![]() Christopher thought, wouldn't it be hilarious if, just for the people that notice it, that the doctor in Dark Knight is the same as the doctor from Memento? And that was certainly my favorite kind of inside joke, because I got to go to London, and be in The Dark Knight Rises. My involvement in Dark Knight Rises is really just an inside joke based on the fact that I'm the doctor in Christopher Nolan's Memento. I gotta ask about your small part in the Chris Nolan Batman movie. What is it about those sensibilities that tend to mesh so well? Danny McBride and David Gordon Green are doing the new Halloween film. It feels like there's a intersection between comedy and horror. I haven't looked at Udo's IMDb lately, but I feel like it's almost like Danny Trejo-level, in the many hundreds, I imagine.Īs far as your whole career goes, I'd venture you're still best known for comedy if you were going to pin things down. He's probably been in more films than you. I'm going to be covered in blood, and I'm going to get to hang out with Udo Kier. And then of course, the completely impossible-to-describe Udo Kier, which was, you know.Okay, two things about Puppet Master: I was like, Look, this won't be boring. Like spending time with, getting to do scenes with Nelson, and Charlyne, and Jenny Pellicer, who's great. ![]() PUPPET MASTER REBOOT MOVIEIt's kind of an honor, you know? The movie was enormously fun. ![]() People go real deep on these movies for sure. I'm sure in the promotion of this film you're talking to a lot of hardcore Puppet Master fans, and trying to keep up. Which is Puppet Master, and Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. There's a whole lore people really pay attention to.Īs of today, I've currently seen two. Each of the puppets have names and appear in different movies. Looking at the Wikipedia page for the Puppet Master stuff, I was shocked at how extensive it is. And my thought was, No matter what happens making this movie, it's never going to be dull. I was like, "I don't think we can make this as a movie." Then I went and I watched the first Puppet Master with William Hickey. So I just read the script, which seemed completely psychotic. But, as for Puppet Master, I was pitifully unaware of the franchise. I was shocked too! I love Brawl in Cell Block 99. And I saw that it was written by, like, a real screenwriter, which kind of shocked me. ![]() I got this script, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich. How did you get involved in this new one? I was shocked at, first of all, how little I knew about the franchise. Some of the evil little woodentops favour stabby, slicing gadgets and nasty rictus grins exploiting the possibilities of recent technology, some have little drone propellers.I'm curious about Puppet Master. Of course, all come to life and start killing the visitors – starting with Jews, Gypsies, lesbians and people of colour – not long after the stylishly designed opening credits have finished. The plot gathers geeks, collectors and true-crime obsessives in a small Texas town for a convention centred around mysterious murders from the 1980s that involved a creepy old man with a Nazi-connected past and a menagerie of vicious-looking foot-high puppets. One unfortunate chap, for instance, gets up to have a wee in his hotel room only to be decapitated mid-stream, soaking his own head as it falls. Meanwhile, the supporting players scream expressively as their guts are torn out, and their (latex) bodies are dismembered in a variety of creative ways. ![]() It’s not going to win any points for originality, but the main cast is pretty good at turning a line or dropping a quip, particularly Nelson Franklin as a sardonic-cum-heroic comic store owner named Markowitz. T his horror flick combines some standard scary-movie components – evil toys, gory deaths played for laughs, snarky self-referential humour – and manages to make a reasonably competent, mildly amusing monster mash. ![]()
