Interview with Juliet Landau on A Place Among the Dead

Hi, this is Juliette Landau and you are listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. I need you to

be a mess. We need you to be a mess. You have

to be weak. Be weak, be in a fog. I'm making

a vampire documentary. Crime section, this may

be rough. The only thing I know for sure is that

he is a detailed and meticulous psychopath. You

have this way of taking things to the edge. It's

important not to get too close to the flame.

Leave him alone. I mean you're like a dog with

a bone with this thing. Just cut and I'll talk

to you. He's baiting you. Leading you into his

world. Code four says we're GOA. Hello and welcome

to Geekcast Radio Presents. This is an interview

series that we here at Geekcast Radio Network

are doing over various shows that we produce.

It'll also be syndicated on Altered Geek and

Studio 2009, two of our shows that we produce.

I am your host for this evening, TFU and Mike.

Coming to the studios tonight is Juliette Landau.

Miss Landau is an actress, director, producer

and writer. As an actress, highlights include

her role as Drusilla on Joss Whedon's Buffy the

Vampire Slayer and The Spinoff Angel. Co -starring

in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. as Loretta King. She

played the recurring role of Rita Tedesco on

Amazon's number one series, Bosch, in 2014. She

played that in season five of that show. She

is recurring as Cordelia. Hey, wait a second.

Yep, different show, different character. On

TNT's Claws, Juliette just helmed her visionary

feature film directorial debut, A Place Among

the Dead. Which I have just recently seen and

wow we welcome miss Juliet land out to the show.

How are you doing? Hi, I'm really happy to be

here. How are you doing today? I am doing wonderfully

and I have seen your directorial debut a place

among the dead and It's very interesting and

I will get to that I have several questions down

the line here, but first Did you always want

to be an actress? Did you always want to be in

acting? You know, I was a ballerina to begin

with. So I have a dance background. Then I started

taking acting classes and really loved the verbal

communication, getting to use physicality as

one aspect of a character, but also getting to

use dialogue and have a So, you know, discussions

about conceptual ideas and all of that stuff,

and so then I got bitten by the acting bug. Awesome,

yeah. Okay, you've played numerous amounts of

characters on your career. Looking at your filmography,

it's like you've played all kinds of characters.

Like, I know I've played up the whole Drusilla

thing, because that's mainly where I know you

from, and I... Like I said to you off air I'm

like my buddy Steve told me and I was like do

you not know who that is and he's like I'm like

dude. That's yeah, we need that interview because

wow, it's be such a pleasure to talk to her Yay

What are some of your favorites out of your characters

that you've played over your career? Gosh, well

I would say right now Jules, which is the character

that I play in my directorial feature debut,

A Place Among the Dead, and it's right now in

its first window of distribution. Also Loretta

King from Ed Wood, Drusilla of course, on Buffy

and on Angel. And then I think I'd have to mention

a couple theater roles. I loved playing Roberta

in Danny in the Deep Blue Sea, which is a beautiful

John Patrick Shanley play, and Blanche in A Streetcar

Named Desire, which is one of the best roles

ever written. Which characters are the most challenging

for you? Huh. You know, every character has its

challenges. but that's really what's fun about

what I get to do. Each role is sort of its own

puzzle, its own recipe of ingredients, and so,

I don't know, there's always a moment with a

character where it sort of all starts to coalesce

and come together. I think, you know, you mentioned

Rita Tedesco on Bosch, and it wasn't a challenging

character, but one of the things that was interesting

is that I think when I started, it was, hard

for me to not be at arm's length and sort of

have some preconceived judgments about the character.

