Thaum lub suab paj nruag sequel rau lub iconic thawj zaj duab xis tsaws nyob rau hauv theaters, nws yog heev ignored los ntawm cov neeg tuaj saib thiab lambasted los ntawm critics. Tam sim no, nws tau ua kev zoo siab rau nws lub 40th hnub tseem ceeb, thiab ib zaug-maligned yeeb yaj duab tau cult classic raws li txoj cai.

Obviously, yog tias nws xav kom nws lub siab, nws yuav zoo dua.

Kuv tau ntes nrog Caulfield los tham txog lub luag haujlwm nws ib zaug xav tias tau tuav nws txoj haujlwm rov qab thiab yuav ua li cas cov xwm txheej kev ntseeg ntawm Roj 2 thiab Cov Ntaub Ntawv Teev Tseg tau yeej nws thiab nws cov hauj lwm tiam ntawm cov kiv cua tshiab.

Simon Thompson: Ua ntej ntawm tag nrho cov, ua tsaug rau tham txog Roj 2. Kuv yog tus kiv cua ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab, tab sis kuv paub tias nws zoo li tus albatross nyob ib puag ncig koj lub caj dab ntev ntev. Koj xav li cas tam sim no, thiab thaum twg qhov kev hloov pauv rau koj?

Tsis ntev los no kuv nyuam qhuav pib paub tias zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas kuv hlub yog li cas nrog ib tiam neeg tshwj xeeb thiab tej zaum nrog cov tiam tom ntej uas txuas ntxiv mus nrhiav pom. Ntau tus neeg tau saib cov yeeb yaj kiab thaum muaj hnub nyoog tsim nyog thiab xav tias, 'Au kuv tus Vajtswv, kev lom zem tsev kawm ntawv theem siab yog dab tsi.' Cov neeg npau suav mus kawm ntawv theem siab thiab ntsib cov neeg zoo nkauj, ua kev zoo siab rau lawv cov tshuaj hormones tawg, thiab cia siab tias yuav tsis tsim pob txuv txaus ntshai li kuv muaj thaum tseem hluas. Nws xav li cas? Nws zoo nkaus li txawv me ntsis, tab sis thaum koj mus saib thiab saib cov yeeb yam cim los ntawm ntau xyoo dhau los, cov neeg tuaj saib xav hnov ​​lawv hu zaj nkauj uas lawv nyiam uas pab pawg hu nkauj tau 40 xyoo. Cov neeg tuaj saib xav kom lawv hu nkauj nrog gusto thiab mus, 'Wow, dab tsi yog pro uas lawv tsis nkees heev ntawm strumming tib chords thiab ntaus tib cov ntawv tom qab tag nrho cov xyoo no.' Roj 2 yog ib qho ntawm peb cov nkauj, yog li kuv yog hom ntawm lub luag haujlwm-ua txhua yam kom txaus siab rau nws, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog tias nws tau raug lees paub los ntawm cov neeg uas tam sim no paub tias zaj duab xis yog ib nrab tsim nyog.

Roj 2 yog, thiab yog, tag nrho ntawm kev lom zem. Yog tias koj muaj hmoo txaus los ua ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas muaj sia nyob ntawm lub sijhawm sim, koj tuaj yeem thov dab tsi ntxiv? Peb txhua tus nyiam ua Cary Grant thiab tau ua ntau yam classics uas tib neeg tseem tham txog, thiab tsis muaj dab tsi zoo dua li nrhiav tau ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab thiab mus, 'Au kuv tus Vajtswv, tsis xav tias zaj yeeb yaj kiab no tseem ua si ntawm TCM.' Funnily txaus, Roj 2 tau qhia ua ib feem ntawm virtual TCM Classic Film Festival hauv 2021, yog li kuv xav tias nws qhia koj ntau nyob ntawd. Nws yog ib yam ntawm tag nrho validation. Ua ke nrog Maltese Maltese Liaj, Los ntawm No Mus Nyob Ib Txhis, Ib txhia nyiam nws kub, thiab tag nrho cov no zoo kawg movies nyiam lub godfather, kuv tsis hais Roj 2 yog nyob rau hauv cov pab koomtes, tab sis qhov tseeb tias tib neeg tam sim no pom nws txawv yog qhov tseem ceeb.

Thompson: Nws yuav luag zoo li Roj 2 puas yog ib qho ntawm Hollywood qhov qias neeg me me cinematic secrets?

