Io9 has an interview with Cung Le, a real life strike force champion (buttkicker) that plays Manh in the forthcoming scary stuff on a dark and haunted spaceship movie “Pandorum”. Cung Le dishes quite a lot of good info. Pandorum also stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster and is directed by Christian Alvart.
Some choice bits.
What can you tell me about your character in Pandorum?
Pandorum takes place in a spaceship. There are two crew members who wake up, and they think that they are all alone but they don’t know what they’re supposed to do, because they just came out of the [hyper-sleep] chamber. Basically, they wake up and Ben [Foster], who plays Bower, starts exploring the ship. They realize there’s a lot of other people on the ship living there, some are good, some are not. And there’s a lot of twists and turns that you will never believe.Does the movie ever get gory? I mean the posters are freaky.
There’s not that much gore, but there is some. There’s a little bit of everything. This is more similar to Aliens, that sort of tone from back in the day.
Are you fighting aliens, or space madness?
There’s space madness, there’s high action suspense, from action to creepy scary. When you go to the theaters with your girlfriend or boyfriend, one or the other is going to jump into someone’s lap screaming. Even I got scared and I’m a Strikeforce World Middleweight Champion. I was like, holy – excuse my Vietnamese – shit.
Space madness movies are good stuff. Head over to Io9 for the full interview.
