Довольно интересное интервью с Джошем о фильме "30 дней ночи" :
Josh Hartnett

Josh Hartnett is amused to be called a “Hollywood cad”, having been linked with Scarlett Johansson and Rihanna in recent months. But the truth is, the 29-year-old star largely keeps out of the limelight, and that includes keeping away from the kinds of places Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan hang out. Apparently he prefers to go back to Minnesota, where he was raised, rather than spend too much time in Tinseltown.

In his latest film 30 Days of Night, Hartnett is joined by Australian actress Melissa George and veteran actor Danny Huston. In Barrow, Alaska, the northernmost town in the U.S, the winter sun sets and does not rise for 30 days and nights. From the darkness comes an evil force that strikes terror on the town, and all hope is pinned on a husband-and-wife cop team.

When do you think vampire movies started getting off course?
Maybe with Bram Stoker’s Dracula?
JOSH HARTNETT: I love that movie. I really like and appreciate vampire movies so I don’t have any qualms with where the vampire movies have gone. But I think 30 Days of Night is definitely bringing it to a different place, a much more terrifying place. I don’t mind not being scared if I can see a guy giving a performance way, way outside the bounce like Gary Oldman. He is so intense and he gives great performances.

What about the Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt’s Interview with a Vampire?
[Laughs] But that was a very incredible sexy movie.

But maybe too sexy for a vampire movie. They should have been more ferocious.
That’s the thing [director] David Slade really wanted to stir away from in this film. He didn’t want the vampires to be fashionistas [laughs]. He wanted them to be feral, scary and aggressive. I like the curiosity of Danny Huston’s personification of the vampire, the way he looks at the humans. We are food but it was also something he was studying. You’ve been a vampire for such a long time that he didn’t remember humanity in some ways. I like the idea of humans being chased for something that is pure evil. We are not to fall in love with them as Winona Ryder falls in love by Gary Oldman in Dracula. But they are very different kind of movies, different genres or different ways to look at it.

How do you deal with rumours?
95 percent of them are false and I just laugh about them. It’s funny how they connect you to everyone in the room. They called me a Hollywood cad. I think it’s fantastic, having only been in two real relationships in my life.

Are you surprised that you’d be called a Hollywood cad?
No it doesn’t surprise me because they want to make a story out of anything, really. It’s a slow news day I guess. I think that’s just the bread and butter of a lot of magazines these days. They sensationalise everything because they don’t have a story. They’ll write whatever they can get their hands on it. I think the more you stay out of the spotlight the more believable you are as an actor. You don’t want anyone knowing about your life anyway.

Did it appeal to you that this movie was not a genre piece but had space for characters to explore different things?
Honestly, a vampire film wasn’t at the top of my list. It was because of the people involved and the script. I thought it was something that was really elevated. My favourite scary movies have always been films like Alien and Jaws, films that have good acting and an interesting visual and are suspenseful at the same time. Not necessarily just gory. And this film, even though it has an amazing amount of blood in it, is suspenseful.

You don’t really like scary movies?
I guess it depends on the scary movie. I don’t like a lot of the scary movies that are made today because they’re blood baths. I don’t think there’s a lot of art that goes into it. I think what’s great is a good scary movie that has a story to it. The way it folds itself out. And you have room in supernatural movies to create visuals that you couldn’t create in other types of movies. You can bring people to a world that you couldn’t realistically otherwise.

You mentioned the intensity of Gary Oldman’s performance in Dracula. Is that something you aspire to?
I want to grow constantly. I think people have more potential than they give themselves credit for – in this industry specially. When you work with great directors, you can really throw yourself to them and they can find a way to work with you. For a long time I was completely terrified to look like an idiot on the screen. Now I’m becoming less and less worried about looking like an idiot and more and more worried of not fully embodying every emotional state the character has to have. I think I’m driven by fear. I’m trying to pick directors that I really feel comfortable with. In the past, I was much more interested in how the role was.

Ещё одно интервью с  Джошем про фильм "30 дней ночи", кажется такого не было
Josh Hartnett: Night fever
A stylish adaptation of the cult comic book, 30 Days of Night sees Hollywood heart-throb Josh Hartnett play a sheriff attempting to defend a small Alaskan town against a vampire attack. “I think fans will be happy,” he tells David Grove.

What attracted you to this project?
I hadn’t read the graphic novel before I was sent the script, so I read both at the same time. I’ve always been a big fan of vampire films, but the real reason I was drawn to the project was because of the people who were involved as I’ve never been a big comic book fan.

I saw Hard Candy, David Slade’s last film, and I was blown away by how good it is and what a good job David did with the characters. Then I flipped through the comic books and I was amazed by the visuals in the books. I thought that the combination of the exciting source material and David’s vision would make for a great film.
What did you like about your character, Eben Oleson?
What I liked about the comic books was that there was room for a lot of interesting characters - both the human characters and the vampire characters.

Eben’s a small town guy who lives in Barrow, Alaska, in the middle of nowhere, and he’s the sheriff, the authority figure, along with his wife. They represent the law in this barren place, the only sign of authority because there’s nothing else around.

