Rob Letterman and Hilary Winston are taking their R.L. Stine-based hit show in a new direction with Goosebumps: The Vanishing. Letterman, whose history with the franchise goes back to directing the 2015 Jack Black-led movie adaptation of the horror novels, co-developed the show with Nicholas Stoller, whose filmography ranges from helming the fan-favorite comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall to co-creating and directing the acclaimed Apple TV+ comedy show Platonic.
In honor of the show's return, ScreenRant interviewed Rob Letterman and Hilary Winston to discuss Goosebumps: The Vanishing, why they elected to move away from the season 1 cliffhanger ending in favor of an anthology story, how they landed on Stay Out of the Basement to be the main throughline of the new season, why they thought Schwimmer was the perfect choice to lead the new cast of characters, and how they found the rest of the ensemble.
Stay Out Of The Basement Became The Vanishing's Basis For A Few Key Reasons "...I think anybody who read as a kid, that stuck in their head..." I'd love to hear how you came up with the throughline for this season. It's a similar sort of formula of teen kids discovering this past haunted event, but I'd love to hear about landing specifically on this one, especially since Stay Out of the Basement is the big throughline for the whole season.
Rob Letterman: I think it's a bit of a mix. It's getting easier and easier, because we have this pattern that works so well for us. But once we had Stay Out of the Basement and that side of New York that nobody really sees that much, then it was really figuring out the characters.
Hilary Winston: And dramatic. Seeing him in some really dramatic scenes and just being like,"Wow, he dominated half-hour comedy, but he could have just easily been George Clooney on ER at the same time." Rob Letterman: It was a big audition process. Hilary can speak to it, but we craft the characters, make some fake sides, basically, and audition a ton of people.
We have to give up some of the stuff that's in our head, because, for a true collaboration, somebody comes in, like Galilea, who plays Frankie, and she had a lot of ideas of, like,"I'm feeling like Frankie wants to be this." So, we really adjusted her wardrobe, and we changed what her room looked like, because the character started to change as Galilea became Frankie.
