saudade
« Tutto a Lisbona trasmette saudade, e ancor di più questa spianata di fronte al vuoto, e stando qui, aspirando la brezza che increspa il Tago, cioè il Tejo, si intuisce vagamente What is this inexplicable feeling of regret, of loss, and at the same time desire to attain the unattainable, melancholy need utopia which is the same horizon, a feeling that the medieval troubadours called saudade in any language, and since then has find an appropriate word to translate. "
(Pino Cacucci)

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. (Steve Jobs)
I tell you three stories from my life. That's it, nothing exceptional: only three stories. The first story is about something I call 'connect the dots' of a lifetime. As a boy, I dropped out of college, out of Reed College after the first semester. I continued to follow some courses informally for another year and a half, then I have gone altogether. Why did I do? it all started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college student when she became pregnant and decided to give me up for adoption. He wanted me to be completely adopted by a couple of graduate students, and made sure everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. But when I arrived, the couple - at the last minute - said he wanted to adopt a girl. So, what then would become my parents, and were in second place on the waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "Is there a baby boy, not provided. The do you want? ". They said: "Certainly." My biological mother later found out that this couple had not graduated: she had never finished college and the man had not even graduated from high school. Then my biological mother refused to sign the final adoption papers. Then he relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the beginning of my life.
So, as promised, several years later, in 1972, I went to college. But I naively chose a college too expensive, and all the savings of my parents ended up paying me for the tuition. After six months I could not find any real opportunities. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and how college could help me understand. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved from working for a lifetime.
So I decided to let go and trust that everything would be fine.
was very difficult time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life.
When I left college, I stopped to take courses that did not interest me and begin to enter the classes that I found most interesting.
It was not all rosy, though. I did not have a dorm room, and I slept on the floor of the chambers of my friends. Earned money to the seller bringing the empty bottles of Coca-Cola for five cents deposit and I can buy food. Once a week, on Sunday evening, I walked for seven miles across town to finally have a good meal at the Hare Krishna temple, the only one of the week. But much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and my intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you an example.
: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy courses in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was hand written with beautiful calligraphy. Since I had dropped the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about the characters with and without the 'thanks', I knew the difference between the spaces that separate the different letter combinations, including what makes a great typography. It was wonderful, in a way that science can offer, because it was beautiful, but also artistic, historical, and I found it fascinating.
None of these things, however, had no hope of finding a practical application in my life. But then, ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it for the Mac was the first computer equipped with advanced printing capabilities. If I had not left the normal classes and then I had not in on that single course, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced different. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it is likely that there would be any personal computer with those capabilities. If I had not dropped out of college, I could never in on this calligraphy class and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Certainly, at the time when I was in college it was impossible for me to 'connect the dots' looking to the future. But it became very, very clear ten years later, when I was able to look back.
short, it is possible to 'connect the dots' looking ahead, you can only join them later, looking back. Thus, one must always trust that somehow, in the future, the dots will. We must believe in something, our gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Why believe that eventually will join the dots will give us the confidence to follow our hearts even when this will take us away from the roads safer and predictable and will make a difference in our lives. This approach has never let me walk, and instead, has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss
I was lucky I found what I loved to do early in my life. Steve Wozniak and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20 years. We worked hard and in ten years, Apple has become - from quell'aziendina with two guys in a garage that was at the beginning - a company from $ 2 billion with more than 4 000 employees.
In 1985 - I had just turned 30 years and a few months ago we released our finest creation, the Macintosh - I got fired.
How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew, we hired someone who I thought was very talented and ability to lead the company with me, and for the first year things went very well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was missing and I was completely devastated.
For some months I did not know what to do. I felt like I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs to me as if I had dropped the baton was being passed to me. It was a very public failure and I even thought about running away from Silicon Valley.
But something slowly began to dawn on me I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed a bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
not I realized then, but the fact of having been fired from Apple was the best thing that could happen. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me, allowing me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the five years I started a company named NeXT, another named Pixar, and I fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, 'Toy Story', and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. My wife Laurene and I have a wonderful family. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I had not been fired from Apple. was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.
Sometimes life hits you like a brick on his head. We must not lose faith, though. Are convinced that the only thing that kept me going was the love for what I did. You have to find what we love. And this applies to both our business and our affections. Our work to fill a large part of our lives, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what we believe to be a good job. And the only way to do a good job is to love what we do. Who still has not found, must continue to seek. Do not settle. With all my heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like all great love stories, it just gets better and better as the years pass. Therefore, we have to continue looking until you have not found. Without being satisfied.
The third story is about death.
When I was 17 I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll definitely be right." Impression on me, and since then, over the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked: "If today were the last day of my life, I do what I am about to do today?". And whenever the answer is no for too many days in a row, I understand that something must be changed.
remind me that I will die soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to make the big choices in life. Because almost all things - all of eternity expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remember that we die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. We are already naked. There is no reason, therefore, not to follow our hearts.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I did the CAT scan at seven-thirty in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. Before I did not know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me that it was a cancer that was almost certainly incurable type, I would die within the next three, at most six months. So it would be better if I put my affairs in order (which is the code to tell the doctors prepare to die). It means to tell your kids in a few months everything you thought you could tell them in ten years. This means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that your family is as simple as possible. It means to say your goodbye.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, which is the result stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach up intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few of my cancer cells. I was sedated but my wife - who was there - I said that when doctors have viewed the cells under the microscope started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer, curable with surgery . I had the surgery and now, fortunately, I'm fine.
This was the time when I went closer to death and I hope its the one for a few decades. Having lived through it, now I can talk with a little 'more certainty than when death for me was just an abstract concept
Nobody wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven, do not really want to die to get there. But death is the destination we all have in common. No one has ever escaped it. It is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of life. is the agent of change in life. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
Our time is limited, so we must not waste it living someone else's life. Let us not be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Do not let the noise of others' opinions drown out our inner voice. And, most important of all, we must have the courage to follow our hearts and our intuition. Somehow, they know what we really want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was incredible that a newspaper was called 'The Whole Earth Catalog', one of the bibles of my generation. was created by Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and Stewart had put it to life with his poetic touch. was the late Sixties, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid. was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before there was Google: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions concepts.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of 'The Whole Earth Catalog' and when they arrived at the end of their journey, they released the latest issue. It was more or less the mid-seventies. On the last page of that final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind of street where you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: 'Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish ', Be Foolish. It was their farewell message. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish: I myself have always wished that for myself. And now I wish that for you. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Veet Wax Allergic Reaction
INTERVIEW AM Night Shyamalan
Do you think this might be called his film a movie environmentalist or ecologist?
- I must say that in every movie I've done so far, there is always something to do with my concern, my fear and now. If you have concerns of family type, then maybe the film has to do with your family or the loss of the family. In this case, I was genuinely concerned for the future, and fear for the future that I see in my work.
What fears are behind this type of movie? -
For this film, I rely a bit 'There were also fears that in the 50s and 60s, fears about what would happen to the world as a third world war, civil rights, the witch-hunt, and then we got movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or "Night of the Living Dead. " All these films were based on a fear of the time compared to what would have happened in the world. Currently we are in a phase where there is this new fear of what might happen in the world, and I quote movies like "I Am Legend," "Cloverfield," It still suffers again this anxiety for the future.
can cite many science fiction movies or model apocalyptic. Which has inspired?
I mentioned before, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." It 's a movie that made me afraid not so much because of Alieni.I moments that impressed me the most are scared and also, for example, that the scene in which the child says, "seems to my mother this, but it is "a scary moment, when we realize that people who think we know well and love suddenly start to behave the opposite of what we expect. This is something that led me to give quest'impronta of "survival of the film" to my movie. How to survive when things change so much in my life. Another detail: the finished film, I had a choice between a dozen sequences for the opening titles and end credits, there were scenes of DNA, science fiction, I have chosen the sequence of clouds and was my figlidi 8 years to realize as we watched "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that there is also the scene of the clouds.
There is a recurring theme in his films, the loss of faith and the recapture by an extraordinary event ... -
All the main characters of my films I am. If I play a character in the movie is not me. In this case, the character played by Mark Wahlberg I am. I guess so beautiful. The character in itself, somehow, a faith to recover. Faith in God, in love, in humans, in the future. In this case, the character played by Mark Wahlberg strongly believes in women who chose and believe even more that this woman again become what he knows that deep she is and always has been. His best friend does not believe so, she lives a great question to itself, does not believe to be quwello that her husband thinks she is, a kind of blind faith. I believe that behind every movie, especially if they can even deal with my ghosts or aliens, there is always something spiritual, even if at first did not talk about it. This is something that makes you very strong audience reactions to my films, even when they do not like, even if you hated the film, creates deep emotional reactions. Like it or not. Actors such as Walherg that attract me are men of faith and bring this personal belief in the character.
Why a rebellion of nature, plants - as in "The Thing from Another World"? -
Many of the things you see in the film I was reading or listening to in newspapers and on television, the disappearance of the bees in the United States has had a lot of echo, also in the film makes reference to the ancient bacteria found in the waters Australia is a real news, last week I read of neurotoxins found in the vegetation in a lake in Thailand, with the coastline contaminated. Also in Thailand, it was alleged that the frogs are disappearing. This sense of imbalance that give us the earthquakes and natural phenomena make us feel as if we were visitors to this land, the total interconnection between us all there together gives us a perspective, a necessarily different approach: we are not we see everything, but we are part of the rest. I do not cultivate plants, however, live in the country and everything is green hills and trees.
In his previous film was made mention of a man of destiny, who would read a book ... some reference to Obama?
