Four Behind The Scenes Videos For Joe Dante’s The Hole 3D
I’m surprised that there’s not a lot of evident interest in the fact thatJoe Danteis making a new horror feature, but I’m chalking that up to the fact that it’s an indie that has only just begun to reach out with images and video clips. The film,The Hole 3D, was at Comic Con, where Dante did some interviews, and now there are four behind the scenes clips thanks toMovieSet. See those clips and learn where you can see the rare workprint of Dante’sGremlinsafter the break.
“I think you can say this is the lostTwilight Zoneepisode,” Dante toldShock Till You Dropat Comic Con.The Hole 3Dis about two kids who, with their mother, move to a new house in the basement of which is a mysterious hole in the basement. Turns out the passageway is key to something that manifests the boys' worst fears. Dante is using 3D to go deep into the frame (and, likely, the hole) rather than to push stuff out at the audience, as explained in these behind the scenes clips. You won’t get much of a glimpse of what the movie will look like, but hopefully we’ll see a teaser trailer sometime soon. (For more on the approach to making the film, read the great interview with Dante atAICN.)
And if you live in LA, you’re in luck because Joe Dante is presenting his second ‘Dante’s Inferno’ mini-festival at theNew Beverly Cinemaright now. Tomorrow (August 8) is an amazing day at the New Bev, because they’ve got a six-hour version ofTheMovie Orgy(Dante’s marathon and indescribable experiment in comedy in which pieces of movies and found footage are spliced together) followed by a screening of the ultra-rare workprint ofGremlins. That’s got seven minutes of new footage! And the New Bev has new seats! I wish I could be there.
