4 July 07 Director Jonathon King talks to radio programme Fair Game about working with Weta Workshop on Black Sheep...

Interviewer Faith Salie gives a hilarious interview with Jonathon and asks him about his relationship with New Zealand, special effects and his personal relationship with sheep. "Sheep are easily distracted and get bored easily", he told the programme. "Their rather like actors; feed them and tell them exactly what to do and they'll do that", he laughed.

Jonathon also reveals the inspiration behind the film (a midnight screening of film Evil Dead), and what it was like working with Richard Taylor and the Weta team, who were in the middle of working on King Kong at the time of Black Sheep. "They had so much fun with it", Jonathon told Fair Game, "so I felt lucky to have so much experience on the film... by having animatronics and puppets on the film, the audience is given a real experience."