The strange thing is that in the original script of 'Lady in the Water "for a long time there has been a clear description of this character, when Storydescrive an African American man. I removed it when they did the first test screening audience of more than plucking the racial discourse, but the film was a way to tell how the stories we tell our stories have impact on others, can change the lives of others without want it. That was why I wanted to remove that part where you explain who this man was leaving the juice.
Some pictures sounds eerily familiar, somewhere. Sources that had inspired graphics? Paintings, drawings, comics?
This film, made to fear, everything takes place in daylight. Borrowing heavily from old movies on a visual level, the era of Hitchcock, it makes me feel at ease but also Japanese minimalist aesthetics, from Kurosawa, and even scenes that he filmed by Kubrick, I had to restrain from making shots too much of Kubrick, with the goal wide with certain positions of the characters, certain movements. Both me and the actor decided to detach from that aesthetic. It 's always the way in which one raises his camera, the shot that is, you forward this note "musical" attrevarso the image. By the same shot in which we take a crowd, put the crowd at the center of the frame creates a kind of balance that is almost unnatural and therefore imperfect, a kind of uncomfortable, as if something was to happen, the person feels relieved when in which the director moves the frame of the mass of people to the right or left. And if the shot goes slightly downwards, this change of view becomes something that intimidates the viewer. If it is on the same level of parity, gives an idea of \u200b\u200bconversation, dialogue continued, and then just slightly raise the frame a few inches, the viewer needs to redefine who is a crowd or a group of animals, there is a need to take off from that situation once the definition has been given. For example, I could ask my director of photography to raise slightly the shot when the actor was not at home and needed to redefine anything.
What makes cameo in this film?
In this film, I have a very important role. No they're really just the voice of his Jeoy to phone. What you see on the DVD.
In this catastrophic tragedy as citizens are left to themselves, we never see the state:
When I thought in my mind about how to set up what I have heard that in 36 hours in which the story develops with a progressive growing isolation of the characters, not allowed and did not provide such a massive intervention by the Was it because when it was created and humans became increasingly emaciated state intervention was unnecessary because we find ourselves without parents. Like a child who is alone. The fear of being isolated and alone with no one can take care of yourself you can protect Eche. And then there's another aspect to consider: today is a common experience of those who have suffered loss and tragedy come to know of any accidents, loss, family tragedies, friends, correspondents, CNN even before the authorities are able to identify and meet the relatives of a victim. So there is this absence of the state at the forefront.

Do you think this might be called his film a movie environmentalist or ecologist?
- I must say that in every movie I've done so far, there is always something to do with my concern, my fear and now. If you have concerns of family type, then maybe the film has to do with your family or the loss of the family. In this case, I was genuinely concerned for the future, and fear for the future that I see in my work.
What fears are behind this type of movie? -
For this film, I rely a bit 'There were also fears that in the 50s and 60s, fears about what would happen to the world as a third world war, civil rights, the witch-hunt, and then we got movies like "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" or "Night of the Living Dead. " All these films were based on a fear of the time compared to what would have happened in the world. Currently we are in a phase where there is this new fear of what might happen in the world, and I quote movies like "I Am Legend," "Cloverfield," It still suffers again this anxiety for the future.
can cite many science fiction movies or model apocalyptic. Which has inspired?
I mentioned before, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." It 's a movie that made me afraid not so much because of Alieni.I moments that impressed me the most are scared and also, for example, that the scene in which the child says, "seems to my mother this, but it is "a scary moment, when we realize that people who think we know well and love suddenly start to behave the opposite of what we expect. This is something that led me to give quest'impronta of "survival of the film" to my movie. How to survive when things change so much in my life. Another detail: the finished film, I had a choice between a dozen sequences for the opening titles and end credits, there were scenes of DNA, science fiction, I have chosen the sequence of clouds and was my figlidi 8 years to realize as we watched "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" that there is also the scene of the clouds.
There is a recurring theme in his films, the loss of faith and the recapture by an extraordinary event ... -
All the main characters of my films I am. If I play a character in the movie is not me. In this case, the character played by Mark Wahlberg I am. I guess so beautiful. The character in itself, somehow, a faith to recover. Faith in God, in love, in humans, in the future. In this case, the character played by Mark Wahlberg strongly believes in women who chose and believe even more that this woman again become what he knows that deep she is and always has been. His best friend does not believe so, she lives a great question to itself, does not believe to be quwello that her husband thinks she is, a kind of blind faith. I believe that behind every movie, especially if they can even deal with my ghosts or aliens, there is always something spiritual, even if at first did not talk about it. This is something that makes you very strong audience reactions to my films, even when they do not like, even if you hated the film, creates deep emotional reactions. Like it or not. Actors such as Walherg that attract me are men of faith and bring this personal belief in the character.

Elearners Career Stimulus Package
INTERVIEW WITH ALEX DE LA IGLESIA
Oxford Murders is a very different film than the previous in which we had become accustomed to a grotesque atmosphere. Instead, this film contains little black humor and in general there is little room for comedy. What is the reason for such a radical change?
Alex de la Iglesia - The reason is simple. The film is time from a book, that is the work of another person, or Guillermo Martinez. In general, I wrote by myself or with Jorge Guerricaechevarría, and were original screenplays. It would not make sense in a thriller or a comedy force within the wickedness and cynicism that usually put in my work. I wanted to respect the atmosphere of the original that I wanted to bring to the screen, so I decided not to put too much of my own. However I do not like the term black humor because the humor is always black, because it is based on the life, which itself is black. This is not mine, I've stolen from Rafael Azcona.
What struck you in particular of the novel by Guillermo Martinez and I decided to make a movie?
Alex de la Iglesia - The intrigue behind the treachery and deceit. The manipulation of truth and the identity of the ambiguous character, recurring aspects in my cinema. The professor knows only a small part of reality and the young mathematician arrives in a place where it can not be accepted. I am particularly intrigued by the playful, the fact that none of the characters is completely sincere and never pretends to be someone else.
Jorge Guerricaechevarría - Even if you can not define an outright comedy but is essentially a mystery, the story is ludicrous, however, ambiguous and mysterious. A summation of intrigue and mystery is always fascinating, especially the way it approaches the topic as a role playing game where you must find the 'murderess.
E ' interesting to use massive and complex plans which sequence in the film. What comes from this technical choice?
Alex de la Iglesia - The initial idea was different. I wanted to implement a different sequence. I wanted to start from above by a helicopter, in order to show Oxford as if it were a game, like a chessboard. A director who knows the tricks used to captivate the audience. The Oxford Murders viewer participates in the game and see how the characters move in a chess game. Unfortunately I could not do what I wanted. When you get so much film, I promise little, and eventually give you even less. At a time when I proposed the idea to the Director photography has taken me a fool and it was impossible. I started to cry, and Elijah Wood took pity on me. He said "I happy with the fat man" and in the end we had eight shots that were combined with a trick.
Unlike the kind of thriller that come out today, you are making a journey that takes you to brush up on the more classical to create suspense in your film. Why?
Alex de la Iglesia - I love thrillers because they are the mirror of how the world works, give the most grotesque and realistic vision of life. The film then is a world itself, that may be told in many different ways. You can talk about anything without fear of getting dirty with reality, because the absolute truth does not exist, or where we do not know. The thriller is like a western, a genre where you can wander to imagine anything because you have no feedback on which to relate in everyday life. There are two kinds of fantasy, which allow you to work on the symbols of reality.
Guerricaechevarría Jorge - Since around there are all these violent movies and TV series, we wanted to make a movie of the mystery sharp and clean, showing the most interesting aspects of the concrete crimes without necessarily show the crudeness. Every effect has its historical consequences unpredictable, and this is very fascinating.
The film speaks at length about the philosophical writings of Wittgenstein, knowledge that has influenced the book and that it had on you?
Alex de la Iglesia - So I studied philosophy at university. At the time I did explain Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Wittgenstein a university fellow and I realized just the beginning and the end. I was impressed in particular the phrase "All you can say it can be said clearly. On what we can not speak one must be silent. " Instead I did just the opposite, that I put myself in the midst of things that are not capable of doing. This puts in my films some innocence that makes them imperfect, but always positive. Wittgenstein, however, I did not understand anything. I remember the first sentence "The world is what happens" and I'm still trying to figure out what it means. I'm so proud to want to make a film about the same thing I did not understand.
Jorge Guerricaechevarría - Wittgenstein obsessed, especially obsessed Alex and we insert it into the film even though the novel was not there. He was a preposterous, he wrote his magnum opus in the war. Even the bombs stopped him. Think about that for a year did the college along with Hitler. We have a script ready for this story. If there is someone who wants to make us extremely available.
So according to you, Alex, there can be no absolute truth?
Alex de la Iglesia - do not know, and do not even know where to look. I have trouble understanding how to finish my film. Especially in the third part of the film I have problems. To me, the truth is there but we made the escape.
The concept is similar to that expressed by Orson Welles in Citizen Kane. It is no accident inspired him?
Alex de la Iglesia - Kane was the cross and the delight of Orson Welles. E 'managed to make a perfect film, like the cinematic equivalent of Plato's Republic, with a perfect crew. And 'the ultimate expression of Hollywood. After Kane did his career went into decline. He's done nothing but repeat, imitate, lived in the memory of the greatest films of all time. We filmmakers today do not do anything but that. Remember. We only parroting everything that has already been done by the greatest in the first half of the twentieth century, when the rules of cinema were written. Now everything is a stream that follows those ideas.

