If you happen to’re not watching a film this festive interval that particularly has the phrase ‘Christmas‘ in its title, you may seemingly be debating with relations over whether or not it is a Christmas movie, or just a film with Christmas in it.
There’s positively a distinction between the 2. It is why Die Hard, Gremlins and Home Alone are may fall into both class, relying in your viewpoint – and this yr we will add Song Sung Blue to the checklist.
“It was not my intent that this would be a Christmas film”
“It is so fascinating you say that, as a result of it has been the dialog that I have been having currently,” Brewer tells me. “It was not my intent that this might be a Christmas movie. Once we had the primary check, I used to be very nervous going into it, and it examined exceedingly effectively. It was a type of issues the place I feel the Focus Options was stunned by how effectively it was acquired.
“However I had a gathering the subsequent morning with Snoop Dogg at Common, and so they had heard in regards to the testing. I am making a film proper now on Snoop’s life. He later referred to as me that day and he goes, ‘Hey, I heard a I heard a rumor that you’ll be releasing your film on Christmas.’ And I used to be like, ‘that is fascinating. I ponder why Christmas.’ After which I saved on listening to from individuals, ‘that is actually an amazing date as a result of that is when all of the households are coming collectively.'”
He continues, “The film is about, a teenage woman who’s having to deal with her loopy creative dad and mom. It is a few marriage. It is a few household that is struggling by the great instances and the unhealthy. It is about religion. It might not at all times be religion in God, however on this film, it is really, in a bizarre method, religion by Neil Diamond’s music.
“The extra I began wanting on the film, the extra I spotted Lightning did at all times put on pink and Thunder wore blue. I’ve acquired Christmas lights all by this. There’s even a Christmas scene in it. So I mentioned to myself, ‘Craig, I feel you made a Christmas film.’ It’s a Wonderful Life, Die Exhausting… there are arguments as to why they’re thought-about Christmas films. I feel we made one.”
Let’s simply pause the Xmas chat for a second. I can not let you know how excited I’m for a film about Snoop’s life from the director who gave us Hustle and Movement.
Tales rooted in hip-hop outlined Brewer’s breakout on the worldwide stage, however regardless that he can tenderly inform tales in any style – simply take a look at Tune Sung Blue for proof – a visit again to the place it began has me very excited. Bonus factors if Martha Stewart indicators on to play herself.
And sure, Tune Sung Blue is most positively a Christmas film. You possibly can catch it in cinemas from Christmas Day within the US and New Yr’s Day within the UK and Australia.
