TIFF 2026: Comer and Harry Melling lead Theo Rhys' genre-hopping musical The post Jodie Comer Learned Taxidermy for Horror Musical Romance ‘Stuffed’ appeared first on TheWrap .
Jodie Comer's impressive career includes an Emmy-winning role in the series "Killing Eve," but for her upcoming musical romance "Stuffed," she acquired a new talent: taxidermy. Comer explained to TheWrap at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival that taxidermy scenes were prevalent on set, and she completed a taxidermy course in Portsmouth, which significantly contributed to her understanding of her character Araminta's psychology.
Araminta and Bernie, played by Comer and Harry Melling respectively, form an unexpected love story throughout the film. The story is set against a darkly macabre backdrop and falls into the genres of musical, horror, and romance. Comer and Melling met in college and collaborated on the film's unique concept, which was initially a short film winning multiple awards.
Comer stated that original musicals, such as "Stuffed," are not typically produced, but the film's focus on death, love, and finding meaning in the world lends itself perfectly to the musical format.
