Ngokususelwa kunoveli kaStephen King yango-1981, ifilimu ka-1983 enenja eyethusayo UCujo kwakungomunye wezinguquko ezintathu zeKing movie ezafika kuleyo minyaka. UCujo wajoyinwa ngu Christine, kanye ne-King best adaptation film kule minyaka eyishumi, Uhlu Lokufa. Ukuphumelela kwehhovisi lebhokisi elincane, UCujo iye, njengamafilimu amaningi kakhulu ohlobo kusukela ngawo-1980, yajabulela umdlandla phakathi nemidlalo yayo yangemva komdlalo waseshashalazini, eye yahlala ngaphezu kwengxenye yesithathu yekhulu leminyaka.

Manje umbhali nesazi-mlando sefilimu uLee Gambin ubhale incwadi, enesihloko esithi Nope, Akukho Okungahambi Lapha: Ukwenziwa kweCujo, echaza ukwenziwa kwefilimu. Ngibe nethuba lokukhuluma noGambin ngezizathu zakhe zokubhala le ncwadi, ezoshicilelwa ngu I-BearManor Media. Incwadi ingahle ihlelwe kusengaphambili kuwebhusayithi yomshicileli.

DG: Yini ekugqugquzele ukuthi ubhale incwadi ngokwenziwa kwefilimu UCujo?

I-LG: Bengihlala ngiyithanda ifilimu - nencwadi. Nginomuzwa wokuthi ibhayisikobho iyisithombe esinyakazayo esenziwe kahle, esiqinile, esiqinile futhi ngaphezulu kwalokho, into eyodwa engiyithanda kakhulu ngayo, ubunzima bayo obufihlwe ngaphakathi kwendaba eqonde ngqo ngokukhohlisa "elula". Bengifuna ukuhlola zonke izici zalokhu encwadini, futhi ngaphezulu kwalokho ngithole konke mayelana nokukhiqizwa. Futhi, umsebenzi omningi engangiwenzile oholela ekuqaliseni umsebenzi encwadini wawunokuthinta UCujo. Isibonelo, ngabhala incwadi ngama-eco-horror movie abizwa ngokuthi Kubulawa Ngumama Wemvelo: Ukuhlola ifilimu ye-Natural Horror, nokuthi ngibhala ku UCujo. Futhi-ke kwakukhona / ukuxhumana kwami ​​noDee Wallace - ngezinsuku zokuqala kakhulu zokukhipha ibhuku engangilisebenza noDee njengengxenye yeMonster Fest lapha eMelbourne. Ngakho-ke lezi zinto zonke zisize ukuvula indlela yokusebenza kule ncwadi okuwukuhlola okuphelele kwifilimu - kusuka kumbono "wokwenza" nge-engeli yezemfundo futhi.

DG: Lwaluyini uhlelo lwakho lokubhala lencwadi, futhi lokhu kwavela kanjani futhi kwavela njengoba wawungena ujula enqubeni yokubhala?

I-LG: Ngangisanda kuqeda incwadi ekhuluma ngokwenziwa kwe- Ukuhewula, futhi lokho kuchaze ngempela ukuthi ngizoqala kanjani ukubhala incwadi UCujo. Indlela engakheke ngayo Ukuhewula ibhuku bekufanele lihambele indawo yesehlakalo futhi lihlanganise izingcaphuno ezivela kwinani elikhulu lengxoxo engilitholile. Nginqume ukuthi le bekuyindlela enhle okufanele ngiyenze - ukusabalalisa nokuhlolisisa ngokucophelela ukwakheka okulandisayo, izithako ezinengqikithi, umlingiswa kanye nezimfanelo eziqanjiwe zefilimu kanye nokunikeza izwi kubantu abasebenza kule filimu. UCujo isethwe kahle ngendlela efanayo.

DG: Ziyini izingqikithi ze- UCujo obufuna ukuyihlola ngale ncwadi?

