Interviews with Willem Dafoe, Christoph Waltz, Walter Hill & Extra!

Walter Hill’s Lifeless for a Greenback is the type of film they don’t make anymore. A tough and tumble Neo-western, regardless of a modest funds Hill’s assembled a robust Western programmer (learn my overview). He’s helped alongside by a top-shelf solid, together with Christoph Waltz, Willem Dafoe, Benjamin Bratt, and Warren Burke. I lately spoke to all 5 guys in a single interview block as a part of the junket for the film.

Christoph Waltz, who performs the bounty hunter hero Max Borlund is, as at all times, an eccentric interview, with a remark about his distinctive cowboy hat resulting in a little bit of a rant about hat makers and the chemical compounds they used to make them. Attention-grabbing.

As Joe Cribbens, Borlund’s lifelong enemy, Willem Dafoe discusses his first time making a western, whereas Walter Hill explains the film’s dedication to his mentor, Western director Budd Boetticher. In the meantime, the superior Benjamin Bratt discusses his clean baddie, Tiberio Vargas. On the similar time, newcomer Warren Burke provides me the perfect reply when speaking about his show-stopping whip-fight, which takes place about midway via the movie. 

All in all, it’s an fascinating set of interviews, with Waltz as intimidating as one may think. Hill, after all, is a legend, and if you happen to’re a fan of his work (which included 48 HRS, Streets of Fireplace, The Warriors, The Lengthy Riders, and lots of extra), it’s best to verify this out in theatres or on-demand now!
