Imagine

Ah, Minions... you weirdos...

The event at the Imagine Festival in London went very well, as I thought it would. It was the second time I was on stage talking about the movies that had influenced the books— the first time was last year, at the Mountains to the Sea Festival in Dublin.

The place was packed out and the response was fantastic. Afterwards I signed for about three hours, seeing a lot of familiar (worryingly familiar) faces in the queue... It was all so much fun, and I want to thank everyone who turned up.

For those of you who couldn't make it, here are the trailers we showed... and here are the trailers— because of age restrictions— we COULDN'T show...


Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The whole Indiana Jones series has been a huge inspiration to me (except perhaps the fourth film.. ahem...) in terms of sheer fun and adventure and character. Jones is a perfect hero because, bizarrely, he rarely succeeds... Look at the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and count how many times he messes up. He loses the idol, he loses Marian, he loses the Ark, he loses Marian (again), his bluff is called, he's captured... The guy never wins. But he NEVER gives up. And that's what makes him a hero.

I said none of this to Steven Spielberg when I met him, of course. I just started grinning.

But for the first book, this is exactly the kind of vibe I was going for. Fun, fantastic, and faintly frightening.

Another film that influenced the first book, and the series as a whole, is this one...


Big Trouble in Little China was a film that confused the hell out of me when I first saw it as a kid. I saw Kurt Russell and thought, okay, here we have the big strong American hero who has all the tough guy lines... and then he proceeds to bumble his way through the entire film. This is a guy who fights the bad guys at the end, totally unaware that he has lipstick smeared over his mouth.

It was only when I saw it again, years later, that I got the joke and I realised just how fantastic this film really is.

Playing With Fire is my monster movie. The Grotesquery, made up of parts of so many other creatures, is my Frankenstein's monster.


Every Saturday night I'd stay up after my folks had gone to bed, and I'd watch the old black and white Universal horrors, all the stuff from RKO... I don't know why I loved horror movies from such a young age, don't know what it was about me that responded so well, but I ABSORBED these things.


The Faceless Ones, I always say, is my whodunnit- it's my mystery book. Batu, after all, is the man behind the scenes, pulling all the strings. But this is also the first time we see the Faceless Ones themselves, which were inspired by the Cthulu stories by HP Lovecraft. The wonderful Hellboy comic is inspired by Lovecraft also, as you can see in the trailer for the movie adaptation...


(Oh, and also? Hellboy 2? They KIND of stole something from Skulduggery. Check out the poster and see if anything seems... familiar...)


(Ahem. Moving on...)

Dark Days is my revenge flick. You can't beat a good revenge flick, you really can't, and I jammed so much into this book. We have Tanith torture, we have Moloch and his vampires, we have Scapegrace becoming a zombie, we have the first real mention of Darquesse (even though she'd been in my plans from the very start) and we have the chapter entitled "Mid-Afternoon of the Dead".

Now, I could show the trailer to Night of the Living Dead, or Dawn of the Dead, or Day of the Dead, or the first two Evil Dead movies... but instead I'll show the trailer to Army of Darkness, the third Evil Dead film by Sam Raimi, and one of my favourite movies of all time...


Mortal Coil is my Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. It's my The Thing. It's the book where the Remnants run wild, and you can't trust the people you know, because they may not be the people you know anymore... Behold the glory of the hairstyles of the 1970s, and one of the most terrifying films I'd ever seen...


The Thing is the second John Carpenter/Kurt Russell film on my list, and it's here because it deserves to be. A masterclass in tension. If you're old enough, watch it... and watch it ALONE.


And in the chapter "By The Sword", we get one of my many nods to wonderful movies such as The Princess Bride. This one is pretty blatant. See if you can spot it in the middle of this, one of the greatest sword fights ever put onto celluloid...


Death Bringer is my superhero story. Between this and KOTW, the whole secret identity thing really starts to become a major issue, and this is the first book where we have a fight between two people who are powerful enough to punch each other through buildings... just like in Superman 2...


And this is also the book where Val gets attacked by that guy in her house. For me, this is the book where I switched from "realistic martial arts" to "realistic fighting", both in my writing and my own training. Take a look at my darling Gina Carano in Haywire...


And now we arrive at Kingdom of the Wicked, my science fiction story, where we have unsuspecting teenagers suddenly gifted with amazing powers, and we watch as it corrupts them. For this, Akira was a huge influence.


And it was also an influence on Chronicle, the trailer we showed at the festival. I THOROUGHLY recommend this movie.


And because it was science fiction, I felt completely justified in slipping in a nod to a certain Doctor...


We ALSO have a werewolf scene, which I did my best to link to the transformation in An American Werewolf in London. I'm not going to show that clip here, because it contains some brief nudity, but if one or two of you were to search for it, you would find that changing into a werewolf is a lot more painful than it appears in Twilight...

And SPEAKING of Twilight, how could I forget the debt I owe it for certain aspects of Death Bringer? So here we are, the trailer. Oh, be warned- one case of swearing at the very beginning.


And to top it all off, a massive influence on my writing...



And now I'm going to watch Ronda Rousey defend her UFC title against Liz Carmouche, in the FIRST women's event the UFC has ever held. In Ronda's own words, it is on like Donkey Kong...

OH GOD, I FORGOT MY PICTURE.


DAMMIT.



Anyway, I laughed at the fact that you put Twilight up there.

DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOO! I LOVE THAT SCENE!



AND BUFFY! Buffy makes me want to write. Really badly. But if I write, I can't watch the screen, so...



