The Portable Door (2023)
Paul Carpenter is an intern at a mysterious London firm with unconventional employers, including a CEO who wants to disrupt the ancient magical world with modern corporate practices.
hen I first read the script it did remind me of Harry Potter and kind of those fantasy films,” Wilde explained in an exclusive interview. “And y’know it’s Jim Henson, so I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s like The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth’, for sure.”
Much like Labyrinth, the film makes use of practical effects throughout its runtime, and Otto revealed that this was one of the most appealing things about the project.
“It’s always easier working with practical effects, like the joy of it is actually to be able to immerse yourself in that world,” she said.
“Sometimes you have to do things where you’re imagining things, like talking to tennis balls or that sort of thing, but it’s much more fun when a lot of the magic is happening truly in front of you.”
She then asked Wilde what some of her most fun moments on set had been, with her co-star replying: “I love the final battle sequence – having the goblins there and the explosions and stuff, they really did that! I thought that was really cool.”
Of course, given that there are multiple novels in the series, fans will be eager to know if there could be a sequel to the film – and Otto and Wilde certainly both seem open to the idea.
“I would love to [return],” said Otto. “I mean this was a really great set, a great group of people and a really fun world to play in – so yeah, I think a lot of us would really like to come back
