![]() ![]() The origin of the story is that about over a little over a decade ago, I started reading about Howard Hughes and his later years at the Desert Inn. When you say unique, it’s a vampire action-hunter film with this technological spin. I like the unfiltered, right-away responses because it’s such a unique film. So, how recently did you watch the cut? Because I’ve noticed it’s really fun to talk to people right after they’ve seen it because it’s such a weird experience. Hopefully, you get a well-deserved vacation soon. Then, I have these two movies that just came out, so it’s been a pretty wild ride for the last three months, and doesn’t seem like it’s ending yet. ![]() A few months ago, I started prepping for a movie I’m about to shoot now. We finished locking the cut of a film that comes out next year. Have you had a moment to catch your breath? Note: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.ĭigital Trends: It’s been a busy couple of months for you with Dig and Slayers. Kara Hayward as Flynn Chambers and Thomas Jane as Elliot Jones in the comedy/action/horror, SLAYERS, The Avenue release. In an interview with Digital Trends, Levin speaks about the origin of Slayers, the inspiration behind Elliot Jones, and his burgeoning collaboration with Jane. Framed as a vampire movie, Slayers is also a unique takedown of the media and its capitalistic principles. Forced to team up with Flynn (Kara Hayward), a gamer on the team, Jones conducts the hunt of a lifetime inside the house to avenge his daughter. When the team is invited to a billionaire’s estate, they quickly learn the compound is a breeding ground for vampires. ![]() Enter “The Stream Team,” a group of clout-chasing social media superstars who lack self-awareness and humility. After years of hunting, Jones has found those responsible for his daughter’s death, but needs help infiltrating their layer. Written and directed by Levin, Slayers follows Elliot Jones (Thomas Jane), a vampire hunter whose sole mission is to hunt down the creatures who killed his daughter. Nevertheless, Levin is a student of the game, and Slayers is his attempt to inspire a new generation of genre fans. For the record, it’s hard to disagree with Levin’s point about how Martin Scorsese is the greatest genre filmmaker of all time. What started as a conversation to promote Slayers quickly turned into a discussion about genre filmmaking and the legendary filmmakers of the1970s. Asher Levin is first and foremost a fan of cinema. ![]()
