These are two of the ‘four horsemen’ who led Spud to the big screen. John van der Ruit, the author of Spud, and Brad Logan, one of the producers. John van der Ruit was surprisingly chatty, and not that author image many people have of a hobbled old man hiding in a dark cave writing books. No, this isn’t our first meeting, but it was just something that went through my mind during the interview.
We chatted about the confines of a movie compared to a book, the casting process and I found out a little more about Spud’s international release.
