There’s an interesting interview over at Reuters with Paul Schrader the director of the original Exorcist prequel, now called Dominion and on IMDB.
“My feeling now — more than vindication, more than revenge — is relief. I don’t have to spend the rest of my life explaining what my film was like,” Schrader told Reuters…
…Schrader said he found “The Beginning” so bad that he left the theater smiling because he thought “Dominion” might have a chance at being released…
…”From the time I left that screening, I began a long campaign to come to this day,” Schrader said…
…Schrader said the production company decided the movie might be able to recapture some of its original investment, principally due to DVD sales.
“Thankfully, greed has won,” Schrader said with a laugh.
Some very interesting comments, and an interesting read for a few of the other titbits. Now will the seeing live up to it’s hype, or will it be as bad but for reasons on the opposite end of the spectrum?
