I do like the beauty of his films, and the magic worlds. Wes Anderson films are wonderful, and that’s a direction I’d like to head towards. I knew that style would not be able to make good films. For my comedy, I developed a system that’s very left field and the idea associations sweep through little vignettes. And I just knew that I didn’t have the perfect sense of drama structure. The trouble is that I knew I didn’t want my first film to be something where people go, “Woah, that was really not good.” As long as it’s a basic level of good, you can build upon that and make it better than good. So, I do want to get that into production, hopefully this year.
I have two separate agents in the U.K., and I’m pushing in two directions, which are different. And then, when it took so long for my comedy to break through, I thought, “I’m going to do drama, as well,” and I doubled down. It was about getting into films, initially, but then I backed off of that, thinking that I couldn’t do drama. IZZARD: Yes, it’s definitely something I hope to get into production soon. I channeled everything, and that’s what came out. I thought of every rock ‘n’ roll person I’d ever heard of or met, and comedian, and solo performance artist, with this idea that you have this living based on your imagination, but your imagination isn’t doing anything. IZZARD: I saw him as an amalgam of everything. Who is Angus Scattergood to you? Did you see him as similar to any one or a combination of rockers, or did you see him as very much his own being? All this weird stuff comes out, and if they don’t like it, they can cut it. As long as you keep in the direction of the script and you know where you’re going in the scene, you can muck about, and I find the mucking about so much fun. He wanted to try different things to see where it would go. It started from the fact that it was slightly outside the box. Were you and the director always on the same page about this being a much more collaborative process than is typical for animated movies? I just like doing it, if they’ll let me go.
If you’re locked down and locked into the script, it’s less compelling. Ash just let us go, which was a great thing. A lot of that chase afterwards was ad-libbed, as well. The idea of swearing, and then putting a car over it, really worked and was very real. Me and Luke got together in Dallas and we did a session together, so we were ad-libbing. He let me go wherever I felt, in the moment. I just went into this place where I liked him. The greatest thing that Ash Brannon did with me was allow me to try things and test it out and see where we could get to. The character of the fading rock star is a bit been there before. IZZARD: I really wasn’t sure, at the beginning, if I should do this. How was your experience collaborating with Ash Brannon, as a director? I think it’s more fun when it sounds adult, but the kids can get a handle on it, so that the older people watching it can go, “I like this, too!”

I don’t know how to do kid’s dialogue, and I don’t think I would do it.

Were you able to have free reign with finding who this guy is?ĮDDIE IZZARD: That’s interesting. He also talked about writing his first dramatic feature film, Six Minutes to Midnight, why it’s a subject that he’s so passionate about, and how he hopes to get it into production this year.Ĭollider: Angus Scattergood is an interesting character because he has much more adult dialogue and speech than we would expect from an animated feature. To succeed, he must leave his home on Snow Mountain, defy his father’s wishes, and head to the city to find the legendary but reclusive musician Angus Scattergood ( voiced by Eddie Izzard), who is not exactly in the mood to help anyone do anything, let alone a young dog looking to fulfill his dreams.ĭuring this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, actor/comedian Eddie Izzard talked about what convinced him to sign on for Rock Dog, the highly collaborative experience he had with director Ash Brannon, getting to do an ad-libbing voice session with co-star Luke Wilson, that Angus is an amalgam of every rock ‘n’ roll person he’d ever heard of or met, and why creative people have to never stop evolving.
