John Cusack
OF ‘UTOPIA’ ON AMAZON
This series obviously takes on new
relevance in the COVID era. Was working
on this and then living through the
pandemic and continuing to live through it
weird?
Yeah, it was. I mean, when we started it, the
pandemic wasn’t happening. But the themes of
this kind of fantastic gang of people who are
obsessed with utopia, who know that within
utopia lies kind of a roadmap or a secret to a
dystopic or apocalyptic future. That included
viruses, it included famine, it included perhaps a
nuclear accident. So, the theme itself covered a lot
of that but it was kind of disturbing and surreal
to see it come so close to life, I guess, with the
pandemic.
Have you been a comic fan? Have you had
any experiences at Comic-Con-type events?
I had a really good experience ... . I’d never been
to one and then I made a couple of horror movies
that people liked. So, they said, “Yeah, you’ve got
to come to this Comic-Con.” And I went there and
the thing that you get, like, when you do a panel
or if people are doing Q&As after a movie, in Hollywood sometimes people are a little bit too cool
for school or whatever. But these people were so into the movies, and they asked such informed,
detailed questions. And they knew everything about the film. And they were like, “Why did you do
this thing here? And in the third act the character did this; did you know what you were doing?” I
mean, they were just so into it that it sort of made you fall in love with the moviemaking again, too.
Because I was very surprised; the Comic-Con people were, like – it’s a very cool, little, weird
culture. You know, it’s like people who want it to be Halloween every weekend. They just want to
dress up and fly their freak flag and just they love what they love and they’re into their movies.