If you’ve ever been to Alaska, there’s a lot of reasons why people would want to live in such an isolated and bleak setting. It’s an amazing, haunting location to set a film in, and a great location for a horror film. I thought the film had a great premise in that you have these characters who are stuck in this situation where there’s no way out, literally. You’re being hunted by these vampires, and there’s really nowhere to run.
What was it like working with David Slade on his first big studio film?
David’s a great director. We actually met for the first time when he came to Minnesota, my hometown, and met me in a bar to talk about doing the film. He had a digital camera and he took pictures of the place and of me and then sent the pictures back to me, which he’d edited and added stuff to. The pictures were very dark in terms of the surroundings and that was David’s way of showing me what his approach was going to be for this project. I could tell he had the right vision for the film.

David’s a great director to work with because he doesn’t let the special effects or the violence ever overwhelm the characters. He understands that you have to care about the characters before you care about what happens to them, like if they’re about to be eaten. He’s also been extremely faithful to the comic books in terms of the vampires, the look of Barrow and the characters.
How do the vampires in 30 Days of Night differ from other movie bloodsuckers?
That’s what I loved about the comic books. I loved the fact that the vampires looked different and acted in such an unconventional way. The teeth are jagged, their faces are ripped to pieces and they’re just killing machines.

What’s unique about this story is that it plays on the idea that vampires have become these mythological beasts. They’re not taken seriously because people either don’t believe in vampires or they’re not scared of them anymore because vampires have been treated in such a silly way in recent years.

In the film, the vampires have a real sense of mystery in terms of where they came from and who they are. They maintain their mystery by making things look different than they are - they kill somebody and make it look like it was an accident so they don’t draw attention to themselves. By the time the killing becomes an epidemic, everyone’s dead and they leave town. They look for a town, like a Barrow, that’s isolated, that’s cut off, and they kill everyone they can find and they kill any witnesses…It’s definitely a new take on vampires.
What was it like working with Danny Huston, who plays the chief vampire Marlow?
Danny’s a great actor, and his performance in the film is amazing. He’s terrifying! As soon as he appears you can tell he’s the leader of the pack because of the great authority he has in terms of his physical presence, his eyes, the way he’s dressed.

Danny had a tough job because he had to wear contact lenses along with teeth and nails. He would actually wear that stuff when he went back to the hotel so he could stay in character. His character speaks in a different language that sounds really creepy. Danny’s a really nice guy himself, but when he walked around in costume he scared people!
What was the biggest challenge in making the movie?
We filmed in Auckland, in the snow, and we filmed at night for weeks. It was a very long shoot, one of the longest I’ve been involved with, about 50 days. We filmed in this town in New Zealand where the locals basically let us take over the town completely.

I think the biggest challenge was just trying to bring the essence of the comic book to the screen, and I think David’s done a great job. The drawings in the comic by Ben Templesmith are so shocking and grotesque that it’s almost impossible to duplicate them exactly on-screen - but I think we’ve gotten as close as possible. I know that Ben and Steve Niles are very happy with what they’ve seen. If they’re happy, I think fans will be happy as well.
]Are you a fan of horror movies?[
Yes, I’m a fan of the horror genre, of any genre as long as it’s good. I’ve always been a fan of vampire films. I haven’t done a horror film since I did The Faculty with Robert Rodriguez, and before that I did Halloween H20. The reason is I never found the right combination of good material and good people that I wanted to work with, until I talked to David and Sam Raimi about doing this. I thought it would make for an interesting film, and I would also be able to say that I starred in a vampire film, which has always been a dream of mine.

Будет ли сиквел 30 дней ночи ?
Это значит, что должно быть продолжение комиксов  С. Найлза.
Будет ли Джош принимать в этом участие? очень проблематично...учитывая развитие сюжета)))

30 Days Of Night Sequel May Go Straight To DVD

Ever since 30 Days of Night surprised some by being #1 at the box office when it opened last October, there have been rumblings about a potential sequel. After all, the movie was based on a series of graphic novels by Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith, so the content is there as long as someone is willing to do something with it.

And if you believe Bloody Disgusting, the plan for Ghost House Pictures is to turn the next installment of the novels into a straight-to-DVD feature. But according to ShockTilYouDrop, Niles himself has said that “There's not one bit of truth to that.” Niles has reportedly always supported a sequel, so presumably what he means here is that, if there is a sequel, it will be released in theatres.

Now it's possible that both sites are right, and Ghost House Pictures has a plan that Niles doesn't know about. And as the author of the series, you can see why he wouldn't want to see his book turned into a direct-to-DVD release. What's interesting about 30 Days of Night is that, even though it was a #1 hit for a weekend, it only grossed $39 million domestically, well below box office receipts for horror movies like The Grudge that kicked off legitimate franchises. While there may be plenty of fans of the graphic novel who would flock to theatres to see a sequel, the producers may very well not believe it's worth the investment for a second one. Plus, bringing back actors like Ben Foster and Josh Hartnett would be fairly expensive, and in the world of direct-to-DVD, anything goes when it comes to casting.

We'll only know in the coming weeks whether Bloody Disgusting or Shock Til You Drop—or both!-- have it right, but at the moment I'm leaning toward the direct-to-DVD option. Even in the limited realm of vampire movies, when you don't have guaranteed box office, you don't have a guaranteed theatrical release.
