STRANGER THINGS 3 interviews - Wolfhard, Brown, Schnapp, Keery, Matarazzo, Montgomery, Sink, Duffer

I'm a huge fan of duffer brothers I love the combination of us and CGI yeah how does the nose blood work and is it is it always see is it CG is real I was wondering how it works in the sequences question I genuinely think it's a question nobody else's are you serious no I want to know how it's done yeah no oh yeah me too I do want to well there was a few well there was a few it's season one I remember they would inject a little blood up the nose just and they would wait for it to trickle down yeah but then it was too slow yeah we made a different formula where it would go a little bit faster and then that formula was too liquidy so then we actually got the perfect formula in order to put it up my nose dripped and so yeah and so then by the end of it I kind of got the hang of just putting up my nose holding it up there saying action and then just coming down and then going all right everybody everybody and I don't think there's any CG there has been a couple times sometimes because we are just like oh cool in a rush yeah many other times yeah my favorite scenes in the whole season of this particular seasons when you guys sneak in a day of the Dead and I've snuck into so many r-rated movies and I was a kid do you remember the first already movie you snuck into I've never been like told like you can't watch it I I snuck into Ted to I was with my parents okay it was fine I could go with but the first movie that I recruit snuck into I've never had to sneak in well I bought it I had already seen inside out we're just and and yeah okay so I had seen inside out and the plan was to go by inside out tickets yeah is to buy inside on tickets and then go and see Ted too right I had already seen inside out so that was mine it's not like I you know but then I was friends and we had a good time so one thing I love about the show the music oh what was your seeking I didn't the music in the show excitable the duffer's are geniuses and I would love to know what like 80's audiences would think of help earn to California I don't love to know what they would think of your band I don't know I 80 s 80s audience says I think that there's some eighties in he doesn't want to blow smoke but they'd love it yeah music sake and especially the rock and roll I could totally see it being played oh yeah thank you yeah they should get me to write some songs for the oh my god and then on the screen would be like music music yeah but then I I'd replace Kyle and Michael who did all this no but like an fit one thing I noticed in this particular season is you're generally in the same clothes the entire season oh yeah so I wanted to know about the continuity of that is actors like will you jump in and out of like if the clothes are less distressed in one scene than more distressed like how does that work as an actor lovely you know we shoot in a lock sequence where we're doing 1 & 2 3 & 4 5 & 6 7 & 8 so you have some sort of it's not like you're going from like clean cut in the first to the end but yeah you're generally jumping like chronological laya based on like scene order but we definitely it's not as sporadically but there are multiple versions every cost yeah because I mean you got a the hardest part is probably for like hair and makeup to try and like make sure that yeah keep everything the same the hardest part was like making sure that all my props were oh I tried to chew a piece of wait wait you actually put the older gum in your mouth and a lot of the props they actually like fine on eBay and there's a lot of these bags of chips they'll like source and buy the coke and stuff like that yeah it's like there's like a Taco Bell coming soon old logo - the best I agree with you got a retro uno deck it's so cool the walkie-talkies actually work and I know they do you actually hear like when you're on the walkie talking to any of the characters are you getting any of their voices back to you sometimes it's usually not the other actors it's usually someone in the crew or Matt Ross reading off-camera reading the dialogue cuz a lot of times when especially with the whole with with the whole child labor laws thing so a lot of times like the kids need to be in school when they're not on camera and so when I'm in the middle of a shot and I need to read or like Weatherly you guys are doing a shot and I'm not there a lot of times the walkie-talkies will work not always but it's cool when it does they work but we couldn't hear anyone on there yeah the frequency you heard all that all the sounds and stuff but it didn't work but if you're talking to somebody who's not in yours yeah with you you know getting that voice no no no that's too mean oh my god I know it's a film someone would just do the lines behind the camera yes yeah my favorite thing with the duffer brothers two things one they combine practical and CGI effects masterfully to the score of this series of the leading character music is humanly a living as a musician because I mean I know it has curious what you think a tease audiences would've think about your band oh I have no idea the bit I used to play this band in Chicago yeah I don't know it's kind of uh it's kind of all over the place the band and the music which is something that I really enjoy about it but I think that probably people listening to it would be like what is going what what genre would you put it it's hard like like psychedelic like a black like I want to see you and your bin I know you're not in the band anymore but never ban and Finn's bangle and we're together I mean that needs to happen here stranger things reunion or whatever yeah hey no no every actor in stranger things is in some really yeah we were one before the other but season four is actually a musical I actually would watch that in two seconds you guys thank you so much well I'm gonna ask you about that because I've never interviewed you before on the van flip in season 1 you you said that it was shot separately but you want me to look on set for you and you said it didn't flip the first time oh yeah I remember them telling us that they were about to do the van flip and I'll say oh we're gonna be actually under the van when it flips over it's not like oh no that would be super dangerous but um they pieced us in and