I-LG: Kunezindikimba eziningi kakhulu ezingalukiwe ngaphakathi kwendwangu ye- UCujo - kunomqondo wokuphazamiseka emvelweni, iziyaluyalu zasekhaya, ukungathembeki, amandla abantu, ukuzihlukanisa, Izinsuku Ezintathu Zobumnyama, i-archetype "yowesifazane osesiphepho", ukuhlengwa, i-monster ecatshangelwe futhi engokoqobo. Ngiqonde ukuthi, le filimu inokujula nokuhlakanipha okuningi, futhi kuningi okungahlolwa. Ngaphandle kwakho konke lokho, kunezinqwaba zezingxoxo ezingagunci futhi eziphanayo, ngakho-ke into yokukhiqiza encwadini inkulu kakhulu. Ngizizwa ngempela ukuthi lokhu kungukugcina ekwenzeni izincwadi - ngiyaziqhenya ngakho. Ngizamile impela ukuthi angishiyi nelilodwa itshe.

DG: Iyiphi inselelo enkulu ekubhaleni le ncwadi?

I-LG: Iqiniso lokuthi bebebaningi abantu abangasenathi obekungamangaza ukubakhona. Isibonelo, umbhali wesikrini uBarbara Turner wadlula inyanga ngaphambi kokuba ngiqale ukusebenza encwadini (njengokuqoqa izingxoxo), futhi lokho kwakudabukisa ngoba wayebaluleke kakhulu. Futhi, umhleli, uNeil Machlis, owenza lo msebenzi oncomekayo, akasaphili, ngakho-ke bekungamangaza ukuthola umbono wakhe. Kepha ngizwa izingxoxo ezingaphezulu kwamashumi amathathu nenqwaba yabakwa-Cujo alumni ziphilile ukusho okuncane!

DG: Ubani owaxoxisana naye ngale ncwadi?

I-LG: UDee Wallace, uLewis Teague, uDanny Pintauro, uDaniel Hugh Kelly - abantu abaningi. UGary Morgan ungumxoxi wezindaba omuhle; wayengumuntu ogqoke isudi yenja! Futhi uTeresa Ann Miller wabelane ngezindaba zikayise, umqeqeshi wezilwane uKarl Lewis Miller, ngakho-ke bekumnandi ukuzwa konke ngeSt. Bernards esetshenziselwe ifilimu. URobert noKathy Clark baphakathi lapho, futhi bebeyingxenye yeqembu le-SFX, ngakho-ke kukhona izinto ezinhle kakhulu ezikhuluma ngenja ye-animatronic, ikhanda lopopayi, ikhanda lenja elizosetshenziselwa ukungena emnyango wePinto nokunye okuningi. Ngiphinde ngabuza abantu abanjengonina kaDanny Pintauro, obehleli ngaso sonke isikhathi, abantu abathintekayo kule filimu ngaphambi kokuba uLewis Teague afike ebhodini njengomphathi owabelwe uPeter Medak (okuqala ngqa ukukhuluma ngalokhu) futhi wakhe DOP Tony Richmond. Kunabantu abaningi lapha.

DG: Ake ungitshele okuthile ngefilimu ebengingeke ngiyazi ngaphandle kokuthi ngifunde le ncwadi?

I-LG: O kunezinto eziningi enginesiqiniseko sokuthi nomlandeli onzima kakhulu ngeke azi. Into engimangaze kakhulu ukuthi bekukhona indawo esusiwe umlingisi uRobert Craighead akhulume nami ngayo. Kwenzeka nje ngaphambi kokuba umlingiswa kaKaiulani Lee atshele u-Ed Lauter ukuthi uwine iLotto nezikhathi ngaphambi kokuba u-Ed athole injini iphakamisa egalaji lakhe. UCraighead udlala owesilisa odilivayo yena, nozakwabo, abawela emshinini, bahlangane noCujo ocasukile oqaqa abesabise. Lokhu kungaphambi kokuba igciwane lesifo samarabi libambe iqatha elibi, ngakho-ke usadidekile yikho konke. UCraighead ungitshele ukuthi uLewis Teague wayecabanga ukuthi lesi sigcawu sasidlalela “ukukhanya”, nokuthi sizophonsa izethameli, sikubona lokho UCujo ifilimu eqonde kangaka enethoni eqinile engashintshi. Indawo yesehlakalo uCraighead nomlingani wakhe bebaleka ngesivinini esikhulu elolini labo lokulethwa, omunye wabo ephekula inyoni ibheke eSt Bernard. Nginokuthula okuhle okuvela kuyo okuzofakwa encwadini.

