Tam sim no rov qab, nws hloov tawm tias nws mus ntxiv dua li leej twg tuaj yeem xav txog thiab khaws ib tus neeg, lossis ib yam dab tsi, ntawm txoj kev.

Anderson's nightmarish epic boasts ib pawg neeg tua neeg uas suav nrog Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, thiab Sean Pertwee. Kuv tau nrog tus kws ua yeeb yaj kiab rov mus saib dua Kev tshwm sim Horizon raws li nws tau muab rov ua dua li Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Blu-duab tshav SteelBook los cim lub sijhawm tshwj xeeb.

Nws yog ib zaj yeeb yaj kiab uas kuv tau hlub rau ib lub hlis twg ntawm ib puas xyoo. Nws kuj ib txwm xav tias zoo li movie ua ntej ntawm nws lub sijhawm. Koj puas xav ib yam li ntawd?

Paul W. Anderson: Kuv tsis xav li ntawd thaum kuv tab tom ua tab sis txiav txim los ntawm cov lus teb tsis zoo nws tau txais thaum twg Kev tshwm sim Horizon yog thawj zaug muab tso rau hauv theatre, thiab tom qab ntawd cov kev ntseeg tom qab nws tau loj hlob dhau sijhawm, uas yog qhov tseeb. Tus txiv neej uas tso nws tus ntiv tes rau nws yog Kurt Russell, uas kuv tau mus ua yeeb yaj kiab nrog tom qab Kev tshwm sim Horizon hu ua Soldier. Kuv tau tshuaj ntsuam Cov kev tshwm sim rau nws, thiab nws tawm ntawm nws thiab hais tias, 'Paul, nyob rau hauv 20 xyoo, uas yuav yog tus yeeb yam koj zoo siab heev uas koj ua.' Nws hais yog lawm, thiab kuv xav tias yog lub siab dawb siab zoo rau ib tug txiv neej uas kuv tab tom yuav mus ua movie. Nws tsis tau hais tias peb cov yeeb yaj kiab yuav yog ib tus neeg yuav nco qab hauv 20 xyoo, thiab nws yog ib tus txiv neej muaj kev paub dhau los hauv kev lag luam. Kuv xav tias nws pom qhov ntawd, koj paub, yog ib yam uas yuav los ua kom pom tseeb hauv ntau xyoo uas ua raws li nws qhov kev tso tawm thawj zaug.

Thompson: Nws nyob qhov twg rau koj ntawm koj txoj haujlwm? Peb paub tias cov neeg thuam yeej tseem tsis tau koom nrog nws thaum lub sijhawm, tab sis tam sim no nws tau suav tias yog classic.

Anderson: Nws yog ib qho uas kuv nyiam ua yeeb yaj kiab. Kuv zoo siab heev rau nws. Kuv txaus siab rau cov neeg tuaj saib nws tau tsim tom qab nws tso tawm thawj zaug, thiab kuv nyiam ua nws. Nws tsuas yog kuv zaj yeeb yaj kiab thib peb thiab kuv thib ob rau Asmeskas studio. ParamountLUB NEEJ
muab nyiaj ntau rau kuv siv los tsim cov txheej txheem loj loj no thiab tso cai rau kuv tsim txom Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, thiab txhua tus neeg, muab lawv tso rau hauv cov ntshav, qhwv lawv rau hauv cov hlau barbed, dai lawv upside down on cables thiab twirl lawv ib ncig. Kuv zoo li ib tug me nyuam nyob rau hauv lub sandbox. Nws zoo heev.

Thompson: Ntawm qhov ntawd, kuv nco qab tias ntawm ib qho ntawm cov khoom ntxiv, Jason Isaacs tau hais tias nws ib txwm xav tuav lub neej-loj, gutted prosthetic version ntawm nws dai rau hauv cov yeeb yaj kiab. Nws yeej tsis paub dab tsi tshwm sim rau qhov ntawd. Koj puas paub nws nyob qhov twg?

Anderson: Kuv tsis tau muab rau nws vim kuv hais tias, 'Jason, qhov ntawd tsuas yog mob tiag tiag, thiab koj tsis tuaj yeem muaj qhov ntawd. Koj tsis tuaj yeem dai qhov ntawd hauv koj lub tsev. Tsis yog lawm.' (Luag) Nws tsis yog ib qho khoom uas kuv xav tau hauv kuv lub tsev, tab sis Jason xav tau. Kuv tsis paub tias nws nyob qhov twg lossis qhov kawg tshwm sim rau nws. Txog rau lub hlis tom qab ntawd, kuv tau mus rau Sean Pertwee lub tsev, thiab qee qhov nws tau txais lub taub hau qw ntawm nws, qee lub taub hau prosthetic, thiab kuv tsis paub tias nws tau txais qhov twg. Tej zaum nws mus ncaj nraim mus rau cov neeg prosthetics thiab nug.

