A laila aia / koʻu pili iā Dee Wallace - i nā lā mua o ka paʻi palapala ʻana i ka puke aʻu i hana pū ai me Dee ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o Monster Fest ma Melbourne. No laila ua kōkua kēia mau mea āpau i ke ala e hana ai i kēia puke kahi mākaʻikaʻi nui loa i loko o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni - mai kahi "hana" ʻana i ke kuanaʻike me kahi ʻaoʻao ʻike pū kekahi.

DG: He aha kāu hoʻolālā no ke kākau ʻana i ka puke, a pehea i ulu ai a wehe ai kēia i kou neʻe hohonu ʻana i ka hana kākau?

LG: Ua hoʻopau wau i kahi puke e pili ana i ka hana ʻana Ke Ala, a ua kuhikuhi maoli ia i kaʻu hoʻonohonoho e kākau i ka puke ʻO Cujo. Ke ala aʻu i hoʻolālā ai Ke Ala E hele ka puke i kahi hanana e kahi hiʻohiʻona a hoʻohui i nā ʻōlelo mai ka nui o nā nīnauele i loaʻa iaʻu no ia. Ua hoʻoholo wau he ala maikaʻi loa kēia e hele aku ai - e dissect maoli a loiloi i ka moʻoʻōlelo, nā mea kumuhana kumuhana, ke ʻano a me nā ʻano kaʻao o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi leo i ka poʻe i hana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻO Cujo hoʻonohonoho pono ʻia i ke ala like.

DG: He aha nā poʻomanaʻo o ʻO Cujo makemake ʻoe e mākaʻikaʻi me kēia puke?

LG: Nui a hewahewa nā poʻomanaʻo i ulana ʻia i loko o ka lole o ʻO Cujo - aia ke kumumanaʻo o ka haunaele i ke kūlohelohe, ka haunaele kūloko, ka hilinaʻi ʻole, ka mana o ke kanaka, ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana, ʻo Three Days of Darkness, ka "wahine i ka ʻino" archetype, hoʻolapanai, ka moʻo nui i manaʻo ʻia a maoli. ʻO wau e, he hohonu a hohonu ka ʻike o kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a he nui maoli nā mea e ʻimi ai.

Ua hoʻāʻo maoli wau e waiho i kekahi pōhaku me ka hoʻohuli ʻole ʻia.

DG: He aha ka pilikia nui loa i ke kākau ʻana i ka puke?

LG: ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he nui ka poʻe i hala hou ʻole me mākou e kupaianaha loa ka noho ʻana ma ka moku. ʻO kahi laʻana, ua hala ka mea kākau kākau ʻo Barbara Turner i ka mahina ma mua o koʻu hoʻomaka ʻana e hana i ka puke (e like me ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā nīnauele), a kaumaha kēlā no ka mea pili pono ʻo ia. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka mea hoʻoponopono, ʻo Neil Machlis, ka mea nāna i hana i kahi hana ʻoi loa, ʻaʻole ola hou, no laila he mea kupaianaha ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna manaʻo. Akā manaʻo wau he kanakolu ninaninau me kahi pūpū o nā alumni Cujo ke olakino e ʻōlelo iki.

DG: ʻO wai ʻoe i nīnau ai no ka puke?

LG: Dee Wallace, Lewis Teague, Danny Pintauro, Daniel Hugh Kelly - he nui ka poʻe. He haʻi moʻolelo kupanaha ʻo Gary Morgan; ʻo ia ke kāne i ka hoʻopiʻi ʻīlio! ʻO Teresa Ann Miller hoʻi i hōʻike i nā moʻolelo e pili ana i kona makuakāne, mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa holoholona Karl Lewis Miller, no laila, ʻoluʻolu ke hoʻolohe i nā mea āpau e pili ana i ka St. Bernards i hoʻohana ʻia no ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Aia ʻo Robert lāua ʻo Kathy Clark ma laila, a he ʻāpana lākou o ka hui SFX, no laila aia kekahi mau mea maikaʻi e kūkākūkā ana i ka ʻīlio animatronic, ke poʻo puppet, ka poʻo ʻīlio e hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoholoholo i ka puka Pinto a ʻoi aku. Ua nīnauele pū wau i ka poʻe e like me ka makuahine o Danny Pintauro, ka mea i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i loko o ke kīwī, nā poʻe i pili i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma mua o ka hiki ʻana o Lewis Teague ma luna o ka papa e like me ke alakaʻi i kuhikuhi mua ʻia ʻo Peter Medak (ʻo ia ka manawa mua āna i kamaʻilio ai e pili ana i kēia) a kāna DOP ʻO Tony Richmond. Nui ka poʻe ma aneʻi.

DG: E haʻi mai iaʻu i kahi mea e pili ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni aʻu e ʻike ʻole ai inā ʻaʻole wau e heluhelu i kēia puke.