How To Get Shareaza Songs On Itunes
Now part of a new diary, notebook need to write down my thoughts (and everything that goes with it) every time which are far from ... I was going to write "home" but now understand better, let's say now that I'm far from Rome. In fact, most people who read these notes does not know the previous ones or all of my diaries scattered around half of Europe from any other business mail. Many people know (and here I repeat I have never stated) that I love the " firsts ... Now this diary will open itself through my hand fast on the Internet or opening (and its conclusion) belonging to a "global" ... well call the pleasantries and preambles from academic session and begin ... er, beginning!
any of you even in this "Paradise Lost" by Milton? (Read it all would beautiful is one of the goals I set before you die ... but with all due respect I do not have time for this ... belliiiiiiiiiissimo brick!)
well the basic concept from which I assume is Paradise.
(Hank if you are there ... are always references to the Supreme purely random)
For a very limited period of time I'll stay "nice" in this paradise that I was hoping for a sense of having lost, and that instead I'll re-evaluate and redefined as "Found". which perhaps I do not mind.
with my land I've always had a problem or, better one: The people who care!
in less than 12 hours in Puglia has mobilized to come to help me ... when I arrived the Parentame on a war footing ready to welcome me with all the burdens and honors, rights and responsibilities, pros and cons, ups and downs ... ok you get it. you get the true?
oh God I do not think you can even imagine the extent of damage to my physical and mental health ... Tenks also known as "the maiden with long breaths" at the entrance to his beloved Earth seemed like a pregnant woman: I was walking with her legs apart I almost had water broke (I had already broken the P. .. e), sn-way hyperventilation or looking for drugs in the same air I breathed my shit right and left burst and thrown out, it is appropriate to say, without a murmur. Inside
fuuuuuuuuori inside fuuuuuuuori inside fuuuuuuuori ...
Shortly after I was hoping to see a white light end of the tunnel when I went to hunt them beyond repair. I have been punished: not a nightmare is the reality!
In life you never know when you'll need to resort to the "spirit of survival and endurance" that we all leave latent because until then they need. Nor of course we know what we have in reserve if we have almost never used. We'll see
or better ... I'll see if I survive until the next departure the most desired destination or the Emerald Isle of Ireland.
back a little to the discourse of which is the first Paradise Found ... given the stress that all last night I was brought and what has unfortunately yet to come ... I'll describe
MY PLACES in the next post ... maybe this afternoon after a good cigarette, hot baked bread, cuddling with cats, sun and photography ...
do not be intimidated by the words above ... is only the minimum of the worst of this holiday scheeeeeeeerzo forced ... ...
the most beautiful and pleasant poetry is yet to come ... I just need to regain these lost places and lost in the deep south of Italy ... for now the music will ease my suffering. SMILE DEAR

First Audtion Groping Hands
SILVESTER STALLONE INTERVIEW WITH SEAN PENN &
His latest work is set in Burma, a tragedy that the press does not reflect and that is not known. As we approached this issue so hard? In today's world because we need heroes?
I believe that modern heroes are of various sizes and dimensions, not even necessarily have to have muscles heroes nowadays mostly need the heart and brain.
The world knows much of Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, all of these disaster-stricken areas and there are gaps in the world wars that are passed over in silence, which are kept secret, that nobody talks about, so I thought it would be interesting to face a war that has been going on and that has lasted 60 years but was held over in silence . And I also asked "Is this human nature? E 'this is the way in which we are made? And I thought that Rambo was not going to slip, he would not go to fight in a war" famous ", a war known. Rather would go but would return to his personal hell. And I thought that Burma was hell from this point of view. A hell of a war which nobody knows and nobody talks about. At this point the film could serve two masters; by part to educate, make people aware of this horrible situation, which is not known, it is not popular, which is not widespread. Secondly let Rambo to return to this his personal hell, so be sure n entertaining films but at the same time something educational.
What does Rambo in his career?
All of us have a part that is heaven and hell part. The generous side and the altruistic side. The artistic side, creative side and the destructive, nihilistic. The good and bad side. There is also the person we closed, pessimistic, vindictive, evil, that leads to self-destructive war. And I think this can be described as the conscious and unconscious. For me, after all, nowadays I consider it a privilege. I thought it was a bit 'a curse being identified with these two characters, but I think it is a privilege, the possibility of both the pessimistic side of the world that optimistic. The party is a pessimist who is disappointed that this bitter rejection of others but even that optimistic because the world is like that. E 'at 50% and 50% one thing then another and so the possibility of this man who embodies the warrior, who is the eternal soldier trying to return home and then at the bottom to discover that a house is not 'and you do not have it. So the two aspects which are those of loneliness but also the aspect of love.
The Los Angeles Times came out a table that has written an Ohio University professor who has seen all the Rambo movies and did the calculations. He saw that the first, 82 to date there has been a boom of deaths. schemro on. An average of 2.59 is more than you think the world has become more violent, or is the film most in need of action and adrenaline?
For bodycount, body count, since there is an increase in population must try to keep up and maintain the momentum. The idea really is that in a movie where there are fewer deaths and less bodies can be more dramatic as a movie with many deaths can be a film more violent because they kill more and more it seems a silly action movie but in reality it is not. In this film, also I had no choice whereas in Burma, the situation is exactly as I have described, perhaps even worse. There is this strong, big strong violence. For example, a few months ago there was this episode where Buddhist monks were killed, there was talk of 15.20 on the news or maybe 30 people dead, but thousand of monks were made to disappear from the face of this earth and violence is but unfortunately the representation of the ferocity of these people in this situation.
How come there are never any sex scenes in Rambo?
The problem is that he had an accident in etnam where you jumped off something and this is why it has a long knife.
What do you think action movie right now?
action films vary with the personality and the psychology of society. When I was a kid were the films of John Wayne, and those were action movies. Then came my generation, I, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Chuck Norris and the film is enriched to the level of fantasy, has become more fantastic, more Hollywood. Today there is a computer-based generation, advanced technology, this kind generally has become less physical, more physical and based on technology-based computers, the possibilities of special effects. Obviously not want to sound like my father or my grandfather saying "ah, well in my time, my generation were certainly better," I say simply that today is more driven to technology and less on the physical part, there is less need Jason Bourne then this is definitely different from what might be in our times. And 'course I'd like to have that level of technology since the days when you had me do a stunt or a accrobazia was that I'll knock down a tree is not that there were alternatives. Now I create all the computer.
There is a list of the chapters of Rambo in your opinion?
The first is as the first child, maybe even give you some problems but you're stuck in a very strong emotionally. The second in terms of ranking is by far the latter. The second Rambo is very American, full of fantasy with this war fought in Hollywood, very different. The realization of the highest male fantasy background. In the third I tried to do something different, with the Russians who go to fight in Afghanistan. But you must be very careful when you go to do something that has unanatura to do with politics because just two weeks before the film comes to america Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan gives a kiss to Perestroika! I then leave us. And I'm not kidding. Turning the world in Australia I certainly did not boo, I had become an enemy. With this I knew that despite the situation in Burma, even if I shot a film there would be a strata Perestroika for Burma because this is not a war ends or that is resolved with a handshake. Among other things, I must say that I contacted, I do not know anyone, Brima the consulate in Washington because I wanted to go to Burma and they told me there was nothing that was all my own imagination, a fantasy, there was no war. I tried to say that Angelina Jolie is in Iraq, George Clooney in Darfur, I want to go to Burma but they said that was out of her own and was not welcome. You're not welcome. This is to tell you how horrible the situation of war. This film is definitely for me
what gave me greater satisfaction, perhaps just because one thinks like Rambo you can make a difference, doing something, dedicated, you can try to change something. As the soldier that is dedicated to social activities and work for solidarity and try to change the world. Actually no, you're wrong. The only person who can change is yourself. People can change but there is no army and no one who can change the world but only temporarily.
you support John McCain, why? Sees it as a ransom for Rambo, and sees it as his buddy. This will be the last chapter as Rocky? O never say never?
Do not speak of political actors because the actors do not know anything. Plus of course I can express my opinion however that this rate will not move I can guarantee. Just because we are amateurs, we are not experts in politics, absolutely level surface, as a reaction and emotional response, I argue McCane because I think right now our country needs a truly mature person, a person who has experience, someone who understands the game and knows how to play, and whether we like it or not, so politics is a matter of life or aA death but in the end politics is a game and we need qualcunoche know how to participate, how to play and there is no time now for a beginner, a person who has yet to learn how to go there, it fills the office, the post of president and learn, there must be someone who has seen the maturity that we are going to a devastating eight years, we must try to recover the dignity that our country has lost in recent years. It is not fault of a single, one. The fault is unfortunately a bit 'of all. How did the global situation thus far instinctive level I trust him. It 'a person who looks me confidence, and CREDOC can do good for the country, certainly not eprchè may resemble or seem puuò or why Rambo is an ex-soldier or a veteran. I think in the future Obama or Hillary Clinton will be the big stars will also be of great presidents, but today we need someone else. And 'as if I had to choose someone for a film it is obvious that I turn to someone like Arnold Schwartzenegger, I know, that I trust rather than someone who does not know. For me it will
very difficult to say goodbye to Rambo, already has been hard to say goodbye to Rocky. Also because I feel I have much more to say about Rambo and Rmabo and if I had to abandon it forever I would be very depressed.
As directed. The direction is different than other direction. What was its approach to the representation of violence is not graphic but it does send a message? With regard also to the seriousness of the situation. And for the homecoming of the hero as a director what he thought of that scene?
