Premiering Prime Video New Christmas movie starting on December 1st’Candy Cane Lane,’ which stars Eddie Murphy (‘commercial area””Beverly Hills Cop‘) and conducted Reginald Hudlin (‘boomerang‘).
Moviephone Recently had the pleasure of speaking with director Reginald Hudlin about his work on ‘Candy Cane Lane’, his first reaction to the script, reuniting with Eddie Murphy and if his process has changed at all since ‘Boomerang’, the challenges of mixing live- Action with VFX and animation, making a Christmas movie and a must watch if he is ready to be a holiday for the film.
Moviephone: To begin with, what was your first reaction to Kelly Younger’s screenplay, and can you also talk about the challenges of making a Christmas movie?
Reginald Hudlin: When I first read Kelly Younger’s script, I loved it. My only real note was, as crazy as it is, we can’t go far enough. So, I said, “Let’s make it crazier.” We had a great time. Whenever you make a Christmas movie, there are certain expectations, right? So, you have to have great Christmas music, you have to have an emotional impact on people and you have to have amazing decorations. So, I down, if not triple down all that stuff. Then we added elements that you wouldn’t normally see in a Christmas movie so people would go, “Oh, I’ve never seen anything like that before.” So, have your cake and eat it too.
MF: What was it like reuniting with Eddie Murphy, what does he bring to a role like this and has his process as an actor changed at all since you worked with him on ‘Boomerang’?
RH: Eddie was perfect for this because he is a family man. He’s like the rest of us. He arranges the house and makes sure that all the families are present. So, we both were in the same mindset that we love Christmas, we love Christmas movies and here is our contribution. So, we’re doing it from a perspective, we relate to this character 100%, which is important to me when you’re making a film like this. Eddie is just getting better, honestly. When you’re sitting in the editing room and you’re watching her act, both comedic and dramatic, you just say, “Boy, she’s great at what she does.” Eddie Murphy is an amazing actor. When people do comedy, they go, “Oh, that’s easy.” It would be the opposite of simple. It’s more difficult.

MF: Can you talk about your use of VFX in the movie and mixing live-action with computer animation?
RH: It was so much fun. I’m dying to work with ILM, Industrial Light and Magic, all those amazing people. Man, they were so much fun. We were just feeding each other, “What is it? What is it?” We have featured these amazing voices from these world class actors, Nick Offerman, Robin Thade, Chris Redd, and then they took that thing and then added physical comedy on top of it. So, we were just like, “Oh my God.” We are all having the best time.
MF: Finally, how do you feel about the idea of ’Candy Cane Lane’ becoming a holiday tradition and a film that audiences watch year after year?
RH: When we made the movie, we were like, “Look, let’s pack it with so many jokes, so much visual stuff going on that you have to watch it multiple times to catch all the stuff.” So, it’s all there for you. We start on December 1st, but you can watch it for up to 25 days.
