We Have a Ghost Interview: Director Christopher Landon (creetureshow) Talks Netflix Movie
writer Christopher Landon about the comedy movie. The writer discussed balancing horror with comedy and the 2020 slasher comedy“Finding a ghost named Ernest haunting their new home turns Kevin’s family into overnight social media sensations,” says the synopsis. “But when Kevin and Ernest go rogue to investigate the mystery of Ernest’s past, they become a target of the CIA.”
Yeah, I think if there’s one thing that I do a lot, it’s blend genres. My North Star is always character-driven. Like if you present the audience with characters that they’re invested in, they will go anywhere with them. And I mean that in the sense that they will move through different genres with your characters as long as their journey is consistent. So that was something that I was able to do here.
I was curious just about filming with a silent actor. There’s only so much you can put into a script, so I imagine when the character’s not talking like that, a lot of that comes down to David’s performance. How was it working with him and seeing that character come to life? I definitely wanted to set up the rules as quickly as I could, but not belabor them, you know? I didn’t want it to become this like whole rule-y expositional slog. You just kind of lean into the idea that this is a guy that is made of energy. That energy can be harnessed and controlled and that it also can be something that’s way more malleable and fluid.
He’s the guy that hangs out after we wrap and is telling jokes and making the whole crew laugh and there’s a warmth to him that was vital. So I wanted the audience to like him, to understand him and know that, yeah, he’s trying to provide for his family and he’s trying to do the right thing, but he’s going about it in the wrong way.