She was a character who was married to a man

on death row. But as I started to do research

about the real women that are involved with these

men, and it's quite a phenomenon, there's actually

a... Believe it or not, there's dating sites

for men on death row. There's all kinds of things

that I didn't know about prior to getting this

part. But what was sort of interesting is finding

that at the end of the day, it was almost like

a long -distance relationship, a traditional

long -distance relationship, except that instead

of it being across, you know, countries or states

or locations in that way, it was inside of prison

and outside of prison. And I started to realize

how most of us could relate to having had at

least one relationship where we sort of fell

in love or like with the idea of who the person

was rather than the reality of who they truly

were or are. And so it was interesting to start

to crawl into that skin and sort of see the elements

of it that are very human and that we all can

relate to. Yeah, it's always kind of crazy when

you you have a picture of somebody in your head

and then you when you see the reality It's like

they're nothing like that. Mm -hmm. Absolutely

Absolutely. It was funny because I actually for

Rita one of the things I asked was um, we had

the second -in -command of South Central Homicide

for 25 years consulted on on my film a place

among the dead and so when I was doing I knew

Sal from before, and so when I was doing Bosch,

I called him and said, well, what do you think

about, you know, you've come into contact with

a lot of these wives and girlfriends and stuff.

And he said, Juliet, you know, I hang out with

these, I put them behind bars. I don't really

hang out with them once they're there. So it

made me laugh. I was like, okay, I just thought

you might have a take that would be interesting.

He said, look, I can consult on the police side

of it, but I can't really talk. to you about

that side too much yeah yeah okay so I kind of

think I know what the answer is gonna be to this

one because it's kind of a well all of them are

because it's just how could they not be but I

know some sometimes some are not so which characters

were the most fulfilling for you to play oh gosh

well I mean, all of the ones I previously mentioned,

I would have to say, were incredibly fulfilling.

But there is nothing like the theater and doing

the run of a play. So I would have to say Roberta

and Danny and the Deep Blue Sea because it was,

you know, we were originally going to do a six

-week run and we ended up doing a six -month

run in Los Angeles, which is not a theater town

because Yeah, so it was incredible because of

the the rave reviews and audience response and

Repeat business and all of that stuff. We ran

for six months straight every night We were more

than sold out like way past capacity had to add

seats so that was a tremendous experience and

and also Blanche in a streetcar named desire

just because it's so profound in the way that

all of the dynamics of the character. So I would

have to mention a couple of the theater roles

just because you get to live with them over such

a period of time and they get to grow. Much like

when you're doing either a series, regular or

recurring role, you get that experience. Obviously

I got an experience to live for a long time with

Drusilla and that was really, really something

too. Yep, absolutely. I mentioned Drusillus.

This is the only question I'll ask about her.

What was your favorite part about playing that

role? Because it seems to me, just as a viewer

of that series and of those two series and that

character, it seems like you had a lot of fun

doing that. I did. She was a delicious character.

And I think what I responded to most was, first

of all, the writing. Joss is a brilliant and

visionary writer and creator. You know, the character

of Drew was multi -dimensional. Many times you

get villains in their one or two dimensions,

and she really had so many different sides to

her. She had this epic love affair, as well as

being a diabolical character. She was very childlike,

but sensual. She was, you know... clearly not

the most stable mentally of all people, or all

vampires included. So I think it was the fact

that there was so many colors to her, and that

makes it really fun for an actor. Yeah, absolutely.

Before we get to A Place Among the Dead, again,

when Steve told me Juliet Landau, I'm like, hey.

That's Tala from Justice. I'm like, oh goody,

yay. What is it that you enjoy about the voice

acting side of acting the most? Well, I love

Tala. Tala is definitely one of my favorite voice

acting roles and also there was a character named

LaBella that I did in the Green Lantern movie.

The thing that I enjoy the most I would say is

that it really even further expands your range.

