The fourth season of one of the most popular series of Netflix You will see the light next summer and we believe it is the best time for you to have in your knowledge some aspects that you might not know about the series. With this post we will try to make the wait more enjoyable because there are still six months left and we believe that you will be equally impatient as us.
1. The Duffer brothers, creators of content for young people.
Matt and Ross Duffer The directors of one of our favorite series have a certain inclination to create only content for young people. At 37, the twins were not well known to the series but, like everyone else, they have a past that we are going to reveal to you. Reviewing their filmography we must highlight that they have participated to a greater or lesser extent in the following short films (being directors, producers or writers): We All Fall Down (2005), The Big Toe(2006), Eater (2007), Saturday Night at Norm´s (2008), The Milkman (2008), Abraham´s Boy (2009), Road to Moloch (2009) And vessel (2012). In 2015-2016 they wrote and directed their first feature film; Hidden And in terms of television they have produced and written Wayward Pins for the Fox chain, just before starting their own project Stranger Things (2016 - News).
2. The original title was ‘Montauk’
The term ‘Montauk’ It is due to the experiments that were carried out in the United States within the Air Force station within the so -called ‘Montauk project’. The base of the project focused on kidnapping Long Island children to experiment with them and was secretly taken by the US government. The goal was clear; Create psychological war techniques and exotic research such as time trip. The brothers were going to record in Long Island contextualizing it in 1980, when the secret project was carried out, but due to the weather conditions it presents it became very difficult to record there in winter.
3. A vintage effect filter
If something wanted to get the Duffer brothers it was to convey that atmosphere that everything was really happening where they wanted it to seem to happen, in the 80's. Therefore, they not only had to get the garments belonging to the time, but also wanted to add an added value that would give that ‘touches’ distinctive, the vintage effect. To do this, they needed to embed in their cameras a granulated 1980 filter for each frame and thus get the environment that teleports us at that time without the need for additional effects.
4. The second season beat records
The Stranger Things phenomenon would not notice its success until the beginning of the second season, in which they registered 8.8 million visualizations In the first 3 days of its premiere. A fact that proud of the twins and that promoted them to move forward with a project that already pointed ways, but that would end up reaching a greater dimension than they expected before starting.
5. The death of Bob, very different from the original
In the script of the brothers the death of Bob appeared in him 4th Chapter. However, the actor, Are astin, he interpreted so well the role that his stay decided to prolong until the end. Another aspect that changed was the way of dying. Astin himself asked Matt and Ross Duffer to finish his participation in a much more violent way than he had thought. The actor continually appointed the movie ‘Shark’ in which he emphasized Quint's death in the feature film. It can be said that Astin himself conditioned to some extent the pre -established script, wanting to disappear in a big way.
