So there you go. There you go. Weekend at Bernies was a huge hit here. I worked at the drive-in as a teenager and it was on for a couple of weeks there, it was every night Weekend at Bernies. I still remember the projectionist would come out and hed go Was it Terry Kiser that played Bernie? Terry Kiser right. Yeah, he would go, Terry, this guy deserves an academy award for his performance and he tells me every night For playing dead For playing the dead guy. He plays the dead guy better than anyone that Ive ever seen. Yeah. Exactly. He was brilliant. He did something very clever, he died with a little smirk on face. He made a dead man very lovable. Oh, thats for sure. What I always thought with that film was also Andrew McCarthy being cast as the goofball. Yeah. He sort of played against type. He did. He did. Do you guys still keep in touch? As a matter of fact I just did a movie with Andrew. Were not playing Were not having carrying around dead body or anything, but we did just do a movie the other call Its a National Lampoon comedy called Snatched. And it was the first time since the to sequel to Bernies that we worked together. We run into each other, we get together. Hes a big golfer, we play golf every now and then, but we havent work together since the sequel. But we had a terrific time. Its a very funny movie about a man who goes to donate a kidney to his ill brother-in-law and they make a mistake at the hospital. And they replace and cut-off the wrong organ instead of simply taking on the mans kidney they gave him a sex change. [chuckle] Of course. Andrew plays the man who undergoes the surgery and he spends the rest of the movie trying to get his manhood back. I know its very far-fetched but a very, very funny film that Ive made coming out within the year as well. Did it give you and Andrew a chance to talk about Bernies? Oh, we sure did. Its how shocked we were at how It still holds up to the day how people still enjoy watching it and still talk about it. And what was bizarre was we shot this new movie in New Orleans which is one of my favourite cities in the world. But theres a particular section, the French Quarter, where people are enjoying themselves to great deal of music and carrying on and rabble rousing and drinking. And I remember one night Andrew and I went to dinner after filming and we just walked from point A to point B but we have to cross the famous Bourbon Street to get there. And here Andrew and I are walking and all this inebriated people are staring at us saying, Oh my God. Wheres the dead guy!?. They probably thought they were in some sort of alcohol induced coma. Wow. [chuckle] Was there ever any talk of a third movie? Theres been lots of talk about A matter of fact I remember reading it on your site every now and then, every couple of years it pops up. Yeah it does. I come from a school of one was enough. And I think we should have been grateful that we made one and people enjoyed it and let it go. When they finally got around the shooting the second one And I became very close friends with a lot of the people from the first one the film-makers Victor Drai, Robert Klane, and Ted Kotcheff and they had been taking about making a sequel. It did very well overseas and some Italian financiers wanted to make a second one and Im like, Guys, really? What are we supposed to do? Its about a dead body. [chuckle] What are we possibly going to explore? And I procrastinated as long as I could and they said, Listen, were shooting this movie. Andrew has jumped on. Terry Kiser has jumped on. Were going to shoot it with or without you. Do you want to just go ahead and make this movie and have a good time with us and make some money or do you want to spend the next chunk of years explaining to people why you werent in the sequel? So we went ahead and we shot the sequel and we had a great time. It certainly wasnt near as funny, the final product, as the original as I think a few sequels are. But I sure hope they just leave it at that. Theres some talk of making a third, but well see. I can easily be tempted at whatever does come around but I hope they dont bother to. http://www.moviehole.net/201139260-clint-chats-to-the-legendary-jonathan-silverman