For the character of La Bella, I would never

have been cast. in real life in terms of physically

for the character. So you get to play roles that

you wouldn't necessarily be able to because of

the limitations of your age or your type or all

of those things that you can transcend with when

it's just your voice and you can play with modulating

it and you can play with accents and you can

play with you know all that kind of stuff. So

I think that's my favorite part about it and

I think my second favorite part is that you don't

have to go through any of the primping part and

you can basically practically be in your jammies

and you know you don't have to have your hair

done and and and often you're either sometimes

you're recording alone in a booth but often you

get to work in a semicircle with a group of actors

and play off of one another in the moment and

you know it that's really like a dance and it's

just so much fun Yeah, that ensemble. I remember

a couple of years ago now we got to interview

Jason Marsden and I had mentioned to him about

the same thing that you're talking about, about

the voice acting and you know, basically, you

know, you don't have to, you know, put on a suit

and tie or anything like that. And I'm like,

really? Really, Jason? Prove it. The day after

we recorded that interview, he tweeted me a picture

of him in his pajamas at a session for Thundercats

back in 2011. It was hilarious. Funny though,

I think, so I know I voiced Lois Lane in a project

and I think that may have been the one. I went

and somehow the publicist there didn't tell me

that it was, they were going to be doing the

EPK of the, you know, that would be filmed on

camera while we were doing it. And I actually

generally go to voice recordings, you know, somewhat

dressed and stuff. And for whatever reason with

scheduling that time, I was, I think I came straight

from the gym. I was sweaty, no makeup, my hair

was a mess. I walk in and they were like, oh,

did you not get the memo? I'm like, what memo?

Oh, we're shooting on camera today. I was like,

no, are you kidding? And so it's crazy. And they

actually, they were like, we can reschedule your

bit. I'm like, I think. That might be a good

idea. I'm wearing this sweaty tank top. I don't

know if that's the lowest lane persona that will

be the best. So that was funny because it was

the one time that I actually showed up assuming

I wouldn't be seen, but it ended up working out

anyway. Worse things have happened. I think that

was Justice League Throne of Atlantis. It was.

Yeah, that's what it was. Oh my god. I'm impressed.

I'm impressed. I also loved the other character

that, voiceover wise, that I love is the little

sisters in Bioshock. That's a particularly fun,

was a fun recording session and the character

was, you know, was incredible in how she fit

into the game. Very cool, very cool. All right,

now the thing that everyone's here for, A Place

Among the Dead, your new film, how did this come

about? How did you go about writing it with Dev

and the whole thing? What was the genesis of

this? The movie explores the repercussions of

growing up under the sway of narcissism and evil.

My husband, Deverell Weeks, Dev, who you're talking

about, he co -wrote and co -produced the movie

with me and we both come from this background.

We wanted to make a movie that we hadn't seen

before, talk about something that isn't covered

in films and really... isn't talked about in

society as a whole, but there is a yearning for

it. If you type in narcissism, for a search,

the numbers are staggering. YouTube has 9 ,120

,000 videos on the subject. Google has 70 ,400

,000 results. And when you type in psychological

abuse, it has 188 million Google results. Of

course, we're getting at this through art and

entertainment. Right. How was this, with it being

your directorial debut, how was it being on that

side of things? Because most of the projects

you've worked on, at least to my knowledge, you

can always correct me, you've been the actress,

you've been the person playing a part that someone

has written for you. So with you and your husband

writing this and crafting this and you directing

everything to go along with it, How was that

process for you? How did that work in your brain

and all that? You know, I had directed two shorts

before, but this was the first time directing

a scripted narrative feature and being in it

as well as directing it, which means that you're

switching between subjective and objective constantly

while on set at least. The thing that's interesting

in terms of this movie is It is crafted in a

way that it's entirely scripted, but we wanted

to blur the lines of reality. So there's part

fact. factual stuff in there. There's part fiction

and part fantastical. And I play an alter ego

version of myself, as does Gary Oldman, Ron Perlman,

Robert Patrick, Lance Henriksen, Joss Whedon,

and best -selling authors, Charlene Harris and

Anne Rice, appearing for the first time ever

in a scripted movie. And even the interview sections

in the movie, they're all faux interviews. They're

all completely scripted to seem spontaneous.

