M OT I O N P I CTU R E S O U N D E D I TO R S 19 with a new introduction where Dallas said, "If only these reporters had been Twenty Thousand Hertz listeners, they could have heard this so-called 'lost recording' years ago!" But we're going to tell the truth in the documentary. And it's been a blast hearing everyone's piece of the puzzle, and their stories about how they came to first know about the legend of Wilhelm. ANNA: I'm enjoying threading together the rich and joyful stories of the sound editors and mixers who are responsible for propagating the Wilhelm Scream. It's been so much fun to hear Ron Bartlett and Gary Rydstrom detail the moments they decided to sneak it into a movie, or when sci-fi director Andrew Kasch battled endlessly for the scream to be featured in a TV show. There's so much enthusiasm and love out there for this artifact of cinema history. STEVE: Everyone we've reached out to has been absolutely fantastic. I was very thrilled to sit down with most of our subjects for part of their interviews. And we've been able to shoot them in some fun places. Thanks to our friend, Trip Brock, we were able to shoot on one of the stages at Monkeyland Audio in Glendale. And our friends at the Laurel Canyon Stages beamed us aboard their wonderful standing spaceship set. ANNA: The current iteration of The Wilhelm Scream documentary is a short film, but my hope is to expand this into a feature-length piece, for which I'd like to film more with our subjects and explore the Warner Bros. and USC archives myself.
