*Entrevista a Erik Kripke & Robert Singer*

Esta entrevista que he encontrado a Erik Kripke (creador de la serie) y Robert Singer (productor ejecutivo) es un poco antigua, 25 de enero de este año, pero me ha parecido de lo más interesante.

Aviso que hablan bastante de la seguda y tercera temporadas, así que puede considerarse como spolier. Yo no la he leído entera por esa misma razón, pero he leídos cosas bastante interesantes.

Y pongo aquí un extracto que viene al tema del merchandising, especificamente, el comic.

.....................................................

["iF: Any SUPERNATURAL merchandising that we’ll be seeing?

KRIPKE: There’s a SUPERNATURAL comic book being published by DC and Wildstorm written by Peter Johnson, who is one of our co-executive producers. It’s not about the boys; we’ve worked very hard to make it not another craven piece of marketing, but something that fleshes out the universe of the show. Bob [Singer] and I are intimately involved so it feels like, for us, the un-produced episodes of the show. It’s the John Winchester story and it’s called SUPERNATURAL ORIGINS. It starts when mom is burnt on the ceiling, but instead of flashing forward twenty-two years, it stays with John Winchester and it details how he became a demon hunter and how he met characters like Missouri, and Ellen, and Bobby for the first time. It’s the story about a demon hunter with two children and how does he find the demon that killed his wife? So, it’s not about the boys at all, it just fills in the blanks in the boys’ childhood. We’re starting with a six-issue series, and if it sells well then the sky’s the limit. We have twenty-two years worth of stories to tell.

iF: This is pretty unique to find a comic that closely tied to a TV show, especially being written by the show’s writers.

SINGER: He’s involved in everything.
KRIPKE: For me a lot of the inspiration for the show came from comic books. I’m a huge fan of SANDMAN; I’m a huge fan of HELLBLAZER. The inspirations from those comics are all over the series. Anyone looking closely would say that character is inspired by the character of Death in SANDMAN or that character is inspired by John Constantine. When the opportunity came to do a comic, I didn’t want it to be crap I wanted it to be good, and this is coming full circle from where the inspiration started. We’ve been very; very involved to make sure that it is something that we can be as proud of as we are of the show."]