DG: Lee, uma ubheka emuva ekubhalweni kwale ncwadi, ngabe kukhona inkumbulo eyodwa - noma i-anecdote eyodwa oyinikezwe ngesihloko sengxoxo - lokho kugqama emqondweni wakho lapho ukhumbula le nqubo?

I-LG: Umbuzo omuhle - kepha ngokwethembeka konke, iningi lababuzwe imibuzo linikeze ukuqonda okumangalisayo okuzohlala nami kuze kube phakade. Into eyodwa okufanele ngiyisho okusho lukhulu kimi iqiniso lokuthi ngandlela thile, ngivale igebe leminyaka engamashumi amathathu kanye naphakathi kukaPeter Medak noLewis Teague. UMedak ungitshele ukuthi wenqabile ukubukela ifilimu ngemuva kokuxoshwa kwakhe kule phrojekthi (le kwakuyiyona kuphela ifilimu ake waxoshwa kuyo - wayehambile kumabhayisikobho afana namaphrojekthi amakhulu ahlanganisa ukuthandwa nguBarbra Streisand noSean Connery, kodwa lokhu waba ngowokuqala ukuxoshwa kuye). Kodwa-ke kusihlwa ngaphambi kokuba ngixoxe naye, wayibuka le filimu futhi wahlabeka umxhwele ngokuphelele. Ngesikhathi ngikhuluma naye, wathi angidlulisele ukuhalalisela uLewis Teague. Ngikwenzile lokhu, kepha ngenze okunye. Ngabazisa laba bantu ababili, futhi yonke intukuthelo yabekwa emuva kwayo yonke le minyaka. Kwakukhetheke kakhulu.

DG: Lee, uma ngicabanga UCujo, Ngicabanga ngesixuku se-Stephen King esivumelwaneni sefilimu esivela ekuqaleni kwawo-1980. UCujo kwakungomunye wezinguquko ezintathu zeNkosi ezakhishwa ngo-1983, kanye ne- Christine, futhi-ke, Uhlu Lokufa, abaningi, kuhlanganise nami uqobo, abakholelwa ukuthi kungenye yezindlela ezihamba phambili ze-King film adaptations. Umbuzo: Ucabanga ukuthi ubeka ini UCujo ngaphandle kokunye ukuguquguquka kwefilimu kweNkosi kusuka ngalesi sikhathi?

I-LG: Ngu-1983 - kwaba unyaka omuhle kakhulu wokulungiswa kweNkosi, impela. Kwakunabaqondisi abathathu abasezingeni eliphezulu abasebenza kulawa mafilimu - uJohn Carpenter, uDavid Cronenberg, no-Lewis Teague - kanye nababambisene nabo abahle kakhulu kwifilimu ngayinye enjengeDebra Hill noDee Wallace njll. Kodwa into ehlukanisayo UCujo kusuka kumafilimu afana Christine futhi The Indawo Efile iqiniso lokuthi yifilimu ethusayo esekwe empeleni. UCujo ingenye yezindaba ezingavamile zikaStephen King (Usizi ifika engqondweni futhi) engathembeli kokwethusayo okungaphezu kwemvelo - ayikho intsha ye-telekinetic noma indlu ehaunted noma ama-vampire noma izimoto ezibulalayo. Esikhundleni salokho kumane kuyindaba engowesifazane obanjwe yisimo sakhe uqobo bese ekugcineni ebanjwa ngumpondo onamakhulu amabili waseSt. Bernard.

DG: Lee, ngaphandle kwezingxoxo zakho, yiziphi izinto oziqoqele le ncwadi, okuyizithombe, futhi wakuthola kanjani konke lokhu?

I-LG: Ucwaningo oluningi lwalubandakanyekile, kepha iningi lalo kwakuyicala lokuthola izinto kwababuzwayo uqobo.

DG: Lee, konke ukukhiqizwa kwamafilimu kunendaba, ukungqubuzana okukhulu noma isigqi esichaze ukwenziwa kwefilimu. Umbuzo: Sasinjani isimo ngesikhathi sokuqopha, phakathi kwabalingisi nabasebenzi, futhi ngabe kukhona yini ukungqubuzana okukhulu okwavela ngesikhathi sokuqoshwa?