As for the scene back home that speaks of this warrior as if a life begins as we see him off with a Rocky hand and disappears. It gives us the idea of \u200b\u200bsomething that I wanted to do with Rambo continues Oved. I shot a scene in which Rambo sees in the distance, his father, a father who is Indian and this is the reason he inherited all of these features to be so strong and so combative. When I pensaot it would be better, since I still have ideas to make this so you probably will not be the last Rambo I thought I'd leave this thing open, leave it undefined, as the idea in terms of directing, of course I asked myself the question of how to make the direction of the film because I do not know or are not Spielberg make a movie like Black Hawk Down, but I pesni that the best thing would be to turn attreverso the film as Rambo's eyes so that moments of tension and adrenaline still, never a quiet moment if not a few moments here and there as well. And this seemed the best situation and then also the subject of the representation of violence is represented as it is committed in that country. The scene where Rambo rips the throat of the man is not a scene shot exclusively for the purpose of shock the audience. It 'just a kind of reaction and emotional and sexual tension by Rambo that he wants to try to prove what they have done to this woman while trying to rape her and what has been done to prove to all the Burmese women who are been raped. He wants try to make this man the suffering, the pain, the humiliation of being raped. It is not simply the murder itself is not enough, this level of violence is very graphic and very realistic. And it was done to show the public especially the young people what can be a bloody war. Do not forget that wars are those pù violent civilian and not one to the other country. It 's the worst that can perpetrate violence.
Can you clarify the rumors about his participation in the project of Quentin Tarantino, Inglorious Bastards?
I've ever read. People continue to say it, but nno is not true. It 's like a kind of stupid crdo legend but not even that there is a script.
His latest work is set in Burma, a tragedy that the press does not reflect and that is not known. As we approached this issue so hard? In today's world because we need heroes?
I believe that modern heroes are of various sizes and dimensions, not even necessarily have to have muscles heroes nowadays mostly need the heart and brain.
The world knows much of Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, all of these disaster-stricken areas and there are gaps in the world wars that are passed over in silence, which are kept secret, that nobody talks about, so I thought it would be interesting to face a war that has been going on and that has lasted 60 years but was held over in silence . And I also asked "Is this human nature? E 'this is the way in which we are made? And I thought that Rambo was not going to slip, he would not go to fight in a war" famous ", a war known. Rather would go but would return to his personal hell. And I thought that Burma was hell from this point of view. A hell of a war which nobody knows and nobody talks about. At this point the film could serve two masters; by part to educate, make people aware of this horrible situation, which is not known, it is not popular, which is not widespread. Secondly let Rambo to return to this his personal hell, so be sure n entertaining films but at the same time something educational.
What does Rambo in his career?
All of us have a part that is heaven and hell part. The generous side and the altruistic side. The artistic side, creative side and the destructive, nihilistic. The good and bad side. There is also the person we closed, pessimistic, vindictive, evil, that leads to self-destructive war. And I think this can be described as the conscious and unconscious. For me, after all, nowadays I consider it a privilege. I thought it was a bit 'a curse being identified with these two characters, but I think it is a privilege, the possibility of both the pessimistic side of the world that optimistic. The party is a pessimist who is disappointed that this bitter rejection of others but even that optimistic because the world is like that. E 'at 50% and 50% one thing then another and so the possibility of this man who embodies the warrior, who is the eternal soldier trying to return home and then at the bottom to discover that a house is not 'and you do not have it. So the two aspects which are those of loneliness but also the aspect of love.
The Los Angeles Times came out a table that has written an Ohio University professor who has seen all the Rambo movies and did the calculations. He saw that the first, 82 to date there has been a boom of deaths. schemro on. An average of 2.59 is more than you think the world has become more violent, or is the film most in need of action and adrenaline?
For bodycount, body count, since there is an increase in population must try to keep up and maintain the momentum. The idea really is that in a movie where there are fewer deaths and less bodies can be more dramatic as a movie with many deaths can be a film more violent because they kill more and more it seems a silly action movie but in reality it is not. In this film, also I had no choice whereas in Burma, the situation is exactly as I have described, perhaps even worse. There is this strong, big strong violence. For example, a few months ago there was this episode where Buddhist monks were killed, there was talk of 15.20 on the news or maybe 30 people dead, but thousand of monks were made to disappear from the face of this earth and violence is but unfortunately the representation of the ferocity of these people in this situation.
How come there are never any sex scenes in Rambo?
The problem is that he had an accident in etnam where you jumped off something and this is why it has a long knife.
What do you think action movie right now?
action films vary with the personality and the psychology of society. When I was a kid were the films of John Wayne, and those were action movies. Then came my generation, I, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Chuck Norris and the film is enriched to the level of fantasy, has become more fantastic, more Hollywood. Today there is a computer-based generation, advanced technology, this kind generally has become less physical, more physical and based on technology-based computers, the possibilities of special effects. Obviously not want to sound like my father or my grandfather saying "ah, well in my time, my generation were certainly better," I say simply that today is more driven to technology and less on the physical part, there is less need Jason Bourne then this is definitely different from what might be in our times. And 'course I'd like to have that level of technology since the days when you had me do a stunt or a accrobazia was that I'll knock down a tree is not that there were alternatives. Now I create all the computer.
There is a list of the chapters of Rambo in your opinion?
The first is as the first child, maybe even give you some problems but you're stuck in a very strong emotionally. The second in terms of ranking is by far the latter. The second Rambo is very American, full of fantasy with this war fought in Hollywood, very different. The realization of the highest male fantasy background. In the third I tried to do something different, with the Russians who go to fight in Afghanistan. But you must be very careful when you go to do something that has unanatura to do with politics because just two weeks before the film comes to america Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan gives a kiss to Perestroika! I then leave us. And I'm not kidding. Turning the world in Australia I certainly did not boo, I had become an enemy. With this I knew that despite the situation in Burma, even if I shot a film there would be a strata Perestroika for Burma because this is not a war ends or that is resolved with a handshake. Among other things, I must say that I contacted, I do not know anyone, Brima the consulate in Washington because I wanted to go to Burma and they told me there was nothing that was all my own imagination, a fantasy, there was no war. I tried to say that Angelina Jolie is in Iraq, George Clooney in Darfur, I want to go to Burma but they said that was out of her own and was not welcome. You're not welcome. This is to tell you how horrible the situation of war. This film is definitely for me
what gave me greater satisfaction, perhaps just because one thinks like Rambo you can make a difference, doing something, dedicated, you can try to change something. As the soldier that is dedicated to social activities and work for solidarity and try to change the world. Actually no, you're wrong. The only person who can change is yourself. People can change but there is no army and no one who can change the world but only temporarily.
you support John McCain, why? Sees it as a ransom for Rambo, and sees it as his buddy. This will be the last chapter as Rocky? O never say never?
Do not speak of political actors because the actors do not know anything. Plus of course I can express my opinion however that this rate will not move I can guarantee.

Hunterfan Model 44260
INTERVIEW WITH EMILE HIRSCH
How did the collaboration with Eddie Vedder for the music of the film?
Sean Penn: I had in mind Eddie Vedder's music when I wrote the script and I made sure to structure scenes so that the songs were part of the transitions of the film.
It 'was during the filming of the movie, to see what he was doing while she played Chris McCandless Emile, I have identified the function of the voice of Eddie and I knew what I wanted to do with his beautiful songs.
As the plaintiff has identified a so perfect in the part as Emile Hirsch?
Sean Penn Emile had seen him in a movie and there were many things that convinced me in his physical appearance, as a way of moving. I spent some months with him and one of the main points I wanted to be absolutely sure about was that he had the desire and hunger to spend eight months in those circumstances, that he was willing to get involved and it was the best bet I ever did it because I think it is the absolute best person for the part.
What makes her angry today as an artist, as a man and a citizen?
Sean Penn: I think I can find all sorts of things that make me angry today. This is a kind of fuel but I like to think not only on the basis of these reactions that I have my creative inspiration. I tend to use the word "volume" in these cases. When stupidity becomes too loud, this aroused in me a reaction more than anything else.
Have you ever taken a trip of this kind, spiritual in nature and in solitude like that of Chris McCandless? How long the shooting lasted?
Sean Penn: Perhaps my experience may seem closer in some respects to that of the character of Chris is perhaps my life as a surfer on the ocean. But there is nothing that remotely comes to that level. And the other question was? Sorry yesterday I drank too much red wine and go slow. Yes, the shooting lasted eight months.
What attracted you to this story in particular young people and what kind of lesson should come up in your opinion?
Sean Penn: I guess it was too repetitive in this respect but I think that we Americans especially, but in general throughout the Western world, we live in a society that has developed an addiction to comfort and I would like the film provoke reactions these young people to get them to consider the possibility get them out of comfort zone. E 'must perform a change focus from what others tell us to be as we grow and we choose who we want to be really. It 'a rite of passage that leads us to push this limit. I certainly do not recommend to put yourself in danger but we must make our hearts beat faster.
What is the sentiment that has guided at all stages, from choosing the subject director?
Sean Penn: There are two elements that were the anchor, a part of the story is motivated by escape from the corruption of the world, from family life, but the dominant part of the film is in research, in pursuit, find a place that had a link which was in line with what I want to be. So a sort of celebration of freedom, a quest for freedom.
avoided in practice to show you how Chris McCandless as a modern saint, balance defects and quality?
Sean Penn: For me the balance was an important issue to become the real story of Chris McCandless, maintain authenticity without letting it become a martyr or support everything that ever was. It was important to represent it as we see it, and then as we believe that he was. So the element of authenticity is important. In this equilibrium point is not dargliele all won in situations where he acted selfish, immature, thoughtless, reckless, it comes to maintaining the integrity of the elements in the film, at least in the character where the faults are underlined: his humanity, situations courageous love. In fact this is what it is. They are our flaws that make us human. I have not made any effort to avoid excessive emphasis on the holiness or defects. I thought it was interesting for the spectators to allow this character to do everything possible to become what he wants, even with the flaws that are left free to express themselves. In fact you can clearly see in acting with honesty that we can do for the authenticity of the natural world above us, so I did not make any effort either one way or another.
