ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, how exactly didAmityvilleget into space?
Who’s idea was this?
We didAmityville Islandand I made another movie calledAmityville Death House.
And we have the freedom to go and do that.
It’s so fascinating and it’s so much fun.
It’s a challenge when someone says, “Hey, I want you to makeAmityville in Space.”
But you learn to be resourceful, you learn to be creative.
I have access to this, this, and this.
You start building the idea around your resources.
Above all, you have to be passionate about what you do.
I’m not embarrassed about that.
What can audiences expect fromAmityville in Space?
And those were kind of the parameters I was given to formulate the script.
You have another film coming out calledSharkula.
What can you tell us about that?
I’m going to assume it’s about a vampire shark.
you’re free to assume correctly.
It’s kind of a love letter to the Universal and Hammer Dracula movies and the sharksploitaton films.
It’s sort of a mash-up.
It throws in some old vampire folklore with some new ideas and creates a really crazy kind of film.
What other projects are you working on?
We have a couple upcoming projects.
I think there’s room for everybody in the entertainment world.
Not everyone wants steak, sometimes they want a hamburger, and we’re here to grill it.
Can I pitch you a film?
Sure, why not.
Jekyll and Mr Shark?
[Laughs] You know, it’s funny because that idea came up a while ago.
But you know what?
Have you written any scripts?
Not successfully, no.
Well, hey, then you’d be right at home with us!
[Laughs] I don’t mean that as a slam, sir, I do not.
