"When I did 'The After Hours,' the whole soundstage was that department store, and there was an eerie feeling because of the immensity of that stage, and the lighting and the darkness beyond. Ah, I still get the chills. But it was a lot of fun working on that."

Low budget films often shoot non union. Obsession did, and at the same budget Detention was designed for. Yet we got flipped and they didn't. Random. And you know what, I'm fine with it. I just paid it off over seven years and delayed my next film Bodied (which was union in LA). The issue for me is they waited for the first day of the shoot make the demand. They had months to ask us to get unionized. They waited til the first day of shoot. That was not cool.

My very first morning filming Detention in LA, which was supposed to be an $800k shoot, Iatse showed up with a ballot box and said the crew was going to "vote" to turn it union or I get shut down. I had no choice but to flip it and spent the rest of the shoot scrambling to find money every three days. After it was done, my own DGA union kept sending me bills to pay for fines on a movie I spent my own money on. Of course all this expanded my budget which then put me in another tier of SAG which then increased the budget again. It was an endless union squeeze that kept pushing the budget up, with me holding the bill. As they say in Goodfellas, Fuck You Pay Me.

30 Days of Night (2007)
Steve Niles originally conceived the story as a film. After years of rejection by studios, it was reworked into a comic book. Eventually, a studio that rejected the original screenplay went for the comic version. They paid much more than Steve Niles offered to sell the original story.

After playing a pretty boy sailor in Billy Budd, Terence Stamp made a jump into the horror genre in The Collector (out today, 1965) as a rich tormentor, then again in Spirits Of The Dead as a drunken victim of a wily Satan. Chilling, and a far cry from his adventures as Priscilla

Heather Langenkamp appreciation post.
Heather not only brought the character of Nancy Thompson vividly to life in Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), she also co-owns AFX Studio, the company responsible for the special effects for movies such as Dawn of the Dead (2004) and The Cabin in the Woods (2011) as well as various American Horror Stories.

Had to rent this last night cause I'm a 'ride or die' fan of director Dante Lam. Imagine an unruly merger of video games like Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty, the novels of Tom Clancy, and that Benghazi movie from Michael Bay. It's wild.

James Ellroy on introducing a screening of LA Confidential despite the fact that he hates the movie. He'd rather introduce Big Jim McClain
Steven Powell@EllroyReader
Ellroy told me he would never introduce LA Confidential the film again. But now he is back at it. Why? He hates the movie, and his presence there will only make the ticket buyers miserable. Go see him at a bookshop appearance instead. laconservancy.org/tours-events/e…

Screenwriting survival tip for today…
You need a solid body of work to stand out. Hopefully each script moves you closer to one that does open doors and creates opportunities.

Horror icon #StephenKing revealed on Threads that Focus Features and Blumhouse's, #Obsession, has been on his mind since he watched it. The author praised the movie for being able to blend horror and comedy in a very unique way. He said that Obsession has a solid B+ in his scorebook and that the film has had a lasting effect on him.

Even though this is fake, about 4 years ago we were offered a full size TIE fighter for about 70k. The problem was, it was overseas, which would have cost a fortune to ship along with tariffs!
We still hope someday we can get one to display.

I’m really digging the cinematography for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. This already looks so much more stylish and cinematic than the last three films.

Blocking + framing + composition = clarity.
Lens choice + lighting = control.
Together, that is SHOT DESIGN.
Vashi Nedomansky, ACE@vashikoo
THE IPCRESS FILE (1965) is a masterclass in “frame within the frame” cinematography. Director Sidney J. Furie and cinematographer Otto Heller turned doors, windows, lamps, shelves, file cabinets, walls, and foreground objects into visual architecture. The result is not just “cool framing.” It changes how we watch the film. Michael Caine’s Harry Palmer is constantly boxed in, observed, obstructed, and trapped inside layers of bureaucracy and espionage. The compositions make the audience feel like we are spying on the spy. Every frame has tension. Composition is story.

Inde Navarrette is having a little fun with her ‘OBSESSION’ fame.
The actress stars in a new David Protein Ice Cream ad that playfully riffs on the film, complete with a familiar “no, no, no” moment that horror fans will immediately recognize!
