D&C's BRAD DOURIF




Proprietor of Stan's Funeral Home and Crematorium, Stan doesn't care so much about running his business, but when he meets Jarod, a special bond develops and we see a warmer side of Stan.

Brad first gained wide acclaim for his role as Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in 1976, earning him a Golden Globe Award for Best Acting Debut, a British Academy Film Award for Best Supporting Actor, and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Brad is known today for the role Grima Wormtongue in The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers and is the voice Chucky the killer doll in the Child's Play film series. Brad also co-starred with Gene Hackmen in 1988's Mississippi Burning and was a series regular on Deadwood.

A few quotes from Brad (though maybe not heard on the set):
I am good when there is something central about the character. There is always a human theme I attach myself to. I am really looking for something that is moving or enlightening or something with depth as an actor. I look for these kinds of roles.

There is nothing wrong with horror films. Their existence has definitely had an impact on me. It is important to have scary demons in our world on film. We have them in the world. That is why we are afraid, it is nice to have a visual and to have a confrontation with it.

Cinematographer - Akis Konstantakopoulos & RED ONE


The RED ONE was used to shoot D&C. You can learn more about the camera at http://www.red.com/cameras/

Shown is one of the two RED's D&C had for filming. Akis shot for the A unit and Simon Baechler was the B unit cinematographer.
If you are wondering what is so revolutionary about RED, there's a fairly simple reason for that: this is the first digital video camera that has a resolution comparable to 35 mm film, with great color range. At its core, the camera uses a Mysterium CMOS sensor: The physical resolution of this monster is 4900 x 2580 pixels, for a total of 12.64 million pixels.

Martha's & Jarod's Trailer, about to shoot week 1

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well here's a bunch of pictures squeezed really really close together and looked at really really fast, with sound too, kinda like a movie.

Everyone's in a little trailer in Montebello, it's the 2nd week of July, 1st week of shooting, it's very hot, the lights are on and no air conditioning. Jeremy Sumpter, Jarod, and Debbon Ayer, his mom, Martha, are going over their paces.

No Rest For The Weary


Wednesday, July 15, in Winnetka, the day after Malibu. Justin is wrapping up location for David's house, taking a moment out of his grueling schedule to perform yet another directorial duty, a photo op. On his left, Daniel Aldema, Exec Producer and actor, who hosted this day of shooting at his home. And on the right, Exec Producer Ken Hedrick. That night, everyone headed to a commercial alleyway a few minutes down the road to lens the next scene, Lindsey at Hot Dog on a Stick. More on that, but much later.
