Leigh Whannell Talks Making Horror Movies and What’s Next

0
0

Leigh Whannell has been making movies for a while now, sometimes with his longtime friend James Wan and sometimes without. Recently he spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his horror flicks and what’s next for him.

The way things sound, it looks like his next movie will not fall into the horror genre, “…not because I would become bored of the genre as much as because the genre would become bored of me,” explains Whannell. “I think if I was constantly generating horror, the films would suffer. I feel like going off and making a film that’s completely different recharges your batteries. It’s a great thing to do.

If I had to pick one genre next, I’d love to make a sci-fi film. I grew up in the ’80s, going to the video store and renting Aliens and The Thing — I just love them so much. Nostalgia for the films I loved in my teenage years kind of really draws me.

Coming from Whannell soon will be The Mule, Cooties, and of course Insidious Chapter 3, which he stars in and directed.

Being a teenager can suck, especially when it comes to the war to get noticed and be popular. It’s even harder for dead teenagers, and you’re about to see just how bad it can be when Ghostgirl comes to the big screen.

Deadline reports that Matthew Vaughn’s MARV Films has acquired the motion picture rights to Ghostgirl, the bestselling series of YA satirical novels by Tonya Hurley.

The series focuses on a high school senior who feels invisible and suddenly really is, when she dies. Vaughn will produce with Valerie Van Galder.

Sunset Overdrive (Video Game)

Sunset OverdriveAvailable on Xbox One

Rated M for Mature

Developed by Insomniac Games


I was dead set on hating Sunset Overdrive. The first XBOne title that anyone gives a shit about outside of a re-releasing of five mediocre sci-fi shooters, Sunset Overdrive positioned itself to be “cool” and “quirky” and “not like all those other cover based shooters for SQUARES.” This seems an odd message to send to Xbox owners, since samey shooters have pretty much been their bread and butter since people forgot what Unreal Tournament was and declared Halo to be an innovative masterpiece.

For a long time, Microsoft has been the big boy on campus for the “real gamers” (please ignore Nintendo since the Wii was a toy for your grandparents), but from the start of this console generation they have been looking wobblier than a drunk two-legged dog. First there was the whole “always online” fiasco, followed by an executive telling people without internet connections to move to a “real city”. Now their celebratory cries announcing the release of a $100 cheaper Kinectless version almost drown out the collective sighs of everyone who remembers that their insistence that the console wouldn’t work without the Kinect is the reason it cost $100 more in the first place.

I won’t lie, I’m a bit salty. The original Xbox came out on my birthday, and oh how I did squeal with delight when my parents gave me my first “big boy” console. A monolithic underdog of its time, I too marveled at the crisp visuals of Halo and the frantic party action of Fusion Frenzy. Previously I had only owned a Sega Genesis and PlayStation, which I only owned Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot for. As I felt the heat radiate off of the massive black box and the colossal controller vibrate in my hands, I could feel my testicles’ descent into manhood. Years later, after the midnight release for the Xbox 360, I quickly learned that while I had grown older, everyone else on Xbox consoles had miraculously stayed screaming pre-teens who believed headshots gave them pubes. I switched to PlayStation on a whim, was embraced by the scaly chimeran love of Resistance, and never looked back.

So that being said, no one will really be surprised to hear that after Crackdown and the Gears of War series (main series only, I don’t spend my money on full priced spinoffs), my Xbox 360 didn’t see much love until Remedy forgot to announce that Alan Wake would come to the PC at some point. My XBOne has fared worse, little more than a $500 coffee table conversation piece since I concluded the surprisingly satisfying Ryse.

Meanwhile, the avalanche of “60 minutes of exclusive content” given to the PS4 versions of games has solidly cemented it as the new entertainment system of choice for many previous Xbox fans. While I’m sure that the fandom is enough to keep the XBOne alive, I see many people switching to PS4, but not the other way around.

All right, Ted, 4 paragraphs in and you still have yet to talk about Sunset Overdrive! That has to be a new record for you! No, true reader, I can easily sit through eight whole dates of awkward conversation skirting before I tell a girl I like her! Still, there is a point to all this exposition. I don’t think anyone is oblivious to the fact that the game came out a whopping 35 days before I wrote this. So, why the delay? Well, first off, my boss didn’t give me the game until a week ago, the day before I started a new job, so thanks for that, Steve. Please hold all this responsibility for me while I tell people how it’s your fault. Secondly, almost all the reviews for the game had come out by the time I had already received it, so I figured I could take my time with it and not rush a 30+ hour game to meet deadline. What I found is that Sunset Overdrive is not only a content rich and deeply engrossing title, but might actually be the most compelling new title on the new console market to date.