It 'important to make political films nowadays? The man, in your opinion, should get closer to nature?
Sean Penn: It depends. Sometimes these are political films to be well defined. The important films to me are those that express something of interest for the filmmaker, the director when he does. At this time it's easy to see why we are on the rise of political films. As far as being connected with nature are in agreement with Most people who think that nature should be considered a priority for us.
Given what happens to Chris McCandless, who does not fit in your opinion is bound to perish in the words of Darwin ?
Sean Penn: I try to be very careful in their responses to certain questions. I try to respond from the point of view of the public because I am one of the public in some way. So I think we need to free ourselves from the conditioning but none of this would be worth if you do not report what we learned in our community, family and all that surrounds it. It's about being alone but is a value that must be broadened so as to shared.
What kind of support needed to become a director with a personal style?
Sean Penn: I guess in all the films that I made the stubbornness has been my closest friend but this is a rather unique case and other people who are here with me are very important and also the Paramount me very strong from beginning to end, even economically. Bill (Polhad, producer Ed) gave me much support and has had the courage to give me so much support for a film like this even though clearly there would have been all this without Emile. They are very important. They are making good choices with the people we work with.
The film puts an emphasis on family values, how do you see this?
Sean Penn: It 's a difficult one for families, I am not one who believes in the injury of blood, if someone is part of our family we do not have a debt to them. Everything must be earned. Most of us have a tendency to be more tolerant and understanding in these circumstances with people who are not of our blood, so to speak, but the important question in this story is that any child, any person in his own way must be ready to do whatever is necessary to change skin and that includes respect for parents to find out who is really and feel that your life belongs to themselves while you live and I think everyone should do this personal journey during their lives
There is a whole religious inspiration that takes this film and its protagonist. In your opinion, is an attempt to express an act of faith?
Sean Penn: I agree that it is an act of faith, but my job is not to describe something as a religion, the most important thing is the personal aspect of religion beyond that we do so expressed or unexpressed, conscious or unconscious. The important thing is that there is faith.
The film sees Bush's father. It's been fifteen year and time seems to stand still, then there was Iraq and there is still at this time. As she sees it?
Sean Penn: 's true. Bush can tell his father about this: I've been to a concert of Bruce Springsteen and he addressed the audience saying "look how far we have and now we are coming back." These are words that I share.
Emile Hirsch, she is interesting as an actor it was already in Lords of Dogtown. In Into The Wild as he worked on the body?
Emile Hirsch: Into The Wild As far as I had to get fit, I have done many endurance challenges, challenged weather, course, working out, without a diet and this was a true gift. I have always been physical as a person before, but this film also required a level of physicality that I was new. Kayak on the rapids of the Colorado and the Grand Canyon, tuffarmici and everything I did, climbing in Alaska. We came very close to Chris's clothing, clothes but not the real things are very similar and it was cold. I suffered from the cold and heat and even some crew members have felt bad deal.
Sean Penn, which is why she takes part in a movie and what drives her to tell a story?
Sean Penn: The choices have changed as an actor in years, but now I think I fell in love with acting and then directing the choices in these fields are very similar in the way we choose a partner in life, you have to choose well if no one is left in the trap, so to speak.
Emile changed as the nature of your relationship with yourself?
Sean Penn: My perceptions and reactions to nature are different, they are more intense with regard to 'appreciation of it. The joy it gives me the nature, the ideas of exploration, see the enormity of the possibilities. The other side is a huge respect for the danger is always present in nature and when you see up close how fast can precipitate a situation that can be dangerous you can have a different perception of life, as far as my sense of mortality and I think many people can live their lives thinking that will never happen to them something bad but being in close contact with the nature of a slip can end your life or it can leave you in terms of disability so be very careful and take care of themselves in any way rely on themselves in a way.
What is the relationship you had with the family, sister, parents?
Sean Penn: The report has been trusted. We have spent the time to build over 10 years before I would allow it to make a film about their history but are open to me I have hosted at their home, told the story of their son and have been of great help to me
Emile Hirsch: I got to know Walt, Billie, the sister of Chris and I have found them intelligent and kind people. Their knowledge has enlightened me and made me realize who it was Chris. This is what influenced me in 'play the part was feeling the love he had for his sister, discover the heart of love, he speaks as if he were still alive. He has more respect for what you do when you realize that they are real people. I do not know, I know I saw the character differently when I realized that person was.
What about the wonderful interpretation of Hal Holbrook?
Sean Penn: It 's great. Nobody was better than him in doing that part. Not much else to say. My contribution was to have chosen. I said action and he did the rest. I like to feel that his work was appreciated.
by Gianluigi Perrone

He has more respect for what you do when you realize that they are real people. I do not know, I know I saw the character differently when I realized that person was.
What about the wonderful interpretation of Hal Holbrook?
Sean Penn: It 's great. Nobody was better than him in doing that part. Not much else to say. My contribution was to have chosen. I said action and he did the rest. I like to feel that his work was appreciated.

INTERVIEW WITH ROB ZOMBIE
How did the opportunity presented itself to direct Halloween?
Well, it came out so strange. After "The Devil's Rejects "I began to experience a lot of people. I was offered other remakes that I was not interested, other interesting stuff, a lot of proposals. I had a million meetings, I also began to sew on some projects. Then they started to come out of things to which I was not going to be involved. One day I'll get a phone call asking if I wanted to meet Bob Weinstein who was in town, I think for the Golden Globes. Ok, I go there but it's my last. I broke because of encounters never lead to anything. It 's all a series of idle talk. So I go to his hotel and we meet, and he pulls out this history of Halloween. The Dimensions had the rights to Halloween, and he wanted to know my views on Halloween. Not as a remake, in the broadest sense. Essentially, they had Halloween and did not know what to do! I know that they had tried several times to make a movie for Halloween but there were successful, then basically it came to me like that, point blank.
So you had in your hand like a Halloween project, and should be exciting since you're a big fan of the genre, but you were a consequence of having to reinvent Halloween. There was a time when you thought "what a mess I stuck?"
Well, I was not sure at the beginning of wanting to go since I was not anxious to do a remake. I answered "I do not know, I will think." In the sense that I wanted to call them and say no. But I left there and I thought for a couple of weeks. And at some point I began to see her like, "Wait a minute. Why do I assume that is a bad idea? can be an incredible idea. The attitude I'm taking the completely wrong." And I started working on it. Yes, I would. I began to imagine how it could be done. I thought about it I realized that Michael Myers was a great character. And 'one of the few modern icons of horror. There are only 4 or 5. Very rarely reappear and are tabled in the classical way. So I said "fuck, I do this film. It 's a great thing and can be really big."
How much freedom has been given you?
to 100%. I would not have done otherwise. That 's what they wanted. Bob Weinstein said, "We want to take it and do what you want." If there was one thing for which I have always stressed, saying "Make it more Rob Zombie!" (Laughs). Not interested in protecting the franchise ... not created any problems. He wanted to have I started working on it. Again, I was in a very rare situation and so it was hard to say no.
E 'was difficult do? You had a lot of time between HOT1000C and TDR. Halloween was announced in June 2006 and was released in August 2007.
The biggest obstacle was the mistake that I had done ... I've seen Halloween a million times but never thought to make us a remake. So I began to see him again and again and eventually it did more harm than good, starting to fuck with my head because I had the same idea that fans have. How do you do? How can you change this? So I had to stop and think about it and start thinking about my vision. It was not so difficile.E 'was difficult towards the end, because the first part of the film, that is, story of little Michael, was easy because there already. People watch the first movie and says "Oh, it was a normal kid." But we do not really know. Nothing is said about it and we have no evidence to say. It 's just people making speculations on what he sees. So I thought it was fine. It can go so well because it's like a white sheet. And also the story of Dr. Loomis in the early days of Smith's Grove mental hospital was a white sheet. I could do whatever I wanted. It 'was in the third part of the movie when it comes to Haddonfield, which I wanted to include classical elements. But do include other classic elements. The best way that I can describe it to people is that it's like Batman Begins. Keep Wayne House. Keep Batman. Do you want the Batman suit. You probably making Alfred the butler. You keep a lot of things but you'll see a classic product represented in different ways.
What did you want from your cast? From your Loomis, Jaime from your, from your Michael?
The thing that is all I wanted to be realistic and take it seriously. Because one of the problems that sometimes you have ... you know ... the horror fans love horror things. But most of the population not only does not like horror but does not care about anything. Sometimes you have an actor enters the project with the attitude "h, I realized that stuff is. It's going to very good." You know, there are no preconceptions about how states in horror films. And no, I did not want to happen. I want you to read as if it were a true story. Damn serious. A real fact. The entire film has to live and die on the acting. Not about the bad acting and special effects. I want this film to be convincing because you gave a great performance. Not because there's a big guy with a mask that goes around.
E 'was a benefit that many of the cast had never seen Halloween? I know that Malcolm McDowell has never seen the original.
E 'was a good thing because they did not want to imitate what they have seen before, so good ... the original actors do not imitate anything. It was only their fresh perspective on what they should do. If people start to imitate, it becomes strange. Nobody wants to see someone who imitates Donald Pleasence or something. And there is no reason why it should be so because it is a great actor Malcolm McDowell. I wanted McDowell McDowell was not to imitate someone else. For most of the cast had not seen the movie or the first time she had seen him so as to have a vague memory. So it was not a factor.
