David Lynch tried to give a cinnamon King’s cinema lesson, managing the maximum overcoming

Stephen King is one of his most respected tales – or any generation. The word is virtually not covered by the exit of a person, from his earliest works, such as “Lot Salem”, to later masterpieces such as “Renaissance”. Decades of King’s work have been inspired by dozens of films and TV shows of different quality. During all these years King has ruled only one of these movies in the form “Maximum Overcoming”, a truly cinema with a wild story behind it. At least one small part of the story includes no one else like David Lynch.

The king recently appeared as a guest on “Kingst” And discussed the movie. Released in the summer of 86, the movie was based on a short story “Trucks” from the Night Change Stories Collection. It is selected after the strange comet goes past the ground, causing trucks and other cars to come to life. They quickly start killing people. The main part of the story takes place at the Dixie Boy truck stop where Ragtag is trapped. The chaos comes.

“At the time, I was doing a lot of cocaine and I drank a lot,” King mused. This explains why King repeatedly apologized for the film shooting for years. The author further explained that Lynch simply removed his masterpiece “Blue Velvet” at the same time.

“I thought I knew how to make movies,” King said. “I learned so much to” overcome. “

The crew is as it turned out, mostly did not talk in -English, which made production at the “maximum exceeding” extremely difficult. “The only thing I learned is how to swear in Italian,” King dropped. This became a problem when King’s crew member, camera operator Daniel Nanuz, tried to explain why the shot he wanted to achieve. The language barrier interfered.

“I had a certain way I wanted to move the camera, and he said, ‘No, no, not Stephen! It crosses the line! “I couldn’t understand it,” King explained. “The way you shoot threesome is the freshman of the English language, and this line transition is similar to a seminar.”

What Nannuzzi tried to explain was what was called 180 degrees. I am not a director, but basically the rule says that by taking two people, you will remain on one side of 180 degrees, because if you cross this line, it will ruin the ability of the audience to know where the characters are in each other and the environment. People in the Riot movie made a great video explaining this, that you can look right here.

For experienced directors, this is the adopted rule. For King, the writer, it was a foreign concept. Sign in to late, great David Lynch who recently died at the age of 78. The king collided with the lynch after the shooting once and decided to launch it with this small issue. Lynch did his best to explain it to the king, but everything did not come out.

“I finished shooting on the day and I said, ‘Can I talk to you for a minute? “He put on a white shirt with a trademark, he had khaki’s pants, he smoked a cigarette, I smoked a cigarette, and I said,” What’s about the line? “He tried to explain how if you have a camera on one side, you You can shoot the other side, and if you have, you can shoot the characters around the moving table. ” Then he said, “I don’t know, just remove it.” He also did not know what it was. “

The film revealed how it turned out that there was a little twist. For years King was not good for his work on “maximum overcoming”But the film continued to find something devoted to the cult. Kingcast co-chairman Eric Vespe-one of such fans who caused the conversation in the first place. If nothing else, it is quite great to imagine these two legends in the 80s to hold such a cigarette discussion.
