The idea for the movie actually came from an episode of “The Simpsons.” I'm an Associate Editor on BuzzFeed's Pop Culture team who spends my days fangirling over all my favorite TV shows and movies. So far, it has grossed $148 million worldwide. 🚨Obviously, there are MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Obsession.🚨 “My mum actually helped me design that. She’s a graphic art designer, and I told her I wanted it to look kind of timeless, like it’s from the ’50s or the ’80s, and I wanted it to have this very retro feel, like it’s been around forever and you can’t really pinpoint when it was made," he told Movable Fest. "I think everyone knew that it was the right fit. There was electricity in the air. And I got the call a little later that I got the role. So it wasn’t your typical, I auditioned first, it just came across my desk. I found out later that someone knew someone who threw my name in the hat. I’m gonna give credit to Skyler Zurn [Obsession’s casting director] and she really…they did a big search for this role, so I’m so grateful to be a part of it." Inde explained, “Also, what was cut was the aftermath. Curry wanted to play with the idea of what does a human body do after that sort of smashes, like there’s gurgles come out, so there was gurgles, there was like human sounds that might have been too gruesome for an R rating, so they kind of downsized it.” Inde told The Hollywood Reporter: “The original ending was that I was going to choose that I didn’t want to live that way anymore, after all of the trauma and pain. [At the] last second, they were like, ‘Let’s just try this one thing’, and from other people’s perspective, which is high praise for me, and I really, really appreciate it, they did one take, they felt like it was magical and electric, and they knew that that was the ending."
