Don Coscarelli sheds some light on Phantasm 5

[mrblue]

In an interview with Bloody-disugusting Don Coscarelli talked a little about Phantasm 5- "Listen, we’re all getting older but the desire is there", he told me. "We’ve been cooking up a couple ideas, and I like to think that as soon as ['John Dies at the End' is] wrapped up we’ll try to get something going. Cause you know, over the years I’ve written a number of different iterations of ‘Phantasm’, and I’d just hate not to ever realize any of that. But it’s funny how this many years later people still care about it. That’s mind-boggling…I guess that’s the beauty and the curse of never actually giving any answers in four movies! [Laughs] [People] want to know what the hell happens. But yeah, I’d love to. I’m still really close friends with all of the actors from it. They’re great people, you know…we just love hanging out and working together. But I’ve gotta get going cause time is short." Coscarelli on 3D- "Well yeah, I mean, spheres in 3-D would be really exciting", he told me. "You know, I’m interested in it. Honestly, I have a hard time sitting through a whole feature with the glasses personally. I read about technologies that eliminate the glasses. I think when that happens, then it’ll be a lot more viable. A lot of people rave about some of the different processes. I think some of it’s the emperor’s new clothes. I watch them, it’s still a little gimmicky to me. So for the right movie…the thing is, I think that 3-D movies should be just all-out, comin’ at ya. Those were the ones that I grew up on…but it’s like nowadays, everyone’s getting really 'artistic' about it. And how can you get artistic with a gimmick? I don’t know, I haven’t really explored it too much myself. I haven’t spent much time with the camera. It definitely would be fun to try it."

I don't know if I would see it in 3D, though.
