The Big Picture If you missed out on Collider’s theatrical screening of Werewolf by Night in color, fear not, readers! Following the very first big screen showing of the Disney+ Marvel special, Editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub sat down with the director, Michael Giacchino, for an extended Q&A.
Now that has been out and the reaction has been so positive, what was it like for you when it first came out and all the reviews were positive, and everyone was like, “Oh, this is really good?” You know, I had been talking to Kevin Feige over the years. He knew, not necessarily about directing, but he knew I wanted to do that, he knew I wanted to get back into that. One day, we were just talking, and he just said, “Well, if you wanted to direct something here, what would you want to direct? What would it be?” And I was like, “Werewolf by Night.” He's like, “What? Werewolf by Night? Everyone always asks for Spider-Man or, you know, the giant stuff.
The funny thing was, when you're making this stuff, you do test screenings, and you show it to people, and you see what the reaction is, and the first time we showed it, no one got it. No one got it. So many of the responses were, “Where's Doctor Strange? Is Captain America gonna show up? Doesn't Spider-Man…?” And I was just like, “What?” And I remember Kevin looked at me, and he goes, “Did we break the audience? We might have broken the audience.” I was like, “I don't know.
GIACCHINO: Yes. I wanted to do it in black and white. They were not sold on that immediately, so they said, “Shoot it in color, and then we'll see.” Now, when you're shooting something for black and white, you light it very differently than you do when you're lighting for color, so it was a little tricky. Our DP, Zoë White, who was incredible, she set up a special monitor just to have the black and white so we could review black and white as we were shooting.
GIACCHINO: Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my favorite movies of all time for so many reasons because it was made for a price made on a schedule that was really tough, and it was where Steven really learned how to juggle and get things done on time on budget.
GIACCHINO: We did it as we were finishing the black and white one. It was always planned as a thing to, after we finished the black and white, “Let's go back and let's see if we can make a color version. Let's see what would that look like to us.” We were all interested in what that would be, and especially as a fan of Hammer and horror films.
