It's just very tough on the crew 'cause we gotta move constantly. it fits really well with this concept of kind of the road movie, this traveling kind of epic these characters go through. It's just crazy actually how many different locations.

So it's been really fun to go and visit these just crazy, crazy places like this abandoned mall and this abandoned railyard down the road and now this mansion here for two days. But I love locations, location work especially. But, you know, base camp was always in the same place every day. And there are all these different little locations in the location like the Glade itself. In the last one, even though we had like one location, it was one big location.

How was it for you adjusting to a movie with just pretty much two locations to I don't even know how many you have here? So we keep our heads down, focus and try to make the best movie we can. But it's a great team around us, an awesome cast.

Like I said, we were just finished the last one and we jumped right into this one. But I guess some of the pressure is just, how fast we have to move. It's the same sort of issues of trying to make a movie. I mean, this is kind of the same thing on the last one. I can't wait to get into that part too.ĭid you feel any pressure coming back for a sequel with the expectations sort of rising? And they'll bring their own sort of special sauce to everything too. Yeah, we have lots of the artwork that kind of gets them on the right track. Some of them are all prosthetics and stuff, but there's gonna be some really cool ones that you can't possibly build in real life. We're gonna be doing a good portion of them. It's taken what James did and trying to push it even further basically. And we got some cool stuff that's basically inspired the Grievers basically. But yeah, the Cranks are our big kind of hero monsters in this one. But what about like the Silver Ball and then the Ball Monster? It's been cool.Ĭan you tell us about the new monsters? We heard a little bit about the Cranks. And you just kind of wind them up and let them go. It's been another one of those blessings where we just find great, great actors. So it's been a lot of fun actually bringing these guys who are just great actors and just watch them do their thing. It's becoming more and more mature, more sophisticated and all that stuff. Again, it goes with that thing of just making the movie feel more than just a kids movie now. And they're not all just evil adults either. Well it's cool 'cause we get to have more adults in this movie. How did bringing in someone like Giancarlo and then Alan who we got to talk to who's amazing, like how does that kind of even further enhance what you're doing? Yeah, it's really been really a lot of fun just to kind of stretch your legs and do new stuff with the same cast and same story, you know what I mean? It's been actually really, really fun. It's just the vibe of the movie's so different really. Different locations, obviously.

So nothing's really changed in that sense. We were just doing publicity on the other one just like a few months ago. How have things changed coming back for the sequel? Working with the same cast but with a new flavor of a couple of new ones? That's the challenge really, is just to make something kind of new and different. Doing something that hopefully we haven't quite seen before. So just taking that approach with it basically.

Just a little bit more mature and sophisticated and growing up a little bit with these kids. And, you know, a little bit more fitting with the vibe of the movie in general. You know, we're just trying to make something interesting and kind of creepy, but sexual in some strange way. Can you tell us about the look of this sequence? It was really beautiful with the lights coming in from the back, the ethereal slow motion.
