Abruptio---James-Marsters-Interview
James Marsters details the makings of Abruptio and how the new puppetry horror story challenges the genre. As the horror genre has continued to evolve in Hollywood, 2024 is bringing a new twisted experience through the magic of puppetry. However, rather than focus on a serial killer targeting an ensemble, the Abruptio movie takes a very twisted approach.
James Marsters On Bringing A New Horror Concept To Life With Abruptio "I always wanted to try to do as many different genres in film as I could." Screen Rant: I love horror films, but this is something very different, can you take me back to when you first got attached to this project? You've done so much over your career, but this feels very, very different because I don't think anyone's gonna look at puppets the same way after this.
I can only imagine what it must have been like to have read the script for the first time. Because even without seeing the imagery, I imagine reading it must have been very intense? Because I feel everything Les does gets worse and worse and worse. How was it reading for the first time? Yes, because of the way that they produce these puppets, they look like human flesh, it doesn't look animated. It doesn't look CGI - I'm very pro-practical effects, especially with how people rely too much on CGI these days. So for me, seeing it as very realistic as possible.
James Marsters: We all paint a portrait of ourselves that's very flattering, 'I'm a good person. I would never do that.' It's only when we get in those situations that we really find out who we really are. Being that I'm unlikely to be in that situation, I hopefully will die not knowing what I would do if I was put in that situation and I can just keep my fantasy that I'm a good man. I hope I am.
But sometimes having that information would be really important. I was doing a video game for DC called DC Universe Online. It's still up and running, by the way.
James Marsters: Yeah, they've been at this a long time and I agree with you. If you're going to approach puppetry and make it hyper-realistic, as strange as that sounds, the mastery of the puppetry to be very subtle. It's not a project where you're getting wide-puppet eyes, and then they shake, and they go off. It's just a slight tilt of the head and a slight fluttering of the eyes.
It's an entirely different kind of thing, it's nothing that an A.I. would ever have thought of, so it's a great argument for... I think that A.I. is gonna be great at telling stories that other A.I. are going to enjoy very much. But if I want a story that's gonna affect me as a human being, it has to be driven by a human being at the end of the day. I think if we lean too much into A.I., we're just not going to be surprised as much as audience members.
Now that you've broken into horror in this capacity, would you want to revisit horror again? Whether it's through more puppetry or animation, depending on what the product is? James Marsters: I've got a show on Amazon Prime called Casa Grande, which is not genre. It's an update of Upstairs, Downstairs, which was an English TV series about rich people living in a manor with a privileged life and the servants who served them in that manner. Both sides were human, and neither side understands each other. There's a cultural gulf, there's a wall between them, and they don't understand each other.
James Marsters Reflects On His Smallville Legacy & Future Hopes For Brainiac I've seen you back now with the guys on Talk Ville and Inside of You. It's always great seeing all of you guys reunite after all these years. I know that Tom and Michael have talked a lot about how they want to bring back the show as an animated sequel that they're trying to develop right now.
