John Carpenter on Star on Walk of Fame, Love for Los Angeles and Making Music and If He'll Direct Again
And in the lead-up to receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 3, he’s positively effusive about is love for his adopted hometown of 57 years — which he’d much rather talk about than his movies — and seemingly at peace with his legacy. Within those genres, he’s explored romance (1984’s “Starman,” which earned Jeff Bridges an Oscar nomination for best actor), comedy (1986’s “Big Trouble in Little China”) and social commentary (1988’s “They Live”). For most, Carpenter’s legacy is defined by his third big screen directorial effort, 1978’s “ Halloween,” which spawned a franchise that’s proved harder to kill than Michael Myers, the white-masked slasher who is its focal point.
