One of my favorite things that I get to do on Collider is the extended interview outside of a press junket. The thing you need to know is the press junket is not necessarily a bad thing. You get a ton of reporters together in one place with the people that made a movie or TV show and you give everyone a little bit of time to ask some questions. While not ideal for any one reporter, it’s an easy way to promote the material. However, it’s not great when you want to go in-depth with someone about a wide variety of subjects. you’re able to’t drill down on any one thing because you only have so many minutes.
But a few days ago I sat down with directorMcGin his Hollywood office for a wide-ranging conversation that not only covered his new Netflix horror-comedy,The Babysitter, but his previous movies and TV shows likeTerminator: SalvationandCharlie’s Angels. In addition, we also talked about the state of the movie industry, how the TV landscape has changed, and a number of his future projects likeTrue Lies,I Feel PrettywithAmy Schumer. Finally, we also got into what happened with his take onMasters of the Universe, how he’s trying to get a movie made aboutShel SilversteinwithJames Franco, and if they still have any unreleasedTerminator: Salvationdeleted scenes.Trust me, this is as in depth an interview with McG as I’ve ever seen.
If you haven’t seen the trailer forThe Babysitter, I’dcheck that out beforewatching the interview. It’s a crazy ride that involves first broken hearts, first kisses, and first encounters with homicidal maniacs. The film was written byBrian Duffieldand starsBella Thorne,Samara Weaving,Robbie Amell,Hana Mae Lee,Andrew Bachelor, andJudah Lewis.
