He directed ‘Home Alone’ and wrote ‘Gremlins,’ among other holiday classics. Now he’s producing the wintery vampire drama alongside his daughter—and sharing real-life horror stories about how Chevy Chase chased him off ‘Christmas Vacation’ and the clash he endured with Donald Trump over ‘Home Alone 2.
In fact, Columbus has been helping produce the eerie, unsettling work of writer-director Robert Eggers since the filmmaker’s first feature, 2015’s The Witch, which was followed up by his 2019 madness-at-the-edge-of-the-sea drama, The Lighthouse. “Just because I make a certain, specific kind of film didn’t mean I wasn’t in love with every other genre of filmmaking,” Columbus tells Vanity Fair.
He was actually hung up by his neck and died. We killed the dog! Didn’t the gremlins devour him too? They ate him! Then they went into McDonald’s and ate the people—but not the food. We had a lot of things that didn’t make the final script. Honestly, that stuff is in my DNA, so it is a joy to come back to something like Nosferatu. I felt that Rob certainly went for it, and I had no problem with that.
