The Virgil is a nine-floor building, because we used Dante\u2019s \u2018Inferno\u2019 as inspiration, where every floor is literally a different circle of hell. That gave us this idea of how we dress the floors, what kind of theme belongs to each floor, what is actually happening on that floor. So, we used this structure to develop the visual style and design of the place.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, the Virgil was going to be a scary tower in the middle of nowhere, says co-writer Alex Litvak. \u201cBut we quickly pivoted and landed on the idea of an exclusive condo complex in the heart of the city \u2013 a seemingly welcoming Rosemary\u2019s Baby-style community most would kill [or die] to live in. That helped fuel some of the film\u2019s themes: class, disposable people, the struggle to belong, to find a home, and the cost that comes with it. We also played with the idea that each floor represents a level of Hell. At one point the metaphor was more explicit, but we felt the building was starting to overshadow the characters, so we dialed that back. Suffice it to say, we think we\u2019re only scratching the surface with the Virgil \u2013 and there may be more places like it all over the world\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" data-attachment-id=\"70552\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/we-used-dantes-inferno-as-inspiration-where-every-floor-is-literally-a-different-circle-of-hell-says-director-of-horror-action-comedy-they-will-kill-yo\/attachment\/image-44-25\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4.png\" data-orig-size=\"800,533\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image (44)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4-300x200.png\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4.png\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-70552\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4.png 800w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4-300x200.png 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-44-4-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zazie Beetz and director Kirill Sokolov on the set of \u201cThey Will Kill You\u201d<br>Photo credit: Warner Bros. Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Sokolov says that as the floor changes, the style of action changes as well. \u201cAs we move from floor to floor, the world changes, the circles of hell changes, so the vibe of the fights and the choreography also will be different,\u201d he says. \u201cWe start with very grounded and naturalistic fights, a little bit exaggerated. Then we go into some kind of Viking shit with epic scale and much more graphic. Then we go full anime, crazy kung fu type of fighting. They sound different, they look different and they feel different and, I hope, bigger and bigger and bigger and more and more exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It certainly helped that the film\u2019s producers are such horror fans \u2013 and respected names in the genre \u2013 themselves. \u201cThey Will Kill You\u201d is produced by Andy Muschietti and Barbara Muschietti, who directed and produced, respectively, horror hits \u201cIt,\u201d \u201cIt Chapter Two\u201d and \u201cMama.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shares Litvak, \u201cWhen we took the script to market, we were fortunate to have two competing buyers. For us, the goal wasn\u2019t just to sell the script \u2013 it was to make the movie without losing the unconventional style and the inspired madness we had baked into the pages. The moment we met Andy and Barbara, it was clear we weren\u2019t dealing with producers so much as fellow artists who immediately understood what we were trying to do. They believed in the tone of the film and supported our mission from the start. That ultimately made the choice to go with them a no-brainer, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone is invited to visit The Virgil when \u201cThey Will Kill You\u201d opens only in cinemas March 25, 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOur production designer is a mad genius,\u201d says director and co-writer Kirill Sokolov of Jeremy Reed, his production designer for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,943],"tags":[2311,16674,9007,6369],"class_list":["post-70550","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-movies-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-they-will-kill-you","tag-warner-bros-pictures","tag-zazie-beetz"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 -
