Moses had no plot, no director, no star, no storyboards just those three little words.
Getting the JobWadlows involvement withTruth or Darestarted as so many things do in Hollywood: with a meeting.
The movie, if you really think about it, was a dare, explains Wadlow.
I met with Jason and he said, Do you want to make a movie calledTruth or Dare?
And I said Do you have a script?
Do you have anything?
He said, Nope!
I just came up with that on the spot and he was like, Thats amazing!
And I said, I dont know!
Im just making this up!
I think he just liked me.
Finding the StorySo youve got a movie and a title!
There was more than one story at play, and we each pitched different ideas.
What we did was we just sat around and talked about the game, explains Wadlow.

Why do people love the game?
It forces you to face your fears.
It gives you permission to do things you wouldnt normally do and say things you wouldnt normally say.
It puts you in sort of an antagonistic dynamic with your closest friends.
Once you start talking about these things, the movie almost presents itself.
The big finale, however, changed drastically right before the director started principal photography.
I showed the script to my old writing partner, who wrote and producedCry Wolfwith me.
So I wrote a whole new third act just to amp it up.
Probably my favorite horror movie of all time isScream.
I love it, because for me its not about body parts.