This is a bit baffling, since the game received some mediocre scores from some very big names. This game was a big deal for Microsoft, as they had wooed their previous enemy Insomniac Games into making an early life XBOne exclusive. This was big news, and given that other Xbox exclusives have included showstoppers like Gears of War and the original Saints Row, anything less than perfection would not be tolerated. With a relatively low Metacritic score of 82% and a score of 7/10 from the traditionally Mountain Dew Doritos flavored Gametrailers, it seemed like this game was destined to be a forgotten last cough of the XBOne. And yet, one by one, friends crawled out of the woodwork to tell me the game was actually pretty decent. Eager to suss out the truth, I clenched my jaw and fired up the game.

After spending the time with it that I did, I can say that the game is certainly better than an 8/10 rounded. I can see some flaws, and I can see how some people might give it an 8/10, but as an aggregate that is far too low for the game. People giving this game anything less than a 9 should be the outliers, but somehow have become the majority. So, to address this, along with the review, I’m going to attempt to explain why people really weren’t keen on Sunset Overdrive.

Let me start off by saying the game is certainly smug. It throws around memes like your father does empty beer bottles, and with about as much respect for their integrity. There is no denying that a guy shooting an exploding dog going, “Wow. Much killing. Much awesome. Most boom,” is obnoxious. The moment the words “awesomepocalypse” come out of someone’s mouth, it is only a natural human response for your hand to ball into a fist. If the game were to have a celebrity lookalike, it would be Dane Cook. But just like you cannot judge a book by its cover, you cannot judge a game by how punchable its face is.

If you stick with it, you’ll actually find the game is pretty cleverly written. There’s a difference between being obnoxious and being funny, and Sunset Overdrive is that kind of “goofy guy of the group” funny that at first seems desperate but enough beers in makes you laugh. And just as alcohol makes women more attractive and that old guy at the bar seem like not such a bad guy, the chaotic punk-infused action of Sunset so does lull your brain into simplistic bliss. The jokes evolve past simple memes, and the protagonist’s quips begin to grow on you. There’s an old saying somewhere along the lines of saying that its impossible to explain a joke, so I will just say that the moment I fired my empty pistol and a little flag popped out that said “bang” on it in big cartoon letters, I started chuckling and didn’t stop till the credits rolled.

I will also admit that the combat can be a bit aggravating. The game insists that you stay “cool” to build up your combo meter. This involves acrobatic gameplay such as bouncing off of cars or dumpsters, running off of walls, vaulting over ledges, and grinding on rails. Once you get the keys down, traversing the city is easy and a blast. In the heat of combat, trying to switch between your fire gun and spear gun to maximize damage while trying to figure out which direction the camera thinks backwards is so that you can turn around on the pole instead of drop down into an underhang can buy you a trip to Home Depot for some materials to fix that controller shaped hole in your wall. At times, the game’s desire to be stylish can get in the way of its ability to be playable. In this review, this will be the sole point deduction for the game. While it certainly does not make the game unplayable, at times I found it slightly hindered my enjoyment.

Outside of that little bit, the guns are awesome and feel awesome. I read in some reviews that the guns weren’t creative, to which I would counter with a request for them to provide any other game in which the first weapon you receive is a flaming shotgun that looks like a penis. Oh, I’m sorry, was my flaming shot-cock not cool enough for you? Here’s a teddy bear grenade launcher. There are entire freaking levels where they just have you use new weapons, like a gun that lures a murderous robo-dog using a robo-cat as bait. Sliding along rails and raining indiscriminate death with a freeze gun that I have modified to drop exploding teddy bears when enemies die is a level of balls-tingling joy I have not felt since I used a car as boxing gloves in Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

Progression is pretty simple. You buy guns with money the monsters drop and cosmetics with money the people drop. Collectibles unlock new AMPs, which are basically the game’s plasmids. Weapon AMPs change the properties of weapons, while player AMPs give you boosts like flaming bounce jumps or a knockback dash. As the player builds style, these AMPs kick in, and you go from feeble peasant to Lord Murderton of the Kingdom of Pain. While towards the end this makes the game a bit easy, I cannot stress enough how much having a flaming cock- gun makes me care so little about that.

