Kelly McNeely: Ndikumvetsa kuti nkhani ya Bwerani kwa Adadi zinali zodalira zomwe mudakumana nazo. Kodi mungalankhule pang'ono za izi komanso momwe mtunduwo unasinthira kukhala owonerera koma nkhani yochokera pansi pamtima yomwe ili?

Nyerere Timpson: Ndikulingalira kuti ndinali ngati wopanga makanema mu stasis, chifukwa ndidayamba ngati wopanga makanema wambiri, ndimakonda kupita kukapanga mafilimu openga kumapeto kwa sabata iliyonse. Ndipo zidalowa m'malo ena ambiri amakanema kwa nthawi yayitali, ndipo zidatenga kupita kwa abambo anga kuti andigwedeze kuchokera ku cocoko komwe ndimakhala ndikukwaniritsa maloto a anthu ena. 

Ndinazindikira mwadzidzidzi kuti moyo ndi waufupi bwanji, ndipo mumangopeza mwayi umodzi pazinthu izi, inali njira yayikulu kwambiri yodzuka, yolimbana ndi kumwalira kwake, komanso ndi kufa kwanga komanso dziko lenileni. Kotero izo zinali ngati mtundu wa chirichonse, ndipo iyo inali njira yachilendo kwenikweni kwa achisoni, kumene mtembo woumitsidwa unabwereranso ndi kukacheza mu chipinda chochezera cha nyumba yake, ndipo ine ndinali ndi udindo woyang'anira nyumba usiku. Chifukwa chake ndimakhala usiku wambiri - mausiku asanu - ndi iye yekha m'nyumba. 

Ndawona munthawi zina kuti umayenera kukalankhula ndi abambo ako atangodutsa ndikuchotsa zinthu zonsezi pachifuwa chako, bizinesi yonse yosamalizika iyi. Ndipo zomwe ndidachita ndikungodzidzimutsa ndekha, ndipo ndidazindikira kuti ndikadangowafunsa zinthu zonsezi. Ndipo kotero zidakhala ngati kupyola mu njira yachisoniyo, komanso kukumananso ndi anthu ochokera zakale za abambo anga, ndikuzindikira kuti pali nkhani zambiri zokhudza abambo anga zomwe sindimadziwa kwenikweni. Zinali nkhani zabwino - zosangalatsa - ndipo anali ndi moyo wolusa, wolemera, koma panali madera omwe sanalankhulepo. 

Ndipo pambuyo pake pomwe ndimaganiza zopanga kanema ngati msonkho kwa iye, komanso kuti anditulutse mu cocoon, ndidazigwiritsa ntchito ngati njira yopitira. Bwanji ngati zakale za abambo ako zinali zamdima ndipo zimakusaka. Zinali ngati poyambira. 

Ndinapita kwa wolemba, Toby Harvard, yemwe ndimagwira naye ntchito Woyipa Wamakedzana kale, ndipo ndinali ndi nthawi yopambana chotero. Ndipo, eya, tinakhala ngati titachoka kumeneko. Poyambirira ikanakhala kanema wapamwamba kwambiri, chifukwa ndinali ngati, ine ndi kupanga china, ndipo tonse tinali ngati, zokhumba zanu ndizokwera kwambiri, ndikungodziwa kuti zimatenga nthawi yayitali bwanji kuti mafilimu azitha. Chifukwa chake ndimakhala ngati, o, awa akhala anga Wobadwa [akuseka], ikhala yopanda tanthauzo, ma millimeter 16 osinthira katundu, ndizijambulanso pakhomalo kasanu ndi katatu, idzakhala kanema wanga wankhani. 

Ndipo zolemba zomwe Toby adamaliza kuzilemba - atangobwerera mobwerezabwereza - zinali zabwino kwambiri, koma zochulukirapo, komanso ngati, wow, iyi ndi njira yoyipa kwambiri kuposa momwe ndimaganizira. Komanso ndi script yabwino kwambiri yomwe ndingakonde kuwonetsa anthu ena. Ndipo ndipamene zidatulukira kwa Eliya [Wood], ndipo mwamwayi adazikonda, ndipo dongosolo lonselo lidali lofulumira.

Kelly McNeely: A Elijah Wood adakhala ngati ngwazi yamafilimu amtundu wanyimbo, zomwe ndizodabwitsa. Kodi mudagwira naye ntchito kuti mukhale ndi Norval? Kodi mtundu wa Norval unakhalako bwanji?

