Description
Tanya Moodie spoke to HeyUGuys at the European Premiere of Clayface at Curzon Mayfair, London, and declared herself “not a gritty girl” while stepping into Gotham’s grittiest corner. The actress, who has also ventured into the Lord of the Rings universe, laughed off the idea of a five-year career plan and explained how she describes the film to anyone unfamiliar with DC: she simply says Gotham. She also called it, technically, a villain origin story about an actor whose bad decisions follow a traumatic turn.
Interviews for Clayface at the European Premiere at Curzon Mayfair. The film stars Tom Rhys Harries, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Max Minghella, Eddie Marsan, Nancy Carroll and Joshua James, it was written by Mike Flanagan and Hossein Amini and directed by James Watkins. Colin Hart and Abigail Shii ask the questions.
Plot: Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is cut short when a local crime boss's actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team, Matt seeks out a cutting-edge treatment that miraculously restores him, but it also warps his grip on reality and sends him spiralling into a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.
Clayface will be released on 23rd October 2026.
