Joe Lansdale beantwortet den Sons of Spade einige Fragen:
I based a lot of Hap on myself, and Leonard on friends of mine. It’s that simple. But, of course, a lot of who they are is made up. I had a number of the jobs Hap had, and some of the other experiences. No murders and killings, but the background.

„Battlefield Earth“ hat kürzlich den Razzie als schlechtester Film des Jahrzehnts erhalten. Drehbuchautor J. D. Shapiro hat den Preis persönlich entgegengenommen und die Gelegenheit genutzt, ein wenig aus dem Nähkästchen zu plaudern:
It wasn’t as I intended — promise. No one sets out to make a train wreck. Actually, comparing it to a train wreck isn’t really fair to train wrecks, because people actually want to watch those. (…)
My script was very, VERY different than what ended up on the screen. My screenplay was darker, grittier and had a very compelling story with rich characters. What my screenplay didn’t have was slow motion at every turn, Dutch tilts, campy dialogue, aliens in KISS boots, and everyone wearing Bob Marley wigs.(…)
The only time I saw the movie was at the premiere, which was one too many times. (…)
Now, looking back at the movie with fresh eyes, I can’t help but be strangely proud of it. Because out of all the sucky movies, mine is the suckiest.

Horrorautor Norman Partridge hat sich mit
Duane Swierczynski (aka Duane Louis) unterhalten:
It’s the work that matters. Don’t get caught up in the rest of the nonsense — the business and marketing and trend-watching and all of that. Sure, it’s important. But the work comes first. Sit your butt in a chair and keep writing. When you’re not writing, read your eyeballs out.
