where did all the threads go, you burning out?
I still got a lot left in the tank, but enough of this meta shit. Let's talk Snaps.
>Audience: Ginger Snaps is easily in my top five horror films of all time. I have two questions number one, were you involved in the two sequels?
>Karen Walton: No. I know my name comes up in the credits but for the characters. In Canada unlike the U.S when the screen writer writes a screenplay they retain the copyright of the original elements and we license those elements that make other films, so they had to get my permission to make the other films but they did not have the guarantee that I would write them. So they are using the characters from this film. Part of our interest in making these characters as a bunch of newcomers is if we got to make sequels and prequels we would give other new talent the chance to work. And that is what happened. The editor of the original film Brett Sullivan ended up being the director of Ginger Snaps 2. Two other emerging female screenwriters got a shot at writing a Ginger Snaps movie, as a result of using those characters. I could not do it at the time for two reasons. Firstly, I felt I had said all that I have to say on the subject. And secondly, at the time I put a lot of really cool projects on hold while we were shooting Ginger Snaps. While we were shooting Ginger we were shooting my first CBC movies in the “The City” TV series and immediately after that I went to Queer as Folk, which was a different kind of edge cutting for queer culture on television. I had these amazing opportunities that grew out of this movie and I did not want to spend the rest of my career or at least the next 10 years doing the same movie a bunch of different ways. I wanted to do these other cool things
Literally hasn't done anything relevant since.
>wasted career
I know creative types usually go on about how they dont want to be known for one thing, but dropping GS was an absolute mistake on Karen's part here. Fuck queers.
2 was really good though. Not at 1's level, but still. Spends a bit too much time at the hospital and they went under-budget too. Should have just splurged some more of it for another 10-15 minutes of early city scene kino with Beebster getting stalked by the werewolf.
yeah
Filming location of the Fitzgerald house, looks pretty comfy.
first for Ginger
so close
