what's going on guys I'm Austin off late drugs here with the man the legend himself Michael Payne his new film blood Mouse's fancy how you doing this afternoon sir doing great man doing great I'm like just wrapping up some press here in Miami can't complain so when you wrote the script for this now it being out a horror film what was the aspect of a script that let's just say okay this is the next project I don't want to do well first of all I I saw Jeff wadlow's movies and I thought his movie truth or dare and I was like wow this is really cool I kind of like what he did with it like it's kind of unexpected and the writing was was good for and and he really knew the genre and what's interesting about genre is that there's certain beats that just you would never do in a drama you would never do like even in a comedy or an action movie or anything like that but it works in this in this area so I was like okay cool I read the script and I thought wow this is really fun actually like I'd like to be a part of it and plus the fact that you know mr.

Warrick the you know the the character that I play it was it be challenging because I normally don't speak like that so eloquently and he was it seems like it was really well read and and then I come to find out that you know Ricardo Montalban was you know born in Mexico City but he was like theater trained and also Shakespeare so that's why he was the very debonair the things that you might not know of but there was a certain element to me certain elements why it worked back in the day and I wanted to you know him pay my respects to that guy anyway and I think you did a hell of a job doing so bad thank you I don't know if you saw the movie or not I didn't and you were doing a lot so speaking of jeff wadlow you have worked with a plethora of directors throughout the course of your career so how would you compare it Jeff to the others like for the sakes like David a or even paid and read for example well I mean just way different like Payton like oddly enough you just described like Payton Jeff and David Ayer are like Wikipedia's yeah they're they're all so quick in and their specific genres like you know air airs just like he really is like Wikipedia you know were you ask him about something and he's he'll tell you the whole backstory and you'll have a conceptual understanding of what he's talking about and it really helps especially in the in the rehearsal process and you know Payton obviously is in the comedy world where he's like so good at improv well you're like what about this idea and is it but ten other you know choices just based on this one idea you're like wow this is pretty amazing and jaffers is much the same because he knows the intricacies of these kind of poor moves and he'll also love to genre very much and so and they're both in all three are very smart so you pick three very like-minded individuals but in different genres now so obviously this film comes out tomorrow Valentine's Day and it's a horror film if you were to watch let's say pick three films three horror films to watch with your significant other watch through what you pick for other people to watch well I just for anyone yeah yeah probably finish the island crash and like all my movies honestly I can't disagree against that thank you so much you're a tight-assed being used to see guys go to see blood muscles fans now when it comes out tomorrow you [Music]