Caulfield: Kuv yeej tsis nkag siab tias vim li cas txhua leej txhua tus yuav mus, 'Dab tsi yog stinker.' Kuv tsis xav tias yog, tab sis kuv twv yog tias txhua tus neeg hais thiab sau nws, tej zaum nws yog qhov phem tiag tiag ntawm thawj tus. Kuv hlub thawj tus, thiab kuv xav tias John Travolta yog qhov zoo heev. Nws tsuas yog zany xwb, thiab pom tseeb, nws tau txais lub suab zoo kawg thiab cov neeg tua neeg txav. Kuv xav tias, 'Auj, ua li cas, zoo, kuv zoo li tus txiv neej pluag ntxiv, thiab kuv yuav zoo dua txais nws.' muaj peev xwm tham txog cov yeeb yaj kiab txhua xyoo tom qab no thiab tsis yog tsuas yog qhuas xwb tab sis kuj tuaj yeem txaus siab rau nws yog lub sijhawm txaus siab heev. Lub sijhawm tau los, thiab albatross thaum kawg ploj mus.

Thompson: Ib cag ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab tau nrov nrog cov neeg tuaj saib, nws kuj yog qhov kev tshoov siab rau kev tsim khoom hauv London's West End.

Caulfield: Yog lawm. Kuv xa lawv ib hom lus zoo tshaj plaws uas kuv ntseeg tias tau tshaj tawm txoj cai ua ntej qhov yeeb yam. Tej zaum lawv yuav coj kuv rov qab los ua lub luag haujlwm Tab Hunter. kuv tsis paub. Tej zaum kuv laus dhau rau tus ntawd?

Thompson: Koj puas yuav poob rau qhov ntawd? Kuv paub tias muaj qhov kev thov rau qhov kev tsim khoom hauv London.

Caulfield: kiag li. Kuv yuav vwm tsis tau. Nws hu ua Txias Rider, uas yog ib lub npe zoo. Kuv yuav poob rau nws yog tias nws tsis cuam tshuam los ntawm kev ua yeeb yam. Kuv tuaj ntawm theem dheev yuav yog me ntsis ntawm gimmick, thiab tsuav yog nws tsis dheev rub cov neeg tuaj saib ntawm cov khoom tsim thiab cov lus piav qhia, nws tuaj yeem ua tau zoo. Koj yuav tsis xav kom cov neeg hauv cov neeg tuaj saib tam sim ntawd zoo li, 'Au, kuv tus Vajtswv, nws ua si tus txiv neej hauv zaj yeeb yaj kiab.' Txhua leej txhua tus yuav paub yog tias lawv yog cov kiv cua loj txaus ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab. Lub luag haujlwm nkaus xwb kuv tau tso tseg luv luv ntawm kev ua si yuav yog tus txiv leej tub hauv kev sib tw ncaws pob hauv Roj 2, qhov twg Michelle hais tias nws yuav hnia tus txiv neej tom ntej uas los ntawm lub qhov rooj, thiab nws yog tus txiv neej laus tiag tiag (luag).

Thompson: Yuav ua li cas zoo li ntawm teeb. Puas yog tib neeg txaus siab rau nws? Cov cam khwb cia yog tiag tiag eclectic, superb, thiab ncaj qha cuam tshuam rau lub sijhawm ntawd.

Caulfield: Ua tsaug, yog. Nws yog qhov tshwm sim tiag tiag cast. Nws yog kev sib xyaw ntawm thawj Broadway yeeb yam uas tau tshwm sim hauv zaj duab xis. Qee tus tub hu nkauj tau ua thawj zaug, yog li lawv coj qhov tseeb Roj zog. Patricia Birch tau choreographed theem yeeb yam thiab thawj zaj yeeb yaj kiab thiab ua tau zoo heev. Kuv tsis paub ntau npaum li cas txoj haujlwm zoo uas nws tau ua ua tus thawj coj txog thaum kuv pom nws ntawm lub vijtsam loj ob peb xyoos dhau los. Rau thawj thawj zaug, nws tau ua nws txoj haujlwm ntau dua.

Thompson: Koj tau muaj peb lub luag haujlwm uas tau dhau los ua ib feem ntawm cov kab lis kev cai pop, uas yog Miles Colby hauv Dynasty thiab Cov Colbys, obviously Michael nyob rau hauv Roj 2, thiab Rex Manning hauv Cov Ntaub Ntawv Teev Tseg. Puas yog Rex Manning spin-off project puas tau tham vim tias cov neeg tuaj saib tau cuam tshuam rau nws txoj hauv kev loj?

