ZenWeasel Films recently had the opportunity to sit down with Vito Trabucco, one of the five directors from the upcoming classic anthology film Slices, for an interview.
ZenWeasel: Can you tell us about your segment The Exterminator came about?
Vito: The first script idea was very different from what you see now. It originally revolved around a slave, back in the 1800's, who encountered an escaped convict with a time portal. After several rewrites, which took budget and locations into consideration, the story evolved into the dystopian near-future in which The Exterminator and pals now operate.
ZenWeasel: How does The Exterminator fit in with the other segments in Slices?
Vito: Blood? (laughs) I mean, it's horror/sci-fi so it fits genre-wise. It's different enough from the rest of the segments to stand alone as its own story, but at the same time it's actually a fairly straight forward horror and torture film that really works.
ZenWeasel: How did Chuck Williams become involved with your film project?
Vito: A special effects acquaintance of ours knew Chuck Williams, and had mentioned the Slices
ZenWeasel: And you've worked with Kevin Bangos before?
Vito: Yes, I've known Kevin from the Florida days. I remember one film he was in, playing the Sheriff's deputy. He was the perfect "yes man", complete with a weasely voice. He was an obvious choice for the snivelling bureaucratic assistant to Chuck. I had him in mind before I even started casting around.
