HBO Tales from the Crypt director Tom Holland on finding Brad Pitt
If you were into horror in the late ’80s and early ’90s, you definitely remember Tales From the Crypt, HBO’s seminal horror anthology that boasted 93 episodes over seven years of pulp comics-inspired sordid tales, loosely tied together by a maniacal puppet Crypt Keeper emcee. But while many of those episodes may have come and gone, there’s likely at least one that stands out in the ol’ memory banks: “Four-Sided Triangle.”
Calling it a “perfect horror short,” SYFY WIRE’S FANGRRLS recently delved into why everyone remembers the Patricia Arquette-starring episode, but while making a sound argument that it managed to raise the creep factor of scarecrows while also giving agency to the female lead, they didn’t do it quite as succinctly as writer/director Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’s Play), who got right down to the bottom of its memorability when we spoke to him recently on the occasion of Fright Night’s 35 anniversary.
…
Though Holland thinks the episode is the “best” of the bunch, it wasn’t the only time he got lucky while directing a TFTC segment, although on “King of the Road” it was Brad Pitt doing the heavenly grinning.
“It’s not as effective as ‘Four-Sided Triangle’ is, but you could see a movie star booming. You could see the beginning of it. It’s in the smile,” Holland says.
The 1992 episode features young Pitt as bad boy Billy, a ulteriorly motivated hot-rodder with an affinity for blinking skulls, who comes to Sheriff Garrett’s (Raymond J. Barry) small town to ostensibly date his daughter (Michelle Bronson), stir up the lawman’s unlawful drag racing past, and then race him to the death.
Though Pitt had nabbed a few parts by then, Holland immediately saw much more potential.
“Here’s a story for you … I thought Brad Pitt was so terrific in that, and this is before he was Brad Pitt, and I went out and tried to get him an agent, and I couldn’t get him an agent!” Holland says. “It’s true. It’s true! Well, he smiled, [it’s] all he had to do … and when he smiled, I said, ‘Well that’s a movie star.’ And I said, ‘Light him as well as the girl.’ I mean, he was as beautiful as she was.”
Unity Temple: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Modern Masterpiece Film- Narrated by Brad Pitt
This project was a little bit like that in that you are telling the story of a “marvel” of engineering, or art or history but I was happy to take on an independent project wherein I would wear all the creative hats as well as manage the “nuts and bolts” of producing. I realized making this documentary had inherent challenges including the complexities of a historic restoration, the two year period of construction and the task of weaving in the story of America’s best known architect. I needed to balance my methodical producing mind set with my artistic side. The story began to take shape as I spent time on the site and observed and interviewed the talented and devoted restoration team. I really wanted to find a way to infuse a sense of Wright himself into the story so I was especially thrilled when Brad Pitt agreed to narrate specific quotes reflecting Wright’s creative approach. I think his readings give the film an authenticity that wouldn’t otherwise exist

Pitt Previews His New Limited Release Rosé Champagne
There’s a reason to celebrate at Miraval this week!
The French chateau, whose owners Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have produced award-winning rosés since 2012, has finally unveiled its next release — and PEOPLE has all the exclusive details and photos.
First announced in January, the limited release rosé Champagne, called Fleur de Miraval, will debut in U.S. markets on Oct. 15.
“For me,” Pitt explains to PEOPLE, “Champagne conjures up feelings of celebration, quality, prestige, and luxury. But rosé Champagne is still relatively unknown. Backed by our success with Miraval in Provence, I wanted us to try to create the defining brand of rosé Champagne, focusing all our efforts on just this one color.”