of course and editing but I remember watching it the first time it didn't flip it actually just skidded across so I'm glad you weren't there but it was crazy to watch you know that the duffer's are amazing because they they love practical effects they like trying as much as they can in camera um on season 2 specifically because we can't really talk a lot about season 3 what is your favorite effects shot that you've been a part of like like that just blew your mind like in person and you can stick on to if you want because I can't yeah yeah yeah I mean I think I'm like in the bus scenes when I look up and I scream at the demagogue and I don't know what I was screaming at at the time but just like a tennis ball or something yeah honestly I think it was but then looking back and like seen the full edited version what do they give you feeling wind and stuff like they just like blowing fans in your face yeah they're only did they had a fan so that it was like the you know when it roared I kind of I had no idea I always been fascinated with it because you guys are such a great cast is there a big group text like that you guys are all on we do have a group text especially when we're filming just hey alright are you guys going in today or let's go to Six Flags but we don't really text something yeah I think we definitely have one but I don't know how active it is right cuz we're so busy yeah now there's a great scene in the first episode of this season where they sneak into a day of the day the r-rated movie Day of the Dead and I was just curious what is an hour movie you snuck into like snuck into one but just be like oh I went into I went to go see us yes yeah and that was our rated yeah you slogan no I didn't sneak in it but they just let me in like they didn't do thing today say oh we know you've been stranger things no they were just like enjoy the movie they didn't get card you know that's amazing like it's not scary I know but I mean when I get scared really easily yeah it was amazing go again Lupita's performance cool yeah I never so many clothes it's an original piece I think the accent thing is so fascinating me because you'd nail it it's like unbelievable to hear you talk in real life than hear you on the show are there specific words that are harder to get down and do you stay in it throughout the day even when the cameras off no I don't stand it when the cameras off I spent the whole third year at drama school extracurricular ly learning the accent I had a little like almost like a podcast that I'd listen to when I played it on the bus and when I was going to sleep and just kind of leave the accent I think the hardest thing is like what they call like I believe the road ik R which is like we say part we don't pronounce the R as I say part yeah right and I think that's a big part of linguistically I think maybe the difference between our accents do you ever find yourself switching into American in your normal life like only when I tell Americans my name Korea beside dico which is a perfect example and you guys say Dacre cuz it's like over the day so I find myself we were just talking about this saying hi i'm taker yeah and hi i'm taiko that's just so fast the music in this show to me is a leading character the duffer's score the score there is insane because the show is so musically balanced with that score do they give you any of that unset because it does perfectly aligned with the way you do your totally I think it's definitely part of the heartbeat of the show and I think you know a lot of the time we give a lot of guidance around like when Billy's first opening scene happened in season two I was asked by them what song would you like for that week we you know we pan up from Billy's boots to his jean you chose that no I didn't choose it but what I'm saying is they open up this forum of like what do you think here's what we're thinking what would you and I think the thing I chose was Iron Butterfly in a garden of vida and you know go listen to the song but I took it out that's like my thing with them is they're so open to discuss that's amazing now obviously it was a great moment in the first episodes we can't talk about a lot but they got the kids sneak into an r-rated Day of the Dead George Romero film yeah I was wondering what do you member a movie you snuck into as an RA well my dad actually took them to he took me to them up a guy he cooked a lot of flack from the other parents he worked in the film industry and he would always wanna you don't want to take me to films and explain things I I remember I must have been on the eleven and he took me to blade Trinity that's amazing which was like super violent there's like sex and blood and like the c-word and like other stuff and I just remember he took my other friend and the other friend didn't have the same parents that had the same looseness of you know moral whatever and and I remember this kid came out going oh I'm so scarred like I said you know and I was like dude but you haven't seen blade 1 and 2 don't you don't have any much plate 1 the other day it's so it free page so well when he throws that thing around and slices all their heads off I'd I snuck into cinema but it wasn't for an r-rated movie it was because I wasn't allowed I wasn't allowed to go into that specific cinema really yeah well I was mean I went I'd what happened previously had been there with like a big group of friends and being loud and you know we were ruining the movie for other people and just those kids who nobody wanted in the fear so they said well you can't you know you don't they kind of banned us from the theater so I thought if I spray my hair with a spray black spray can and part I'll get a little sneak in my dad what was the movie you snuck in for do you have a story already not maybe to a theater its Titanic r-13 ah 13 yeah did you ever like wasn't behind your parent I know I was a very vivid memory from being a little kid like watching it behind the couch and maybe getting in trouble for some reason The Shining what I snuck into the shining just came to me not the shining sorry sorry never won it's not the shining it's some signs signs I don't know why oh man I travel on em again I snuck into that but that's cool I love the idea of your internship at Hawkins post and I know this is a public uestion you're not gonna