Caulfield: Tsis yog, tsis muaj leej twg xav txog qhov ntawd, tab sis kuv xav, zoo li nrog Roj 2, yog vim zaj movie no tsis tiav. Yog Cov Ntaub Ntawv Teev Tseg tau raug ntaus, yuav muaj Empire Cov Ntaub Ntawv 2, thiab koj tsis tuaj yeem ua qhov ntawd yam tsis tau coj Rex Manning rov qab rau hauv daim ntawv twg. Tej zaum nws yuav tau ntxhua ntau dua, thiab nws cov plaub hau tau pib poob tawm. Koj yuav tsum tau koom nrog Rex Manning rau hauv nws. Kuv twb hnov ​​tias lawv tab tom ua ib qho yeeb yam ntawm qhov ntawd thiab. Ob leeg Cov Ntaub Ntawv Teev Tseg thiab Roj 2 yog prime fodder rau ua theem productions. Ntau qhov kev txhawb siab no lossis kev txhais lus rov qab thiab kev hloov pauv ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab tau tshwm sim hauv West End lossis ntawm Broadway thiab dhau los ua neeg nyiam heev. Tsis muaj dab tsi lom zem tshaj li kev ncig xyuas nrog cov yeeb yam zoo li ntawd, tshwj xeeb hauv UK. Kuv tau ua nws me ntsis ua ntej muaj kev sib kis. Kuv tawm mus rau ntau qhov kev ncig xyuas zoo li Singin 'In The Rain thiab Cov me nyuam thiab me nyuam roj hmab, kuv ua Chicago nyob rau sab hnub poob kawg, thiab tsis muaj dab tsi lom zem dua li ua si cov chaw ua yeeb yam Victorian loj hauv nroog loj thoob tebchaws Askiv.

Thompson: Nws yog kev quaj ntsuag uas peb tsis tau txais ntau dua Cov Ntaub Ntawv Teev Tseg thiab Rex Manning.

Caulfield: Cov yeeb yaj kiab, thaum lub sijhawm, ploj mus rau hauv qhov tsis meej, tab sis cov neeg tuaj saib lub hom phiaj tau pom nws hauv video, puag nws, thiab ua rau lawv. Tag nrho pab pawg neeg no zoo siab heev thaum koj mam li paub txog lub hwj chim. Nws zoo li cov hauv paus rau cov ncaws pob me uas tau poob rau hauv qab rau 30 xyoo, thiab tom qab ntawd mam li nco dheev, koj tab tom ua si hauv PremierPINC
Pab Koomtes thiab tuav koj tus kheej. Koj zoo siab, thiab zoo li koj yog ib feem ntawm ntau haiv neeg tsawg uas tau paub txhua yam raws li lwm tus tab tom nrhiav. Nws yog hais txog ib txwm ua kom tus npau suav ciaj sia. Kuv txoj hauj lwm ua ib tus neeg ua yeeb yam yog ua kom kuv txoj kev npau suav ciaj sia thiab tsis txhob poob siab dhau los ntawm kev sib tw ntawm kev ua haujlwm tau zoo hauv kev lag luam lom ze. Nws tsis yooj yim. Kuv tau ua haujlwm nrog Ed Asner ntawm qhov tsis paub meej Christmas zaj yeeb yaj kiab me me uas kuv tsis paub meej tias tau ua tiav tiav, thiab peb tua nws zoo li ob xyoos dhau los. Ib tug tub ntxhais hluas ua yeeb yam muaj qhov me me hauv zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas peb tua hauv Illinois, thiab nws tau mus rau Ed thiab hais tias, 'Koj tau yeej tag nrho cov khoom plig Emmy. Koj yog tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm Screen Actors Guild, koj ua kev zoo siab heev, thiab kuv yog ib tus neeg nyiam ntawm koj txoj haujlwm, tab sis nws yuav siv li cas? Koj yuav ua li cas koj thiaj ua tau?' Thiab Ed hais tias, 'Kuv qhia koj seb nws yuav siv li cas. Hmoov zoo thiab ntau ntawm nws.' Qhov tseeb tiag. Ntseeg hauv koj txoj hmoo.