The story is fine. They never explain why you have these crazy acrobatic powers, but it doesn’t matter. They never explain how the survivors stay alive, but it doesn’t have to. I am a big believer in games not having to answer all the questions I have, as long as the game works for what it is doing. I do not care how Rapture got built, as long as it serves as a dystopian nightmare. I don’t care where Anakin Skywalker came from; I just want Darth Vader to force-choke people. The storyline for Sunset is surprisingly robust for how stupid the game is and does a more than admirable job of tying the whole package together.

As far as content goes, along with the lengthy main story, there are 56 challenges and a few hundred collectibles to get. Collectibles unlock new amps, and challenges give you money to buy new stuff with. Guns level as you use them, reaching maximum power at level 3. The map is larger than Infamous: Second Son and benefits from abundant fast travel points. It is large enough and diverse enough to be interesting, but not sprawling enough to be a turn off. The same thing goes for the challenges. There is enough variety between races, weapon challenges, score attacks, and destruction challenges that every time you walk up to one of the spinning green icons, it feels more like an exciting “what’s next” than a grind. As far as the collectibles go, they are collectibles. You collect them. You will if you are a completionist, and you won’t if you have a job.

All right, so the content is vast, gameplay new and exciting, combat fun if a bit clumsy in closed spaces, story better than needed, and humor great. The graphics are great too, but seeing as how this is a next gen game, it only seems reasonable to talk about graphics when they fail to water eyes. So why did this game get so many mediocre scores? To be frank, I wouldn’t be too surprised if many gamers were turned off by the game’s attitude. As I said before, the game tried to be “different” and “edgy” and “not what all those LAMEstream games are all about.” This message seems horribly desperate coming from Microsoft, who seem to have divined that they would now be the underdog and therefore need to pander to youth culture. Yeah, man, we aren’t like those jocks that play CoD and beat up nerds; XBOne is the console of the kids who know what it’s like to have a real personality. By the way, please buy these 5 Halo games in one. So, you can’t really blame critics from being turned off right away by what seems to be Insomniac’s blatant attempt to out-youth-culture Second Son.

I don’t want to attribute all the hate towards Microsoft bashing, but how the fuck do we live in a world where Killzone: Shadow’s Fall scored an aggregate 12 points higher than Ryse? Sure, Ryse’s quicktime events didn’t punch you in the nuts if you failed them, but at least it wasn’t another samey shooter that critics have been complaining are ruining the industry. You know, the same critics that give a different style new IP launch title in a relatively untouched setting 12 whole points lower than the fourth main franchise installment in a samey shooter series. Seriously, guys, the Xbox already cut off the Kinect, the arguably only compelling feature of the console, to appease you. Does it have to cradle the balls too?

Sunset Overdrive is fucking great, and if you don’t think so, you don’t know how to have fun.

Just a little while ago we put up Sundance’s Park City at Midnight announcement, and one of the film’s playing at Utah’s big dance is JM Cravioto’s Reversal. Moments ago word came regarding what’s next for the director.

Screen Daily is reporting that the producers behind Mexico-based Dark Factory have mapped an ambitious road ahead after securing a Sundance world premiere berth for their first English-language production.

Daniel Posada and Jason Tamasco are preparing a February start on 100 Cries, the horror follow-up from Reversal director JM Cravioto.

Paradigm represents domestic rights to 100 Cries, a re-imagining of Ramón Obón’s 1965 Mexican horror classic 100 Cries Of Terror that will feature a US cast. The project is part of Dark Factory’s slate of US productions that will shoot in Mexico and receive marketing support to a global audience.

origials209sWe’re not sure when this whole mid-season finale craze got so popular, but we have to admit we like it.  Instead of just leaving us with a regular old ho-hum episode before taking off for a few weeks during the holidays, shows are now ramping things up and giving us cliffhangers.

Next week’s Episode 2.09 of “The Originals,” entitled “The Map of Moments,” looks to be prepping a doozy of a white-knuckler, and here’s a sneak peek in which Klaus takes aim at Kol.

A HOLIDAY REUNION — When Rebekah (Claire Holt) notices an unusual change in Elijah’s (Daniel Gillies) behavior, she asks Klaus (Joseph Morgan) and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) to meet her at their safe house, reuniting them with baby Hope.

After reliving memories of being the odd man out, Kaleb (guest star Daniel Sharman) opens up to Davina (Danielle Campbell) about his resentment towards his siblings and sheds some light on a spell he created in 1914. Meanwhile, when Cami (Leah Pipes) discovers Esther’s (guest star Sonja Sohn) plan will put her life in danger, she demands answers from Vincent (guest star Yusuf Gatewood), who remains steadfast in his convictions.