And so it was definitely, I'll put it this way,

it's definitely a bigger workload. It's funny,

I just was shooting a movie again as solely an

actress. And even though, and it was a very COVID

protocol safe set, the director, uncle passed

away from COVID. So he was particularly, it was

really buttoned down. But the thing that was

funny is even when you're shooting, you know,

really long hours on film sets, you often go

16, 17 hour days. It actually felt like a vacation

compared to when you're wearing so many hats

because you're one component of the whole. You're

not making every creative choice. As the director

and producer, you're there first, you're leaving

last, you're busy looking at footage after the

workday, you're working, prepping for the next

workday. It's basically a 24 -7 gig, so it was

funny because I I, you know, was like, oh, the

few jobs I've been back recurring on clause and

all of that stuff. And it actually feels like

really being, you know, essentially like I'm

in Hawaii or something, because it's so much,

so much less work, you know, even though there's

work, obviously. Obviously, yeah. So with the

COVID precautions and protocols and all that

and everything else, How has that how do you

feel that has chain? I'm sorry that I didn't

send this to you before How do you feel that

has changed Hollywood? How do you feel that you

know, obviously it's for the best Hello, everybody

needs to stay healthy but like as the the creative

part of it or whatever how much of a hindrance

is Like what's the difference between? before

and now Well, I agree with you, first and foremost,

everybody needs to stay healthy and we all need

to take care of one another. The thing that's

been interesting for us work -wise at this juncture

is that we've been doing something which is,

you know, we made this movie for a number of

reasons. First of all, to make an entertaining

film, but also to give voice to what has affected

many. to invite the audience member to become

the participant, to open up a dialogue about

this subject, which is needed right now. We're

in a time where there's an escalation of narcissism,

cruelty, evil actions, bad behavior. So one of

the things that's been interesting in this time

period is that we have been doing something that

has been very much in line with the vision of

why we wanted to make the film in having this

kind of conversation. And so what's happened

is our distributor is Modern Films and they do...

events uh... screening events and so we started

thinking about what what why don't like our premier

uh... why don't we talk to new york comic con

and we ended up being sponsored by new york comic

con and that cosmetics and one of the things

that was was incredible is that I've been to

Comic -Cons and I've done a lot of panels and

the whole structure of that is that it generates

later ticket sales. But this made the film available

right there. There's a hub virtually where everyone

from all over the world, and we've been having

our screening events, streams the movie, watches

it together, has a Q &A, and then we interact

about it right then. And it is a brand new way

to reach audience and with the closures of cinema.

everywhere, as well as the general direction

that movies were going in before COVID, this

will be some aspect of the future. It's the water

cooler slash cinema experience, which has been

lacking culturally, where everything's been so

spread out and dispersed. People watch stuff

on streaming, but there's no sort of coming together

to talk about it, other than people separately

doing blogs and stuff. And so it's been kind

of incredible to get to actually be in the moment

when people are watching it together and then

having these discussions on a global level. And

so that's something that I wouldn't have happened

COVID and in thinking about how to do it. And

what's been extraordinary is every single interactive

zoom with the audience, the entire audience has

stayed and these zooms are lasting four hours

every time. It's been just so profound and so

powerful. Yeah. And the movie itself, I mean,

when I was watching, I was like... This melds,

like you already said, so many things. Since

about, I would say 2008, 2009, I've been a true

crime fan. I've been, you know... watching Investigation

Discovery or I've seen every single Forensic

Files episode multiple times where I can hear

the first sentence out of Peter Thomas's mouth,

may the man rest in peace. I can hear the first

sentence out of his mouth and know what episode

it is and I'm like, okay, no, I can't deal with

that episode right now. Kind of thing. But your

movie... melds that kind of thing in with an

actual fictitious universe, and I think that

is so interesting. Thank you. Thank you. You

know, we chose to use the genre for a number

of reasons. I mean, first of all, it's an entertaining

genre. If you type in vampires, there are two...