LG: Auē, nui nā mea aʻu e ʻike nei ʻaʻole paha ʻike ka peʻa ʻoi loa. ʻO kahi mea i pīhoihoi loa iaʻu ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo aia kahi hiʻohiʻona i holoi ʻia a ka mea hoʻokani ʻo Robert Craighead i kamaʻilio mai ai iaʻu. Aia ma mua o ka hōʻike ʻana o ko Kaiulani Lee ʻano iā Ed Lauter ua lanakila ʻo ia i ka lottery a me nā manawa ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana o Ed i ka ʻenekini huki i kāna hale kaʻa. Pāʻani ʻo Craighead i kahi kāne lawe lima, a me kāna hoa, hāʻule i ka mīkini, a ʻike wale i kahi Cujo hoʻonāukiuki e lele a hoʻoweliweli iā lākou. ʻO kēia ma mua o ka loaʻa maoli ʻana o ka maʻi rabies ma ka pooch ʻilihune, no laila ke kānalua nei ʻo ia iā lākou āpau. Ua haʻi mai ʻo Craighead iaʻu ua manaʻo ʻo Lewis Teague ua pāʻani ke kahua i “mālamalama”, a e hoʻolei aku i ka poʻe hoʻolohe, ke ʻike nei ʻO Cujo ʻo ia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me kahi leo kūpaʻa mau. ʻO Craighead a me kāna hoa e holo wikiwiki ana i loko o kā lākou kalaka lawe, ʻo kekahi o lākou e lele ana ka manu i ka St Bernard. Loaʻa iaʻu kahi mea nui e hōʻike ʻia i loko o ka puke.

DG: Lee, ke nānā ʻoe i hope i ka kākau ʻana o kēia puke, aia paha kahi hoʻomanaʻo - a i ʻole hoʻokahi anekona i hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe e kahi kumuhana ninaninau - kū i kou manaʻo ke hoʻomanaʻo ʻoe i kēia kaʻina hana.

LG: He nīnau maikaʻi - akā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea nīnauele i hāʻawi mai i kahi ʻike kupaianaha e pili mau me aʻu. ʻO kahi mea aʻu e ʻōlelo ai he mea nui ia iaʻu ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ma kekahi ala liʻiliʻi, ua hoʻopili wau i kanakolukūmālua mau makahiki ma waena o Peter Medak lāua ʻo Lewis Teague. Ua haʻi mai ʻo Medak iaʻu ua hōʻole ʻo ia e nānā i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma hope o kona kipaku ʻia ʻana mai ka papahana (ʻo kēia wale nō ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni āna i kipaku ʻia ai - ua hele ʻo ia i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e like me nā papahana nui e pili ana i nā mea like me Barbra Streisand lāua ʻo Sean Connery, akā ʻo kēia ʻo ia ka mua i kipaku ʻia ʻo ia mai). Akā ma ke ahiahi ma mua o kaʻu nīnauele ʻana iā ia, ua nānā ʻo ia i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a ua pīhoihoi loa ia. I koʻu kamaʻilio pū ʻana me ia, ua haʻi ʻo ia iaʻu e hāʻawi i nā mahalo iā Lewis Teague. Ua hana wau i kēia, akā ua hana wau i kekahi mea hou aku. Ua hoʻolauna wau i nā kāne ʻelua, a ua hoʻomaha ʻia ka huhū āpau ma hope o kēia mau makahiki. He mea kūikawā loa ia.

DG: Lee, ke manaʻo wau ʻO Cujo, Manaʻo wau i ka lehulehu o Stephen King nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hōʻike ʻia mai ka wā mua o 1980 i. ʻO Cujo ʻo ia wale nō kekahi o nā hoʻololi ʻekolu a ka Mōʻī i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i 1983, me Christine, a, he oiaio, ʻO ka Zone Roʻa, ka mea he nui, me aʻu iho, e manaʻoʻiʻo nei ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻoi loa o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo King. Nīnau: He aha kāu i kau ai ʻO Cujo kaawale mai ke koena o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo King mai kēia wā manawa?

LG: ʻO ia - 1983 - he makahiki kupaianaha ia no ka King adaptations, ʻoiaʻiʻo. Aia he ʻekolu mau alakaʻi ʻoi loa e hana ana i kēia mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni - John Carpenter, David Cronenberg a, ʻoiai, ʻo Lewis Teague - a me nā lālā weliweli weliweli o kēlā me kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e like me Debra Hill a me Dee Wallace a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO Cujo mai nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e like Christine a ka Mahele make ʻo ia ka mea he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli i hoʻokumu ʻia i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO Cujo ʻo ia kekahi o nā moʻolelo kaulana ʻole a Stephen King (ʻO Misery hele mai i ka noʻonoʻo pū kekahi) ʻaʻole hilinaʻi i ka weliweli weliweli - ʻaʻohe ʻōpio telekinetic a i ʻole hale haunted a vampires a me nā kaʻa pepehi kanaka paha. Ma kahi o kahi moʻolelo maʻalahi ia e pili ana i ka wahine i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e kāna kūlana ponoʻī a laila hihia ʻia e kahi rabid 200 paona St. Bernard.

