io9: "This movie makes us think about Eighties fantasy flicks like Willow and Beastmaster, Labyrinth, Dark Crystal — did you revisit a lot of these films?"

I revisited Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Victorian fairy painters who had been locked up in mental institutions. I revisited the Grimm’s fairy tales and a lot of the other Hans Christian Andersen tales. And just tried to immerse myself in the real fairy tales. “Black fantasy” is very different from “black fairy tales.” Fantasy films are here and fairy tales are here. There’s definitely a very thin dividing line. But a fairy tale film is very different, to me, from a fantasy film."
