Mark Duplass & Sterling K. Brown on 'Biosphere's Delicate Subject Matter
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Biosphere.]Directed by Mel Eslyn, who also co-wrote the script with Mark Duplass, the part sci-fi, part comedy, all very unexpected flick Biosphere finds lifelong best friends Billy and Ray living in a dome as the last two men on earth.
DUPLASS: It was just this weird impulse I had, that I wanted to see these two guys living inside of a dome, arguing fiercely about Super Mario Bros., in ways that were way more serious than it should be. But I didn’t really have the story and the breath of it.
DUPLASS: For me, the thing that is always striking to me about Mel, even though I’m working with her day in and day out, and she’s been running my company for 10 years, is her extreme adaptability and the speed with which she evolves, as a creator and as a human.
I had the funniest moment watching this because I was ready to cry early, over the fish. I was like, “Oh, my God, the fish is gone! Is the movie over? Are they going to die already? How is there going to be more of a movie? How can they go on?” Mark, is this whole Mario/Luigi argument something that is a conversation you’ve been having in real life?
You guys obviously had fun with this and you clearly have fun with each other, but when you’re the only two people in a movie and you’re stuck in the same location for the duration of it, did you ever have a moment where one of you just wanted the other to go away? DUPLASS: No, I never had that. If anything, I was knocking on Sterling’s door a little bit. Bo Burnham’s Inside had just come out, and we were like listening to it. We were honestly looking for more of that.
