I’m pretty excited to see what Francis Ford Coppola has up his sleeve for his new flick TWIXT NOW AND SUNRISE. After all, it marks the man’s first real return to the horror genre after a two decade absence (BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA). Not only that, his new flick has a hell of a cast, an cryptic premise and a motivated use of 3D technology.
Enter star Val Kilmer, who recently opened up to Interview about his role on the film, which he describes as a Mario Puzo (THE GODFATHER) type character. He also confirms Francis’ use of 3D and what context it will be employed in. Scope it…
“I play a writer who’s something like [author] Mario Puzo, or at least how Francis describes Puzo’s experience where he wrote ‘The Godfather’ while he was waiting for inspiration for his masterpiece…My character is a guy who tossed off this book about witches, and it became a big deal, and now he’s known as doing these silly witch books and he’s on hard times now looking for inspiration.”
Silly witch books huh, HARRY POTTER anyone? Kilmer then chats about the 3D usage:
“There’s a couple of dream sequences. What Francis has done is use the 3D sparingly. It only comes a couple of times, so it’s very memorable when there’s an event and you put your glasses on,”
Concluding with a bit of release date teasing, Kilmer added:
“It’s a Halloween extravaganza.”
Beautiful. Definitely the kind of counterprogramming I want to see in place of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3. How about you?
