Havana Rose Liu: From Bottoms Breakout to A24's Elden Ring Movie & Tuner

Havana Rose Liu sits down with Perri Nemiroff for an in-depth conversation on Collider Ladies Night to discuss her riveting role as Ruthie in Daniel Roher's new crime-thriller, Tuner, also starring Leo Woodall and Dustin Hoffman. She also opens up about taking a massive leap into the blockbuster realm with Alex Garland’s highly anticipated A24 live-action film adaptation of Elden Ring. In this 56-minute deep dive, Havana tracks her unique career trajectory, from being street-cast in New York's Washington Square Park to the life-changing, culture-shifting impact of her breakout ensemble role in the queer comedy hit Bottoms. Plus, she breaks down her immersive preparation for Tuner, detailing how she built an emotional and physical relationship with the piano to find her character, what it was like collaborating with co-star Leo Woodall despite their opposite prep styles, and why her upcoming blockbusters under the A24 banner feel like the perfect next step for her creative journey. 00:00 The Trick to Fake Sleeping as an Actor 01:42 Havana’s Best Audition 04:19 Havana & Ruby Cruz Want to Play Foley Artists 06:20 Havana Rose Liu on Collider Ladies Night! 07:05 Mia Goth, Juliette Lewis & the Cast of Mayday 08:44 Studying Art, Activism & Wellness at NYU 11:26 Practicing Self-Care as an Actor 12:57 Getting “Street Cast” as a Model 15:28 Finding the Right Representation 18:58 Why Bottoms Was Life-Changing 22:28 Havana Teases Elden Ring 24:18 Turning to Charles Melton for Advice 25:46 Havana Wants to Be in Avatar 28:43 Havana Wants to Play a Creature 29:32 Arkasha Stevenson’s New A24 Movie 31:34 Tuner Conversation Begins 33:33 Havana’s Aha Moment Playing Ruthie 36:41 Working With Leo Woodall 39:25 Accepting Imperfection 42:16 “I Feel Like I’ve Been Having Too Much Fun” 44:36 Dustin Hoffman & the Evolution of the Diner Scene 46:31 Ruthie’s Big Performance 51:02 Breaking Down the Tuner Ending 54:29 What Havana Is Most Proud Of #eldenring #havanaroseliu #tuner #bottoms #interview BREAKING NEWS, REVIEWS & MORE: https://collider.com SUBSCRIBE:    / collider   FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL   / collider     / collider     / collider
