BGG AFTER DARK: We spoke to Jared about the film and he agreed that you should be a fan of horror/thriller movies if you’re going to make one. What’s your perspective as an actor? Should you be a fan of these types of movies if you’re going to act in one?
DEMETRIUS STEAR: I agree. I think he is right on. I’m a believer that you have to have passion in anything you do in order to truly make it great. I’m a big fan of horror/thriller movies. I love suspense. Growing up, some of my favorite horror films are Lost Boys, Alien, Scream, Fright Night, Halloween, Prince of Darkness, and Demons, to name a few. I would watch them over and over. I still watch them (laughter).
BGG AFTER DARK: Do you have a favorite film in this genre?
DEMETRIUS STEAR: I would have to say John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness. Because it is such a well made film, it continues to hold weight even now. And, it still gives me chills every time I watch it. The Alice Cooper character is very creepy.
BGG AFTER DARK: Buddy Hutchins has a really Falling Down vibe to it. Was it pitched to you like that?
DEMETRIUS STEAR: It definitely does. I was always a big fan of Falling Down! Jared hooked me with it right off the bat when he said it has a Falling Down vibe to it. Once I read the script I can see the similarity and that got me very excited about the project. BGG AFTER DARK: Being an independent production, I take it someone on the film must’ve known Jamie Kennedy in order to get him involved. Who was that?
DEMETRIUS STEAR: Jared put all of that together.
BGG AFTER DARK: What do you think the chances of a Buddy Hutchins 2, are?
DEMETRIUS STEAR: You just never know in this business. I think it would be cool if a few years down the road Buddy comes back to finish the job on Don. It also means I could reprise my role as Ryan so I would be happy about that. Maybe you might see a darker side to Ryan!
BGG AFTER DARK: Can you tell us what you have in the works?