uh... two hundred seventy eight million google

results and same with when you look at true crime

at the result the numbers of of results are are

astounding and and so we we wanted to really

uh... who and in our family are never quite sure

there's a character you never quite sure is he

a vampire or is he a sick serial killer who's

emulating uh... of a vampire in the way that

he murders like you're talking about in terms

of that the the true crime you know we wanted

to all the audience into a sense of safety to

explore unsafe and radical ideas. It was a way

also to bring in my history and my connection

to Buffy and Angel and also the other characters'

and actors' histories. And the vampire felt like

the perfect metaphor. for the ultimate narcissist.

And whether he's a serial killer or whether he's

a vampire, the traits are the same. And so that

was, you know, what we're really sort of why

we're using this particular thing. And that's

why we married it in the way that it's constructed.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I honestly think the vampire,

like if you think of all the Universal Movie

Monsters, the vampire is probably the only one

you could, you know, really accurately say that

it's also it could also be a serial killer kind

of thing because i mean the money just unwrap

it frankenstein you put it back in his head right

uh... the wolf man you just shave him he's fine

right Now, I know that, you know, you're talking

about the Zoom audience watches and things like

that. You've actually, we're going to be, I'm

going to actually have this up December 11th.

You've got an event coming up Saturday, December

12th, correct? Yes, we are doing it with, along

with Wales Comic -Con and it's another interactive

event and we will be streaming the movie, doing

the Q &A and having the interactive. zoom and

so yeah that's amazing i'm excited that you're

going to be posting before our next event so

hopefully everyone can listen to this and then

you can go check that out all the links will

be in the show notes for the interview post you

know what Well, I was going to say, one of the

things that's been so fascinating in the conversations

is how much the film is resonating and how many

people have started the conversation with things

like, I've never told anybody this before, but,

and this particular part or this dialogue made

me think about that, which is exactly what I

was saying about wanting the viewer to become

the participant in the movie. That's what we're

really looking at, is that self -reflection.

And whether it's, in the case of the movie, it's

familial narcissism, but whether it's an ex -boyfriend,

a wife, a... family member, a boss, a co -worker,

a friend, or our world leaders. One of the things

that keeps emerging in all of these talkbacks

is how people start saying, it feels like we're

talking about one person. No matter what, these

traits are so much the same that I feel like

you're talking about my ex -husband, or I feel

like you're talking about my girlfriend, or I

feel... And that's been one of the things that

has been emerging from these discussions. Well,

yeah, because everybody... You're approaching

a topic that everyone has some sort of... It's

sad to say, but some sort of experience with.

Yes. I don't think there's anybody in... on our

entire planet has not experienced some form of

evil as sad as that is to say but it's out there

and while it does suck you know we all have like

the first thing I thought of as I was watching

it was I know I am so Self -deprecating to the

point of my depression just going even further

than it already does right because I just I always

say oh I'm the worst or I'm this or I'm right

in the in the last couple of because this is

You are my first well not my first but the first

interview I'm actually producing by myself in

over a year because my computer had been in storage

for the last year so it's like God, I don't want

to screw this up. I don't want to screw this

up. Oh my god I am the one and and I've in a

few of the episodes that I've been recording

in the last couple of weeks I'm like at some

point the episode it's like Eh, it's okay. I'll

fix it in the editing. I'm the worst podcaster

ever anyway, so it's not like anyone's gonna

listen to this. But people should listen to this

one. But you know, that it's so, what you're

sharing is exactly what we've been talking about.

I mean, Dev and I talked about the fact that

we had never seen a film where the voiceover

sounded remotely like the thoughts running through

our minds. And, you know, we did some studies

on this and even for people that come from the

most healthy, loving, stable backgrounds. It

turns out that 80 % of the thoughts in all of

our minds, those voices running those tapes,

are negative. That's a huge amount of derisive

inner monologue going on. And so what we really

wanted to look at is especially if you come from

this kind of background, you're not your authentic

self and you let those negative thoughts and

voices run you and lead you to destructive choices.

