Yeah I think Pitch Black was edgy, I think that's what worked for our film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
With the black and white films, one was concerned with tone.
If you had told me in the Seventies and Eighties that TV would be as edgy or edgier than most films, and more intelligently written than most films, I wouldn't have believed it. There's great stuff out there.
I've done a lot of films that all have been pretty edgy.
When I did 'Good Guys Wear Black,' I had a lot of dialogue in that movie.
I think a lot of black filmmakers have done very well.
Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.
I remember seeing 'Pitch Perfect' and loving it right away. It's hilarious!
To some extent at that time, we injected rock and roll into that scene- we played loud and that was a huge turning point for that scene. We were involved in playing with all those people.
I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you're right.
The tone of 'Pitch Perfect' is so specific, and from the studio's perspective, they wanted someone who could step right in and seamlessly understand the movie comedically and musically.
