Sarah Paulson Admits She Wasn’t a Fan of “American Horror Story: Roanoke”
“American Horror Story” just isn’t “American Horror Story” without series mainstay Sarah Paulson, but there’s one season Paulson admits she wasn’t all that happy being part of.
The sixth season of FX’s anthology series, “American Horror Story: Roanoke” cast Paulson in three different roles, with the first half taking the form of a paranormal documentary titled “My Roanoke Nightmare” and the second half bringing the show’s reenactors and their real-world counterparts together for a found footage tale involving ghosts of Roanoke’s past.
As it turns out, it’s the one season Paulson wishes she could’ve gotten out of.
“I just don’t care about this season at all,” Paulson recently admitted on The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, brought to our attention by Entertainment Weekly.
Paulson continues, “I know people will get mad at me for saying it, but for me, this was post having played Marcia [Clark in “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”] and it was what I went to do right after finishing Marcia. I was so underwhelmed by the whole experience, because I felt like I had entered into a new place inside of myself in terms of what I thought possible, in terms of what I might be willing to see if I can do. I felt really kind of trapped by my responsibility and my contractual obligation to do American Horror Story.”
“As much as it’s my home, and I’ve loved it always, it was the first time I felt like I wish I could have gone to Ryan [Murphy] and said, ‘Please let me sit this one out’,” she adds.
Sarah Paulson will return to the world of “American Horror Story” in “American Horror Story: Double Feature” this year. Here’s hoping it’s a season she’s proud of being involved in.
Director Ishirō Honda (Godzilla) brought The Human Vapor to the screen for Toho back in 1960, and the classic tokusatsu film is getting a brand new series reboot from Netflix.
All eight episodes of “Human Vapor” will premiere July 2 on Netflix.
Watch the brand new official trailer below.
Here’s the full official synopsis: “Kenji Okamoto (Shun Oguri), a detective on suspension, is recruited to hunt down the criminal behind a series of unprecedented murders. It all starts when a college professor suddenly swells and explodes on live television.
“Before anyone can process this bizarre event, a man calling himself the Human Vapor (UTA) announces that he will perform a series of murders, sending society into a great panic.
“Kenji and reporter Kyoko (Yu Aoi) devote themselves to uncovering the truth and catching the culprit, who seems to be mocking the authorities as they struggle to close in on him. With each new killing, he corrodes society with a formless, pervasive fear.”
“A legendary Toho film is rebooted with a brand-new story,” Netflix previews. “VFX by the Academy Award-winning team Shirogumi that amazed the world with its work on Godzilla Minus One is combined with an extraordinary sense of scale, represented by grand car chases. A visual experience of a new dimension that far surpasses past Japanese drama series.”
Shun Oguri, Yu Aoi, Suzu Hirose, Kento Hayashi, and Yutaka Takenouchi star.
Shinzo Katayama directed “Human Vapor,” written by Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) and Ryu Yong-jae. This marks the first collaboration between Netflix and Toho Studios.
