Last week we discovered an article where David Cronenberg showed some interest in returning to the horror genre. This was huge news to us, which is why I was so pumped when B-D stringer Sean Clark dropped us a line from a special screening of Eastern Promises here in Los Angeles. Clark had a chance to chat with the director who had some choice words about the remakes of his films and his return to horror.
Sean Clark writes in: Last night at the new Arclight Theaters in the Sherman Oaks Galleria Director David Cronenberg was on hand to discuss his film Easter Promises, a part of the AFI's Director's Series. After his Q & A I was able to chat with him a bit about proposed remakes of his films and his future in horror.
I asked the legend what his feelings were on remakes being done of his films, specifically most recently Scanners and The Brood? He replied, "Well that hasn't happened yet," I interjected, "It looks like Scanners is moving forward with Darren Lynn Bousman directing," to which he replied, "To be completely honest I could live without it." Good stuff!
He also told his that he was approached to be part of Mick Garris' Masters of Horror series. "Yes. Mick and I are very good friends and he asked me but it was all scheduling. I just couldn't make it work."
Responding to the news from last week I asked him hif he ever plans on returning to the genre, his response, "If the right project comes along I would love to." - Sean Clark
