UJacob Davison: Uqhamuke kanjani nomqondo othi I-Uncaged ngemuva kowokuqala 47 Amamitha Phansi?

UJohannes Roberts: Ngaya emhumeni we-dive ngenkathi ngenza ifilimu yokuqala. Sasinyonyoba ngezimpelasonto siyocwila emigedeni okuyinto esasingavunyelwe kakhulu ukuyenza ngoba iphambene nemishwalense. Bengikuthanda nje, bekuthusa futhi kuthusa, futhi ngathi "Ngingathanda ukwenza imuvi lapha." Lapho ifilimu iba yingoma eshisa izikhotha eminyakeni embalwa kamuva ngezwa ngathi “Kungani singakuzami lokho? Yenza oshaka emhumeni.”

 

JD: Uma sikhuluma nje wawuqhamukephi umqondo woshaka basemigedeni? Oshaka be-albino ku-movie?

JR: Ngibheke nje ukuthi kuzokwenzekani. Sake sacabanga ngakho nokuthi kufanele sibe noshaka kanjani, kwangena ushaka oyedwa futhi sathola wonke lo mbono we-ecosystem owawuchuma laphaya phansi. Uqale ukucwaninga ngoshaka waseGreenland ofana nesidalwa esidala kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Bapholile, bangoshaka abayizimpumputhe abathi ngezikhathi ezithile bavele phezulu futhi bayizilwane ezinkulu, ezihamba kancane. Vele uhlanganise lokho nokumhlophe okuhle futhi bekumnandi, kumnandi.

 

JD: Ngiyabona. Phezu kwemigede, ngacabanga ukuthi kuyathakazelisa ukuthi ukushona kwelanga kwashona kanjani futhi ngangizibuza ukuthi ukuthole kanjani lokho futhi uwakhe kanjani amasethi edolobha?

JR: Ugqozi lohlobo lwedolobha lwavela, ngenza ukutshuza kakhulu. Njengokuthi, eMalta ngaya diving futhi bacwilisa isithombe sikaJesu phansi olwandle. Kuyamangaza nje! Uma ubhukuda bese uwela kuye, kufana nokuthi “Hawu!” Ngakho-ke, bengifuna ngempela ukuzijabulisa ngezithombe bese uyazi uDavid Brian, umklami wokukhiqiza kanye nami sasebenza ndawonye isikhathi eside futhi sathola ukuthi sidale lonke leli dolobha. Okuyinto yangempela, le mizi ewele ngaphansi kwamanzi. Sathatha ngendlela yethu. Idolobha eliklanywe ngendlela emangalisayo alenza, futhi akufani nokuthi sasinemali eningi. Uyazi, asisona isitudiyo esikhulu. Bekufanele, ngemali encane kakhulu sidale yonke le ndawo engaphansi kwamanzi futhi ifana neCube, leyo movie. Wonke amasethi kufanele aphindwe njalo kuwo ukuze abonakale makhulu kakhulu kunalokho eyikho. Kunzima kakhulu ukukwenza. Ngiyaziqhenya kakhulu ngendlela esenze ngayo yomibili imigoqo lapho. Ngempela akekho owayeke wakwenza lokhu ngaphambilini.

 

JD: Emuva koshaka, bebebukeka njenge-CGI ikakhulukazi kodwa bengizibuza ukuthi ngabe zikhona yini ezinye izinto lapho? Ngabe abadlali basebenzisana kanjani noshaka ngesikhathi beshutha ngaphansi kwamanzi?

JR: Yebo, oshaka bangama-CG. Kodwa singaba nomfana phakathi, ocishe afane nesudi kashaka, onekhanda likashaka elibhukudayo futhi ubezokwenza sonke isenzo. Bese simkhipha ngemuva kwalokho sifake oshaka phakathi.

 

JD: Futhi, endabeni yoshaka, angikwazanga ukuzibamba ngezwa sengathi indlela ababecathama ngayo phakathi kwedolobha icishe yaba nengxenye yefilimu encane kubo. Ngenxa yendlela eyayizingela futhi ibacuphe ngayo. Ngiwuthandile umsebenzi wakho The Abezizwe: Babamba Ebusuku futhi wayezibuza ukuthi ngabe lokho kwakuyisici?

JR: Yebo, bekukhulu kakhulu. Uma ubuya ukuzokwenza isiqephu esilandelanayo ufuna ukuzama ukuzitholela okuthile njengomqondisi ongakwenza ongakwenzanga. Ukuthi uthole okuthakazelisayo. Futhi ngiwuthanda kakhulu umbono wokuthi- angikaze ngiyibone ifilimu yoshaka njenge Halloween ifilimu futhi ngingumlandeli omkhulu kaJohn Carpenter. Bengizijabulisa nje Strangers. Uhlobo lokwenza Christine ukuthi ngicishe ngalibeka kulelo zinga futhi noshaka lapha endleleni Christine uhlala elandela abantu noma uMichael Myers ku Halloween amamuvi. Ngangizidlalela nje ngalokho, engangizizwa sengathi angikaze ngiyibone ifilimu enjengale ngaphambili. Bekuzama okuthile okusha nokungajwayelekile.

 

JD: Kulokho, uhlanganise kanjani, njengoba ubhale futhi uqondise Amamitha angama-47 Phansi: Angahlanganisiwe, uvalo. Ngoba ngangizwa sengathi ukwesaba okuningi kwe-jump kwakusebenza kakhulu. Ngeqa ngokoqobo esihlalweni sami!

