| Q&A
with Guillaume Tunzini |
|
|
| How
long did your project take
to create, from conception
to final completion? |
| Four
months. |
|
| Where
did your inspiration come
from? |
| From
the photographer of my wedding
who said that he saw once
the groom say "I don't",
and from my neighbor in
a hospital room who was
amazingly annoying. |
|
| Is
Horror or Sci-Fi your primary
creative interest? |
| Horror...
and comedy. |
|
| Can
you describe a typical day
in the creative process? |
| Since
most will talk about the
shooting, I'll talk about
the prep. FATHERS IN LAW
is an action movie set in
one hospital room. My 2
protagonist are stuck in
bed, but they want to kill
each other. The big challenge
was to make the shots interesting
although everything happened
in the same place. We worked
for days with Julio Ribeyro,
my DP, trying to find interesting
camera angles around this
room. During those days,
you could see 2 grown up
guys walking around a table
with 2 Ken-dolls on it,
looking for angles. This
is how we got the 60 different
camera angles in that small
room, and that's how, with
the help of very talented
cast, we told the story
right.. |
|
| Who
do you consider to be the
greatest horror writers? |
| Edgar
Allan Poe, Ray Bradbury,
Stephen King, Lovecraft...
and more. |
|
|
| Can
you recall the first horror
film that left a lasting
impression on you? |
| The
Exorcist. |
|
| Who
do you consider to be the
greatest 'Masters of Horror'? |
| Takashi
Shimizu, Stanley Kubrick,
George A. Romero, John Carpenter,
Wes Craven, Sam Raimi...
among others. |
|
| How
did you find your cast? |
| Actor
Jacques Boudet and I have
the same agent and that's
how I met him. And I met
Michel Vivier after a normal
casting/audition process. |
|
| What
is you most memorable moment
while making your film? |
The
bursting effect ( you'll
see what I mean when you
see the movie ) was quite
a biggie.
I also remember Jacques
Boudet's last take, when
he was covered with plaster
and blood and that he had
to be on stage for the Cesar
( French Oscars) one hour
later.
Also, having to paint the
whole 4000 Sq Ft studio
floor all by myself right
after wrap. That is a painful
memory. |
|
| Can
you briefly describe the
editing process? |
| I
did a first cut, made one
test preview, arranged a
few minor things and went
to neg-cut. |
|
| Did
you shoot on film or with
digital cameras? |
| We
shot on film - 35mm. |
|
| How
many members of your cast
and crew? |
| Seven
in the cast, with a crew
of twenty. |
|
| If
you could choose any famous
actors to work with on future
projects, who would they
be? |
| Evangeline
Lilly, Natalie Portman,
Rachel McAdams, Christian
Bale, Ashton Kutcher, Giovani
Ribisi, Wentworth Miller. |
