Below
is the interview that I conducted with Michael Kaluta, through email.
My questions are in White while
his reposonses are in Grey.
Why
do you like the shadow?
I like that the character is smart.
What do you think of the 1994 shadow movie?
I didn't care for any of the Old Movies... too creaky, and they ignored
what the Shadow was about... it's strange to think on: all those Perfect
Pulps, and such stinky movies. The New Movie, if watched without the
Sound on, is a MUCH better movie than if watched WITH the sound on,
meaning it LOOKS good... the Producer and Director (and Writer) forgot
it was supposed to be about The Shadow. The 1994 Shadow Movie was about
Shiwan Kahn. HE got to do all the Cool Stuff. The Shadow slept, dropped
his guns a lot, tried to pick up a girl and couldn't, nearly drowned,
fell over some, etc... the only thing he shot with his guns was a block
of cement... That's Not My Shadow!!!
What would you like to see happen with the shadow legacy?
Anything, as long as it was honest to the stories and the Character
Do
you think the shadow will ever be popular again?
He still IS popular, no matter what.. He is in the public consciousness
forever.
If there was a new shadow movie what would you like to see in it
(actors, story, director, etc.)?
All I can say is, as long as the story takes place in the 20's-30's
or 40's and the producer/director/actors/designers believe in the material,
I'll be happy with what they do.
And finally would you ever want to be the artist
of a new shadow comic book series?
