Executive producers and directors Jason Bateman and Andrew Bernstein discuss how the "dread and impending doom feel" of Stanley Kubrick's film changed the design of their limited series., HBO’s atmospheric new limited series based on the 2018 Stephen King novel, starts like a familiar kind of slow-burn crime drama: a small-town cop , haunted by a recent tragedy in his own past, investigates a brutal child murder that’s shaken his community to its core.
But once Terry’s ironclad alibi emerges – he was miles away at the time of the murder, and there’s video evidence to prove it – things start to get weird. Weird in an otherworldly sense: As Mendelsohn’s Ralph begins to realize he and his fellow officers are in over their heads,reveals itself to be an unusual blend of grounded police drama and supernatural horror.
“I think that’s what attracted King to the material,” executive producer and director Andrew Bernstein toldat the show’s Los Angeles premiere. “He wanted to take what seemed like a straight crime procedural, and turn it upside down with the supernatural element. It’s a tricky balance, because we wanted to really ground the show in reality and in the characters, rather than try to scare the audience at every turn.
To that end, Bateman and Bernstein identified one iconic King adaptation to use as inspiration for their take onwas a template for what we were trying to do,” Bernstein revealed, pointing specifically to the central question of whether’s increasingly unhinged protagonist, Jack Torrance, is losing his mind in a human way, or being taken over by a supernatural evil.
He added, "I think it's the blessing and the curse of working with HBO – they have such a great track record that you’re inevitably going to be compared to what’s come before. My hope is we can stand on our own and soon people will be comparing other shows to us, and we can be on the other side of it.”
Wow
