Makin’ with Bacon
IT’S BEEN 21 years since Kevin Bacon and David Koepp first worked together, on the haunting (and slightly overlooked in all The Sixth Sense hubbub) Stir Of Echoes . Since then they’ve remained friends, but stayed apart professionally. Until horror brought them back together again, reuniting them on the Wales-set psychological chiller, You Should Have Left . Empire spoke to them both, over Zoom, to talk about how their friendship began, how it’s changed, and what scares them.
ON FIRST WORKING TOGETHER…
One of the ideas [for ] was to do this working-class story. Kevin’s name came. I must have seen that movie seven or eight times. I think it went well from the start.
