I love you Jessica.

JESSICA CHASTAIN

Ohhhhh. Shit. You’re probably going to piss off Mama.

She DOES. MAMA pops around the house SCARING THE SHIT out of EVERYONE and briefly sucks the life out of JESSICA. JANE shows up at the house. It’s a VERY bad time.

Mama: The Abridged Script / The Editing Room.

This is especially good to read if you’ve made the mistake of reading about or watching a few too many Mama (2013) clips after dark and are kicking yourself because suddenly you’re not as sleepy as you were. Would have saved us some sleepless nights (just from watching the goddamned three+ minute short alone) if we’d gotten it sooner, but looks like writer Nicole wanted to wait till the DVD/Blu-ray came out.

On the second [REC 2], I had just a few scratches. I didn’t have a real hammer. When I have a real hammer, no one comes near me.

-Javier Botet, on swinging a hammer around in the dark on a movie set

We’re still having trouble digging up a more recent interview with the man behind the monster mother in “Mama” and the [REC] series, so until then, Shock Till You Drop put up a great one you can check out, written by Ryan Turek.

HOWEVER! If you haven’t seen [REC] and [REC 2], you really, really should see them and then read this. There’s not a ton of spoilers for REC 2, but… oh, just see them, unless you don’t like extremely frightening movies. Either way, just avoid Quarantine like, pardon the phrasing, the plague. We love Botet’s comments on the U.S. remake and agree 100% with everything he says– the same reasons Quarantine pissed us off. OK, you get the idea. To read the interview, click on the big red link below…

Exclusive Interview: Rec & Rec 2’s Javier Botet – Shock Till You Drop.

According to the interview, he was offered to reprise his role in the U.S. remake, though it would be “The Thin Infected Man” instead of “La Niña De Medieros”. The timing didn’t work out and the part went to Doug Jones instead. Talented as Jones is, no-one else could be as effective in the role …not even close. We saw Quarantine in the theater and watched [REC] at home on TV, in the daytime, and STILL had to open the curtains and turn the lights on halfway through. It’s not just Botet (though the movie would not be as memorable and nightmarish without him, and he’s a great, perfect show-stopper), the entire movie [REC] is fucking terrifying; by the time it roars to the end credits, you’ll probably be hugging your knees.

Enjoy the interview! The below is one of two BTS set photos we like to look at to lighten us up when we start to think about [REC] too close to bedtime…
