The Duke Talks To Don Mancini - Director Of "Seed Of Chucky"
Published January 15, 2005
TD: When you settle down in the Mancini home of an evening, what flicks tend to get you all enraptured?
DM: I like a lot of different kinds of movies, though my tastes tend to run toward stuff that's "bigger-than-life" — horror, thrillers, adventure, stylized comedy, animation (I'm a huge "Simpsons" fan). My favorite recent movies are "Kill Bill" (I and II), "The Aviator," "The Incredibles," "The Bourne Supremacy," "Shrek 2," and "The Manchurian Candidate." My favorite directors: De Palma; Spielberg; Fincher; Burton; Jackson; Ridley Scott; Shyamalan (I thought "The Village" was over-maligned).
And with that, barring a question he already answered, he's gone, like in that flick with Kevin Spacey about Gabriel Byrne has killed everyone, but no, wait, it wasn't him after all, or maybe it was, but it doesn't matter cause he turns out to be Satan and then Arnold Schwarzenegger drinks some booze and shoots him fuckless with an Uzi 9-mm.
So what can we learn from all this right here? Probably that Don Mancini is the coolest fella a man could ever hope to interrogate ever even once. That no-one but The Duke shares The Duke's love of Cellar Dweller. That not only is Seed Of Chucky a work of glorious wonder, but also, it wasn't a fluke, it turns out. And, most of all, that when it boils down to it, Kirsten Dunst only hangs around with that Darko motherfucker cause he claims to know The Duke.
Not one hair does he know, is the harrowing truth of the matter.
Thanks folks.
The Duke (Aaron McMullan to his parents and the clergy) is a Northern Irish writer, performer and insomniac currently residing in London. He is the creator of Mondo Irlando, wherein his scribblings and hollerings can be found. He is currently working towards the completion of his first novel, and his debut "punk / country / folk / whatever" album has recently been released by Ex Libris Records . You can also pop by His MySpace Page and maybe have a coffee and a biscuit.

Jim, i'm glad you were inspired, and i wager the flick itself will inspire you just as much, although in the case of the celluloid, i'll have to hand over at least 82% of the credit for said inspiration.

I loved all the Chucky films. "Seed was kinda like watching another installment of "Scary movie", don't ya think? It was funny though. Ya should see my freakin' room. I have Chucky shit every where!! Plus I wrote a screen play for the next Chucky movie. I'd tell ya'll what I call it, but I need to see if I can get ahold of Mancini before I do. Just incase some one magically decides to take the idea. I am telling you, any Chucky lover is gonna love my Child's Play 6 installment. TELL Mancini about me please!All the Child's play films totally rocked!!! Hey Duke do you think Mancini would ever read my screenplay??? O yeah and KICK ASS SITE!!! ROX BIG TIME!!!

I was so inspired by your interview, I downloaded the movie. Now I just have to watch it.
Brad Dourif is your mark of quality for really bad things happening (even when he is playing a decent guy as the doctor in "Deadwood").
