Apart from Marc (Maron), who I was unfamiliar with at the time, I was a fan of everyone’s work at that point. Obviously DreamWorks have a pretty great casting department, but our cast lists were all pretty much aligned. Only in the sense that as an executive producer I could put together a list and throw it into the mix. We don’t want to give Tarantino any more reason to feel the burn, but, like his films, this is incredibly cast! Having seen the film they really all were so pitch perfect. Getting those elements together and making it click for it to become what this is took years. How could I take all this stuff that I love and funnel it into a simple theme. I just wanted to grab it and do something with it, but it was that impotent feeling of it being someone else’s movie. It had the same effect on me that Spielberg’s films did in the 1980’s. I saw it on its very first run and it just melted my brain. Quentin Tarantino’s ears are probably burning with the amount I have spoken about him (laughs), but there’s no denying how much impact Reservoir Dogs had on me when I saw it some 30-years ago. What were some of the films you drew inspiration from when writing the series? There’s obviously a few jokes for the adults, like the opening scene is Pulp Fiction, just animated. And one of the great things about The Bad Guys is that kids will see it and understand what’s going on.

It’s not a kids movie at all! But I think when you’re a kid you don’t see it that way. You watch that movie now and it’s horrific. One of my favourite films from my childhood is Batman Returns. It’s bonkers! I understand even Spielberg has reservations about it these days, thinking it was too dark, but there was stuff that always pushed boundaries, and it’s just finding that line.

I think of the movies I loved as a kid…I mean, I have a huge poster in my studio of The Temple of Doom, which is crazy! It’s effectively a kids film, but it’s full of all sorts of madness and child slavery. It was just those little micro-shifts that make such a difference, and it’s so much fun to play with that. Then Etan (Cohen, screenwriter) came up with “What do you mean you don’t like birthdays?”, and then all of a sudden you could have that same conversation that wasn’t too cutesy. They were discussing their last meal on Earth, and it was a concept that was a little too hard to get. The opening scene, for example, in the diner was beautifully written and really, really funny, but the conversation Wolf and Snake were having was just a little too adult. But my job as an (executive producer) was to be a guardian of tone, but if it felt like it was going too young I could say so. It’s hard enough spot to be in though as a single person, but to hand it over to a very big team and, as you said, not go too old and then panic and pull back and aim too young or too cute, it’s difficult to find that balance. It’s created a space for me to work in as a children’s author that feels very underpopulated. That balance is something I’ve dedicated my life to finding. How was it finding that balance? Especially for the film, because you want this to be enjoyed by audiences across the board. I was one of those kids that would watch animated films just as much as I would watch adult-aimed films, so I very much appreciated the fact that this film blends the elements of a children’s film with this crime movie mentality. They took predominantly elements of the first four books, but it’s a more compressed journey.
I knew they’d go somewhere cool and heisty and Soderberghy (laughs), so I just stepped back and was curious to see what they’d do. They had all the books that were published, and I just thought as long as they were faithful to the relationships (in the books) and the tone I didn’t really mind where they took the story. Given that you have written so many books, how did you decide on what particular story was going to be used for this film? Or did DreamWorks come to you with the idea? Talking at the Australian junket, Peter and Aaron, after the pleasantries of finally meeting in person, discussed where the idea originated from, the pitch perfect casting, and just how influential Quentin Tarantino has been on his books.

With The Bad Guys officially out in Australian cinemas now ( read our review here), Peter Gray spoke with Australia author Aaron Blabey (again), whose series of books the film is adapted from.
