‘Heart Eyes’ Director Breaks Down the Gore and Sequel Ideas; Could the Slasher Attack ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Love Actually’ Next?
"Heart Eyes" is a fascinating blend of films, mixing a rom-com with a slasher, with a pinch of broad laughs.
And yet there is the hysterical comedic flourishes of Bill Pullman’s stuffy nose and Tom Hanks’ girlfriend, who he dates for a short time with that obnoxious cackle. I’ll put it this way: You could replicate the structure of any great rom-com, from “His Girl Friday” to “Defending Your Life,” and you could drop Heart Eyes into the center of that story, and have him flash and slash about. That’s what’s exciting about this: There’s an opportunity that we could have whoever the filmmaker was — certainly, I’d be interested — genuinely trying to create or replicate that rom-com, or the feeling of a “ Bridget Jones ” or “ Love Actually ” or what have you, but actually have those people terrified by this psychopathic killer.
