Hal Masonberg Interview - Director of "The Plague" « Thread Started on Dec 20, 2009, 4:19am »
This is a shoutout to a good friend of mine, Michael L. King aka Phantassm, who was able to talk with and interview a guy named Hal Masonberg, director of "The Plague".
Now for those who don't remember, "The Plague" was a flick that was produced by Clive Barker and starred James Van Der Beek. Doesn't sound promising, right?
Well, I'll let my friends words on his video discuss it:
"This is the official introduction video to the upcoming multi-part interview with the director of the film "Clive Barker's The Plague," and let it be known that while Masonberg directed the film, his edit of the movie was rejected by studio suits and he was literally ejected from the production. Studio executives ordered a new edit of the movie immediately. This new edit was put together by Clive Barker's people and totally in disregard to what Masonberg wanted. In this series of videos, Masonberg opens up and reveals his personal feelings about the making of the movie, the loss of control of the film and the hopeful future he has for a Director's & Writer's Cut of the movie truly revealing his intended cut of the much maligned movie. It is my goal to help him as much as possible to make this dream a reality. Visit Masonberg's official sites and show your support please and remember even if you have no plans to buy his film if indeed it becomes a director's cut, (and I believe it will eventually.) you can still offer your support because its the right thing to do. please visit: http://www.Spreadingtheplague.com & http://www.facebook.com/pages/THE-PLAGUE....98492638?ref=ts Thank you all. "
So apparently, Clive Barker screwed with a guy who actually had a vision or...at the very least, a better movie. So my good friend got in touch with him and the guy actually gave him an interview...interesting stuff.
I would actually urge people to take a look at my friend's review...just because it really discusses what happened aka 'what's going on'...
Part 1
Part 2
That's only see you get an idea on what's going on. Now...here's where my friend Phantassm aka Michael King intros about the interview, and also about how nice the director seemed to be.
Here's Part 1 of the interview:
Part 2
If you would like to see the other parts, it's at my friend's channel.
