Finnish Wolfard was inspired by the unlikely comedy films of the movie “Exclusive”

People, I will be the brave person enough to say that: 2025 was not completely great yet. I will not go into all reasons behind this (Have you recently examined 401K?), But even narrowing the hole to the world of films only, things were very difficult. Most of the big studio films were disappointments, and the box office was struggling strongly Even “Minecraft” came. There were some prominent points – I loved “Walis Island Song”, “ For example, I truly enjoyed Stephen Soderberg’s “existence” and “black bag”-but the first few months of the year were not full of uncomfortable grafters.

Due to the rough road lovers currently suffering, I felt a concrete feeling when I saw the horror/new comedy “Hello of a Summer”. It is not the type of movie that will save the box office, but it is just a new and funny experience in a story that is really concerned with its characters and feels that it was made by people who creatively invested in what they were making instead of just examining the boxes to satisfy the shareholders.

One of these directors is Finn, Wolfard, whom you may know best in the name of “Stranger Things”. Wolverdard and “Hell of A Summer” wrote alongside Billy Brake’s story, and the two play consultants in the camp who fight for their lives when a mysterious masked fighter begins choosing advisers in the week that had previously arrived. The film coincides with the first appearance of Wolfhard and Bryk, and recently spoke with Wolfhard about the type of films that inspired them when they were trying to make “Hello of a Summer”. He cited Edgar Wright “Sean of the Mit”, who appeared several times during the press tour as a northern star because of the way he focuses on her characters instead of just passing the gender movie movements, but there were two other films he was martyred.

Wolfard told me: “It is difficult not to talk only about Spielberg all the time, so the ability to framing the shots, there was definitely a lot of inspiration that was taken from it in some scenes and the way in which some things were launched.” “But I remember, there is a fighting scene in the movie that happens, this type of the large movement sequence, and we took inspiration from the fighting scene in” Arizona Raising “and the fighting scene in” Annas Express “, also – two films that there are no horror films, but we succeeded in narrating, as there were many films.

The effect of Spielberg is not surprising – there is a clarity of the vision here seems to be returned to the beard – but the other two films are almost unclean. I would like to claim that there is nothing Index and Manus as a “quick pineapple” fighting scene In “Hell of a Summer”, but after reconsidering this clip and this The fighting scene from “Arizona Raising”, “ I can completely see why Wolfhard and Bryk looked at these films as examples of what they want to accomplish. There is the ingenuity of these battles that make them feel more realistic than the forms of typical model films, and the privacy of people who cancel their fingers on the ceiling or destroy their heads in porcelain toilets makes the audience increase and feel the characters instead of being their eyes on the ceiling where no one can associate with anyone.