JR: Kudinga fucking unomphela. Nginenhlanhla enkulu ngokuthi ngisebenza nomhleli ofanayo kumamuvi amahlanu noma ayisithupha okugcina, uMartin Brinkler. Insizwa enekhono kakhulu. Ngezinye izikhathi ukwesaba kuzosebenza ngqo ku-bat. Kepha kaningi kufana nokuthi, ngiyibukele (Amamitha angama-47 Phansi: Angahlanganisiwe) ngolunye usuku kanye nokugxuma okukhulu abantu ababenakho ekugcineni kwefilimu yilapho bebona khona into encane yesikuta sasolwandle. Bese iphenduka ijike ushaka uvele uphume emhubheni ugxumele kubo futhi izethameli ngaleso sikhathi zibonakale zigxuma ngempela futhi zithukile.

Lokho kwaba ukwesaba, ukukhetha nje leso sibonelo esisodwa, esasebenza. Kufanele nje uhlale njalo, usebenze njalo ngesonto ngemva kokusebenza futhi kulula njengalowo mugqa. Umlingisi udinga ukusho umugqa, kulokhu, abalingisi bathi “Oh, ikhona indlela yokudlula lapha.” Futhi uvele uphazamiseke ngokuphelele isikhashana bese kuba khona okuphuma ngenye indlela. Akukaze kube yinto efanayo kabili ngokugxuma. Awukwazi neze ukusho ukuthi yini ezokwenza ukuthi ifike noma cha, kodwa ngiyayijabulela futhi kungumsebenzi wami futhi kuyathandeka ukubuka izethameli futhi ziyagxuma! Ngokulinganayo kufana nokubuka usomahlaya osuke eshona esiteji uma engagxumi, kufane nokuthi umuntu akwenze uhleke bese efa nje. Uma ukweqa kwakho kungasebenzi kuwubulwane kakhulu ukuhlala nezithameli.

 

JD: Bekunjani ukusebenza neqoqo elisha labalingisi nabalingisi be-Uncaged?

JR: Ngiyawathanda lawo mantombazane amane. Bebesangene nje. USophie noBrianne babenolwazi olutheni kodwa basebancane. Futhi abanye ababili, uSistine noCorinne nakuba babephuma emindenini emikhulu yokulingisa babengakaze benze lutho, ngempela. Kwakuyiqembu labantu abasha ngempela ababemagange ukuzibonakalisa futhi baziphusha ngempela futhi ngangingeke ngikwazi ukuziqhenya ngabo, ngihlabeke umxhwele ngabo ngendlela abavele benza ngayo. Bakwenza ngempela.

Ngangimangele ngezinye zezinto ababezozenza. Uyazi, ngingumtshuzi, abanjalo. Babengenza izinto engangingakaze ngizenze! USophie ekhumula imaski futhi ephefumula umoya phezulu emhumeni! Ngathi “Ngeke ngikwenze lokho.” Lapho sezigxumela eweni zingena emanzini angikwenzanga lokho. Ngabuka ngase ngithi, “Uyahlanya, iningi lakho.” Kodwa bangabantu abamnandi kakhulu. Ngicabanga ukuthi bazophuma ngempela, bakufanele ngempela.

 

JD: Ngibuyele ekutshuzeni, bengifisa ukwazi ukuthi wake wabhukuda yini oshaka noma ungathanda yini ukubhukuda noshaka ngemva kwalokhu?

 

JR: Yazi yini, enye nje yalezo zinto engingakaze ngizenze into yokutshuza emhumeni. Kungakho ngiqale ngafunda ukutshuza, ngoba ulwandle lungihlaba umxhwele ngokungapheli, futhi ngiyabathanda oshaka. Omunye wemibuzo ovela kaningi uthi “Ingabe lawa mamuvi ayabalimaza oshaka ngokubafaka amademoni?” futhi ngethemba ngempela ukuthi abakwenzi. Awalinyazwa ngempela kunoma yikuphi 47 Amamitha Phansi amamuvi. Akunjalo Empeleni. Bashaqeka kancane, kodwa angilokothi ngibulale noma yimuphi wabo noma yini. Ngizizwa nginothando ngempela ngalokho. Ngangena ethangini elinoshaka be-sand tiger. Abalona uhlobo loshaka, babukeka besabeka kakhulu kodwa bangamafidi ayisithupha kuya kwayisishiyagalombili ubude futhi ungena nje uhlale phansi ethangini bese bebhukuda ngaphezu kwakho. Awukho ekhejini nanoma yini. Ukuba semanzini nento enkulu kangaka kwakumangalisa kakhulu. Angikaze ngenze into emhlophe enkulu engingathanda ukuyenza.

 

JD: Futhi ngisho nangemva kwalawa mamuvi ubuzowenza?

 

JR: (Ehleka) Impela! Yebo, ngingakwenza. Angifuni ukungena emgedeni omhlophe omkhulu.

 

JD: Umbuzo owodwa wokugcina, ungathanda ukwenza imuvi yesithathu ye-47 Meters Down? Ingabe unayo imibono?

 

JR: Ngicabanga ukuthi kuzomele sibone ukuthi lo wenza kanjani. Ngiyakuthanda ukuqopha ngaphansi kwamanzi, kuyikhono elikhethekile kakhulu futhi kufanele ube uhlobo oluthile lomqondisi. Ihambisana nendlela engisebenza ngayo kancane. Ngingathanda ngempela ukuqhubeka nokuqopha ngaphansi kwamanzi. Yebo, amafilimu amaningi oshaka angamangalisa. Sizobona ukuthi ziyafuneka yini.
