the previous films for references, she also tried to make the character her own.”
“[What’s] The good thing about working backwards is that when Aurora appears in the original films, she is a little more polished and united,” he explains. “She’s good at solving crimes and you know her when she’s in her groove. I thought it would be funny if she just wasn’t good at this, at all! [Then] to see how he discovered that superpower. I think of her as a superhero, but what’s Aurora’s origin story like? What was it that drove you to become insatiably obsessed with murder, mystery, and solving these crimes? “She had to figure that out on the fly.”
“It’s been so fun to go back in time and watch her discover her superpower. It’s not always smooth and it’s certainly not always polished, but it’s really fun.”
The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New will premiere Friday, June 9 on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
