Genre fav Bill Moseley has become a madman in the horror genre as of late starring in nearly 20 films since The Devil's Rejects hit theaters back in 2005. With some big films such as Repo! The Genetic Opera coming out in 2008, we figured it was time to catch up with the acting phenom to talk about where his career has gone and where it will go in the upcoming years. Inside you'll find a taste of the full interview coming later this week.
While chatting with Bill Moseley about a bunch of his upcoming projects, he talked a bit about the untitled "Gahenna" project. "I think that is it’s tentatively titled ICE 44 - the Untitled Gahenna project. It's kind of a military vs. biblical evil - that I can tell you," Moseley tells Bloody-Disgusting.com. "I played a possessed bureaucrat and it was a lot of fun. I think day one of those two days was tough because it was about a 20-hour day with maybe either 8 or 9 of that in make-up. There was a lot of make-up. Actually, I don’t think it took 9 hours to put that make up on and take it off, it was prolly a good 4 or 5 hours. And that’s always tough when you want to impress people and your trying to learn those lines, in your head, and your standing in a fairly chilly room - I think it was shot in an abandoned hospital somewhere in Los Angeles. And you have to stand up to get the make up on, because it was a chest piece and a back piece, as well as the head." He continues, "I do remember getting there awfully early, like 5:30, 6 in the morning and standing up for four hours as cold rubber was glued on me. That’s why when people look at the screen and say, “Boy, I could do that” it might actually be accurate, they might be able to do that. But what a lot of people don’t see, of course, is the tremendous suffering and especially in the horror genre, that we actors undergo to actually get to the set to say those lines."
One thing I was curious about 3was whether the film felt theatrical or like a home video type film. "It definitely felt theatrical. I’m sure that if they have Ron Pearlman, Ray Winstone, Cuba Gooding Jr. I would imagine the ambition is to release it theatrically," Moseley explains.
Moseley was also recently announced in a new film called THE GRAVES, he talks a bit about what role he'll play in the film. "I play a small town guy who is an entity, an evil entity. (Laughs) I think that’s the best I can say about that. It is being shot in beautiful Wickenburg, Arizona. Which is actually where I used to go as a kid, I used to go to Wickenburg, to a dude ranch with my family and ride horses and look for geodes and stay away from scorpions and rattlesnakes so, I’m looking forward to getting back to Wickenburg."
One of Moseley's big upcoming films is Darren Lynn Bousman's REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, which he tells us he saw about a month ago. "I saw it a little over a month ago, maybe five or six weeks ago, I thought it was fantastic," he continues talking about one of his pivelal scenes. "I was kinda the house killer on that movie - Anthony Head and I seemed to provide a lot of the slicing and the dicing," Moseley jokes. "One fun part was that I did get to sing, in fact, because it is an Opera just about every line is sung."
Watch this spot for the full interview with Bill Moseley in the coming week.
The Mose!!! This guy is one of my favorite actors and is so cool, he should have his own breakfast cereal. I'm so stoked for Repo! That movie just seems really different and I normally HATE musicals. I can't wait for the full interview. Thanks B-D!!
I really want to see those movies. He was absolutely awesome in 1000 corpses and Devils Rejects. I didn't even know he's been in so many movies. Now I gotta hit the IMDB and see what else he's been in.
Rejects was his best horror preformace in my opinion. Corpses his character seemed kind of lost to me among what was going on. In rejects the character shined like the light of day and one of the reasons why rejects was great.
Moseley is great!! He was awesome in House of 1000 corpses and the Devils Rejects. I can't wait to see his up coming projects and to read the full interview.
Fracture - Texas Chainsaw 2! Chop top. If you like crazy Mosely roles, that's the one you should see first.