Elsewhere, Esther makes an unlikely alliance that could prove dangerous for Klaus, and Hayley makes a decision that could change her relationship with Elijah forever. Lastly, while Elijah continues to struggle with the lingering effects of being captured, Rebekah and Klaus devise a plan to take their mother down once and for all. Leslie Libman directed the episode written by Marguerite MacIntyre and Julie Plec.

Brad Fuller Updates on Next Friday the 13th Movie; Not a Remake. Not a Sequel.

0
0

Ever since we learned that another Friday the 13th is in the works, we’ve been left to wonder what direction will be taken with it. Will it pick up directly after the events of the 2009 remake or entirely reboot the franchise for a second time? Neither, says the man in charge. Read on for the surprising latest!

In an interview with the Brazilian website Omelete, Fuller revealed that both the original franchise and remake continuities will be thrown out the window the next time Jason appears on screen, as his company Platinum Dunes is looking to go in an entirely new direction.

We did a reboot in 2009, and now in 2014 we are focusing on a different story to Jason,” said Fuller. “There won’t be a continuation of the 2009 film nor a remake of the originals – just a different story.”

Though it’s been reported that Fuller also stated the film might be set in the 1980’s in order to evoke the spirit of the original Friday the 13th, that information doesn’t appear to actually be relayed in the interview.

As far as we know, David Bruckner (The Signal, V/H/S) will be in the director’s chair, but Fuller didn’t comment on that. He also made no mention of the planned November 13, 2015, release date, though it’s likely that the film won’t be ready by then.

When reached for comment about the upcoming film, Jason’s reaction to Fuller’s comments was predictably hard to read…

Z Nation’s Cast and Co-Exec Producer Talk Tonight’s Season Finale Episode 1.13 – Doctor of the Dead; New Stills and Behind-the-Scenes Video

0
0

Syfy's Z NationSyfy and The Asylum recently hosted a roundtable discussion with “Z Nation’s” co-executive producer/writer Craig Engler and series co-stars Kellita Smith (Warren), Keith Allan (Murphy), Pisay Pao (Cassandra aka Sunshine), and Nat Zang (10K) about tonight’s season finale, Episode 1.13, “Doctor of the Dead”; and we have the highlights for you right here.

And that’s not all! We also have some new stills from the ep to share along with a behind-the-scenes video of how “Z Nation” composer Jason Gallagher scores the show.

Beware of a few spoilers if you’re not totally caught up.

Q: Craig, what can you tease about the finale?

Craig: I was hoping I wouldn’t get that question because it’s so hard. The finale is awesome, and I think it will go in a direction that no one is anticipating. I think one of the hallmarks of “Z Nation” is that people are always saying, “Oh, I wasn’t expecting that,” and I’m thinking that people will be saying, “I wasn’t expecting that” times ten.

Keith: I would say that Murphy has reached his boiling point.

Craig : I think that after this episode, things aren’t going to be the same for anyone.

Q:  What sorts of lessons do you guys hope to take from Season One going into Season Two?

Craig: I think what we have learned is that people like what we’re doing. We have taken a different path from any other show in this realm. What we’ve heard from viewers is, “We really love the unpredictable stuff, the crazy stuff, but we also really like the dramatic stuff, the character stuff.”

So we want to continue what we’re doing, times five. We’ll see how many zombie animals, different kinds of interesting zombies, character storylines, and “deep” storylines we can do.

Kellita: I agree!

Craig: This is a story where the leader is an incredibly wonderful, strong black woman, and I don’t think we get enough credit for that. People were upset when we killed Harold [Perrineau] in the first episode, and they were saying, “I can’t believe they killed off the black guy right away.” And I was thinking, “Just wait until Episode 6!”

Kellita: The lesson is to continue to celebrate this opportunity we have to play the way we get to play. Great writing only inspires an actor to play.

Pisay: There are not a lot of strong black females leading a group like this on TV. I love that it’s different from what you see going on in other TV shows.

022

Keith: One thing I hear from fans is that they’re really loving the balance we have of the drama and the comedy that goes into this show. We’re not afraid to have a laugh at the genre, the zombies, and at ourselves. When I watch horror, I want to be grossed out, I want to be scared, and I want to laugh at the same time.

Q: Citizen Z (played by DJ Qualls) is one of my favorite characters. Will he ever get to reunite with the rest of the group?