Thompson: Kev tshwm sim HorizonTus tsim tawm, Jeremy Bolt, tau hais txog Blu-duab tshav tshwj xeeb uas koj txhua tus tau siv los dai ntawm Soho House thaum nws tseem tshiab ntawm London scene. Koj yuav tau ntsib thiab tham txog zaj yeeb yaj kiab, tab sis kuv xav paub ntau npaum li cas ntawm cov khoom koj tau tham hauv cov kev sib tham tau cuam tshuam rau zaj yeeb yaj kiab kawg.

Anderson: Kuv xav tias zaj yeeb yaj kiab tau teeb tsa ua ntej peb pib tua. Kuv tau raug cuam tshuam los ntawm kev ua haujlwm ntawm cov neeg pleev kob zoo li Hieronymus Bosch thiab Pieter Bruegel, kev yees duab ntawm Joel-Peter Witkin, thiab kev tsim vaj tsev ntawm lub tsev. Kev tshwm sim Horizon Lub nkoj tau ua raws li Notre-Dame Cathedral hauv Paris. Qhov ntawd twb tau kaw ua ntej peb pib tua, thiab nws yuav tsum yog vim cov no yog cov loj loj thiab nthuav dav tsim. Kuv xav tias dab tsi tawm los ntawm kev sib tham peb tau muaj ntau yam ua cim. Nws tsuas yog kuv zaj yeeb yaj kiab thib peb xwb, thiab kuv tau ua haujlwm nrog qee tus neeg muaj kev paub dhau los, zoo li Laurence thiab Sam. Kuv keeb kwm yav dhau tsis yog los ntawm kev ua yeeb yam, kuv tsis tau muaj kev paub ntau dhau los ua haujlwm nrog cov neeg ua yeeb yam, thiab lawv tau nyob rau qib sib txawv. Lawv tau muab ntau yam ntawm lawv cov kev paub dhau los, kev txhawb nqa, thiab cov lus qhia uas lawv yuav muab, uas tau pab ua yeeb yaj kiab ntau. Thaum Laurence Fishburne tham rau koj txog kev ua yeeb yam, koj mloog.

Thompson: Koj yog tus thawj coj muaj peev xwm heev; koj tau muab zaj yeeb yaj kiab studio no, tab sis qhov peb pom ntau npaum li cas yog vim lawv cov kev taw qhia?

Anderson: Hais txog kev ua tau zoo, kuv tau coj los ntawm lawv heev, thiab kuv tau qhib siab kom cia lawv sim thiab sim ntau yam. Ntau qhov quirks ntawm lawv cov cim yeej yog los ntawm lawv. Nrog Sean Pertwee tus cwj pwm, ntau tus Sean Pertwee persona yog tam sim no nyob rau hauv Kev tshwm sim Horizon. Kuv cia nws khiav amok, zoo li nws tau, thiab kuv zoo siab heev nrog cov txiaj ntsig. Jason Isaacs tau ua haujlwm hnyav heev. Kuv tsis xav tias Asmeskas cov neeg tuaj saib paub tias nws yog leej twg, tab sis koj tuaj yeem kos kab ncaj qha ntawm qhov uas Jason tau ua hauv Kev tshwm sim Horizon thiab qee qhov nws cov yeeb yaj kiab loj dua tom qab ntawd.

Thompson: Peb pom flickers ntawm ntuj raug txim scenes thoob plaws hauv cov yeeb yaj kiab. Koj siv sijhawm ntau ua yeeb yaj kiab; ntau txoj haujlwm tau mus rau hauv lawv, suav nrog cov sijhawm npaj. Koj tua ntau cov duab, thiab peb tsuas pom me me xwb. Koj puas tau xav txog kev ua ntau dua nrog qhov ntawd thiab ntxiv rau hauv lossis, raws li koj nyiam kos duab, tsim kom muaj kev nthuav tawm ntawm qee cov duab zoo nkauj?

Anderson: kuv tsis muaj. Kuv xav tias lub hwj chim ntawm cov duab ntawd los ntawm qhov tseeb tias nws muaj kev txwv ntau thiab peb qhia ntau npaum li cas ntawm nws. Kuv tau muaj coob leej tuaj cuag kuv thiab piav txog tej yam txaus ntshai uas lawv tau pom hauv cov duab uas kuv tsis tau tua, tab sis vim nws luv heev, lawv tau xav txog nws. Kuv xav tias nws yog lub zog ntawm kev ua kom luv luv thiab luv luv li peb tau ua.

Thompson: Rau ntau lub luag haujlwm, koj tau nyeem ob tus txiv neej thiab poj niam, thiab nws tau txais txiaj ntsig zoo heev. Puas yog ib yam dab tsi uas koj tau ua txij thaum ntawd los, los yog dab tsi yog qhov tshwj xeeb rau Kev tshwm sim Horizon?

