In the bonus section on the dvd for The Skulls is one of those on-the-set documentaries about the movie where they interviewed Josh Jackson and Paul Walker and the director about how this was one of the most important movies of the 20th century (or something to that affect). Of course, in the interviews with JJack and Leslie Bibb and Hill Harper, they’re very serious about their Craft and the Script and the Direction and how it was important to them to Dive into their Characters. The director also goes into a lot of detail about how the movie is so important because it gives a good message to young people (no lie: he thinks that the movie’s message is that you can risk everything to get back your soul and he goes into this whole Faust analogy which included a lot of nervous giggling… point being that he at least thought that this movie was better quality than the average teen movie, and I’m not gonna argue with him, because I don’t enjoy arguing with people who are delusional). Anyway, Paul Walker’s interviews are, of course, a little more Paul Walker, where he gives off his typical Paul Walker impression of, “This is… the movie… I can’t remember the name of it, does anyone remember? I did this movie, is the thing. And I played a character.” He just seems very uninvolved.
But, as deep as my love for Josh Jackson runs, I have to say that the thing about The Skulls that keeps me watching it over and over is PWalk’s Caleb Mandrake. I mean, there’s nothing better in this movie, I’m sorry. Did you want a list? That can be arranged: The 15 Reasons Paul Walker’s Performance Makes the Movie
