Jonny Brugh Interview

An Interview On One Of His Movies

What was the original inspiration for the movie? When we were all skinny, young, starving comedians, Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement had a couple of vampire characters in mind. They would tell vampire jokes and try to get any virgins in the crowd to meet them after the show. I  guess that was the origin.

Then in 2007 I went round to Taika’s house to shoot a short documentary called Some interviews with some vampires. We stayed up all night and we lounged around in silly costumes talking about what it’s like to be a vampire and generally trying to explain myths about being vampires. It was a huge hit. We all said that one day we would make it into a feature.

How tightly scripted was the film? For the entire shoot I was strictly kept in the dark about every facet of the story. I knew my character, Deacon, and I knew his energy and his fashion sense because those elements were me at heart. But as we shot, I would walk onto set not knowing what would happen. I would then just go with what sprang to mind. In some scenes you can see me just listening to Jemain and Taika wondering what was going on.

Are you surprised by its popularity?

Why do you think it’s been so well received? I am not surprised by how popular it is. The playful nature of comic vampires was always going to feel fresh because most vampire films are so desperately serious and baroque. The vampire genre was crying out for a good comic slapping. It’s the lovely way the dramatic seriousness is undercut by bland kiwi attitudes.

Has the response been different between the New Zealand audience and the international audience that you’ve shown it to? It’s been much the same all over the world so far. I’m about to visit Los Angeles so I’ll know more about how the fans feel there on a more personal level. Kiwi’s are quite dry people compared to Americans.

If you were really a vampire, which one are you most like? I would be Deacon, of course
