“To tell you the truth, it’s a resolution as practical and not public as anything else.My mom and brother were very sick and I left Los Angeles for almost 8 years and took care of them,” Craig Sheffer recalls.while we were talking about his most recent project, Widow’s Point.”Unfortunately, or they passed away.
“I enjoyed the script and enjoyed this character. My favorite horror movie is The Shining.I have to see her every single time she happens.I just thought, ‘Okay, it’s the closest thing to the Nicholsonian’s imaginable, Jack Torrance-style interruption.I was extremely happy that it worked when I saw the cut because we did part of the breakdown in the first two days.And the other component of the interruption last week or the filming.It was a risk.
Sheffer added: “I had to take a lot of notes in the middle to make sure I knew exactly what I had done before.It was fun, but I’m not going to lie; it was a genuine challenge.It was a short session, which was ideal because I couldn’t stay away from my brother for long and I had to ask someone to take care of him.My brother passed away last fall. I came back here, I came to Los Angeles the time of the week of February and they closed everything in March.I was here for a pilot, I was going to make a movie in June, and it all stopped.
For the actor, Widow’s Point was all he needed more than a business decision.
“It’s the first thing I’ve done in a long time, ” he said.”About five years ago, I made a little movie to make some money, but I thought it was fair.I paint with a friend, I know that Greg Lamberson, the director, his circle of relatives and the entire Buffalo team felt like a circle of relatives.Besides, my daughter plays the widow in the film, so that’s what I needed in many ways, in addition to loving the task itself.
“I liked the intensity of everything. The days are long, and the older I get, the more I suffer at night, but the next day you get up and you have to be able to go.It’s another experience. I’ve made movies that have lasted six months, but it’s an absolutely different case, especially when you’re pretty involved in each and every scene.”
Widow’s Point is Sheffer’s first horror film in decades and would have liked to have kissed earlier.
“Early in my career, I was pretty snob,” we admitted.” I came home from Broadway, started acting and I don’t forget that I was doing That Was Then, This Is Now, and director Joel Schumacher came to me to play on The Lost Boys.Stupidly, I thought, “I don’t need to make a vampire movie.”If I hadn’t passed this on, I might have become a Scream King.”
“Over the years, my biggest focus was on looking at dramas and building me as a dramatic actor, but, of course, Nightbreed was irresistible.It was intended to be a three-movie contract and it would have been exciting if it had worked.Fox cut the film again, but the film was cut again to be more in line with the vision.We toured the country selling it for a few years.I’m a big fan of this movie.”
Made for $11 million and grossed $8.9 million at the national box office, while Nightbreed is not an advertising success, it is a cult film and a favorite among horror fans.The global, created through Clive Barker, is a global in which Sheffer hopes to return..
“Some other people who have ties to the original production company are looking to combine a series,” he confirmed.”They were working with Clive on that, but, as I know, not everything was combined.The idea, of which I understood that the first season would be that my character, Boone, is now the patriarch with his wife, Lori, by his side.At the end of the first season, the patriarch is killed, then his son takes over as chief.
“That was the concept I had heard. I don’t think anything genuine has come out of him yet, or Clive would have told me.I think it would be a wonderful series. That’s why I’d be here.I am no longer a snob and enjoyed the total experience.”
Sheffer’s career is full of gems, some of which are in favor of films such as A River Runs Through It, in which he shared the prominence with Brad Pitt.One such film is the 1993 sci-fi biographical film Fire in the Sky.
“It’s a real, cool story. I don’t think Paramount knew what to do with it, ” he explained.”The studio didn’t invest much money and I think design was a challenge for some critics.I don’t know what that meant that didn’t land. I think it was well done.I want this movie to get more attention.”
Another favorite of Sheffer is the independent drama Sleep with Me, which reunited him with a Kind of Wonderful co-star, Eric Stoltz.
“I liked this character,” the actor said. He was some other attractive, complicated, strange character and a fair situation of six other writers.They all wrote other sections of this, they were all like friends and it worked.It was another depressed, filthy film. I think we shot this in three weeks, I love doing things like that.
He has an equivalent affection for the first film he starred in alongside Stoltz, Some Kind of Wonderful, produced through John Hughes.
“For me, it’s a good time,” he recalls. It was a laugh at the time because I think it’s my third film, I just played heroes, and it was a big turn for me.I liked what I did; I liked the way it was and, to be fair to you, it’s a laugh to be an idiot.
However, it is the sports drama The Program with which, like Widow’s Point, it has a connection.
“It’s very special to me, and it’s one of the ones I’ve laughed the most at because I played football at school,” Sheffer said.”Believe it or not, the school I went to at ESU.State University in the film, and I played at East Stroudsburg University.I played baseball and football there, so it’s close and expensive for my heart.Besides, we had to do three weeks of football camp before the movie started.Quarterback and I can throw the ball 70 yards, so I had a great time doing that.
While the movie grossed just $ 23 million, Sheffer’s good fortune is far greater.
“In the most sensible of all, I had other wonderful people to paint with,” the actor recalls.”The total cast is amazing; in retrospect, it’s crazy.I mean, I started running with James Caan, the guy I made the first movie I cried in when I was 12, Brian’s Song.There, I made a football movie with him.It is the most productive of all worlds”.
Widow’s Point is now available on VOD.
