Tyra Banks Had "Beef" With Horror Film Role
2 Oct
Summary
- Tyra Banks regrets her role in "Halloween: Resurrection" 25 years later.
- Her agent pushed for the role, hoping for a Josh Hartnett-like career.
- Banks was promised an iconic death scene that was ultimately cut.
Supermodel and television personality Tyra Banks has voiced her strong dissatisfaction with her role in the 2002 film "Halloween: Resurrection." Reflecting on the experience approximately 25 years later, Banks stated she does not look back on making the movie with any fondness.
Banks, who is also known for hosting "America's Next Top Model," explained that she took a minor role in the eighth installment of the "Halloween" franchise at the urging of an agent. The agent's goal was to steer her toward an acting career comparable to Josh Hartnett's, who experienced a career upswing after appearing in "Halloween H20" in 1998.
Despite initial reservations, Banks was persuaded to accept the part. Her character, Nora, played a crucial plot element despite limited screen time. The film centered on teenagers trying to survive Michael Myers in his childhood home while their ordeal was streamed online by a producer, portrayed by Banks.
Ultimately, Banks felt the role did not benefit her career as anticipated. She humorously noted her disappointment, stating, "I was promised the career of Josh Hartnett... and promised an iconic death scene that will last forever, and neither of them happened." This led her to declare she has "beef with Halloween 8!"