But Daniel Harris, who not only Halloween but it was also seen in some of the sequel.
Danielle Harris came to light, was not there that day, but in reality I was not convinced to take it because it was in Halloween 4 and 5 and did not see it as a good thing. Indeed as a bad thing. Yes, the fans would be a great thing but I did not want to belittle the film saying, "Hey, look. And 'a nod to pay homage to another film.." I did not want to work that way. It had everything to live and die in this film. But, you know, to its credit, this is the best compliment I can make them saying it was so good that we got even if I did not want to take it. And she knows it. I said this thing many times.
From the outside, the cast is excellent. Did you have someone in mind? O came out with the casting?
A little 'both. I refer to the older actors I wanted. I knew I wanted Tyler (Mane) as Michale Myers. I knew that I wanted Malcolm McDowell, William Forsythe, Dee Wallace. The only girls that I did the casting are the 3 girls, Laurie, Anny, Linda and three children, the young Michael, Tommy Doyle and Lindsey Wallace.Sono the only ones who have come to light. I know what I wanted and I did not have. A boy of 10 years in the head. For the little Michael and Laurie Straude I knew I had to have new faces who were not identified in any other film.
Scout's performance Taylor Compton for what I've heard seems to be really strong.
E 'phenomenal. It 's great. And this is the greatest thing because I really wanted her. They came dozens of people. People recognizable by other things, that it was not people but Scout has always been my first choice. So I fought for it. I wanted her as Laurie Strode, I knew it was perfect.
McDoweel back to Malcolm, I wondered what had brought in more than Whereas it is a great actor.
Malcolm is a strange actor because that vibration is always on him. Even when it's good, seems to be the bad. I do not know. He has an innate image disturbing in itself. But in a pleasant way. Like Clockwork Orange, no matter how bad you think "I like this." What was great at Halloween is that we have created more than one character as the young Loomis is more idealistic. It 'a pediatric psychologist who works with this guy. And I think I picked up the approach with the thing, I tried to take from real life. Vincent Bugliosi is a prosecutor only when he took the Manson case. Now is the world's most famous and this changed his life. It is now forever linked to Charles Manson. Forever. And it was the way I wanted to recreate it. Dr. Loomis crosses his road with Michael before doing anything. It then becomes part of Michael's life, and they are so intertwined in a way that Malcolm begins and ends in another. It starts very idealistic and cynical then becomes such that recognizes that everything he has done is nothing but a failure. It 's interesting to see the evolution of this character.
Donald Pleasence has often said to love the character of Loomis and wanted to continue to interpret it. It feels like Malcolm?
I think Malcolm would do it again. Probably. Seems to have been electrocuted. He has enjoyed every minute. I loved it. It 'was one of the best things the film. I've always loved Malcolm, from A Clockwork Orange, O Lucky Man or If or Caligula or Time After Time, I've always been a big fan. And working with him which is the type cooler than you'll ever meet was great. What more could I ask?
Speaking of actors with an innate disturbing side, what about Brad Dourif? You see for 5 minutes on the set but it is disturbing.
It 's a funny thing. I love to draw people like that. I chose Brad as the sheriff, which is a good person. I called Danny Trejo as a nice person, not as a tough guy. I took Clint Howard as the doctor seriously. Trying to pick people the opposite of what normally is. And Brad is great, what I love that Brad gets so convinced of its performance. It falls completely and we really believe. It is not that comes in and says his lines, he really thinks and see him in the eye. It 'something that is not known on the set, at times, but it's the sort of X factor that only certain actors, and there's just a certain level to what you see in the eye and you receive. This is Brad. Brad is really brilliant. I really appreciated the fact of working with him. Dee Wallace was another with whom I have loved working. I did not want to go away ever. (Laughs) I wanted to continue to push it in the scenes because she is so good. She is another who has made a million movies but she is incredible. It 'was a big party. (Laughs).
Sybil Danning There was also in the cast!
I met her for Grindhouse. Because originally my plan was to have the three Nazi Sheri, Sybil and Diane Thorn (Ilsa) at the Nazi women. But Diane did not want to do that, for some reason. E 'was unfortunate. There I met Sybil. I was already in production for Halloween when I finished doing Werewolf Women. And she said "Oh, if there's anything to do on Halloween, I'd do it. Anything!." And it was only one part, is the nurse in the asylum. It 's a little scene but she has done splendidly (laughs).
Considering how active you are on your MySpace blog, the news were all taken from your blog. You have had some influence on the ideas that you have read on the internet?
were not affected in any way. It could be because people who did not comment on the pious idea of \u200b\u200bwho is speaking. They make comments about a movie that have not seen a movie that has not even been shot yet! So I'm totally useless information, unfortunately. And when I was working on pre-production of the film, I have not looked anything online or anywhere, because I was not interested. Perhè six so confused in what you do, because no matter. The only way to make a film is to have your vision of what you want, and have a unique vision without anything to give a damn what others think. It 's the same thing with the casting. Some people who is in the film, no one wanted me to you took, and I had to fight to get them. It took up to four months, but I would not let that happen. And now that is done, is like "Wow, that guy is awesome. Thank God you have chosen!" Why is it so that he must go. It 's the work of the director, you have to do with the blind and fight and fight.
Someone objected that it would be demystified the character, describing his past ...
I think it's fascinating, I do not think that demystifies the character. First, no one knew what I had done. (Laughs) People have said that he did not want all those explanations. Who said that I had said something? The funny thing about the Internet is that people say "I heard that ..." tick here and 100 people who say because it's a bad idea. But this is not true from the beginning so I am all astray. I mean, about Michale Myers, I did not explain anything. That's the biggest thing about him. I wanted to take a look at his life, but everything that made him so it is completely inexplicable. You can not say "Oh, this has happened then has become so." No, I wanted it to be seen in a situation of low social class because it does not matter if it is raised in a family rich or poor, it is a fucking psycho! The environment does not matter. Friends do not matter because he is a psychopath and I find it interesting. The good guys become bad from good homes - I was interested in doing the same thing that has already been done before. Anyway, that stuff that people have created. In the first Halloween, is that through the first-person view of a clown mask, a boy kills his sister. Go outside, two people enter, one removes the mask and says "Michael?". This is all we know! Are they close? Maybe his father beat him? We do not know anything. None of that movie is just pure speculation put on by the fans. Again, we know nothing. It was my job to fill those holes as it seemed right.
re-tell the story satisfying the purists and those who wanted more, according to your vision.
Yes, and what I thought was fascinating was that or what fascinates me is that we see Dr. Loomis in the original before the shit hits the fan. He has worked with this kid, he failed and now, all he wants is to keep him locked up. Well, I thought it was great to see the Doctor Loomis while he was still optimistic over Michael Myers. And slowly he realizes that it is hopeless. That's why I thought it was great. Donald Pleasence would have mentioned this but we have not seen.
I know, and I always wanted to see it.
A fool in a dressing gown in the rain jumps out and runs away with the car. It 's all we know. The other thing that drives me crazy, I always make comparisons ta movies, but I love the films of John Carpenter. But people think that if I make comparisons is as if you were insulting the film. Not so! I just want to explain what the difference with mine.
Carpenter saw the final product?
No.
How was the dialogue with Carpenter when you started to remake Halloween?
Oh, it was simple. I called the day before the news was announced and I knew the day would end in Variety or something. I have known him for 10 years, or so I called and just said "Hey, look what I wanted to say that I'm also doing this remake of Halloween." And he says "Great! Cool! Go well! Anything else?" (Laughs) 'a man shined. It's just "Cool!"
's music is a Halloween icon as Michael. What you asked for the new theme the composer Tyler Bates?
Tyler was on my same boat, basically. Because music is more iconic than the rest. And we were not sure of anything, because I started to play without music in my head. He had made a few sketches but nothing we had not started a project if not advanced because we were not sure that the issue of Carpenter worked. Why is associated with the movie you've already seen. I thought that watching this film would have seemed out of place. Who knows? Maybe we used all. Even the classic stuff. He rang him and made him very directly. Did not want to make it big, rock, techno or shit like that. We wanted it to sound as if the old type. If something had a strange effect synth we've got some old wreck. We wanted it to sound true. And when he composed music was the same thing. We wanted it to seem as if there was a part of the soundtrack that we had never heard. The theme is really cool.
How did you choose the songs and how you have integrated into the film?
The songs that I have taken do not sound like a soundtrack. It's not like Freebird TDR that sounds like a thematic element. The background songs are all from the radio or something. One thing that I like to make music like that is to make everything real. And I Like that there is no music in the asylum. It 's so sterile. And when Michale comes out in his first, and ends at the truck wash, truck wash where 18-wheeler, in which the character of this altercation with Ken Foree. People wash the trucks and put on music fracassone. And it is as if the world in which it was trapped for 15 years, comes out and explodes in a world of sounds. It was a way to hinder, the isolation in which he lived all these years.
Can you tell us more scenes reshot?
There was a disproportionate. All films have additional scenes filmed on Earth. Sometimes you hear about in Sometimes you come back two days to turn over. Sometimes people come back to run for 8 weeks. Half turns film. We shot six days. We had finished with the film. We did a rough assembly and we did see in New York, and came good. And Bob Weinstein came to me saying "Rob, the movie has come good, we really believe. If there is anything that you have not taken the first time, or you want to add to the film, I'll give the money to do it." And that was it. He never told what to shoot. I have never suggested anything. He only said "if you want to do something to make it better, do you support in everything." And there was something in truth. Making a film is a puzzle with many pieces. And until you can not fake it get to say. "Damn, I wish I had that piece there and that guy.". For TDR, but I have not had this opportunity I had here and I did. One thing I wanted to do was to restructure the time-line of the film. So I took scenes that were filmed in the daytime and at night I stir. Many things I wanted to restore. There are a couple of new things, some people did not seem resolved. One in particular was the character of Danny Trejo. And so it was.
