THE SCREEN WATCHING INTERVIEW: NEILL BLOMKAMP
Sunday, September 5, 2021 at 8:59AM Neill Blomkamp burst onto the international film scene with the instant classic, DISTRICT 9 (2009), earning Oscar nominations and blockbuster profits. The Matt Damon/Jodie Foster scifi epic ELYSIUM (2013) and Hugh Jackman robot thriller CHAPPIE (2015) has made him one of the most influential figures in genre cinema.
His latest film is DEMONIC, a possession thriller starring Carly Pope as a woman able to see exactly what turned her mother into a serial killer when new tech allows her to roam inside her psyche.
Blomkamp has scaled things back a bit, shooting in his hometown of Vancouver and bringing blockbuster ideas to life on an indie budget. From his home, Bloomkamp spoke with SCREEN WATCHING's Simon Foster about the heady mix of ideas that came together to bring DEMONIC to life, his relationship with fans and critics and what to expect from his Oats Studio thinktank...
DEMONIC will release through The Reset Collective across all key digital channels from September 15 and on DVD/Blu-ray from 22 September.