Craig: That would be such a total and utter spoiler one way or the other. I’ll say that many things have been discussed and many things will be discussed surrounding Citizen Z, and I’m not at liberty to divulge that.

Keith: He does not play well with others. Let’s just say that.

Q: Keith, is your character, Murphy, at all similar to you?

Kellita: Yes!

Nat: Keith is definitely not a dick!

Keith: Yes, there certainly are similarities to me. I’m not quite such a dick in real life. There are aspects of me that are in Murphy. I do have a very snarky quality to me. But it’s all about amplifying those aspects when you’re playing a character like that. You hit on certain qualities that you would not in daily life. I wouldn’t use these qualities, but I certainly have them.

Pisay: I find it interesting that Keith is often the leader of our group off-set. He’s always planning events for us! Murphy would not do that.

Kellita: Actually, he’s a very, very, very lovely gentleman. Only if he’s hungry, he’s a little bit like Murphy. But the beautiful thing about Murphy is the life that Keith breathes into the character.

001

Q: I’m loving that the show is an ensemble. For each actor: Do you have a favorite character moment or something that has surprised you about your character?

Nat: My favorite moment for my character [10K] is in Episode 10 when we’re at the nuclear reactor and I have to once again kill a father figure…but actually I didn’t kill him. I wanted to, but I couldn’t.

Keith: I have a lot of favorite moments. One thing that I’m really loving is the moments between Kellita and myself, because we have such a love-hate relationship – mostly hate. But as the show progresses, we’ve found respect for each other. And I think those moments are very telling for a couple of characters who have been through a lot and seen a lot. We’re cutting each other some slack, digging deeper, and finding an emotional commonality with each other.

Pisay: I have two favorite moments. The first was in, I think, Episode 4 or 5. This is my favorite moment for us as a group: when we think Doc is a zombie and we shoot him. I think it’s the first scene when all of us are standing around and we’re just beaming and we’re so excited. My second would be from Episode 13, which I can’t talk about.

Kellita: I have a few moments. I would have to take it back to what Keith has said. The moments that come off the page are what an ensemble is all about – the moments where people connect. Like when I get to call Nat “baby boy” and “young eyes.” And Mack and Addy, for my character, are “little brother” and “little sister.” And Cassandra is the “young beauty,” in my mind. And Doc, I call “New Orleans.” He’s not from anywhere, but he’s from somewhere. He is New Orleans.

It’s being able to connect in ways that are hopefully resonating on screen. But…hands down, it would have to be all the action I get to do.

Craig: One of my favorite character moments for Warren and Murphy is in Episode 10, when Keith is going to take off in the plane and they possibly might not see each other again and they have this great little moment. I wouldn’t say it was warm and fuzzy, but I do think it was a great moment.

In terms of Mack and Addy, I think what happens is that they live happily ever after in the survival compound and then they find a cure for the plague…

Q: I know the chances of getting a straight answer from Craig on this are slim so, actors: Do you have a mental wishlist of things you’d like to see for your character or for future episodes?

Keith: I would love to have some flashback moments to Murphy’s life before the apocalypse – aside from my Nexium commercial.

Craig: [laughs] That is one of my favorite parts of watching the show live. My friends always ask, “Is that Murphy?” I tell them it’s Murphy pre-Z.

Keith: I would love to find out about Murphy’s backstory. Like everyone else, he’s lost everything. I don’t think you start out being an asshole; I think it’s an acquired set of circumstances. I think that’s fascinating to find out about.

Pisay: I would love to do a flashback to Cassandra’s life, too. I know we did kind of do a backstory before, where you see where she was before she joined the group. I love flashbacks. I think they add so much depth to a character’s story. I think it’s a great way to keep the audience in suspense, too. I would love it.

Kellita: First of all, I need a new outfit. [laughs] I am pleasantly surprised by this role. I just want to continue having the balance of leadership and sensitivity, but I want to allow my femininity to breathe a little bit more. Usually at the table read, I don’t say much—I’m good.

Nat: I’m excited to see where Murphy is going, actually. As we saw in the last episode, he’s starting to get these powers – I want to see where that goes. And I just want to see where the story goes; it’s really exciting.

10K is kind of growing up in this apocalypse, and I think it’s interesting to see how he forms into a person, living in this crazy world. One of the things I’ve tried to bring to this character is that even though the world is messed up, he’s still going through the things regular kids go through.