From horror fan, what it's like a remake of the greatest horror film ever made?
Oh, it's completely surreal. Completely surreal. I had a little 'of surreal moments like these in my life. One was over a year ago when I was on stage to play God of Thunder with Ace Frehley. I thought, "It 's so absurd, but I was this loser who adored Kiss in '70 and I'm on stage to do this song." Ace Frehey was on stage with me and others of Kiss playing this song "It 's strange. It' s like a bizarre dream.." Halloween is the same thing. You're on the set to turn Halloween. And I'm in Pasadena in the same streets where Carpenter has turned. It was a strange dream of Halloween. I never lost that feeling and how it was insanely cool.
people consider Halloween a touchy subject. What would you say to fans of the way of doing a remake.
I think so. In my opinion, the remakes are a form of passion and purpose. It 'obvious. How to say "Who do you like more like Dracula? Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee?" I have always said, "Fuck! I love both. They are both fantastic." You know, but you can tell when something is remade for fast money. This is not the case. I really believe it. And being a big fan of the original, and like many people, looking at Michael Myers followed with 7 escalate until you say "Where are we getting there?" I really wanted to take that character and when people see on the screen and says "I've never seen Michael Myers so bad-ass! In 30 years!" It meant a lot to me. I really wanted it to be great. I took it very seriously. People think he did it only for money. No. I could go on tour and do 10 times the money they gave me for the film at the time. It was not a question of money. It was what I wanted to do. And I think when the movie works.
You love these movies. Perhaps for the first time this film was in the hands of someone who loves them.
The fact is that the remake, no matter how good, I am nothing. Nothing can make you love something more original because it's something special for you. This also applies to me. No matter how good the remake of Zombie, will never be so special compared to what I saw in a theater at midnight when I was in high school. It was an explosive experience. It is not an insult to the film, it's just that there is such an emotional baggage tied to the movie for many people. And I agree. This does not mean that they should not be made. If so, Nosferatu is the only version of Dracula that would see for the rest of our lives. There is nothing wrong with it, just do it with the right intent and not to make easy money. That happens often. Do not let us take the piss. Even if 100 remake suck you always have confidence in those who have hope. "Maybe that's what makes everybody happy." To me I do not care nothing about the other film. I tried to do my own good.
The only way to start the series was to give a kick to the past and start all over with someone who really kept us then?
I never did Halloween 9. 9, would be finished on video. What are you doing? On the 8 I would feel like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. A great character once it became a hole in the water for someone. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein or Dracula make a joke. This is what Michael Myers was for me in 8. When Hammer did with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing for you was "Yay!" (Laughs). These are things that made me understand how things were going.
Were you a fan of the whole saga of Halloween?
not I could care less. No. They went over what must have Datta. I thought they would be fired into space. Let them fight with someone else. (Laughs) It becomes ridiculous after a while '! It happens with everything. Ok, I love the shark. With the second I can get along well. At 3, 4 ... what is going on? (Laughs).
You are at peace with Michael Myers or continue with the story? Or leave it where he left Michael Myers?
I finished. No matter how it goes this movie. Even if this was the best film of all time, no turning back. Because I wanted to make one big movie and that's all I wanted to do. The way it works the horror genre, beyond what I did, they would find a way to make the sequel. You know, if we make Michael Myers explode into a thousand pieces, in Part 2 is regenerated by itself. He would end in a government laboratory where they reassemble. (Laughs) The thing that I do not want to do is start a franchise, because that's how it ended badly. It 's so that writing the crap. You just concentrate on making a great movie for everyone, because it is really what matters to everyone. You do not want it to end ready for the second part.
well then hopefully do not make too many sequels ...
They do not even talk. That's what I liked about Bob Weinstein. He wanted to reinvent it without creating something to start a franchise. It was focused on making one big movie. Because if they wanted to do a sequel would be planned now and it is not. This I liked. All the intentions were in the right direction.
This version of the film is your final. There will be a two-disc edition with an alternate version, a director's cut?
You know, the funny thing is that I have not had any problem with the MPAA. We had a R rated very easily. And I was perplexed by this thing. I do not know whether it is due to the huge amount of bloody film that came out that made it seem less violent. I feel that we have given more calm because it was that Michael Myers is a type ... monster. Unlike a man who hurts another man. You can pop the head off a zombie but if you make a normal man is a problem. They have these weird rules. Then they took him to a monster and we have left to lose.
What do you think of movies like Saw, Hostel?
I have not seen many, so I do not have a precise idea. I do not see many movies. (Laughs). I will see them on DVD and then I'll tell you.
What you gonna do now?
take some 'time for me. I will go on tour. Then I will start another film. Now I'm trying to figure out exactly what will be.
How many DVDs you have now?
Ah, I do not know. It should be over 10,000. I recently saw Hot Fuzz. I saw Pan's Labyrinth. When I worked at Halloween I have not seen anything.
not watch movies while speed?
Sometimes you can do to ... Sometimes you see something why are you trying to express an idea to someone else. How to "see this scene here? This is the kind of lighting I am talking about." Often it is only a tool to express an idea to someone else. But after working 8 hours a day, or 12 or 14 or 16 hours a day, certainly not you come home to watch a movie. You're too broke. If I look at something, I watch the dailies.

Malcolm is a strange actor because that vibration is always on him. Even when it's good, seems to be the bad. I do not know. He has an innate image disturbing in itself. But in a pleasant way. Like Clockwork Orange, no matter how bad you think "I like this." What was great at Halloween is that we have created more than one character as the young Loomis is more idealistic. It 'a pediatric psychologist who works with this guy. And I think I picked up the approach with the thing, I tried to take from real life. Vincent Bugliosi is a prosecutor only when he took the Manson case. Now is the world's most famous and this changed his life. It is now forever linked to Charles Manson. Forever. And it was the way I wanted to recreate it. Dr. Loomis crosses his road with Michael before doing anything. It then becomes part of Michael's life, and they are so intertwined in a way that Malcolm begins and ends in another. It starts very idealistic and cynical then becomes such that recognizes that everything he has done is nothing but a failure. It 's interesting to see the evolution of this character.
Donald Pleasence has often said to love the character of Loomis and wanted to continue to interpret it. It feels like Malcolm?
I think Malcolm would do it again. Probably. Seems to have been electrocuted. He has enjoyed every minute. I loved it. It 'was one of the best things the film. I've always loved Malcolm, from A Clockwork Orange, O Lucky Man or If or Caligula or Time After Time, I've always been a big fan. And working with him which is the type cooler than you'll ever meet was great. What more could I ask?
Speaking of actors with an innate disturbing side, what about Brad Dourif? You see for 5 minutes on the set but it is disturbing.
It 's a funny thing. I love to draw people like that. I chose Brad as the sheriff, which is a good person. I called Danny Trejo as a nice person, not as a tough guy. I took Clint Howard as the doctor seriously. Trying to pick people the opposite of what normally is. And Brad is great, what I love that Brad gets so convinced of its performance. It falls completely and we really believe. It is not that comes in and says his lines, he really thinks and see him in the eye. It 'something that is not known on the set, at times, but it's the sort of X factor that only certain actors, and there's just a certain level to what you see in the eye and you receive. This is Brad. Brad is really brilliant. I really appreciated the fact of working with him. Dee Wallace was another with whom I have loved working. I did not want to go away ever. (Laughs) I wanted to continue to push it in the scenes because she is so good. She is another who has made a million movies but she is incredible. It 'was a big party. (Laughs).
Sybil Danning There was also in the cast!
I met her for Grindhouse. Because originally my plan was to have the three Nazi Sheri, Sybil and Diane Thorn (Ilsa) at the Nazi women. But Diane did not want to do that, for some reason. E 'was unfortunate. There I met Sybil. I was already in production for Halloween when I finished doing Werewolf Women. And she said "Oh, if there's anything to do on Halloween, I'd do it. Anything!." And it was only one part, is the nurse in the asylum. It 's a little scene but she has done splendidly (laughs).
Considering how active you are on your MySpace blog, the news were all taken from your blog. You have had some influence on the ideas that you have read on the internet?
were not affected in any way. It could be because people who did not comment on the pious idea of \u200b\u200bwho is speaking. They make comments about a movie that have not seen a movie that has not even been shot yet! So I'm totally useless information, unfortunately. And when I was working on pre-production of the film, I have not looked anything online or anywhere, because I was not interested. Perhè six so confused in what you do, because no matter. The only way to make a film is to have your vision of what you want, and have a unique vision without anything to give a damn what others think. It 's the same thing with the casting. Some people who is in the film, no one wanted me to you took, and I had to fight to get them. It took up to four months, but I would not let that happen. And now that is done, is like "Wow, that guy is awesome. Thank God you have chosen!" Why is it so that he must go. It 's the work of the director, you have to do with the blind and fight and fight.
Someone objected that it would be demystified the character, describing his past ...
