“Heart Eyes” is a great mixture of movies, mixing ROM Boom with Slasher, with a little wide laugh. Olivia Holt and Masson Juding star as work co -workers are wrong for lovers by a serial killer who only strikes on Valentine’s Day. The film is managed by director Josh Robin, who cut his teeth while making short content in Koligor, before directing two films of independent comedy with the bases of emotional fans: “Scare Me” for 2020 and “Werewolves Insh” for 2020. Robin spoke with diverse About the balance between the correct tone between horror and comedy, the secrets to develop a great ROM ROM and what the ideas of “eyes of the heart” can look like.
This is the largest movie I was directed by sites, dozens of additions, etc. Have you felt like a completely different animal, or does it contain a lot of DNA with your independent films?
It is always the same, just with more people and more games. He – she Be able to They are not practical in its weight: the more people, the more the ship, the more difficult. Because I started in the internet video, the short model, did commercials and do this for a long time, I felt the same. I am grateful because they gave me a long rope. I had a lot of freedom. No one asked me to shoot at a certain angle. The coverage was launched. I may have made more options more than you needed, but I really should do something, which is incredible. “It is not always like this, so I enjoy,” said Greg Gelryth, who was half the gap/oppressive,.
What are the tricks that you used to make ROM-Kuminous scenes originally, before suddenly switching to the cutting lands?
You must have two members of the team who have legal chemistry, Tom Hanks and Mig Ryan similar. I did not know that Mason and Olivia would get a kind of chemistry they did. We have been lucky with chemistry, which is important in Gigi Zombado and Olivia. These friends should have love for each other as well, you have to feel that despite the humor of all of this. So you start with the actors. Make sure they are always playing terrorism in real and are never caught in an attempt to laugh. This is the North Star base, and in this way the thing does not fall. You really care about these people because they are real people, all the things that were taken into account, despite the exceptional things.
Then your degrees and your production design. You just speak to your team, say, “Look, there was a blue moonlight in” Jaws “and” Out Out “. There is also a blue moonlight in” Sleepless in Seattle “.” There was the same color from Blue Moonight on “Friday The sixth part of the sixth Jason Lives, which is a great reference in North Star horror for this movie. So, you have a color palette where you can allow the means of picking a night, which mostly occurs at night, and we also reflect on all the aesthetics of the wonderful Valentine’s Day movie, from the pink and red shapes. And “Big”, with all the large pink back windows in the restaurant scene.
How did you know how much you can pay the humor without distracting you from the moments of your other type?
As long as your pioneering personality in This, emotionally, you can only do anything. For this reason, “The Walking Dead” continued as long as it did as a TV series. You care about these characters, and the zombies are ice on the cake. In all of these rums, such as “Sleeples in Seattle”, for example, it was tragic as sweet as it is as funny as funny. However, there is a hysterical comedy that flourishes in the nose of Bill Polman, and Tom Hanks’s friend, whose history dates back to a short time with this hateful absence. Even at the “Best Friends wedding”, as the comedy happens, if you are with Julia Roberts, you are fine. This is how everything has succeeded.
During the budget of romance and terror, did you find similarities between the two types that you may not have seen before?
I did not think about it. I did not do that. I assume, in the past, you have to treat them completely differently. In fact, you need calm in moments of giving, and the more our calmness and threat to consent, the more prepared for the horror leap. I assume that there are some similarities, but I felt it completely differently. It was all about treating delicate things with real tenderness and tackling horror. This entire film is one of the big moments in which you know that there are two people about to kiss, but it was constantly sabotaged by Wes Craven Magicte via the center.
Regarding the ghost in this film: How did you find the line in which people came out without luxury a lot?
Perhaps angles, shots and context. I had a great editor in Brett Wakhman. There is a sequence in this movie that can be said to be the most amazing, and there are another five minutes of this sequence. I could have been going to go back and forth, and showed more blood -blooded shots and more blood on the floor. I loved – almost to the dark comedy level – to stay in it, but at some point, it was very painful for people and I do not want to take out anyone. But in the end, I appreciate that people are enthusiastic about a movie that does not pull punches, and can be reached a little more. I do not recommend to show this to a 12-year-old child who loves terror, but there will be 12-year-old children who see it-where I was seven-year-old who saw “Jason lives”. They will recover from this as you did for sure. It may leave them with some crazy pictures in their brain, but come on, grow up. But it will be like “Monster Squad” for me: a movie you can watch over and over again. These are the types of films that I want to make. I can’t see much torture porn, so I always calibrate my scale scale for these things.
Can you see yourself directing the “eyes of the heart”?
I will put it in this way: you can repeat the structure of the ROM ROM com, from “Friday Girl” to “Defending your life”, and you can drop the eyes of the heart in the midst of that story, make it flash and cut off. This is what this raises: There is an opportunity that we can have any of the director-definitely, interested-I really try to create or repeat that ROM-Com sense From “Bridget Jones”, “Love in reality” or what you have, but in reality these people are terrified of this psychological killer. This is really exciting, because what it means is that he has a possibility for a long life. Then the trick becomes: How can we balance all the new games and wilds with a story about two people who fall in love, or even outside, which you actually care about emotionally? This is the true success of this movie. If the matter falls with anyone, this falls because these two have chemistry, and the entire group is truly. This will be the trick. If you don’t have that, I think you are dead in water.
Are there any other types of daydreaming about a serial killer to shake things?
I would like to lead music at some point. I don’t know if anyone outside the “Sweeeney Todd” has done something with Wes Craven, but it may be interesting without being operation. I don’t know if this is completely appropriate, but there is a fantastic itch I want to scratch. It is not necessarily horror, but playing in a world was the imagination that I grew up, which endangered children, and that was romantic, and that was scary, and that was brutally and that was also fun. I would like to make something to be transferred. So who knows? I do not know about the oblique side, but I am enthusiastic about any diagonal film that is chased by characters that we present.
