“PATRICK: EVIL AWAKENS” Set Visit, Part Two: The Veterans

Patrick: Evil Awakens’ is available today on VOD and starts in U.S. theaters
Dance has racked up a series of genre credits that should make him familiar to Fangorians and all other sorts of film enthusiasts. His more prominent roles include turns in ALIEN 3, LAST ACTION HERO and UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING, and he’s appeared in GAME OF THRONES, done shorts and lent his voice to this year’s video game THE WITCHER 3: THE WILD HUNT. He describes himself as “a working slut,” but has no prior knowledge of the original PATRICK—a situation he intends to maintain. “It would serve no purpose,” says the actor, whose own take on the ruthless Dr. Roget, owner of the clinic housing the comatose, telekinetic Patrick, seems rock-solid. “He’s misguided and driven by his quest for scientific glory, but not as clever as he thinks he is. He believes in the whole process of electroconvulsive therapy, and doesn’t believe in this telekinesis. He believes that the waking up of dormant neurons will let the brain repair itself.

“Running out of money is something else that drives him,” Dance continues. “He’s got to come up with something pretty special; otherwise, there isn’t going to be any more funding for his clinic. It’s all pretty much in the script, which impressed me. If it poses questions, I try to get answers to those questions, but it’s pretty clear who this guy is. I don’t need to know what school he went to or what his relationship with his mother was like. None of that is important at all.”

Indeed, Dance welcomes the presence of scripter Justin King on set, while acknowledging that it’s rare to have the writer around while filming. “One reason is that a lot of the time, writers are not treated with the respect they should be given. But there’s a great collaborative feel on this film, which is as it should be. Film is a collaborative art, when it rises to the heights of art. And that comes down from Mark [Hartley]; he creates an environment where people are encouraged to contribute. He knows exactly what he wants, but he’s amenable, and so is Justin. And that’s great, because we’re all trying to put something on the screen.”

Dance claims to be a serious fan of horror movies as long as they’re genuinely frightening, a category he has no problem placing PATRICK in. “Mark is a very clever guy. I’ve seen a little bit of an assemblage he did, and it puts the hairs on the back of your neck up. The set has a great Gothic atmosphere, and that helps get me in the mood for Dr. Roget.“

While Dance observes that Patrick spits in his presence, following the original film’s lead, he won’t go any further in describing Roget’s relationship with his dangerous patient, other than to say that frogs are involved. “Every film presents some kind of challenge. It’s a grave mistake to get blasé and complacent about this strange job we do. Whether we’re doing Chekov or something of this nature, we have to make it as believable as possible. Horror is a serious business, so you have to take it seriously. It’s not a challenge like going down a coal mine for 12 hours a day, or doing brain surgery; we’re pretending, but we hope we pretend with a degree of credibility.”

Got se4 trailer 3

Trailer #3 - Secrets : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIASaUUwklk
What was your first impression when asked for the role?
The fact that the Game of Thrones is an adult version of Lord of the Rings, and the dialogues are shockingly good. But the real surprise came on the set: I thought I signed up to a single television series, have been retired for an apparatus to which many envy cinematic productions. Americans know where and how to spend money, unfortunately this is not true of Europe. In the field of television is pulled away from us.

Therefore undertaken after many decades of a cinematic career in a U.S. TV show?
Not necessarily. Let's face it, every actor, so I can, at some level prostitute: Check dunk there, where there is job. Before completely disenchanted, I would add that the quality of the script and the director's reputation also matters, and the need to travel for the sake of shooting which part of the world. And yes, the amount credited to my bank account does not leave you indifferent. I really do not.

Several times during your career has developed bad guy.
This trend is something that you are looking for overseas productions negative character, a sophisticated British accent speaking actor to be signed?
You need to disappoint, has not been a British accent is the coolest: French and Scandinavian colleagues gradually stole this role. However, I do not think that Tywin Lannister's character would be particularly bad guy. At least in a mythological society, created by George RR Martin is not. Are you sure that the value judgment other than you or me, but since it must compete and retain its position as the twenty-first century, it is clear a more dangerous environment that can do things that are smooth, we say that slap. But I would add that if a person nowadays wants to get ahead in society, may not be the most popular figure.

What is your favorite character on the show?
Tyrion, played by Peter Dinklage. Great actor, I'm trying to persuade him to act out once in Richard III. More would be really striking. His qualities really come out of the costume productions, especially Shakespeare would be good for him. For historical works based on the viewer is always a preconception just by studying or reading about the character. However, it is also true that a set of values ​​and age shows, which has really been exceeded  Richard's character and above all this is so evil as to be grotesque, intrigues, we can not watch without laughing. I can not wait to get back to appear on the scene.

Have you read the novel before George Martin process?
No, and not just read. I do not know what to do with such a book, it does not fit in my handbag, so great. It was more than enough for the scenario in which a great piece of writing. If you have been bad, I would have forced my hand to take the books, but fortunately got away with this scope now.
 
You can not pre-mapped to the character of the scene such as how long it will be?
No. I have no idea. I'll tell you if I have to die.

What is your opinion of the franchise on the James Bond franchise ?
Daniel Craig is the best of all time Bond. First, because a great actor Daniel weight is due to the character of his game.