I think it's fascinating, I do not think that demystifies the character. First, no one knew what I had done. (Laughs) People have said that he did not want all those explanations. Who said that I had said something? The funny thing about the Internet is that people say "I heard that ..." tick here and 100 people who say because it's a bad idea. But this is not true from the beginning so I am all astray. I mean, about Michale Myers, I did not explain anything. That's the biggest thing about him. I wanted to take a look at his life, but everything that made him so it is completely inexplicable. You can not say "Oh, this has happened then has become so." No, I wanted it to be seen in a situation of low social class because it does not matter if it is raised in a family rich or poor, it is a fucking psycho! The environment does not matter. Friends do not matter because he is a psychopath and I find it interesting. The good guys become bad from good homes - I was interested in doing the same thing that has already been done before. Anyway, that stuff that people have created. In the first Halloween, is that through the first-person view of a clown mask, a boy kills his sister. Go outside, two people enter, one removes the mask and says "Michael?". This is all we know! Are they close? Maybe his father beat him? We do not know anything. None of that movie is just pure speculation put on by the fans. Again, we know nothing. It was my job to fill those holes as it seemed right.
re-tell the story satisfying the purists and those who wanted more, according to your vision.
Yes, and what I thought was fascinating was that or what fascinates me is that we see Dr. Loomis in the original before the shit hits the fan. He has worked with this kid, he failed and now, all he wants is to keep him locked up. Well, I thought it was great to see the Doctor Loomis while he was still optimistic over Michael Myers. And slowly he realizes that it is hopeless. That's why I thought it was great. Donald Pleasence would have mentioned this but we have not seen.
I know, and I always wanted to see it.
A fool in a dressing gown in the rain jumps out and runs away with the car. It 's all we know. The other thing that drives me crazy, I always make comparisons ta movies, but I love the films of John Carpenter. But people think that if I make comparisons is as if you were insulting the film. Not so! I just want to explain what the difference with mine.
Carpenter saw the final product?
No.
How was the dialogue with Carpenter when you started to remake Halloween?
Oh, it was simple. I called the day before the news was announced and I knew the day would end in Variety or something. I have known him for 10 years, or so I called and just said "Hey, look what I wanted to say that I'm also doing this remake of Halloween." And he says "Great! Cool! Go well! Anything else?" (Laughs) 'a man shined. It's just "Cool!"
's music is a Halloween icon as Michael. What you asked for the new theme the composer Tyler Bates?
Tyler was on my same boat, basically. Because music is more iconic than the rest. And we were not sure of anything, because I started to play without music in my head. He had made a few sketches but nothing we had not started a project if not advanced because we were not sure that the issue of Carpenter worked. Why is associated with the movie you've already seen. I thought that watching this film would have seemed out of place. Who knows? Maybe we used all. Even the classic stuff. He rang him and made him very directly. Did not want to make it big, rock, techno or shit like that. We wanted it to sound as if the old type. If something had a strange effect synth we've got some old wreck. We wanted it to sound true. And when he composed music was the same thing. We wanted it to seem as if there was a part of the soundtrack that we had never heard. The theme is really cool.
How did you choose the songs and how you have integrated into the film?
The songs that I have taken do not sound like a soundtrack. It's not like Freebird TDR that sounds like a thematic element. The background songs are all from the radio or something. One thing that I like to make music like that is to make everything real. And I Like that there is no music in the asylum. It 's so sterile. And when Michale comes out in his first, and ends at the truck wash, truck wash where 18-wheeler, in which the character of this altercation with Ken Foree. People wash the trucks and put on music fracassone. And it is as if the world in which it was trapped for 15 years, comes out and explodes in a world of sounds. It was a way to hinder, the isolation in which he lived all these years.
Can you tell us more scenes reshot?
There was a disproportionate. All films have additional scenes filmed on Earth. Sometimes you hear about in Sometimes you come back two days to turn over. Sometimes people come back to run for 8 weeks. Half turns film. We shot six days. We had finished with the film. We did a rough assembly and we did see in New York, and came good. And Bob Weinstein came to me saying "Rob, the movie has come good, we really believe. If there is anything that you have not taken the first time, or you want to add to the film, I'll give the money to do it." And that was it. He never told what to shoot. I have never suggested anything. He only said "if you want to do something to make it better, do you support in everything." And there was something in truth. Making a film is a puzzle with many pieces. And until you can not fake it get to say. "Damn, I wish I had that piece there and that guy.". For TDR, but I have not had this opportunity I had here and I did. One thing I wanted to do was to restructure the time-line of the film. So I took scenes that were filmed in the daytime and at night I stir. Many things I wanted to restore. There are a couple of new things, some people did not seem resolved. One in particular was the character of Danny Trejo. And so it was.
From horror fan, what it's like a remake of the greatest horror film ever made?
Oh, it's completely surreal. Completely surreal. I had a little 'of surreal moments like these in my life. One was over a year ago when I was on stage to play God of Thunder with Ace Frehley. I thought, "It 's so absurd, but I was this loser who adored Kiss in '70 and I'm on stage to do this song." Ace Frehey was on stage with me and others of Kiss playing this song "It 's strange. It' s like a bizarre dream.." Halloween is the same thing. You're on the set to turn Halloween. And I'm in Pasadena in the same streets where Carpenter has turned. It was a strange dream of Halloween. I never lost that feeling and how it was insanely cool.
people consider Halloween a touchy subject. What would you say to fans of the way of doing a remake.
I think so. In my opinion, the remakes are a form of passion and purpose. It 'obvious. How to say "Who do you like more like Dracula? Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee?" I have always said, "Fuck! I love both. They are both fantastic." You know, but you can tell when something is remade for fast money. This is not the case. I really believe it. And being a big fan of the original, and like many people, looking at Michael Myers followed with 7 escalate until you say "Where are we getting there?" I really wanted to take that character and when people see on the screen and says "I've never seen Michael Myers so bad-ass! In 30 years!" It meant a lot to me. I really wanted it to be great. I took it very seriously. People think he did it only for money. No. I could go on tour and do 10 times the money they gave me for the film at the time. It was not a question of money. It was what I wanted to do. And I think when the movie works.
You love these movies. Perhaps for the first time this film was in the hands of someone who loves them.
The fact is that the remake, no matter how good, I am nothing. Nothing can make you love something more original because it's something special for you. This also applies to me. No matter how good the remake of Zombie, will never be so special compared to what I saw in a theater at midnight when I was in high school. It was an explosive experience. It is not an insult to the film, it's just that there is such an emotional baggage tied to the movie for many people. And I agree. This does not mean that they should not be made. If so, Nosferatu is the only version of Dracula that would see for the rest of our lives. There is nothing wrong with it, just do it with the right intent and not to make easy money. That happens often. Do not let us take the piss. Even if 100 remake suck you always have confidence in those who have hope. "Maybe that's what makes everybody happy." To me I do not care nothing about the other film. I tried to do my own good.
The only way to start the series was to give a kick to the past and start all over with someone who really kept us then?
I never did Halloween 9. 9, would be finished on video. What are you doing? On the 8 I would feel like Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. A great character once it became a hole in the water for someone. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein or Dracula make a joke. This is what Michael Myers was for me in 8. When Hammer did with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing for you was "Yay!" (Laughs). These are things that made me understand how things were going.
Were you a fan of the whole saga of Halloween?
not I could care less. No. They went over what must have Datta. I thought they would be fired into space. Let them fight with someone else. (Laughs) It becomes ridiculous after a while '! It happens with everything. Ok, I love the shark. With the second I can get along well. At 3, 4 ... what is going on? (Laughs).
You are at peace with Michael Myers or continue with the story? Or leave it where he left Michael Myers?
I finished. No matter how it goes this movie. Even if this was the best film of all time, no turning back. Because I wanted to make one big movie and that's all I wanted to do. The way it works the horror genre, beyond what I did, they would find a way to make the sequel. You know, if we make Michael Myers explode into a thousand pieces, in Part 2 is regenerated by itself. He would end in a government laboratory where they reassemble. (Laughs) The thing that I do not want to do is start a franchise, because that's how it ended badly. It 's so that writing the crap. You just concentrate on making a great movie for everyone, because it is really what matters to everyone. You do not want it to end ready for the second part.
well then hopefully do not make too many sequels ...
They do not even talk. That's what I liked about Bob Weinstein. He wanted to reinvent it without creating something to start a franchise. It was focused on making one big movie. Because if they wanted to do a sequel would be planned now and it is not. This I liked. All the intentions were in the right direction.
This version of the film is your final. There will be a two-disc edition with an alternate version, a director's cut?
You know, the funny thing is that I have not had any problem with the MPAA. We had a R rated very easily. And I was perplexed by this thing. I do not know whether it is due to the huge amount of bloody film that came out that made it seem less violent. I feel that we have given more calm because it was that Michael Myers is a type ... monster. Unlike a man who hurts another man. You can pop the head off a zombie but if you make a normal man is a problem. They have these weird rules. Then they took him to a monster and we have left to lose.
What do you think of movies like Saw, Hostel?
I have not seen many, so I do not have a precise idea. I do not see many movies. (Laughs). I will see them on DVD and then I'll tell you.
What you gonna do now?
take some 'time for me. I will go on tour. Then I will start another film. Now I'm trying to figure out exactly what will be.
How many DVDs you have now?
Ah, I do not know. It should be over 10,000. I recently saw Hot Fuzz. I saw Pan's Labyrinth. When I worked at Halloween I have not seen anything.
not watch movies while speed?
Sometimes you can do to ... Sometimes you see something why are you trying to express an idea to someone else. How to "see this scene here? This is the kind of lighting I am talking about." Often it is only a tool to express an idea to someone else. But after working 8 hours a day, or 12 or 14 or 16 hours a day, certainly not you come home to watch a movie. You're too broke. If I look at something, I watch the dailies.
