![]() ![]() Were you a big fan of Stephen King at the time? And King had director approval on this, and they send him the movies of the various directors who were up for the job, and he was quite surprised that a movie with IV in the title, especially a third sequel to an iconic classic movie, was actually good. What I didn’t know and was not prepared for, was that they had already moved me into the production office. The studio wasn’t too crazy about what he was doing, so they asked me to have another meeting. He started rewriting the script and taking it somewhere very far removed from what King had written, including adding a planet of Sleepwalkers. So they met the other director and they hired him. They said: We love you for this, we just have to meet with another director as a formality, because of our relationship with his agent. ![]() I had done PSYCHO IV a few years earlier and I was writing and doing a lot of things and they arranged a meeting for me at the studio, Columbia Pictures, where it was made. ![]() We were both represented by the same agency in Los Angeles, who also represented Clive Barker at the time. ![]() Could you tell me how you got the job of directing SLEEPWALKERS in 1992? ![]()