ALSO, YOU REALLY NEED TO POST YOUR TOUR DATES AND YOU REALLY NEED TO EMAIL ME.

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Princess Bride scene is amazing.

Robin Snowscar said...

Hai

Robin Snowscar said...

That honest trailer... I am wetting myself.

Niamhy Jay said...

THAT IS A LONG POST WITH A LOT OF TRAILERS!!!

Niamhy Jay said...

YOU SAID YOU WOULD ANNOUNCE IT THIS MONTH!!!

Niamhy Jay said...

And lastly,

HI EVERYONE!!

Star Inkbright said...

Dunno what number I am, but I always read the post before commenting, and I never notice the post first, so this is very high up for me! :)

Star Inkbright said...

HI NJ!!!!

Niamhy Jay said...

Hey Star!!

Been a while! How're you?!

*hugs*

Star Inkbright said...

Has been a while! :(

I'm . . . *considors* I'm meh, I suppose. :)

Niamhy Jay said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Star Inkbright said...

Oh, so Inkyness got twelf comment?

Twelf like an elf.

I have mind blanks like this sometimes. *shrugs*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

It's twelveth, Star...

Star Inkbright said...

@Ivy: *laughs*

NJ: -_- Nearly everyone stops coming on coz school work. I'm dreading the day it's me . . .

Robin Snowscar said...

Gotta go bai

Star Inkbright said...

No, it's twelth. I think. Yeah, twelth.

When I write the comment it has this odd font, so I can't tell my mistakes as easy. When I posted the comment and looked at it in a better font, I remembered how to spell it and I knew for defin. twelf looked wrong.

However, the remembering how to spell it was probably just a concidence . . .

My brain remembers and forgets the oddest things.

Niamhy Jay said...

GCSE's suck.
They make me want to punch a wall until I break my hand so I have a legitimate reason for not being able to do the work... :P

Niamhy Jay said...

Bye Robin!!

Star Inkbright said...

*smiles*

FOURS, ROBIN! :(

Star Inkbright said...

GCSEs should be eaten by Ieniness . . .

Niamhy Jay said...

They bore the hell out of me. I wish I was in primary school again

Luciana said...

These blogposts are my favourites.

And the way each book has a different... Theme? Oh Golden God, it's genius. It's yet another thing I adore about the Skulduggery books - not one other series is quite this amazing. I love it. :)

Niamhy Jay said...

May I just say, Derek, your taste in movies is G L O R I O U S.
It makes me curious as to what games you like, too. And if you read manga/watch anime... I mean, you mistook my character for L in London, so I guess that means you read/watch Death Note..? :D

Niamhy Jay said...

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I'm stuck wearing a skirt today because my jeans are in the wash, and my mum pointed out the fact that my legs are so pale they're whiter than the carpet. Which is basically white.

AND THUS, MY CHARACTER IVY'S SKIN COLOUR MAKES SENSE.

Star Inkbright said...

No word of Derek, Zaffles.

Sorry, I'm not being very social and communitive and hyper. I'm all flat. :)

All you new people should meet me on better days. *nods*

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

Every time I refresh the page I start laughing at picture on the top. It's hilarious.

Unknown said...

better days?

*tilts heads, looks confused*

Star Inkbright said...

I don't have skirts, apart from school skirts.

I'm so odd. Out of school, I refuse to wear skirts and just wear trousers. In school, I refuse to wear trousers and just wear skirts. :)

I wouldn't mind making a lyrics playlist for Nine Inch Nails. *frowns thoughtfully*

Luciana said...

WAIT

DEREK KNOWS WHO L IS

OMG

Derek just got a million times more perfect
If that's even possible

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

*hugs NJ*

It actually took me ovef an hour to load into Bloglad due to Derek so kindly putting WAY too many videos for my ipod to handle

Star Inkbright said...

*shrugs* Mostly, I'm more happy and insane and ME. I've got better as the conversation has gone on, but I was just being all plain and full-stoppy and I was like, oh dear, not good first impression. XD

Valkyrie V. - Ivy said...

I hate skirts, but I have them for emergencies. Like when I'm out of trousers.

Niamhy Jay said...

Aww Zaffy

I may have mentioned this before, but I love Disturbed.

The tremor in my hand is still here.

They said it would have disappeared by now...

Hmm...

Zanida Laufeydottir Queen of Asgard (Zafira Kerias) said...

Thiugh I hoped to speak to Derek

I should be a little better in ten/twenty minutes. At least my headache will go away, and possibly the tremor... *decides to eat sugary foods*

Unknown said...

Hey Derek, you still have that picture of Skul in a bikini, right? :D You didn't just burn it as soon as I left, did you? Eheheh

The one I remember was when I read what you wrote when he switches hands during sword fighting. I knew that was from The Princess Bride straight away, years ago! I love that film.

Also love Big Trouble in Little China. I remember seeing the trailer for it when I was a kid and I couldn't wait for the film to come out.

You have great taste in movies, Mr Landy.

NOM Ominous said...

Hi, Willow!
I got the Princess Bride reference but I wasn't exactly sure if it was from Princess Bride, because I only ever saw a few parts of it.
Also because I wasn't sure if you'd reference something with Princess int he beginning, but you would. *slaps own face*

Willow Von Stratton said...

I'm lost at what you're talking about, but then again, i'm doing three things at once :p

the second paragraph was addressing the princes bride reference. I wish there was a shorter way of saying that. There is, I just don't remember it. Crediting? All other possible words are mangling in my mind.
