For the soundtrack, the actress put her own spin on The Cars 1984 track Magic. She stated this marks her fourth career project combining acting with a musical component. Demitri Lerios traveled from Buffalo New York to record the track within twenty-four hours. Steinfeld described the studio experience as an easy yes due to her passion for music.
Cast joins witchy animated adventure
Rashida Jones voices the cautious mother while Jodie Foster plays the evil ruler Queen Celeste. The film features a teen discovering secret magical powers leading her into Hexe realm of witches. Disney Animation chief creative officer Jared Bush first texted Steinfeld with the idea for the role. In the spring prior to shooting, Steinfeld gave birth to a baby girl alongside her spouse Josh Allen.
Villain role excites returning actress
Jodie Foster explained that playing a Disney villain was super exciting after working on cartoons as a child actor. She noted the world of witches needs to be reanimated instead of vilified for being all-female societies. Rashida Jones said working on an animated project is great to see come together with a leap of faith. Hexed hits theaters on November 25.