Anderson: Tsis yog, kuv tau ua qhov ntawd hauv ntau cov yeeb yaj kiab. Kuv tab tom npaj ua yeeb yaj kiab tam sim no uas yog kev hloov pauv ntawm George RR Martin zaj dab neeg hu ua Nyob rau hauv Lost Lands, thiab peb tig ib lub cim los ntawm ib tug txiv neej mus rau ib tug poj niam. Tus antagonist tseem ceeb ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab tau sau raws li hom nqaij nyuj, tawv, txiv neej 45 xyoo. Tus cwj pwm tam sim no tau ua si los ntawm tus poj niam zoo nkauj heev uas yuav ua tau zoo dua hauv lub luag haujlwm thiab ntau dua. Kuv yeej ib txwm xav tias nrog tag nrho kuv cov yeeb yaj kiab.

Thompson: Nrog Kev tshwm sim Horizon, koj puas yuav luag cam lwm tus ntawm kev ceeb toom hauv ib lub luag haujlwm, txiv neej lossis poj niam? Puas yog peb yuav luag tau Charlize Theron hauv Sam Neill lub luag haujlwm lossis qee yam zoo li ntawd?

Anderson: (Laughs) Qhov ze tshaj plaws uas kuv tau tuaj txog yog zaum thaum kuv ua kuv thawj zaug, Khw. Peb tau ua tiav qhov kev ua yeeb yam tsis paub no, Jude Law, uas tau mus ua haujlwm zoo heev. Lwm tus neeg ua yeeb yam peb saib, leej twg ua tau ntau dua Jude tab sis tseem tsis tau paub zoo, yog tus tub hluas no hu ua Ewan McGregor, uas tsis ua phem heev, ib yam nkaus. Kuv tsis tuaj yeem ua yuam kev nrog ob qho ntawm cov kev xaiv ntawd. Kuv yeej ib txwm txaus siab rau qhov zoo ntawm ntau haiv neeg ntawm casting. Kuv pom kuv tus kheej ua ib tug neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab thoob ntiaj teb; Kuv yog ib tug neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab Askiv uas nyob hauv Los Angeles thiab ua cov yeeb yaj kiab uas feem ntau tau txais nyiaj txiag nrog kev sib txuas ntawm cov nyiaj los ntawm thoob plaws ntiaj teb. Kuv cov yeeb yaj kiab tau muaj kev vam meej tshwj xeeb hauv Nyij Pooj, yog li kuv pom kuv tus kheej ua tus tsim yeeb yaj kiab thoob ntiaj teb es tsis suav nrog ib qho chaw tshwj xeeb. Vim li ntawd, kuv yeej ib txwm nyiam kom muaj ntau hom kev ua yeeb yam hauv kuv cov yeeb yaj kiab.

Thompson: Muaj ib yam dab tsi quintessentially British txog Kev tshwm sim Horizon nrog cov ntsiab lus ntawm Hammer Horror thiab Lub Haunting kom ntau li ntau lub hnub ci ntsa iab. Nws ntaus kuv zoo li cov yeeb yaj kiab uas, hauv qhov version no, tsuas yog ua los ntawm tus kws ua yeeb yaj kiab Askiv xwb. Koj puas tau muaj neeg hais li ntawd rau koj ua ntej?

Anderson: Kuv tsis tau, tab sis thaum koj xav txog lub tsev haunted classic, koj xav txog lub tsev haunted British. Thaum koj saib cov yeeb yaj kiab uas cuam tshuam rau peb, zoo li Robert Wise's Lub Haunting, ib tug American filmmaker, thiab lub hnub ci ntsa iab, uas peb pom tseeb riff ntawm me ntsis ib yam nkaus, rov ua los ntawm Asmeskas cov neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab, cov neeg ua yeeb yaj kiab tau muaj txiaj ntsig tseem ceeb hauv tebchaws Askiv rau lawv lub neej thiab ua haujlwm ib yam nkaus.

Thompson: Koj muaj hnub yug thaum ua yeeb yaj kiab Kev tshwm sim Horizon, ib tug ntawm cov cam khwb cia hu koj Happy Birthday, thiab lawv muaj ib lub suab zoo kawg. Koj ib zaug tso dag tias tej zaum muaj ib hnub twg yuav tsum ua Event Horizon: Lub Suab Nkauj. Paulus, peb nyob ze npaum li cas? Puas yog qhov ntawd puas tau tuaj, txawm tias nyob hauv jest?

Anderson: (Laughs) Zoo, Kuv yog suab nrov lag ntseg, yog li kuv yuav nyob deb ntawm nws.