Nyerere Timpson: Norval anali atamulembera bwino kwambiri. Zachidziwikire kuti Eliya amatenga chilichonse chomwe akuchita pantchito iliyonse yomwe akuchita, koma mawonekedwe a Norval anali ofanana kwambiri. Ndili ndi Toby kuti alembe ngati mbiri kwa aliyense amene akutenga nawo gawo mufilimuyi, chifukwa chake tinali ndi mbiri yakale, yokwanira prequel yonse - osati kuti izi zingachitike - koma zokwanira zolemera. Chifukwa chake ngati m'modzi mwa ochita sewerowo akufuna kulowa m'maganizo pang'ono, amatha kudziwa zambiri zokhudza mayiyu. 

Koma mukudziwa, chinthu chachikulu cha Eliya chomwe adabweretsa chinali mkhalidwe womvera chisoni komanso umunthu pang'ono, womwe - kwa chikhalidwe chomwe chikadakhala choseketsa pang'ono - chifukwa ali ngati mlendo akugwera motere zakutchire, malo owoneka bwino, ndipo samangofuna kupita kukakhala nsomba wamba pamadzi. 

Tinkamufuna kuti azikhala wocheperako pang'ono, komanso wofotokozedwanso, komanso zosowa zomwe amafuna kuti abambo ake azimvetsetsa pankhaniyi. Ndipo ndikuganiza kuti aliyense ali ndi nkhanizi, mukudziwa, zovuta za makolo. Pali kulakalaka uku kwa zinthu zogwirira ntchito ndikupeza mayankho pamafunso, chifukwa chake mfundo yonse sinali yosokoneza izi - osati kuziona mopepuka. Chifukwa timadziwa kuti iyenera kulipidwa, mawonekedwe amomwemo amayenera kutithandizira kuti tithe kugwira ntchito, chifukwa ndimafayilo apamwamba kwambiri mufilimu yonse molingana. 

Kelly McNeely: ndipo Bwerani kwa Adadi ali ndi mawu ozizira osunthira kwa iyo. Zimadumphadumpha kangapo komanso ma 180s palokha, zomwe ndimakonda kwambiri. Kodi zinali zotani zomwe mudakopeka ndikulimbikitsidwa pakusintha kwamalankhulidwe komanso zokongoletsa komanso kanema wokha?

Nyerere Timpson:  Makamaka, monga wopanga makanema, monga womvera, sindimakonda zinthu zomwe zikuyembekezeredwa. Ngakhale zinthu zikhale zaluso bwanji, ngati zili zoyenda pansi, ngati nkhani siyosangalatsa, nditha kuyithokoza, koma sindimakhala ndi chisangalalo chotere. Ndipo nthawi zonse ndimafuna kuti filimuyi patsogolo ikhale yosangalatsa. 

Chifukwa chake tidaganizira mozama momwe tingapangire kuti zinthu zisinthe? Kodi tingachotse bwanji ma 180 amenewo popanda kuwononga chilichonse posintha ndi kusintha kwakukulu kwambiri. Ndizovuta kudziwa kuti achita bwino kufikira mutachiwona ndi omvera, ngati chimapindulitsa. 

Koma potengera kudzoza, ndine cinephile woyang'anira. Chifukwa chake pali mamiliyoni ambiri a makanema omwe tsopano akuphatikizana ndi DNA yanga ndipo sindingathe kuthawa. Amangotuluka pazomwe ndikuganiza kuti ndimalingaliro am'matumbo, koma mwachidziwikire ndi mtundu wina wonga, kukumbukira kwakukulu. Tidali ndi template, ndidapanga mtundu wamakanema amitundu yonse ndikuwonera zomwe ndimafuna zomwe zimafotokozera zamiseche zamdima zomwe sizimakhala bwino. 

Chilombo chachiwerewere inali kanema yomwe timangobwereranso komwe mumalankhula bwino, zosangalatsa, zokambirana zokongola, komanso mkhalidwe weniweni wosokoneza uwu, monga, momwe ungathere. Chifukwa chake mumamva ngati mukufuna kubweretsa aliyense pamutu wamunthu wamkulu pomwe akumva kuti ndi malo otetezeka pang'ono, kenako akusokonezeka kwambiri, ndipo mumakhala ngati mukufunsa funso kuti zifika pati. Kotero kuti unease ndichinthu chomwe ndimachikonda. Ndizosangalatsa kuyesera kuganizira za malingaliro a omvera, momwe angawerenge zinthu.

Kelly McNeely: Ndinalowa wosawona momwe ndingathere, ndiyo njira yomwe ndimakonda kuwonera makanema, ndipo ndine wokondwa kuti ndatero chifukwa ndizosangalatsa momwe zimayendera. Zimakusungani inu kumapazi anu.

Mwapanga tani yamafilimu amtundu wabwino ngati Mwana wa Turbo, Deathgasm, ndi Kutseka nyumba… Zomwe - monga wopanga - zimakusangalatsani mukawona zolemba? Nchiyani chimakusangalatsani ndi kanema?

