John Carpenter’s long hiatus from filmmaking is a real bummer. The maestro took over a streak of masterful films that included Halloween, Escape From New York, Big Trouble in Little China, and more. It was brilliant and a totally unparalleled streak. After In the Mouth of Madness, Carpenter wasn’t as active anymore. And he hasn’t been in a hurry to get back.
Over this time he has worked on comics as well as some really great music. But, is it possible that Carpenter has already directed his next project and just not mentioned it?
While he was talking at Texas Frightmare Weekend, Carpenter went on record to let fans know that he directed his next thing already in secrecy.
“I just finished directing, remotely, a TV series called ‘Suburban Screams’ ‘John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams,’” Carpenter announced “It was filmed in Prague, and I sat on my couch and directed it. It was awesome.”
Carpenter is a bit of a grouch and a smart ass… so is it possible that he is messing with us? It would 100 percent be his style. But, then again he might be telling the truth…
If it is true, the plans for release, who starred in it, the plot, and everything else are being kept under wraps.
If it is indeed real, I hope that Carpenter wrote it and directed it. Even if he is being lazy and directing from a couch, barking orders it would be brilliant to see him back in film/TV.
We will be sure to let you know if there are any more details announced on this one. In the meantime what do you think? Do you think Carpenter directed this TV project from his couch and in secrecy? Let us know in the comments section.
