But if he has to juggle multiple projects and responsibilities, hed prefer having all his luggage.
Still, hes getting used to it all the jet setting, not the lost luggage.
Admittedly, the Nickelodeon audience isnt the same thing as the horror crowd.

Shia LaBeoufcame up to me and was so nice about it, Wolff says of the response toHereditary.
Captain America,Chis Evans, came up to me.
Its a crazy thing that that movie really moved people the way it did.
A24
Maybe a little less.
It feels like this dream.
You know how dreams are weird and elusive and odd?
FilmRise
Thats how it feels.
It feels like this dream that I had is now in front of me and happening.
I just saw the film was picked up for distribution [in mid-September].
Is that a weight off your shoulders at this point?Definitely.
People are actually going to see it.
I think thats a hard point.
People have spent money on this and this whole time its almost like youre waiting.
Its gonna be good, I promise!
And then its finished and you have to be like, Well, I cant really do anything else.
This is the movie.
So, lets just hope people like it.
FilmRise stepping up is the coolest thing in the world.
When youre making a movie, you feel like the center of the universe.
People will have their own interpretation and all that.
At the same time, your dream thing can never live up to it.
What I learned is its really lucky if you could get to the middle.
Did you find that afterHereditarycame out, it was easier to brand yourself to distributors?
Was it easier to get this movie into theaters?Thats a good question.
I dont really know.
I try not to think of things like that.
Nothing changed about me in terms of my integrity as an actor and as a filmmaker.
AfterHereditary, obviously, I think more people know who I am and that movie was a cultural explosion.

Thats honestly the answer.
Initially, I didnt want to do it.
He emailed me and said, I really like your script.
Do you want to come down a chat?
He talked me through it, page by page.
It was an early draft, too.
He said it reminded him of when he wroteThe Squid and the Whaleand that was very cool to hear.
Thats the total truth.
It was right when finals were coming up and I needed a distraction.
It all flooded in.
I dont even know.
I wouldnt dare read that first draft.
Id probably get so depressed if I read it.
My first draft was obviously super long.
Certain names had to be changed for not-getting-sued purposes.
I did pick up an old draft and I threw it down like it wasThe Exorcistor something.
It was terrifying, reading that.
Cabs will usually rip you off, theres a 70/30 chance of getting into bars if youre underage.
I really appreciate that.
Its so funny because I was just writing what was going on at the time.
Especially in high school, its like Im writing what it would be like on a Friday.
I feel very lucky thats on film.
Those were more important to the story for a long time and then the story found itself.
I guess I learned how to be an actor while working with actors.
What was most appealing about signing on for a film like that?
In one sentence: Its a fing joy working with him.