Nyerere Timpson:  Pamapeto pake ndikawerenga zolemba ndimaziyang'ana koyamba makamaka monga omvera. Zomwe zimamveka kutuluka magazi koma ndizovuta kuzimitsa makina onse oganiza omwe nthawi zambiri amayamba mukangoyamba kuwerenga script. Chifukwa chake kutayika muzolemba ndichinthu chosowa. Zopanga nthawi zina zimaposa owerenga ongokhala ndipo mumayamba kuwerenga magalasi ena onse. Zimakhala zochepa kwambiri.  

Mwamwayi nthawi zambiri pamakhala mphindi imodzi m'malemba yomwe imamveka bwino kwambiri ndipo mutha kulingalira momwe ingapangidwire, ndi zina zambiri, momwe izisangalalira omvera. Ndine wokonda mtima kwambiri. Ndikufuna kuti zonse zomwe ndimachita ziyamikiridwe ndikulandiridwa ndi omvera. Ndipo ndikukhulupirira kuti siomvera aliyense!

Kelly McNeely: Mudanenanso kuti ndinu wokonda mitundu yambiri. Nchiyani chimakukokerani ku mtunduwo? Ndipo munapeza bwanji malingaliro amtundu wankhanza mufilimuyi, amakutayani. Ndizosiyana kwathunthu komanso zatsopano, ndi zochuluka motani zomwe zidachitidwa?

Nyerere Timpson:  Zinali zokongola kwambiri. Tidakambirana za zachiwawa, ine ndi Toby, ndipo ndinalibe malamulo okhwima a mfuti, sindikufuna kukhala ndi mfuti mumtundu uliwonse wamakanema. 

Ndimawawona ngati otopetsa ngati gehena, ndikuganiza pali njira zina zatsopano zogwiritsa ntchito zachiwawa zomwe zitha kukhala zowoneka bwino ndipo mwanjira ina zimamveka bwino kwa omvera. Ndipo tiribe mfuti ku New Zealand - chabwino tili nazo, koma tilibe mfuti zam'manja, aliyense - kotero sitikusowa. Kwa ine zimangomva ngati zopeka zasayansi. Ndipo mbali inayo ya izo ndi yowopsya kwambiri kuganizira, ndi chilichonse chomwe chikuchitika. Chifukwa chake ndimakhala ngati ndikufuna kunena kuti tisatenge nawo gawo konse. 

Mofananamo ndi mafoni am'manja, tidayesetsa kwambiri kuwachotsa mwachangu mufilimuyi, chifukwa ndimawapeza ngati kuwonongeka kwa makanema amakono ndi mitundu yamafilimu omwe akupangidwa. Chifukwa chake tidakhala nthawi yayitali tikupeza njira zosangalatsa zopwetekera ndikuyika Norval kudzera pa ringer. 

Pankhani yakukhala otengeka kwambiri, palibe nthawi yofotokozera. Mwana aliyense amafuna chikwama cha monster m'ma 70s, ndipamene ndidakula. Ndinakulira nditazunguliridwa ndi makanema a Hammer Horror, chifukwa New Zealand ndi dziko wamba, chifukwa chake tinali ndi zinthu zambiri zochokera ku UK; zambiri zodabwitsa za BBC, ITV, zoyipa zoyambirira zomwe zidawonetsedwa, ndipo zimandiwopsa ndili mwana. Izi ndizokumbukira kwa moyo wanga wonse zomwe ndidaziyikira muma synapses anga. 

Chovuta chachikulu kuchokera pamenepo ndikuti kusilira ndichinthu chomwe muli nacho, koma simuyenera kubwerera ndikubwezeretsanso. Ndinalakwitsa kubwerera ndikubwezeretsanso makanema kuchokera paubwana wanga, ndipo pamapeto pake ndidawononga zikumbukiro zabwino zomwe mudali nazo, chifukwa chake sungani zinthu zokhoma pachifuwa.

Kelly McNeely: Kodi mumakhala ndi lingaliro la maso amphesa? Kodi mumakhulupirira chiphunzitsochi choti mutha kudziwa zambiri za munthu ngati ali ndi maso amphesa? 

Nyerere Timpson: Ndine munthu wamaso ngati a Robert Shaw wamtundu wanji. Maso ozizira, akufa shark, ndiye chidziwitso changa chachikulu kuti pali wina yemwe ndiyenera kukhala kutali naye. Chifukwa chake mwina sindine wokhulupirira malingaliro amphesa. 

Kelly McNeely: Ndimakonda yanu, zimachita mantha kwambiri mukawona maso a nsombazi!
