Not only did I get to experience the 3D coolness of Julia X 3D at Screamfest on Sunday, but I also got the chance to talk with the film’s writer/director P.J. Pettiette at the black carpet!
Adam Cray: How did you become involved with Julia X 3D?
P.J. Pettiette: My producing partner Claudie Viguerie and I did a picture in Argentina, then a picture I produced in Ireland, so I was looking for something to direct. I had this story idea and I thought “Well, what’s scary to me? Not supernatural.” There are a lot of films and I thought “I’ve done that” so with this one I thought: “If I were a woman and I was on an internet date and I got abducted, I’d be kind of scared…What if I was the woman that got abducted and I turned out to be a serial killer too?...

With the Screamfest La Film Festival now under way through October 22nd at Manns Chinese 6 in Hollywood, California, we chatted recently with P.J. Pettiette, the director of one of the fest's selections, the 3D feature Julia X, and got the skinny on the horror-comedy flick, which is having its U.S. premiere this evening, October 16th.
Written by Matt Cunningham and produced by Greg Hall, Claude Viguerie and the film’s director Pettiette, Julia X 3D stars Valerie Azlynn, Kevin Sorbo, Alicia Leigh Willis, Joel Moore, and Ving Rhames and follows, "’Julia’ (Azlynn) who meets a man on her third Internet date. As she is is leaving, she is abducted by ‘The Stranger’ (Sorbo) and branded with an ‘X’. After a cat-and-mouse game, she eventually subdues The Stranger, and we discover that Julia and her younger sister, Jessica (Willis), are Internet predators themselves."
