Maybe if I called her she would have said, 'Yes' – I doubt it – but if she had, I would have felt really bad. By the time we did Don't Breathe I think it was even harder. They go through hell, and she went through hell twice back-to-back with Evil Dead and then Don't Breathe. Not just her – in general, actors going through this, the ones that take it seriously, they go through hell. He wondered aloud if Jane Levy would have possibly agreed to make Don’t Breathe 2, but he noted that even if she did it would have put him in a kind of compromising situation: After all, Jane Levy’s characters in both movies experience some horrific trials (albeit very different ones), and when you’re on set filming those kinds of scenes it can take a lot out of a performer – especially a dedicated one like Levy.Ĭontinuing, Fede Alvarez complemented her commitment to the work, but also suggested that in a way he didn’t feel great about what he was making her commit to. Reflecting on both Evil Dead and Don’t Breathe, one can understand why Fede Alvarez would hold this perspective. I will bet she would have not come back to do another one, but maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm just assuming.

So I wouldn't have done that to her, I think. These movies are really, really demanding, the way we do them. I think that she gives two hundred percent every day.

I think when I see her there, I see her in her true element where she's truly happy when I saw her shooting these movies, I did not see her happy. I saw her recent work I'm so happy that she's having so much success with the TV stuff. The filmmaker opened up about his relationship with the actor this week during a trailer preview event for Don’t Breathe 2 in Los Angeles, answering a question regarding why Levy isn’t featured in the sequel. Alvarez, who directed Don’t Breathe, worked with Jane Levy not only on the 2016 film, but also 2013’s Evil Dead – and while he considers both of their collaborations to be successes, he evidently walked away from the experiences with certain concerns regarding his star’s time on set.
