00:00So much of this film feels Stephen King-coded to me.
00:03Fair.
00:04I mean, really, just from, like, I mean, the alcoholic school teacher, 217.
00:08How much was that in your head?
00:12Subconsciously.
00:12Yeah?
00:13217 has to have come from that.
00:15It has to have.
00:16And, look, I'm a Kubrick guy when it comes to The Shining, you know?
00:20I definitely, like, worship that movie.
00:23And I thought of changing it to 237.
00:25But then I was like, you know what?
00:26My first impulse has got to be the one I stick with.
00:29So I kept 217.
00:30Sure.
00:30Yeah, you know, there's something, you know, the Needful Things trailer promised something that my imagination just went nuts with
00:38when I saw that as a kid.
00:41And I had a different experience when I watched the movie.
00:43But the trailer, I was just, like, kind of really into a small town just imploding over one central, like,
00:50mystery.
00:50And so I think that might have also been present when I was writing.
00:53Back in the head, yeah.
