‘Tarot’ star Jacob Batalon: ‘I definitely feel like I have a duty just as other Filipino-American actors do to really be like representatives of our culture and our people.’
The showrunners said they created “Tarot” for the cinemas. “Horror is best experienced in a group,” said Halberg. “There’s something so scary and fun about sitting in a dark theater with a group of strangers and going on this emotional rollercoaster.” Based on a 1992 novel, ‘Horrorscope,’ the movie is written and directed by Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg, in their feature film directorial debut. Starring alongside Jacob are Harriet Slater, Adain Bradley, Avantika Vandanapu, Wolfgang Novogratz, Humberly González, and Larsen Thompson. "Tarot" is now showing in cinemas under Columbia Pictures.
Meanwhile, here’s a little more update on Jacob’s film and TV projects besides his breakout success as Peter Parker’s scene-stealing and charming best friend Ned Leeds in the MCU Spider-Man films. In 2022, Jacob debuted as executive producer and lead star in Syfy’s “Reginald the Vampire,” a dramedy that tells the story of Batalon’s Reginald as an unlikely hero battling through obstacles in a world inhabited with beautiful, fit, and vain vampires.
How did you approach portraying Paxton and could you relate to his journey from skepticism to belief in the supernatural? “Oh, man, gosh. There were a lot of nights where we did the Tarot reading scenes, and that was super fun. But I think, ironically, the funnest night that I had, was when we did this campfire scene. It didn’t even feel like a horror movie. It felt like a coming of age story. And then it all turns bad .”
