Horror
documentary steps into next phase
Leviathan:
The Making of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 completed
it’s UK studio shoots this week with a great day interviewing Third
assistant director, Rupert Ryle-Hidges, Beverly Pond-Jones, Make up Effects and
Simon Sayce who’s main contribution to the production was the design and
creation of the icon puzzle box, the Lament Configuration.
Simon
was kind enough to show us some amazing treats including high resolution scans
of the original designs, original layouts for the mechanical design and the
first brass etching produced for the screen used boxes, though still in
pristine condition and never used.
Simon
also explained to us the proper method for making the boxes, something few
outside the production know and he showed us some of the hidden meaning in the
box designs, but you’ll have to watch the documentary yourself to find out what
they are.
It
has been an amazing journey so far for the whole team. Having had the chance to
meet the people behind this classic film, including Doug Bradley, Kenneth
Cranham and Geoff Portas to name but a few.
“Never
it our wildest imaginations did we think that within 5 months we would have
completed 24 UK interviews. We have been amazed with the amount of
support given by the cast and crew as well as the fans.“ says producer and
Co-Writer, Gary Smart
The
documentary moves into the next stage in a few weeks with the team beginning
its US phase of production to interview, amongst other, Tony Randall and pf
course the man himself, Clive Barker.
“I’m
so keen to meet Clive and get a chance to speak with him, not just for the
documentary, which at the end of the day is exploring his creation, so needs
his voice to make it complete but also as a film maker myself, meeting some one
who is so creative and talented and achieved such great things, is a genuine
thrill and honour”
Says
Director K. John McDonagh.
Pencilled
for an Autumn release worldwide, Leviathan has been going great guns since day
one and hopes are high that this will give the fans of Hellraiser something
they’ve never seen before.
