The Lawnmower Man is an ambitious not-quite failure that almost dared King to sue from moment one, but is still worth a watch if you love aged computer graphics and shlocky cheese.

Brett Leonard (director and writer): Santa Cruz had a lot of people running around it, like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, and a guy named Jaron Lanier, who had actually coined the term virtual reality.” He introduced me to the technology very early, at this thing called the Cyberthon event: everyone stays up for 24 hours and checks out all the new ...
Brett Leonard:Sally and Patrick [casting directors] brought in numerous people to play the Pierce Brosnan role. They brought in Brad Dourif, who I loved from Cuckoo’s Nest.I was looking for a leading man. So Sally and Patrick said, “Look, there’s a guy — he just came off a television series; he actually was cast as Bond but then couldn’t do it beca...
Brett Leonard: Rolling up to the set, there were ten trucks there; the first scene was with Dr. Angelo. I drove up; I saw those trucks; I instantly put my head out the window and threw up my breakfast. Pierce was there and he was extremely nervous. Mark Bringelson: I remember the first day, sitting on the set, and I had a book — it was Brett Easton...
Brett Leonard: We were using these very advanced tools, but with companies that were emerging because it was not a big-budget film. Finding Xaos and Angel Studios was critical. Mark Malmberg (creative director, Xaos Inc): Brett came to Xaos and we were kind of a hot little company right then, and we were doing a lot of very artistic, organic work t...
Brett Leonard: Roscoe the chimp… we got a chimp that was at the edge of how old they can be to use them in a film. At a certain point, chimps become very belligerent, and they can bench-press 1600lbs. They can rip your arm off. Mary Jane Fort: We had two chimps, doubles in case one wasn’t interested in working on that particular day. They were fasc...
Brett Leonard: I thought a gyrosphere looked amazing, cinematically. It references The Vitruvian Man. Alex McDowell: I guess it was important to make a correlation between actor movement in real space and actor movement in virtual space — that’s why the gyrospheres are important narratively, although completely impractical because your subject woul...
Jimi Simmons: The director really sets the tone for everything. I remember we got off work one night, we were down in the basement, walking out through the parking garage, and he broke into some baritone aria from, I dunno, Les Miserablesor something. And I was just like, “Yeah, I like this guy.” Mark Malmberg: Most of our shots were executed in 3D...
Brett Leonard: One Sunday afternoon I get up and the phone rings. “Hey Brett; Steve King here! Stephen King! Stephen King! The author of Lawnmower Man!” Sweat starts pouring down my face. “Hi, Mr. King. How are you?” “Listen, I’m about to go watch your movie. I’m gonna call you right after and let you know what I think.” “…OK.” Wow. So that was the...
The movie is great, but it gained a reputation because Stephen King wanted his name taken off the film. The original story was really not all that special, about a guy who hires a lawn service and it turns out the lawnmower man was a simpleton who ate the grass.
Jan 14, 2014 · Directed by Brett Leonard, The Lawnmower Man came a full four years before Pierce Brosnan would strap on a Walther PPK for the role of James Bond, and his character here couldn’t be much more...