You know, the whole point of the movie is that

there is a different way. As an adult, you can

make different choices. You can break those agreements

because we all make agreements. especially in

our formative years and with our families, we

make those agreements and then you operate out

of those agreements to a point. But as adults,

we can say, no, I'm not going to do that anymore.

Obviously, in the movie, my alter ego is... not

doing that, she's letting the unconscious run

the show, she's letting those voices lead her.

Hopefully I'm not doing that in life anymore,

but I did for a long time. And so what you're

sharing about the thoughts, I mean, that's one

of the things that people are responding to so

strongly is, you know, We sort of pretend that

those thoughts don't exist, you know, and what's

been, people feel, I think, liberated to say,

oh my God, I have, I say I'm terrible and I screwed

this up and I, you know, I drive myself in this

way that, you know, isn't necessarily, imagine

if we spent, you know, even 20 % less than that,

like we had 20 % more energy instead of having

those negative thoughts to what could be positive.

contributing to the world, you know what I mean?

And it's so interesting what you're talking about

because... because you know in distilling like

where do those thoughts come from and how many

of those are actually legitimately my thoughts

or how is that how am I running that from something

else that you know I was either told or that

I made this agreement on and it's sort of interesting

to step back and look at that and say hmm and

one of the things that was interesting in scripting

it is Dev and I sort of pooled we are our backgrounds

are are so similar not socioeconomically, not

location -wise, but in every other way. And that's

the thing that we're finding is that it doesn't,

it crosses all boundaries, it crosses all, you

know, parts of the world, all of that stuff.

But what was interesting in doing that and recording

that, this stuff, is thinking at first like,

wow, you know, it's sort of particularly revealing

these ugly thoughts. Oh, you know, people are

going to think whatever they're going to think

about. And the thing that everybody's been saying

is like, oh, I have those all the time. Those

are my thoughts. Like, I felt like you were recording

a lot of my thoughts. Yeah, the narration really

does drive the film as well as obviously the

rest of the pieces that drive the film. But the

narration, I feel is a big part of it, especially

when you get towards the end. I don't necessarily

want to spoil it for people, but I'm going to

say there is a scene where your character is

in a room by herself. And there are times where

like for me, like I try my best every day to

wake up and do the best I can. But if just one

little thing, all it takes is one little crack

and it just ruins the rest of my day. There have

been times where I'm like, I just want to. Be

in a padded room and just scream for hours on

end. That's all I need I just need to let it

and there have been times called last year or

whatever when my when Karen and my wife and I

were out we were living in Illinois at the time,

huh, I Slipped and fell on the ice. I just laid

there and screamed for 20 minutes because I couldn't

move. Oh gosh, you know, so it's like All of

these emotions, all of these feelings, yes, we

want to project the best self we can, however,

alls it takes is, alls it takes is one bad day

and it just, it's just one of those things where

a switch flips and you're like, well this day

is sunk. Even though you may try to get it to

be still a good day after that sinking moment.

Sometimes you just need to go to bed and just

let that day go. Say, okay, that's that day.

Let's continue on to the next one. Well, it's

interesting too what you're talking about because

how many of us have had moments in a room alone.

where you're having, you know, an excess or whatever

of emotion, you know, that you end up in a room

on your own when you've had that bad day, when

you've had that bad thing, you know, that thing

that sort of set you off into the wrong direction

or feeling like that. You know, it's another

thing that's been so interesting is I had a woman

write me a letter who is a BAFTA nominated uh...

