'THEY LIVE' Star Would Love To Work On A Sequel To The Film With John Carpenter!

 

John Carpenter is probably thee most influential directors in Horror for us personally. Films like ‘The Thing’ and ‘Halloween’ are staples in every horror fans home and one film that has been resonating as of late due to today’s political climate is ‘They Live.’

One star from that particular film would love another crack at the story along with Carpenter of course. Keith David!

When asked by ComicBook.com about a filmmaker he'd most like to work with again, David confirmed, "I loved working with John Carpenter. And it's not really ... it's more sort of sci-fi than horror, necessarily. But I would love ... even playing one of the creatures. I mean, getting to play one of the creatures, like from They Live, where you pull the mask off. I don't know if it was The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits, with an episode like that, where you pulled the head back, and all of a sudden, it was like an exposed skeleton head. It was like, oh, my God."

When asked about the possibility of a sequel or remake of ‘They Live’, David had this to say: "Well, I can be leery about remakes, but it all depends on what you do with it," the actor admitted. "There have been some reinventions that have been quite wonderful. Not all of them are, but I think that when filmmakers maintain the integrity of the original, and not try to make it something so vastly different. If, in fact, you're going to do a remake, then you have to honor the integrity of the original. And when that happens, some wonderful stuff happens. You get new energy, you get new actors. But again, it's the story that's the star."

David later jokes about coming back in a sequel as an alien himself since his character’s death is never explicitly seen on camera. "Hey, man, from your lips to God's ears," while adding, "I would be there in a New York heartbeat."
