Welcome to another edition of SIX OF THE BEST, the semi regular part of BRWC where we fire six questions at lovely people.
Having once expressed that “Robert Rodriguez inspired me, but I’d take a bullet for James Cameron”, you can understand why everybody’s excited for this cult legend’s grindhouse debut The Victim, set to première at this year’s Frightfest! I am of course talking about the original on-screen bad-ass Michael Biehn, now taking on the roles behind the camera with his wife and co-star Jennifer Blanc-Biehn under the moniker, BlancBiehn Productions.
We chat to both of them!
Tell us about The Victim.
Michael: It is a fun little thriller with a bunch of winks and nods to other grindhouse features.
Where did the idea stem from?
Jennifer: From a novella type script penned by a young writer named Reed Lackey and then Michael took three weeks with a page one rewrite.
What was the experience like?
Michael: It was intense and passionate. We have the filmmaking bug along with acting now!
What’s next for you two?
Jennifer: I just filmed two films as an actress – one being Black Butterflies and the other being Quentin Dupieux’s Wrong Cops with Marilyn Manson. And we also have another BlancBiehn production in post-production now called Treachery.
How about you Michael?
Michael: Yes and I am about to begin a film called Tapped where I play an MMC coach like Mr Miyagi to the Karate Kid!
The Victim is obviously a horror/thriller; would you want to try a different genre in the future?
Michael: Yes, Treachery is more of a psycho drama. We also have The Farm coming up directed by Xavier Gens who did The Divide.
Jennifer: I am super excited to head to SITGES, DEDfest and Horrorthon again this year for Danielle Harris’ Among Friends. I play Melanie!
