Sharon BollenPanelistOkay, so Clayface, I didn't know much about him from the comic universe, but I was aware of him.
So basically you've got this really, really nice looking actor who's up for Oscars, up for everything else and that, and he's ready to go.
And then he goes to a party and there's this girl that he quite fancies and he ends up spending the night with this girl and this girl happens to be the gangsters you know the gangsters of the city the ruler of the city's mob underworld girl so this
has to be gotham it has to be gotham yeah
so they chop they chop his face off and of course he becomes and then all the all the press start saying oh yeah he's this that and the other and all these people come and so and then this this scientist comes up with it with the you know an idea for a drug which has been using nano probes and
stuff and so he goes there
book sciencey stuff yeah
and and it becomes it becomes um yeah it works terrifically well for the wow and then he sort of uh starts to try and get back into society but then it's sort of things happen and he changes his face sort of melts sort of thing.
And as the film goes on, he becomes able to become more and more, and when he can use it, when he uses it, he becomes more and more able to use this power for, and then it just becomes a bit of a revenge thing.
so it's essentially right so anybody who doesn't know who clayface is clayface is essentially he is usually a batman villain but he's he's a little bit more than a villain he's usually kind of like a tragic character in the comics and he is essentially well like i think that they have they've they've upped his success a little bit more in this film because usually he's almost kind of like a theater amateur actor if you see the tv show harley quinn they have a very comedic version of clayface in that who's always walking around and trying to quote shakespeare darling But he becomes, it becomes like a sort of like, essentially like a plasticine man.
And he can sort of like, sometimes he can take on different shapes and everything like that.
But usually he's just kind of like a moving blob of mud kind of thing.
And Mike Flanagan, everybody knows, well, you know him mostly for adapting a whole bunch of Stephen King things for TV.
And apparently they said it was such a good story.
It's such a good take that they decided to make the film.
They hadn't planned to make the film, but they said purely on the script alone, they decided to make this film.
It is an 18.
Yeah, I would imagine it's like, but the question is, Sean, is did they succeed in making, was it worth it on the strength of Mike Flanagan's script? Was it worth it making this film?
