For tonight’s feature on the last late show we’ll take a look at the solo directorial debut of then fledgling director Kathryn Bigelow who’d gamble her career on a ‘three minutes to midnight’ Faustian bargain, that’d see her lay the groundwork for a film she’d written – but may not get to direct.
As Murphy’s Law would unleash a maelstrom of disasters that’d seem tailored made to undo all her efforts.
Instead, the film would go on to become a phenomenal cult classic and a cornerstone in the interpretation and re-imagining of the modern vampire.
Yep, we’ll cover it all – from snowstorms, floods, freezing weather to a producer that fell asleep behind the wheel nearly killing them both and even a fit of method acting MADNESS on a lonely stretch of Arizona road that would nearly cost the life of her vampire lead.
You’re not gonna want to miss this
And you’ll hear it here – only tonight and only on…The Last Late Show.
