Bryan Fuller is a master of blending weirdness and whimsy, having created shows like Pushing Daisies and Dead Like Me. Fitting, then, that his feature directorial debut, Dust Bunny, brings together Amblin inspirations and Hannibal's menacing leading man, Mads Mikkelsen.
Dust Bunny centers on young Aurora (Sophie Sloan), who is plagued by a monstrous, 12-foot-tall dust bunny that she insists has eaten her parents. So, naturally, she asks for the help of her neighbor, a mysterious man that she has discerned is a hitman. And naturally, he is played by Mikkelsen.
In Mashable's Say More interview, Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko spoke with Fuller and Mikkelsen about the road from Hannibal to Dust Bunny, what it was like working together again, and about the prospect of a Pushing Daisies resurrection. Fuller also had the opportunity to take credit for introducing the world to Lee Pace, as he first cast him on 2004's Wonderfalls, then as the lead of 2007's Pushing Daisies.
