Alex Scharfman, a director of A24 and film creators, ready to shine new unicorn legends with the latest launch of Arthouse in Unicorn's death– Jenna Ortega –Wednesday– And Paul Rudd (Avengers: Endgame) Playing a daughter and father who accidentally ran for a numerous way to meet the important way to do or destroy the family agreement with the abundant employer of the father. The strange sequence of events leading to the discovery that can change the world if it actually comes out of the kingdoms kingdom in a quiet forest.
Recently, IO9 sat down with the Scharfman to discuss the first of the movie. The decision to select the most fun actors today and why friction in the world today must be a great thing to be able to laugh.
Sabina Graves, IO9: So I am not a unicorn fan. But I think you finally make me a unicorn. Thank you for that
Alex Scharfman: That is what Jane is saying. Jane is not a unicorn. I mean, I am not a unicorn until I started researching movies. But yes, I think that people will get the depth that we don't know there for a while.
Io9: I understand They can be metal like hell. Let's start. Backstory that you do in this project, especially? Because it is a fierce driving
Scharfman: Just my child's thoughts come to me; The opening scene of my head somewhere and I really do not know where it came from, but sometimes that happens where you imagine the scene and you like. “Where did you just start pulling your favorite thread?” “And” What will happen if someone is hit by a unicorn with their car? “” “” What is the Unicorn? “
Io9: When you imagine that this happened to her daughter and father, you think “Yes, Paul River will be that father.”
Scharfman: At that time, not before the actors or characters – it was a situation. And I don't know what happened or where are they going? Or what is it? (It) just what is stuck in my heart. I took a couple of years to start exploring.
Io9: Of course, it makes me feel the short story of Kurt Vonnegut that uses a great component to tell the true friction.
Scharfman: Can I tell me that I am a big Kurt vonnegut Nerd? And actually he has a story about the father and son in the Middle Ages which are strange
Io9: Oh, the story of his unicorn hunting.
Scharfman: Unicorn tread–
Io9: Yes!
Scharfman: Yes, okay, you know the story.
Io9: You really think that while you write this?
Scharfman: That is the child of the occurrence that will be honest. I read and have a full vonnegut thesis. I read all the short stories that he had written. But that is not the person I think actively because the unicorn is not an important person in it. It's more about father and son.
Io9: Of course, in your heart, you are clear that you are a big fan of friction. Do you think there is a foundation to create such a film, especially during the true time every day in real life like friction?
Scharfman: It's funny when I start writing this. I started to conclude that it was like 2019. And I think the fall in 2019 knife Just came out and I liked “Oh, so cool” Clearly, we have a lot of friction recently in the class explanation. I think there is something that is attractive to me when I started researching the legend of the Unicorn and the unicorn legend, which I think at some point I know is a class of classes about the class and about social structures and class. But especially the curtains that we found in movies that are referenced through these things are about his Lord's mission and his minions to kill unicorn and bring it back to him so he can occupy it forever.
It is about nature and social hierarchy that allows one person to say “Go to do this for me and bring it back here so I can own something.” I think is a fundamental class and words. I think the story is a child of natural requests. In terms of the context of the year 2025, I think that when you make horror words The fun that can be done both horror and words (they) are a type that lives well with the parable of the viceroy and I think that there is a chance to arrange the metaphor.
However, I think there is something that is not intended about the movies that I think is because we are in a period that is not in time. And sometimes what we do now is that you know that we are in an age where the richest people in the world have offices in the White House. It's very like on the surface. Right now, I feel that things that have been more and have some levels or norms that are from children who are thrown out of the window. Felt that it was appropriate to do what was straightforward and hoped to drain and I thought about unicorns who had a severe restoration, which felt appropriate for the time we were alive.
Io9: Like a whale with a yacht! Amazing. No, it's a bad thing that this has just happened to that wavelength because I was dying from a boring technology (Poulter's) because I like that we wow like that kind of person all the time. But he reinforces that role
Scharfman: I don't agree more I was very lucky to be in the movie and sent the performance he did because I thought it was funny and it was a forest and north and big. But it is very fundamentory in the children of this human psychology that I think is bigger. “How can we come here?” What kind of personality do we have as a social development and promote life? Bro Tech Man-Man-Child Man-Child Casters Masters of the universe that they think they have all the answers through the level of power and just support.
Io9: He and everyone who surrounds Janena is the most fun. Therefore, the children of the wildlife that will see you and those who like Richard's cute person and Paul (Lai) with a straight face. Bit and Carrigan and Carcasm I didn't catch it in the first perspective until Jane Disassed!
Scharfman: That is one of the jokes I like. It really killed me This movie was inspired by the qualifications of many organisms from the 70s to 90s, but also the SATIRES class in terms of types such as Luis Buñuel's. Destroyed angel And (Robert Altman's) Goosford Park– These movies are real movies, which I like the band, the band that you have all these characters standing for the model for social structures or things that are bigger than myself. And because they are a lot of this band, they are slightly larger than life In this existing ecosystem (Of the movie) It gives people the opportunity to be slightly large at some time and leads to the drama and the fun of the camp.
It is fun to fill and Jane is the child of the audience. She is our eyes and ears. She is the one that we agree with the value. That is the child of the nature of the story (it) often (Jane Nina's character). Ridley is the center of this strange world and dealing with these crazy people with the Liao Poly family and their plans. Paul's characters really remember (they) are crazy, but he needs things from crazy people as if they were not and she didn't play the game.
Io9: Experience your inspiration for the characteristics of the organism of this. Of course, there are John Carpenter and Amblin Vibes. What is the mechanism of entering? I am very happy that you are not ashamed to hide them.
Scharfman: I think that in the characteristics of contemporary organisms, you must respond to the audience and especially with movies that intend to invent organisms. Causing them to be in the shadows, causing them to be in the fog to hide them for a while But at the end of the movie, they are in the daytime. Just walk down the stairs. You know and give the happiness you say. “We will clean this well.”
Io9: What do you have to do with those suspicious scenes?
Scharfman: It is a combination of what we have. Sometimes we have a horse in our outfit. We have a really beautiful body. I love the puppet They are very fun And whenever possible, we will use the puppet It is very important throughout the whole process that will have the most useful components. But for actors But for me, I just want to see those things as much as possible.
There are definitely vfx, but even though we have a VFX, we have our puppet heads with more VFX reference heads. We will have a puppet. We still walk through the shot so that the actors know where the organisms will be and know what the organisms will look in each position and how it will move around. There are some shots that are clearly just puppets in the movie. It is always exciting when you can think that it is part of the puzzle of the movie production process for this movie.
