We sat down with Norwegian filmmaker André Øvredal to talk about the making of Trollhunter, collaborating with Guillermo del Toro, and his new supernatural horror film, Passenger, which is hitting theaters this week.
In this episode, we’re joined by the director of yet another horror movie in theaters this month, André Øvredal, the filmmaker behind fan favorites like Trollhunter, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Now, he’s back with his latest supernatural horror film, Passenger.
Together, we had an awesome conversation about his history with horror, from a childhood memory of a haunted tennis court movie to obsessively reading Stephen King novels. We also dove into the behind-the-scenes of Trollhunter’s iconic VFX and his approach to finding humanity within monsters.
We also talked about his collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, van life culture as reflected in Passenger, and a super sick projection sequence in his latest film.
This episode is packed with great stories and insight into filmmaking as a craft. So …
COME HANG OUT!!!
