- You're gonna see sides of her in this series

and having her go through the typical teenage experience

in trying to avoid making her every other human

And I hope that that that care translates.

and this is how I became Wednesday Adams.

I first heard about the role of Wednesday

shooting a horror film with A24 called "X"

and I got an email one day that Tim Burton

and wanted to meet with me for the role of Wednesday Adams.

I didn't know if he had any familiarity with who I was

I actually was compared to my entire life.

So it was just kind of a weird circumstance.

I kind of felt like I was being pranked or something.

and I don't think people can tell when I'm being serious

And I didn't think it was that bad until we were on set,

sometimes and Tim might say, "Oh, that was dark."

I didn't consider it until we were shooting

or when I started having conversations with Netflix

I think that's when it really started to settle in.

People tattoo this character on their bodies.

She's been a consistent Halloween costume for years.

I still lay awake at night staring up the ceiling thinking,

And it's been done so flawlessly in the past.

you want to do justice to someone like her

and there's a lot of anticipation and and expectation

And I think that I had to go to work every day

and remember, it's a Netflix show, you know.

Christina didn't join the shoot 'til towards the end.

we never talked about her being Wednesday once.

I think maybe one time on the last week of shooting

But I think that we both were able to appreciate the fact

and I didn't wanna be doing some impression of her.

And I think it was really important that we just kept our,

it's funny I think my posture has improved immensely

'Cause I always made sure I had a straight back.

I didn't move my hands or arms much if I didn't have to.

At some point during the first couple weeks of shooting,

I did a take where I did not blink at all.

And Tim said, I don't want you to blink anymore.

I think something like that is not blinking.

and I trust his opinion so much because he's, Tim Burton.