hugely successful uh... producer and i'd didn't

know her prior she saw the film and she said

you know i've never told anybody that this before

but this was you know this was my mother and

i spent my life uh... basically and and she's

had all these amazing deal she's put together

like all this incredible stuff and she said every

day i would wake up it's got sort of what you're

you were describing i'd wake up and it was like

crossing this abyss to feel like i deserved to

actually do And some people have an easier go

of it, some people don't, but for me, every single

day and now it's gotten easier and it's so amazing

that you've directed this movie and that this

movie is having the kind of response it is and

the discussions that it's having because if I

had seen a movie like this when I was younger,

I maybe would have had this discussion way before,

like you're the first person I've talked to about

it. And obviously it's great to know you're not

the only person that you know, and I would have

never known about her from looking at her life

on the outside that she would say every morning

it was like crossing an abyss, right? Yeah. Yeah,

because we don't always, even though social media

has, even though it has its toxicities, it's

given a voice to everybody. But most of the time

on social media, Most people are trying to not

be their real selves right right most I mean

it's just a defense mechanism They're put you

know it's like you know you have to fake it to

make it well That's not always true, but sometimes

most people do that just because they don't they

feel as if It's gonna be too vulnerable to share

what they're really feeling or it's gonna be

too I don't want to say, what am I looking for

here? It's going to be too controversial or,

you know, it's going to make their family and

friends look at them in a different light. It's

like, you know, I don't know, it just feels like

you need to be able to have that outlet and I

think A Place Among the Dead is going to give

people like you've already said in this interview,

that it has given people, but once more people

see it, it's gonna show people that you can talk

about these things and it's okay to share these

feelings with whomever you need to share them

with, whether it's a stranger, whether it's your

family, whether it's your friends, spouse, children,

whatever. It's, you know, this is something that

I, and a lot of people say this, it's not just

me, but you know, it's okay not to be okay. Yeah,

and it's okay to have, I mean, and obviously,

you know, you pick and choose like who you want

to, you know, share stuff with and all that,

but you are talking about something where also

there's been a stress sort of on. the superficial,

right? And you know, like what sort of materialism

and what people have and how people look. And

it's nice to look nice, it's nice to have things

that you like, but really if that's it and that's

the level of what sort of... out there. Again,

we're dealing with something when you're talking

about superficiality that links back to narcissism,

right? You're not going deeper and not having

a true human connection about all the other parts

of ourselves that we can connect on and that

we can share on and that we can try to make the

short time that we have on the planet an experience

where we contribute and connect and communicate

and do all these things that hopefully help one

another. Yeah, absolutely. So, A Place Among

the Dead, you've got the premiere tomorrow, December

12th, 2020. Can you give us the details on that,

please? Well, yeah, we actually have done the

premiere already, but we're doing these... Sorry.

That's okay. We're doing these... We're doing

the series of screening events and they are interactive

and they are amazing as we've been talking about.

And the best way for people to check it out is

to go to Modern Films, which is our distributor,

so modernfilms .com slash A Place Among the Dead.

We're also playing right now at Lemley Virtual

Theaters in the U .S. and we will be, you know,

worldwide POVD window will be... coming soon.

But we're going to be continuing doing these

interactive events for a while as well. And so

the tickets and the info is all available at

that link. Awesome. Awesome. Anything else you

want to say about the film before I close it

out, Juliet? I don't think so, unless there's

anything else you wanted to sort of ask me. I

mean, this was a really incredible conversation.

It was. It was. I know this will probably never

happen considering what happens to them, but

how would you approach Drusilla if she ever came

back? Ooh, I don't know. It would be interesting

to see what the storyline would be. It would

be so great. I got to co -write two issues of

the comic book, the IDW comic book about Drew.

It'd be really... cool to see if Drew ever got

to have either like a soul or a redemption story,

like what she would do with sort of all of the

damage that she had created. It'd be kind of

interesting to see what that storyline might

afford. You know, so, I don't know, I think that

maybe. Absolutely, all right. I would like to

thank Miss Juliette Landau for taking the time
