iHorror: Ngokususelwa ekhasini lakho le-IMDb, akubukeki sengathi ubhale umbhalo ngesikhathi esithile. Ngabe lokhu kunembile?

UVictor Miller: Akunjalo.

Ukubhala kunesizungu kakhulu ukuthi kungashiyelwa isenzo sedwa.

iH: Ushilo esikhathini esedlule ukuthi awuyena umlandeli wohlobo olwesabekayo. Ingabe lokho kushintshile? Yini ekwenze wanquma ukubuyela ekubhalweni kweskripthi esishaqisayo futhi wazibandakanya kanjani nakho Rock Paper Dead?

I-VM: Uhlu lwethu lwabalingisi luzobe lukhona ngakho-ke ngeke ngivuze lutho okwamanje. Ukukhishwa kusemsebenzini.

iH: Ngifunde ukuthi uHarry Manfredini unamathiselwe ukwenza amaphuzu. Ungakuqinisekisa lokhu?

I-VM: Yebo. Kungani umuntu osengqondweni yakhe efanele afinyelele komunye umqambi wesikrini? Mina noHarry singabangani abakhulu futhi inhlonipho yami ngethalente lakhe ikhule kuphela kusukela lapho ULwesihlanu i-13th.

iH: Ngisanda kukubuka ngamafuphi kaNathan Erdel Akwamukelekile. Lokhu kubukeke njengendawo engahleliwe ongaphuma kuyo. Yini edonse isithakazelo sakho kulowo msebenzi?

I-VM: Ngiyakuthanda ukuqhamuka ezindaweni. Angikholwa ukuthi ngenqabe isicelo sanoma ngubani sokwenza okuncane. Ngiyaziqhenya ngokudlala ngomthengisi omubi we-meth kwifilimu yokuqasha iPan San Jose (CA) PD eqenjini labo le-SWAT. Ngithathe umhlalaphansi futhi ngiyakuthanda ukubonakala okuncane.

 iH: Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi uyaqonda ukuthi ngabe ngenza abafundi bami (kanye nami uqobo) uma ngingakubuzanga okuthile Friday owesi-13imibuzo ehlobene. Ngemuva kwakho konke, ubhale enye yamafilimu ohlobo olwesabekayo kakhulu.

Ngifunde ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi awuzange uziqhenye kakhuluCarrie”Isitayela siphela. Ingabe lokho kushintshile?

VM: Angikaze ngithi angiziqhenyi ngakho; kungenxa nje yokuthi iyingqophamlando futhi nokho icishe ifane nokuphela kwe- Carrie. Kusebenzele Carrie futhi kusisebenzele ngempela. Kunezinye izinto zangempela ku-screenplay engiziqhenya kakhulu ngazo konke… njengawo wonke umsebenzi kaTom Savini.

iH: Ukhulume ngokuba nemibono yezinye izilungiselelo ze Friday ngaphambi kokuzinza ekamu lasehlobo. Ngabe kukhona abanye obeseqale ukubakhipha emqondweni wakho noma ephepheni?

I-VM: Nganginamakhasi okungenani amabili wezindawo ezingaba khona. Angiqalanga lutho kuze kube yilapho mina noSean sivumelana ngendawo yethu. Lapho ngithi "Ikamu lasehlobo ngaphambi kokuthi livule" wathi yebo ngahamba.

iH: Ingabe intombazane yaseVan Voorhees uthole igama kumuntu owawunobudlelwano obuhle noma obungebuhle naye?

iH: Ukhulume ngokuthi ekuqaleni kunokwengeziwe ebudlelwaneni obuphakathi kukaSteve no-Alice. Ungachaza kabanzi ukuthi lokho bekuyofaka ini? Yiziphi izigcawu ezithile ongazikhumbula?

VM: Uyadlala, akunjalo? 1979 futhi ufuna ngikhumbule izigcawu ezingakaze zikwenze esikrinini? Njengeminyaka engama-35 edlule? Angikhumbuli nakancane engangikudle ngesidlo sasemini izolo. Ukube bengingazifunda namuhla ngingahle ngibe namahloni ngoba ngifunde i-helluva lot kuyo yonke leyo minyaka. (Futhi: khumbula ukuthi ngangisebenza kwi-IBM Selectric nephepha. USean wayenokopisha kuphela. Angizange ngigcine noma yini eyahlelwa.)

iH: Ku Izinkumbulo ZaseCrystal Lake, wabelana nge-anecdote mayelana nokubuka Friday nezithameli nokuthi wawumakhaza kanjani umsindo wabo bonke abantu ababememeza ekugcineni. Ubeka kuphi lowo mzuzu ohlwini lwakho lwemicimbi yokuphila ejabulisayo?

I-VM: Ngaphezulu lapho ngibe emaqenjini amathathu okubhala WONKE IZINGANE ZAMI ngenkathi sihamba no-3 Emmy kanye nendawo ethile ngemuva kwama-50 ami^thusuku lokukhumbula umshado nokuzalwa kwamadodana ami amabili nomzukulu wami oyedwa.

Lapha ubekhipha ikheli lomuntu wesifazane langempela emphakathini. Ucabanga ukuthi lokho kuzoqhubeka kanjani kulezi zinsuku?

I-VM: Kufanele bathole impunzi futhi inzondo ithengisa kakhulu kunokuthanda. Ngithole ama-kudos amaningi avela kubagxeki besifazane abangidumisa ngokuba nombulali wami abe ngowesifazane. Kumele ngithi ngiyaziqhenya kakhulu ngomsebenzi kaBetsy nokuthi iqiniso lokuthi ukuziphindiselela kukamama sekuyinto ephawulekayo. Akakaze nakanye acele owesilisa ukuba amenzele umsebenzi wakhe. Ungumama ebengilokhu ngimfuna.

iH: Ngifunde izingxoxo ezimbalwa nawe, lapho uthi awukaze ubuke noma ikuphi okulandelanayo, kepha lokhu bekuvela esikhathini esithile esedlule. Esithombeni sakho samanje sephrofayela ye-Facebook, uphethe umdwebo kaJason ngesifihla seHockey. Ngabe uke wanikela futhi wabukela noma iyiphi yalamafilimu? Uma kunjalo, ucabangani?

I-VM: Uma imaski yeHockey iyisithonjana sobukhosi engiqale ngabo, makube njalo. Ngokuqondene nokulandelana, kuhlelekile njengokubuka enye indoda ingubaba wezingane zakho.
