Human Centipede director talks sequel plans and why his film is really about World War II
The BBC has a rather fascinating interview with director Tom Six, ass-to-mouth architect of The Human Centipede (First Sequence), in which he offers many insights into how this year’s most blogged-about horror film came to be and talks some about its upcoming sequel. (It wasn’t subtitled (First Sequence) for nothing.) Here are some of the more salient points in bite-size form, so you can easily digest them and pass them along to your neighbor.
– Six got his start as one of the original directors of the Netherlands’ Big Brother, so he already had experience with shoving strangers together and forcing them to swallow each other’s shit.
– During the audition process in New York—which attracted “a lot of beautiful girls”—Six showed these ingénues a drawing he’d made of the human centipede construction. “So many became very angry with me,” Six says.
