Last week, we told you about Tommy Wirkola’s follow-up to DEAD SNOW, a little ditty called KURT JOSEF WAGLE & THE LEGEND OF THE FJORD WITCH (rolls right off the tongue). Seemed like your average P.O.V. horror number (with a little dark humor thrown in), but today reveals some startling news about the low-budget flick: It’s going to be in “Smell-O-Vision”!
Yes, like William Castle and John Waters before him, Wirkola plans on injecting a little extra into your movie-going experience, and we’re not talking 3D. According to Screen Daily, Wirkola wants to make your time at the theater a true “you are there” proposition.
”In the theater your sense of smell is usually reserved for your neighbour’s popcorn; we want to use it for the complete cinema experience. Most of the scents are nice and cozy, like wood and moor—others are less pleasant: one will remind you of, eh, bodily waste.”
Just what I want from a theatrical experience: the smell of shit in the air! Well, based on the loony ideas present in DEAD SNOW, perhaps Wirkola is up for this kind of wackiness. I know I’d give it a go – easy on the shit-stink, please.