get a lot in the press tour but what internships that you have each had in your own lives I mean yeah have you had internships have you done them before in real life I mean I once well I uh yeah I had to work in a work placement for months no two weeks it was in a mobility scooter shop so I had to do basically I was I had to take you know old people and they've come and then even pick up a mobility scooter I thought I'd test these little screws to make sure they were charged and running or some of them didn't wanna be on the scooters did you know they bit scared to be on the scooter so I just push them around and take them shopping in a mall actually I did that for two weeks I love I said I remember an eBay if you're watching that's amazing all right well first of all gradual aces to you both I find it interesting how the directors are in each episode so you I believe you do one two seven eight that's right Shaun does four three four so how do you decide who does those well I think it's worth so you know we're writing so we try to bookend we always like starting it off just getting getting back into the groove and being there with the cast of the beginning and then we have to go off in right and you know so yeah so Shawn I think it's a bit of superstition at this point he's all he's done cuz he did three and four season one yeah so he went to end into the season two and now it's just like we don't want to we want to break break from that so he always says three and four and then it's exciting because we you know were able to bring in you know an exciting guest director usually you know we did Andrew Stanton for season tune this year it would have Bruce a--what's who just who was it those episodes are insane she's insane yeah she's unbelievable I mean she did she had she's done she's done a lot she's done before I mean she's like a veteran and she started out as a DP she does and she did I thought you know in my favorite episode of Westworld season two and um you know we were like we have to get her and you know she absolutely crushed it you both utilize score as a leading character yes so brilliant because like I'll take this one of the actors earlier to go it's a heartbeat of the episode it's such a massive part of the emotion the storyline everything you're doing do you give them any of that onset because it is so in sync with what they're doing and my favorite thing you guys do is you go from like that happy to the to the dramatic it's like so well done my emotions just rollercoaster or throughout that it's amazing Thanks thank you I think yeah I mean we occasionally especially if it's a big emotional scene where they're or it's a really scary scene those are so the two when we need you know if the actor wants what we always are will you know provide well you know we blast you know there's some very emotional music and then like everyone in the crew is crying and it's great or or if it's really scary particularly you know you know a lot of time these monsters they're obviously not real and so you have you know they're looking at like a beach ball attached to a stick yeah so to help amp that up we'll play music and sometimes yeah it is from our our composers on the show and then sometimes it'll just be like Jurassic Park or something else it helps them get in the in the space yeah I know we I know we play it's like you know there's they're sort of these Spielberg II sequences in the mall where they're hiding and yeah I'm sure we definitely play John Williams for that yeah um sometimes I actually don't want to Ben sometimes often times saying yeah oftentimes they do especially the kids it helps them a lot and so and I'd like it helps me when I'm watching it it makes the scene feel more complete and alive and you're right in like music it's such a big part of the show so it's not when we're able to do it it's nice the problem is then you can't use any of the dialogue or any of the eighty or eighty or all the breaths all the screams or whatever's of that that is the one downside of doing so whenever we get in post I'm mad at myself for playing music but in the moment on set it's you know it's gonna be essential that's amazing I have so many questions so I'm trying why are these I love obviously the introduction the the this music and the credits um so much so that I guess I've now watched what eight times three is it was like twenty four I've watched it outside you watch it really so even on the third season I don't it gives you an option to skip I never skip it talk about that came about in the sense of like how you created that title sequence because it is so fascinating then you go through the letters it's so right well I think no so very early on we like were there all these incredible elaborate title sequences and we knew we didn't really want to compete with that we wanted to do something were like simple and basic and we talked a lot there was a title designer in the 80s Richard Greenberg yeah yeah I mean like all that is any great film with a great title sequence that you can think of I mean alien and Superman and altered states and untouchable whatever so but in and so when we told the company who did the tiles first Imaginary Forces when we said Richard Greenberg to graphic designers he's like a god and they were thrilled that someone wanted to do a Richard Greenberg some people's and other things like these letters but they understood right away when we mentioned Greenberg what that the simplicity could be could be more effective and help it stand out more amidst this crowd of again and like messing increasingly elaborate sort of CG sequences and keeping it short I you know keep it short 30 seconds and then and then or you know whatever because to me when I end up skipping title sequences is when they run a minute but that was an idea was short enough that ones I don't skip tend to add to the mood of the piece were in there that's what there's was it was like this like it was like this right yeah it works yeah exactly I read some of your fans I got a fan question for you guys I thought it was the best one I received let you guys go ahead and so we just wanted to ask you when we'll finally have the opportunity should make a movie with you you're dealing stranger things so and we hear of season three is the best yet so can't wait to see it well target 2025 