Richard Stanley gave a short interview to a local Austin newspaper. One of those annoying local newspapers in the USA which spams the world with its headlines and links… and then brutally blocks all visitors from outside America, displaying a message that make the said visitors feel like a criminal hacker.
But anyway… there’s a free VPN in my Opera browser, so here for all the world to read are some of the article’s Lovecraft and Howard-relevant quotes from Stanley.
His successful new Colour Out of Space movie is “designed for late nights where most of the audience would have to be slightly drunk or on some kind of substance or another.”
“He was my mother’s favorite author,” Stanley says. “She read me Lovecraft when I was a child. … I would have read ‘Color’ myself by the time I was 12.”
“Before I die, I would very much love to do a proper, fully blown sword-and-sorcery movie. I’ve mostly made science fiction, but I’m a big fantasy guy. There’s plenty of unfinished business out there.”
