Watch the Wayward cast recreate Toni Collette’s iconic scene from The Sixth Sense in a touching tribute to the actress. See how they honor “our queen.” There is a recreation of Lynn and Cole Sear's emotional car talk that was approved by Collette herself. It stars creator and star Mae Martin and costar Sydney Topliffe.Along with Sydney Topliffe, Mae Martin, creator and star of the Netflix movie Wayward, reenacted Toni Collette's famous car scene from The Sixth Sense between takes of their hit show.
Martin posted the funny copy on Instagram, perfectly imitating Collette's matriarch's hand movements. He called it a "honour to our queen and hero," Collette, who plays the evil headmistress of a school for troubled teens in Wayward.
It's the teary conversation between Cole Sear, played by Haley Joel Osment, and his mother Lynn, played by Collette. In it, Cole tells Lynn that he is often visited by ghosts.As a young Cole, Topliffe says, "The ghosts tell me what to do." "Do you think I'm a freak?"
"Look at my face," Lynn played by Collette says to Martin. "I would never think that." Do you understand?"
Topliffe tells Martin, who is shocked, "Grandma says hi." "She comes to visit me sometimes."
"That's not right, Cole. Grandma's gone, you know that," Martin answers, with the two soon launching into the emotionally loaded sequence regarding the grandmother's funeral."She told me you went to the graveyard and asked her a question." "Every day," she said was the answer. What did you ask?" Osment asks in the scene, and Collette, who is crying, says, "Do I make her proud?"
Within the description, Martin explained that the recreation was shot at 2 a.m. in the "freezing cold" during a "crucial scene" for Wayward. Based on where they are in the car, it looks like they are shooting the last episode, in which Martin's character dreams of leaving their cult-like small town. Martin wrote, "I think you'll agree it's our best work."In the comments part, Collette herself replied and called the recreation "phenomenal." "I love both of you," she wrote. "Wow, this is pretty good!"
Martin created Wayward and plays in it as Alex Dempsey, a transgender police officer who moves to the small town where his pregnant wife (Sarah Gadon) grew up and finds that things are not what they seem to be. Collette's Evelyn Ward is at the centre of the riddle. She is the mysterious headmistress of a school for troubled teens where Topliffe's character, Abbie, works and also tries to find out secrets about the scary school.There were 8.2 million views in Netflix's report earlier this week that named Wayward the most-watched show in English.
Collette, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her part in The Sixth Sense, recently talked about the movie while promoting Wayward. In an interview with Tom Power, she said that while filming, she didn't know at first that the 1999 classic was a horror movie. Collette laughed and said, "I just thought it was a beautiful, spiritual story."
