We chat with TheInfernalMachine writer & director Andrew Hunt about what inspired his psychological thriller, working with Guy Pearce, and much more:
Writer and director Andrew Hunt's The Infernal Machine stars Guy Pearce, Alex Pettyfer, Alice Eve, and Jeremy Davies in a gripping psychological narrative. Pearce's character, Bruce Cogburn, is an author who wrote a book titled "The Infernal Machine," which inspired Dwight Tufford to commit a mass shooting.
The other inspiration I have is — one of my favorite thematics is creation, and Frankenstein is like the greatest story ever written in my mind. I really wanted to play off of that. So, when you're thinking of reclusive authors, you tend to think of J.D. Salinger, you think of the book that he wrote, Catcher in the Rye, and the mythology behind Catcher in the Rye.
As a writer, what was your strategy for depicting Bruce’s confusion and paranoia from receiving these letters while also foreshadowing the reveals toward the end of the film? Andrew Hunt: We almost looked at the moment, Elijah's self emulation, is that Bruce is suffering from PTSD. This is a reoccurring thing, and I think the reason that the flashbacks become stronger and more prevalent throughout the film is the fact that this Dukent, this person that's writing him these letters is opening up Pandora's box. This has been memories that Bruce has had boxed up and buried for maybe 15-20 years.
I tend to like to make films where the audience gets to participate in the film. I'm probably one of the only guys on the planet that actually rooted for the teacher in Whiplash. At the end of Whiplash, it's a great ending for both of them. They both found what they were looking for. I look at the character of Bruce Cogburn as the next 20 years of his life is going to be probably absolute hell, but I think he's going to be free.
