Coinciding with the release of 'Brahms: The Boy II' (TheBoyMovie), director William Brent Bell (WmBrentBell) speaks about bringing back the life-size doll, his enduring love of the horror genre and those Jared Kushner memes that pushed the sequel forward
"We get a little more freedom sometimes [in the horror genre] to experiment and play around with the story and characters," Bell says, articulating his love of making scary movies. He later summons a popular Stephen King quote: 'We create horrors to help us cope with the real ones,'" thoughIn, the horror is, again, Brahms himself; a well-dressed shadow of a child, and a troubled boy, depending on how you look at it.
With the help of the film's star, Katie Holmes — who was the first and only actor approached for the role of a mother whose young son befriends Brahms — the gears moved forward on the sequel after people on the internet started usingto compare Brahms to Jared Kushner. "That's when Lakeshore called me and said, you know, 'this is really taking on a life of its own now in the zeitgeist of pop culture.
"The story itself is about a family and the trauma they've gone through," continues Bell. "They've moved to get away from the city. In a way, the story is more grounded than the first, which was a bit Gothic and dreamlike to me. But on the flip side, we're playing around with the supernatural elements as well." Of Menear, Bell says that he really has a "voice" for this type of material.
