JOSHUA: Cinematic Influences
Sam Rockwell and writer/director George Ratliff discuss some of the movies that influenced JOSHUA.
In response to the comment below, I looked for a MIKEY on imdb.com and didn't see anything listed...?
Sam and George refer to ROSEMARY'S BABY and POLTERGEIST as influential in JOSHUA's creation, two of my fav flicks.
Hey,
I was looking through this site and noticed this film. I was curious because I watched the interview of movies that influenced this one, and I was sadden to see that the film makers neglected to mention the 1992 film "Mikey." The story's plot seems dangerously close to "Joshua," (the little boy that kills and is found out by the parents and all)and at the end of "Mikey," the boy suffers from memory loss and is reintroduced to his new foster family as Josh. I actually thought that this may have been the sequel to "Mikey." I hope that the story takes a twist because there may be confusion to whether the movies are linked or not. Thanks. I look forward to hearing from you about this.
Mikey's not a real boy.