Keith: You don’t think 10K should get laid? [laughs]

Craig: I will say something about Season Two. There are two cool things I’m hoping we can do, no idea if we can. I have to talk about it with Karl [Schaefer]. One cool character and one cool event. Is that cryptic enough?

Q:  What would be your dream weapon to fight zombies with?

Pisay: One of Cassandra’s weapons is her body – no, not in that way! She’s small and really quick, and running away from zombies is key. And I would love a small, really strong pike. Something quick. Just pike ‘em in the head and be on my way.

Kellita: I think I’m already carrying my weapons of choice – it would not just be one. Definitely a sword or a machete or a faster, rounded kind of firearm. A sexy little automatic pistol. Something sleek. But definitely more than one weapon.

Nat: I think we should all just get Z-whackers. They seem to be really effective. I think we need one for the whole team, a stockpile of Z-whackers.

Keith: I’m gonna go with mind control. Who needs a pike when you’ve got mind control? My backup weapon would be other people that can fight for me.

016

Q: Where would you like to see your characters go in Season Two?

Kellita: Great question. We should ask Craig.

Craig: I have some plans for Roberta. We have to run everything by Karl.

Kellita: This whole journey has been a surprise – we don’t get to know a lot about the scripts ahead of time. But whatever they give me, I welcome it.

Q: I love that Murphy kind of has control over zombies and humans. What is he evolving into, and what else is he going to be able to do?

Craig: He’s evolving into something, and what that is I can’t say. Karl and I have had very interesting discussions about the endgame for Murphy. But hopefully that’s very far down the road!

Keith: Thank you!

Craig: Murphy is this great character, and we haven’t seen his character before in this realm – he has a lot of evolving to do. And we’re trying to do some interesting stuff in Season Two that we don’t think has been seen before in the world of zombies.

Q: I have a question about deaths in the family, so to speak. Craig, if you have someone that’s going to be written out, do you tell them early on? And actors, do you get worried about being called into the office for that conversation?

Keith: You gotta be prepared for anything. They set that early on, with killing off Harold in the first episode. You gotta be prepared to file your unemployment early on.

Craig: Harold knew his role was a single episode. Tom [Everett Scott] knew he was there for a limited engagement; that was planned.  But all the deaths and departures in the show have to be meaningful. We don’t kill anyone off for no reason. It has to build the story and tell the stories of our world – and one of those stories is that no one is ever safe. I think we demonstrated that with Tom’s character.

With Addy—not all our characters are as invested in this mission as you might think. And she realized, “This might not be the best thing for the world, but it’s the best thing for me.” And her decision leads to Mack making his decision. All the decisions should come out of the characters. When Addy left the show, we had lots of discussions about what happens to groups over time: Everyone has that one friend who drifted out of their group.

And Tom’s character died for a real reason, too: to save Murphy. And Harold’s died because he made a mistake – everyone makes mistakes, even in the zombie apocalypse.

Q: How would you want to be killed off?

Nat: If I were going to be killed off, I would want it to be the ten thousandth zombie that I have to kill.

Craig: If you died at 9,998, that would be worse than death. I would like to be in the writer’s room, and then a zombie apocalypse really happens, and I die.

Keith: I would like it to be an epic battle. I would love it to be an amazing, insurmountable fight scene where Murphy gets to be a badass for once.

Pisay: If Cassandra goes, I want 10K  to be the one to take her out. I think that everyone has an opinion about that relationship—some think she’s too old for him, some think that there is a relationship. Whatever it is, I think they have a real bond. And if you’re gonna go out, you want it to be the one closest to you who gives you mercy.

018

Q: Any parting thoughts?

Pisay: Can I say something about the finale? I know a lot of people have been telling me that they have a lot of anxiety about it—but I’m equally really excited about it. Be excited.

Keith: I’ve had a blast working on this show. It’s been a joy showing up on set every day. We work our asses off, too! We shoot these episodes in 6 days, which is very fast for TV. I have to say that our crew and cast have really stepped up and met the challenge of doing a show this involved, to really make something that is a lot of fun and very special.

Craig: My parting thought: We are so super thankful to the fans who have embraced the show, talked about the show, told their friends about the show. We had our highest 18-49 rating on Episode 11, which is amazing. It’s amazing to have a high note three quarters of the way through the season.  We are tremendously thankful to the fans for watching the show. They have just been fantastic, and we want to thank everyone for that.

Kellita: Fan response has been amazing. In Los Angeles for Halloween, there were a couple of people walking around as Murphy and Warren. That was amazing.
