Let’s be creative and remix it, because the best remixes are as creative as the original song. And that’s how I really strongly feel about it.
And so, if I can abridge that, then the movie becomes a creative challenge, because it’s like, okay, well, 500 pages of a book is not going to translate into a 105-minute movie, so the word I always use is remix. Ness: And I was like, all of you people who are arguing against this that it’s going to bomb, oh, it’s going to ruin the memory of the first one? I’m like, well, did you see Ghostbusters 2? It’ll be fine to just calm down and enjoy the movie, you know? And so, that’s how I feel about the books.
It’s like, remember all the absolute nonsense about the Melissa McCarthy Ghostbusters, all that stupidity? Ness: I have a really strong philosophical approach to that, which is, first of all, the book remains. How difficult is it to stay true to the novel, whilst also allowing the film to breathe the way it needs so?
And so, that’s where it began, a place where you had to share.ĬS: You cowrote the screenplay to the film alongside Christopher Ford. But I thought, well, what about the privacy you need when you make a mistake? Do you really want to screw up something and then have it on YouTube an hour later? And so, I began to wonder, well, what if there mixed logical steps that you had no choice but to share out, so you think, what might that be? And particularly what it might be if you were young. And as I’m doing it, this is like, this is not all terrible because social media has allowed people to find their tribes and so there’s lots of great stuff. You know, how much of ourselves we felt obliged to share. You know, in 2007, even then, when social media was sort of in its first golden age, I was still fascinated by the idea of how much people feel obliged to share. Patrick Ness: It started with an idea of information overload, you know, when I was writing it, even back in the - I mean, I’m a grandpa, 2007. Doug Davison (who worked with Liman on American Made) and Alli Shearmur ( Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Cinderella) are producing Chaos Walking with Robert Zemeckis and his ImageMovers’ partner Jack Rapke.ĬomingSoon: How did you come up with the Chaos Walking trilogy?
