The women battle back against the invaders while searching for their father\u2019s trove of guns.<\/p>\n<p>Given the premise, you\u2019d expect a classic shoot-\u2019em-up to ensue. You\u2019d be wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Q wanted to do the film to work with writer-director Neil LaBute (In the Company of Men, Nurse Betty, Lakeview Terrace). She\u2019s a seasoned action star who previously went from Hong Kong martial arts films to appearing in Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard.<\/p>\n<p>But she had one request \u2013 no guns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, she\u2019s definitely looking for a gun,\u201d Q said in an interview with Yahoo! Entertainment. \u201cShe\u2019s trying to find her father\u2019s weapons but it doesn\u2019t happen for them. I said, \u2018Let\u2019s get a little more creative.\u2019 If she finds her father\u2019s guns, it\u2019s game over. It\u2019s not interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guys who are attacking them can\u2019t use guns because they can\u2019t make noise. I was trying to create something that was a little bit different and more creative in the way that they were meant to get out of their situation. Because [in the original script], she finds guns, and there\u2019s a gunfight and all that sort of stuff. So we changed it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Q also a soapbox objection to the use of firearms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t have to promote [gun violence], why promote it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>View this article at <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/07\/maggie-q-requested-no-guns-in-new-action-thriller-fear-the-night-1235445723\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maggie Q Requested No Guns Be Used In New Action-Thriller, \u2018Fear The Night\u2019: A bachelorette party at a remote desert house is suddenly terrorized by home invaders.
