We spoke w/ John Carpenter about 'Escape From L.A.' and why he doesn't revisit his own movies.
John Carpenter hasn't needed an introduction for decades but we'll give him one anyway. The legendary filmmaker is responsible for directing and composing some of the most revered movies in history, with Halloween, The Thing, and The Fog ranking among his best.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Collider So I'm going to start with a couple of soft ball questions, just to kind of ease us into the heavier stuff. So, if someone has never seen any of your work, I mean, what do you think the first thing they should see of your filmography is? What's a good introduction to your work?CARPENTER: I have no idea, I just made it up on the spot.Well, there you go.
CARPENTER: Well, the scenes guide the music, always. It's always the story first, story second, story third. Always. We score movies, or I score films after the movie's locked, the cut's locked, the final cut's locked, then we start working on the music and I just find it works better that way. More consistent. Just richer. The music and the movie are richer.
Regarding Escape from L.A., there was a pretty long gap between Escape from New York and Escape from L.A. How do you feel like your, if at all, your filmmaking style evolved and changed during that time? It was a 15-year gap.
