Fangora Magazine interview with Director Jackie Kong

Since Fangora magazine recently published an interview with The Being's director Jackie Kong and in it she talks about filming The Being, it should be included in the article under its production.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

Who edited the plot?!--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did. It was much longer than we allow, except for the most complex of films. The "Plot" section is intended to be a summary, not a blow-by-blow description of the action, which would potentially be a violation of the rights of the film's copyright holder.

Production Expansion

The production section is way too short and needs to be expanded in more detail. There is an interview that Fangoria did with the film's director Jackie Kong, where she talks about the film's production. If someone could add the information found in that article it would be great.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:58, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
