Stuart Gordon Interview regarding 'Stuck'

Cinefantastique Online has an interview with Stuart Gordon, discusssing this film and NBC's FEAR ITSELF.

[quote]The first half of the movie is pretty accurate, in terms of following the real events: The woman did hit this guy while she was high on ecstasy; she did work in a nursing home; she did put him in her garage and immediately have sex with her boyfriend; and then she did keep coming to see if he was still alive and to talk with him and apologize to him. That much is all true. In the true story, the man ended up bleeding to death on the windshield, and they buried him in a shallow grave and burned the car. It seemed like they were going to get away with it until she started bragging about it at a party. She’s now serving a fifty year sentence.

In working on the script, Don Strysik and I stayed fairly close to the original story for several drafts, then Don said, “What would happen if this guy realizes that she’s not going to help him, and then he tries to get away?” That was where our imaginations kind of took off.[quote]
