Shane Black, writer of "Lethal Weapon" and writer/director of the new film "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang" is writing a horror film for himself to direct next it seems. Here's what he told Suicide Girls about the project:
Question: What are you writing right now?
Black: I''m trying to write an elegant horror thriller. When I say elegant, I mean there's no slasher or chainsaw or anything like that. I want to do something that's a bit more freakish, but not in that kind of 80's way. I'mtrying to go back to my favorite horror films, which tended to be more in the 70's like The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby.
Question: Are you going for a religious horror story?
Black: I''m not sure yet. There's no character who's a priest, but I may in fact end up looking at it and saying, "The message of this is almost religious". I don't know. Certainly good and evil.
Question: Are you going to be breaking clichés again like you did with Kiss Kiss?
Black: I think if I did it the way that I did in Kiss Kiss, then it would be a cliché because I'd be doing it again. I've got to figure out a brand new way to get juice out of the horror genre. Not even new juice, just capture the things that I like and leave behind the things that I don't. I'mcurious to see how I would do a horror film because I love horror films so much, but I only like specific things. It would be like a banquet where you get to pick the stuff you like and leave the rest.
