Ngibe nenhlanhla yokumenywa ukuzobuka ukuzulazula komdlalo wesiteji wamanje weClive Barker's Revelations eStella Adler Theatre eHollywood ngesonto eledlule. Ingxenye yeLiving Room Series eqhubekayo yeThe Blank Theatre, lokhu kuthembise ukuthi kuzoba umcimbi ohlukile. Ngixwayiswe kusengaphambili ukuthi umbukiso uzoba nemiphumela ekhethekile engaqediwe kanye nomhlobiso wesethi onqunyelwe, nokuthi lokhu kuzoba ukukhiqizwa ngendlela eluhlaza kakhulu. Njengomlandeli wempilo yami yonke uClive Barker, ngangiyijwayele le ndaba emfushane (eyashicilelwa ekuqaleni kwiqoqo le-Books of Blood ekuqaleni kwawo-1980), futhi ngangijabule kakhulu ukuyibona ilungiswa phambi kwamehlo ami.

Kulabo abangajwayele le ndaba, isabelo sakho sokuqala kungaba ukuphuma lapho wenze umsebenzi wakho wasekhaya we-Horror futhi uzitholele ikhophi yeqoqo elijwayelekile kusuka kumphathi. Phakathi kwezinye izindaba eziningi ezingakholeki futhi eziyingqayizivele ezifakwe kulelo volumu, abafundi bazothola le ndaba ethi Izambulo njengenye yezinto ezingalibaleki. Kuzungeza umshumayeli wangempela womlilo nesibabule ogama lakhe linguJohn Gyer nomkakhe bezingela egumbini lehhotela ngobusuku besiphepho esinamandla. Eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu ngaphambili, egumbini elifanayo lehhotela, umoya okhululekile ogama lakhe linguSadie Durning waba yinganekwane yendawo lapho edubula ebulala umyeni wakhe owayemhlukumeza, uBuck. Njengoba indaba iqhubeka, unkosikazi womshumayeli uVirginia uqala ukubabona ngokucace ngokwengeziwe, nemicimbi ikhula ngokushesha.

Uhlobo engilubonile lwasebenza cishe imizuzu engama-75, futhi lwalujabulisa kakhulu. Abalingisi bonke bahlasele izindima zabo ngentshiseko enkulu, ikakhulukazi uBruce Ladd njengomshumayeli onolaka noMeredith Thomas njengoSadie, owesifazane omubi onenhliziyo enhle naphezu kwakho konke lokhu. Isivinini sokukhiqiza besishesha futhi sithakazelisa, inkhulumomphendvulwano ebhalwe kahle ishintsha ngobuchwepheshe phakathi kokuhlekisayo nokubandayo. Njengoba bebheka ngamawindi ngokwesaba isiphepho esisondelayo, babheke ngqo kuzethameli ngokuthinta okukholisayo nokukhaliphile. Idrama ikhona lapho, futhi igumbi lehhotela elizimele liyisimo esifanele ukusetshenziselwa umphumela omkhulu we-claustrophobic kanye ne-haunting. Lapho udlame luqhuma ngokuzuma nangokuzwakala okukhulu, kwakunzima ukungazizwa sengathi wawukhona lapho phakathi kwezehlakalo ezimbi.

Lokhu kuthembisa ukuthi kuzoba ngumkhiqizo othokozisayo ozobheka isikhathi esizayo. Ngibe nethuba lokuthola umbhali uJames Michael Hughes nomqondisi uRhys McClelland ngababuza imibuzo embalwa mayelana nale phrojekthi ethokozisayo, ababenomusa ngokwanele ukusikhanyisela ngayo.
Uyacelwa ukuthi uthokozele ingxoxo engezansi:

Ngiyakuqonda ukuthi le ndaba ekuqaleni yayikhethwe njengephrojekthi yefilimu. Uma lokho kuyiqiniso, yini eyaholela ekutheni ithuthukiswe njengomdlalo wasesiteji? Ngabe zikhona izinhlelo zokuthi ekugcineni uthole le ndaba esikrinini?

UJAMES: Inhloso yami yasekuqaleni kwakungukushintsha i- “Revelations” njengefilimu efakiwe noma umshayeli we-TV ochungechungeni lwe-anthology. UClive wayenginikeze imvume engakahleleki yokuthi ngiyishintshe indaba yakhe emfushane ngenkathi ngiya e-UCLA School of Film, Theatre kanye neTelevishini. Leyo mvume engahlelekile kwakungeyomqondo wami wokuthweswa iziqu kuphela.

Njengoba iminyaka idlula, "Izambulo" zaqhubeka nokungihlupha. Lapho sengikulungele ukuphinda ngihambele umqondo wokuzivumelanisa ne- “Revelations” njengefilimu, othile wangishaya ngakho! UMark Miller, oyi-Development VP kaClive ungitshele ukuthi amalungelo awekho. Ngakho-ke angibanga nalo ithuba lokukhetha “Izambulo” njengefilimu efakiwe. Kodwa ngokuzimisela okukhulu, ngafikelwa umqondo wokwethula “Izambulo” njengomdlalo wasesiteji. Kubonakale kuyisinqumo esinengqondo. Ngokunikwa indawo, abalingiswa nokungqubuzana, le ndaba ibizoziboleka kahle njengomkhiqizo obukhoma. Ngiphakamise lo mbono kuClive ngencwadi futhi wangishayela ucingo, washiya umyalezo wezwi, wathi umbono wami wawunobuhlakani. Futhi i-adventure yaqala.

Kwakuyini / kwakungakanani ukuzibandakanya kukaClive Barker kulo mkhiqizo?

