Sons of Guns is een leuke vermakelijk en vooral soms extreem gewelddadige serie die je een WTF?? moment geeft. Op 9 september gaat in Amerika het zevenden en gelijk laatste seizoen van start en belooft het een bloederige finale te worden. De website The Verge sprak met Kurt Sutter (die in de show de rol van Opie speelde) de bedenker van de serie, en deze vertelde over de fans, Netflix, Social media en nog veel meer.


Let me start by congratulating you and the writers on seven - what I expect will be - seven successful seasons. I love the show and I know a lot of people here do too. We're now less than a month away from the season premiere, so, how are you feeling about the end of the show?

Quite honestly I'm feeling a little tired. But we're excited. It's been sort of a blessing and a curse. We're excited about being able to bring this thing to a close and knowing that people are really excited about it. But there's a sadness about having to actually put it all to bed. The premieres are always fun for everyone. You get the cast and crew together, and everyone sees the fruits of their labors. It's also a kick in the ass and a motivator to keep us moving into the last half of the season.

So you haven't finished production on all the episodes?

No, I just turned in episode eight. I work pretty close to the edge here. I don't like to write too much in advance. We've broken story through episode 10 or episode 11. But I like to really see things in post [production], to see how episodes land and see how relationships work out, rather than writing all the scripts and seeing what works and doesn't work. I let that [the first few finished episodes] inform me. What new characters are popping? What relationships are developing? There's an interesting friendship between Nero and Wendy this season, for example, and so then I want to play with that more. It allows me to keep it a little bit loose, but maybe it's a little too close to the edge [laughs].
