Director Jaume Balagueró shows resounding not to continue the saga of terror [ REC ] . The fourth installment, entitled Apocalypse , will be his last foray into the world of those possessed by the terrible virus that was started in 2007 with the film he co-directed with his friend Paco Plaza and in which, surprisingly They achieved a much better impact than expected. The argument [REC] 4 We now take a boat at sea , and has the reporter Angela Vidal , again starring Manuela Velasco as the protagonist. It opened on 47 Sitges Film Festival and the premiere will be Friday October 31.
How did the idea of moving the action to another enclosed space, but this time on board a ship?
We knew we had to get out of that building Rambla Catalunya (Barcelona) because there was already overstretched. But while keeping the identity of the saga: oppression, the claustrophobia, the feeling of being unable to escape, to be isolated. A quarantine situation at sea looked perfect.
Has missed his partner Paco Term, codirector of the first [ REC ] , in this new adventure film?
I have always agreed with the partner we started. But Paco has also been present. We often visited and somehow was also involved in the film.
There are fans who collect movies, books, or photos and is very rewarding Was it difficult to shoot in tight spaces and narrow aisles as a boat in Gran Canaria, limiting the movement of the camera or the performers?
It’s a totally inappropriate place for a film . Narrow passages, very low ceilings, rust, dangerous … but we wanted to capture the real atmosphere of the place. We shot 80% on the boat and built the rest in order to have more space and make more complicated scenarios planes.
resorted to digital effects for the recreation of the ship environment, flat general. The sea, the sky ….?
Inevitably because we shot on a boat, but he did not sail. I had no permissions and was docked in the harbor. So everything had to be recreated landscapes are digitally.
And this time has decided to forgo storytelling subjective camera. Maybe it’s a well-worn formula or was to give more oxygen to the film, not as subject to put images only what another person, in fiction, is recording?
is a formula that the first movie had its meaning because it was a reporter (Angela Vidal) filming with his camera. The second part was also justified because it was a team of GEOS (Special Operations Group) recording. It is also true that the genre has changed in that time was more innovative and original. Now yes it is over exploited. This coupled with wanted to do a different, new proposal.
On more than one occasion has said that [ REC ] began as a very small production?
When it was started as an experiment, an experiment in terror. How we try to involve the audience as much as possible. We had no intention to follow, to make more sequels.
And after [ REC ] 4 or other proposals genre he has done, it’s over like doing, for example, a comedy or a different movie without many doses of tension or terror?
To do something different other. I’m actually working on a new project that is very different from what we done so far. But with so much time spent on the same thing, fancy a change.
Our history is closed, but the end is open if anyone wants to continue some A few days ago came the news that during the filming of the horror film ‘Annabelle’ had happened some paranormal phenomena. In ‘ [ REC ] 4′ or any of his other films have also lived sometime ‘poltergeist’ or disturbing?
No. If you say yes I would have probably done as inventing the Annabelle. is marketing, a bit dated and would also unconvincing, but good.
And how have noticed the admiration and support of the fans of the series over the years?
no special Anecdotes, but have found fans who collect movies, books, pictures … It is very rewarding and exciting.
Do not know if you’ve seen any of the remakes of [ REC ] who made Americans under the title of ‘Quarantine’?
No. I’ve seen some fragment, but whole no.
Will more deliveries [ REC ]
Maybe. But I will not address more. Our history is closed, but the end is open to new possibilities, if someday someone want to continue.