UJAMES: Ngabhala okusalungiswa okuningi kwe- "Revelations" isikhathi esithile ngaphandle komnikelo kaClive wokudala. Ngithole amanothi avela kubaphathi bezentuthuko futhi ngifunda ukufundwa kwetafula nabalingisi abangochwepheshe ukusiza ukudlulisela indaba kaClive kumdlalo wasesiteji ophumelelayo. Lapho sengakha uhlaka engangijabule ngalo, ngafuna umphathi wesiteji. Lowo mqondisi kwakunguRhys McClelland. Ngenkathi uRhys esesemkhunjini, ngokubambisana sakha umbhalo waze walungela ukwethula uClive Barker.

UClive nabaphathi bakhe bezentuthuko babambe iqhaza ezingxenyeni eziningi zezinguquko ezenzelwe ukulungiswa kwesiteji. Ngingathola wonke amanothi abo, ahlanganiswe nawakwaClive, ngenze izibuyekezo, ngihambise futhi ngithole amanothi amaningi. Sizoba nemihlangano yezindaba ekhaya likaClive lapho besizoxoxa khona wonke amaphuzu ezindaba adinga ukunakwa. Lokho bekuyinqubo yethu. Iyasebenza. Kucacile. Kuyaphumelela.

UClive ubesekela ngokumangalisayo futhi ephana. Uyazi nokuthi ufunani nokuthi yini ezosebenza. Ungumculi weqiniso ngomqondo angivumela ngawo ukuthi ngisebenzise umcabango wami futhi ngindiza.

Hlobo luni lwemiphumela ekhethekile kanye / noma setha izinguquko izethameli ezingalindela ukuzibona kunguqulo yokugcina yomdlalo?

Ama-RHYS: Ukukhiqizwa okuphelele kuzoletha ushintsho olukhulu! Kepha ikakhulukazi ngendlela umdlalo osebenzisa ngayo ukukhanya nesithunzi. Sihlola ukusetshenziswa kwethunzi okwamanje ukudala isethi namajamo onstage anganyakaza futhi ahambisane nezinguquko ekukhanyeni, cabanga yaseshashalazini-noir…

Ngokuya ngemiphumela ekhethekile sinqume ukuthi okulula kube ngcono. Sinesithakazelo kuhlobo lwemiphumela ephumelela kakhulu kepha ecashile esebenzisa izikhala ekuboneni futhi idlale ngengqondo… ngakho-ke cabanga ngomlingo wasemgwaqweni esikhundleni sikaDavid Copperfield.

Imidlalo engiyibonile ibinamandla kakhulu futhi ikholisa. Ngabe kube khona ubunzima ekunqumeni ukuthi uzoboniswa kanjani "izipoki" nabalingisi ababukhoma?

Ama-RHYS: Lokhu yinto ebesiyidinga umhlangano wokusebenzela, ukuhlola ukuthi lokhu kuzosebenza kanjani. Ngicabanga ukuthi senze izinqumo ezithile kuleli sonto ezizosiza ngokuzayo kepha kuzodinga ukuqhubekela phambili.

Ngokuvamile ekusebenzeni umqondisi ubezoqinisekisa ukuthi wonke umuntu wethula isitayela sokusebenza esifanayo… kepha nge “Izambulo” lokho akunjalo. Sifuna ukwenza izipoki zibe ngumuntu ngangokunokwenzeka kodwa ngasikhathi sinye labo badlali baveze amandla ahluke ngokuphelele kubo bonke abanye babalingisi… lokhu kungaba semnyakazweni wabo, emathonjeni abo ezwi nakububanzi bomlingiswa wabo.

Ekugcineni sifuna ukuhlonipha ikhono likaClive Barker lokubhala imihlaba emibili ekhona esondelene kepha enamandla ahluke kakhulu… esiteji engasebenza ngezitayela ezi-2 ezahlukahlukene zokusebenza ezenzeka ngasikhathi sinye nokwenzela izethameli ukungaboni ngaso linye.

Ekugcineni, ngicela wazise abafundi ukuthi yini abangayilindela kumkhiqizo wokugcina, ngamazwi akho, uma ukwazi.

Ama-RHYS: Izethameli zingalindela indaba yesipoki ethokozisayo, indaba enothando yabesifazane ababili abavela ezikhathini ezahlukahlukene abathola ubudlelwano obunamandla ezimweni ezingavamile kakhulu. Bangalindela ukubona ukuvela kwendaba emfushane, ngenkathi bethembekile kumbono wokuqala kaClive Barker.

Izethameli zingalindela amahlaya amnyama kanti ezinye ziphonsela inselelo imibuzo yenkolo futhi ekugcineni kube uhambo olujabulisayo.

Senza lesi siqephu ngoba siyawuthanda umsebenzi kaClive Barker futhi le ndaba imemeza ithi 'dlala' ekhasini ... bekufanele yenziwe umcimbi obukhoma futhi sizizwe sibusiseke kakhulu ngokuthi sikwazi ukukwenza… singena kulokhu umhlaba kaJohn Gyer noVirginia, ukubona ukuvela kwakhe abe ngumlingo futhi aqhubeke nohambo naye ngesikhathi sangempela… sizodlala noSadie Durning! Ukumenza aphile futhi ambuze imibuzo yokuthi kungani enze lokhu akwenzile… engabalandeli bakaClive Barker ongafuni ukubona abanye babalingiswa bakhe bephila phambi kwamehlo abo? (Ngishilo 'abanye')

Ngakho-ke, lapho unakho; ukubukeka kwethu okukhethekile kwe-iHorror kuphrojekthi enhle ekuthuthukisweni.
Nganoma iyiphi inhlanhla, sizobona ukukhiqizwa kokugcina kwale ndaba enhle eyenziwe bukhoma ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka!
