Alfre Woodard has explained why changing her character's gender makes sense for the new Salem's Lot adaptation.
Screen Rant recently had the opportunity to interview Alfre Woodard about her role in Salem's Lot. She shared that she had"been told" that the role of Dr. Cody was originally written for a man, but she was"excited" to receive the role and began thinking about the character in the context of the movie being set in 1975.
In her mind, the character's late husband - who she met while studying at Bates - worked in forestry. She continued to practice in small Maine towns because"she gets to practice there in a way that she doesn't get to practice... somewhere else on the East Coast," which explains her presence in the titular town as the vampiric menace descends upon it during the timeline of the movie's story.
Obviously, I'm a woman, but you don't have to change the role. I knew it was written - even this time out - for a man, and I knew because I had been told and had talked about it and seen the expressions of what Dr. Cody originally was asked to do and to be. So, I was excited when I got it that it was a different direction for me as a woman.