I-LG: I-Cujo yayiyihlumela eliyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Kube khona ukungezwani, izimpikiswano, ukungaxhumani kahle okuningi nobutha. Kodwa-ke, ku-flipside yalokho, kwakukhona uthando oluningi, ukwesekwa, ubumbano, ukunakekelwa, ububele nobunye. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuya ngokuthi ubuza kubani! Ababuzwa abaningi babonakala benenkinga nge-DOP Jan de Bont - ongakaze aphendule izicelo, ngakho-ke umuntu othile ulahlekile encwadini. Kwakumangalisa ukuzwa kuzo zombili izinhlangothi zempikiswano nokuzwa ukuthi abantu abahlukene bathanda kanjani ukusebenza - ngokwesibonelo, uDaniel Hugh Kelly wayekuzonda ukuthi ukulingiswa kukaBarbara Turner kwakudonselwa eceleni ngenxa yokubhala kabusha kukaDon Carlos Dunaway, kanti uDee Wallace wakhetha “ kuncane kakhulu ”indlela yefilimu maqondana nesici sengxoxo.

DG: Lee, ngabe bekunomcabango othile owanikezwa wokubulala umlingiswa we-Tad kule filimu, ngokuhambisana nencwadi, futhi ngabe kukhona ezinye izinto zezindaba ezalahlwa ngaphambi kokuqala kokuthwebula?

I-LG: UDee Wallace wayenokufaka okuningi kokulingisa kulo mkhiqizo futhi othile ophanayo futhi oqondayo njengoLewis Teague wakuthatha lokhu. Enye yalezo zinto kwaba ukubulawa kukaTad. Wayenenkani yokuthi ingane ingafi, kanti noStephen King uqobo wavuma. Umbhalo wakhe wokuqala we-screenplay wayenoTad wasinda ekuvinjelweni. Ngokuphathelene nezinye izinto zezindaba, bekukhona ezimbili ezilahliwe - esisodwa kwakuyisixhumanisi phakathi Uhlu Lokufa futhi UCujo lapho inja "izothathwa" njengokuphindukuzalwa komlingiswa kaFrank Dodd (umbulali ku Uhlu Lokufa). Lokhu kudlalwe ngakho futhi kwahlelwa nguBarbara Turner embhalweni wakhe we-screenplay. UPeter Medak wawuthanda lo mbono. Bobabili basebenze emiqondweni ndawonye.

Ukuboniswa kwe-Turner ngakho-ke kuzoba nento engaphezulu kwemvelo kuyo. Lokhu yinto uTeague ayengayilahla ngokuphelele lapho ethatha ifilimu. Ngesikhathi uMedak exoshwa, uTurner waphatheka kabi kakhulu kangangokuba watshela istudiyo ukuthi asishintshe igama lakhe kumakhredithi abe nguLauren Currier, futhi nomsebenzi wakhe esiqeshaneni esingaphezu kwemvelo washiywa ngokuphelele. Kodwa-ke, konke ukulandelana kokuvinjezelwa konke ukubhala kwakhe.

Isici sesibili esikhulu sendaba esenziwe i-miniscule kwifilimu yokugcina kwaba ubudlelwano phakathi kuka-Ed Lauter nabalingiswa bakaKaiulani Lee - uJoe noCharity Camber. Futhi bekukhona izinto ekuqaleni lapho ezibandakanya ukwesaba okusanhlamvu nokunye. Kepha yebo, ifilimu yaqina kakhulu ekubulaweni kokugcina.

DG: Ekugcineni, Lee, ithini indaba yale ncwadi, umbono ocabanga ukuthi abafundi bazosala nawo, maqondana nefilimu, ukwenziwa kwefilimu, nesikhathi esenziwa ngaso?

I-LG: Ngicabanga ukuthi noma ngubani onentshisekelo kumlando wefilimu uzothanda ukuzwa izindaba zisethwe. Ngicabanga ukuthi ukufingqa okumangazayo kwemizwa exubile kanye nesibonelo esiphelele senqubo yokudala, ulwazi lokudala, nokuthi abaculi bakha kanjani uphawu.

Ngaphambi koku-oda Nope, Akukho Okungahambi Lapha: Ukwenziwa kweCujo lapha.