how's that the Russo brothers said they've been trying to work with you guys we've been really supportive I don't know it's like the brother or whatever I think part of its the brother they like nerd brothers and I don't know we you know they're like they really know their stuff obviously you know so and and we don't we especially you know as a show has grown we're moving more into like blockbuster territory with lots of big visual effects no one you know right now has more experience with cutting-edge visual effects than the Russo so they're like good you know we you know whenever we can we sit down with them and pick their brain do you have yeah how did you do this how do you do that I don't know I mean a lot of this stuff we don't know how to do like what is something specific you took from like an MCU film in regards to like a visual bet that you're like how'd you do that I could apply it here it's more like you know when we're talking them it's more like more like process you know how long you shooting how many cameras you have set up for these sequences and they just have an overall approach that allows them to pull off these films relatively quickly and so with a sense of scale that you would think would take a lot longer so you know it's the films are very different but we're able to like you know steal some of their methods when I remember specifically we're talking about visual facts more like how do you when you see a visual fact and you know it's not quite right but you don't know how to how to get it they're like what are you doing they're just they just said they just said we just tell them to put it back in the oven and so that's like now our like our go-to for ever not sure of and what note to give we're just said it's not ready go back put it back in the oven but one thing I wanted mention I love the scene when they go see Day of the Dead yeah and it reminded me of it being kids sneaking into r-rated movies yeah remember your first sneak into an r-rated film we were we were like we were goody two-shoes I mean in terms of like I I don't think we we had the courage to think in an r-rated film the good thing is our dad he was a big movie fanatic we grew up in North Carolina his friends weren't really into movies and they were all like sports guys but we were in the movies and so he wanted in he didn't like MOOC to go and see movies by himself so he would take us to movies we really should not have been seeing I mean I remember for the longest time just being the only child and these movies so we were seeing r-rated movies very very early and then we would just you know we've rent Masek whatever he want I remember telling her mom like Evil Dead that's its unrated but yeah but we were like I think I was 10 and I said it was underrated but I lied I said Leonard Maltin said it would be pg-13 in his book so and she goes a lynyrd said it would be people saying okay and then and then we rented it and we're have been traumatized yeah evil Dead's definitely like not one you can play slide by but it's like the hand okay I could say and like the humor of it goes yeah one thing I want to say I love the fact that you guys combined practical and CGI masterfully unfortunately I can't ask you a lot about season three because it's so spoilery but I'll tell the audience it is the best season I love this season so much but I want to go back to season one because I think one of the coolest visual effects shots I've ever seen is the van flip and I just wanted to know can you walk me through how you achieve that because there's a you cut out to this long shot of the flip in slow-mo as the kids are riding and it's like blows my mind every time I watch it well what's you know what's fun about that one is it's not really visual effect I mean the kids weren't there obviously but the van you know actually flipped and the first time we did it though you know we the camera set up and van went and just didn't make it far just skidded just slammed right in the camera just destroy the van destroyed the cameras or everything and there's a lot of pressure to go like let's just make a CG van and Matt and I really thought it wouldn't look quite right so we said let's just write one please can we try it one more time and luckily our line producer wrote the check and they did it one more time and it was perfect so it's just you shot that wide shot van flipped then you had the kids bike through and then they just like this easiest visual effect ever just sort of comp the kids in there and there you go but I think that's one reason you know it looks good we did it unreal that if you can do it for real way to do it in the camera that's what it's gonna look a mer Yeah right two more quick ones Mele Bobby Brown's the the blood drip it happens a lot in this season I was just curious is how that because she was telling me that it was achieve a they shoot it up her nose or like there it's like it wasn't thick enough like huh yeah how does that process check if you know it's a Bennet yeah no Season one you know you're trying to do the blood drip for real which is I don't even remember how we were little like sponge in there baby slowly drop you it was just it was a nightmare now basically what we do you you paint it in I mean they they put it in but it's already tripped out right and then her it's already done it's already down no but then we if we need it to fall we erase it and then our artists make it drip all right last things I wrap me up this show is incredible because it takes place in the eighties this particular season and you shoot digitally yeah yeah yeah but it looks like film okay how wide you think it that how are you how do you do that um we have an incredible colorist skip Kimball and who like he helped really helped design the look and aesthetic of the show we told him really early on we want it to look filmic we wanted to look like it was from that era yeah so he has he has a process it it's it's real scanned film grain that he puts over it so that I think that that's what gives it that softer look aesthetic so it's shot on a red camera shot on a digital camera with an added layer it's real grain it's sort of soft it gives it it makes it feel older it softens the edges so you get a you get rid of some of that sort of digital crispness which is which helps it feel of the period