DG: ʻo Lee, ma waho o kāu mau nīnauele, he aha nā mea hou aʻe āu i hōʻiliʻili ai no kēia puke, ʻo ia hoʻi nā kiʻi, a pehea ʻoe i ʻike ai i kēia mau mea āpau?

LG: Nui nā noiʻi i pili, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mea he hihia ia mai nā mea nīnauele iā lākou iho.

DG: Lee, he moʻolelo ko kēlā me kēia hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, kahi paio ākea a i ʻole ka mele e wehewehe i ka hana ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Nīnau: He aha ke ʻano o ke ʻano i ka wā o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana, ma waena o ka mea hana keaka a me nā luina, a aia kekahi mau hakakā nui i ala aʻe i ka wā o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana?

LG: He kī ʻoi loa loa ʻo Cujo. Aia nā haunaele, nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa nui, ka nui o ke kuhi hewa a me ka inaina. Eia nō naʻe, ma ka ʻaoʻao o kēlā, nui ke aloha, kākoʻo, kūkaʻa, mālama, aloha a me ka lokahi. Makemake wau pili ia i ka mea āu e noi ai! ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mea ninaninau me he mea lā he pilikia me DOP Jan de Bont - ka mea i pane ʻole i nā noi, a no laila ua nalowale kekahi mai ka puke. Kupanaha ka hoʻolohe ʻana mai nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua a me ka hoʻolohe ʻana i ka makemake o ka poʻe like ʻole e hana - ʻo kahi laʻana, ua inaina ʻo Daniel Hugh Kelly i ka mea i kipaku ʻia ai ka papakaumaka o Barbara Turner no kā Don Carlos Dunaway kākau hou, ʻoiai ʻo Dee Wallace i makemake i ka “ ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ”ke hoʻokokoke ʻana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ke ʻano o ke kamaʻilio.

DG: Lee, ua manaʻo ʻia paha e luku aku i ke ʻano Tad ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, e like me ka puke, a aia kekahi mau moʻolelo ʻē aʻe i hoʻolei ʻia ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni?

LG: Nui a nui nā hoʻokomo o Dee Wallace no kēia hana a me kekahi mea lokomaikaʻi a manaʻo hoʻi e like me kā Lewis Teague i lawe ai i kēia ma ka papa. ʻO kekahi o ia mau mea ka luku ʻia ʻana o Tad. Ua kūpaʻa ʻo ia ʻaʻole make ke keiki, a ua ʻae ʻo Stephen King ponoʻī. ʻO kāna kiʻi kumu no ka pale kiʻi i loaʻa iā Tad ke ola i ka siege. Ma kahi o nā mea moʻolelo ʻē aʻe, aia ʻelua i waiho ʻia - hoʻokahi ka loulou ma waena ʻO ka Zone Roʻa a ʻO Cujo ma kahi e "manaʻo ʻia" ka ʻīlio i kahi ola hou o ke ʻano ʻo Frank Dodd (ka mea pepehi kanaka i loko ʻO ka Zone Roʻa). ʻO Barbara Turner kēia i pāʻani ʻia a hoʻolālā ʻia e kāna kiʻi o ka pale kiʻi. Ua aloha ʻo Peter Medak i kēia manaʻo. Ua hana pū lāua ʻelua i nā manaʻo.

No laila, he mana keu a kā Turner's screenplay. He mea kēia a Teague e hāʻule pau loa i kona wā i lawe ai i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. I ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ʻo Medak, ua ʻeha ʻo Turner no laila ua haʻi ʻo ia i ke keʻena e hoʻololi i kona inoa i nā hōʻaiʻē iā Lauren Currier, a ua kāpae ʻia kāna hana ma luna o ka subplot kupua. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo nā kaʻina hoʻopuni a pau kāna kākau ʻana.

ʻO ka ʻelele moʻolelo nui i hana ʻia i miniskule i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo ia ka pilina ma waena o ko Ed Lauter a me ko Kaiulani Lee ʻano - ʻo Joe lāua ʻo Charity Camber. Hoʻohui ʻia aia kekahi mea ma mua e pili ana i ka makaʻu cereal a pēlā aku. Akā ʻae, ua ʻoi aku ka wīwī o ke kīwī i ka hoʻokō hope loa.

DG: ʻO ka mea hope loa, e Lee, he aha ka moʻolelo o kēia puke, ka manaʻo āu e manaʻo ai e waiho ʻia nā mea heluhelu, e pili ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ka hana ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a me ka manawa o ka manawa i hana ʻia ai?

LG: Manaʻo wau e makemake kekahi i hoihoi i ka mōʻaukala kiʻiʻoniʻoni e hoʻolohe i nā moʻolelo mai ka hoʻonohonoho. Manaʻo wau he kuhi kupaianaha maoli ia o nā manaʻo hui a me kahi laʻana kūpono o ke kaʻina hana, ka ʻike noʻeau, a pehea e ʻimi ai nā mea pena.

Kauoha mua nope, ʻAʻohe mea hewa ma aneʻi: Ka Hana ʻana iā Cujo ʻaneʻi.
