It’s a fun-filled episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we take a look at the indie gem #ROXY, the blockbusting RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET, and one of the greatest love stories ever told, STAN & OLLIE.
First up, we go back to Litwak’s Arcade and then into the internet with RALPH BREAKS THE INTERNET. Take a listen to what co-directors RICH MOORE And PHIL JOHNSTON (also a co-writer) had to say about making a sequel to WRECK-IT-RALPH while producer CLARK SPENCER talks about some of the technological advances that allowed for the visual wonders we see unfold onscreen.
Then, director MICHAEL KENNEDY is live talking about the sweet and funny #ROXY, a new spin on the age-old tale of Cyrano de Bergerac. From cinematography to casting to capturing magic hour to the talented young actors on board for #ROXY, Michael covers it all.
We close out the second half of our show with our prerecorded exclusive interview with director JON S. BAIRD as he talks about STAN & OLLIE. We all know about cinematic comedy legends Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, but how much do we know about STAN & OLLIE, lifelong partners onscreen and lifelong friends off, most notably in the latter part of their lives when they hit the boards across the Pond with a comedy show. Listen as Jon talks about his love for Laurel & Hardy, the casting of Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly in the title roles, the equally compelling storyline of the men’s wives, bringing a real sense of old Hollywood royalty in the film with the casting of Danny Huston as Hal Roach, the lighting and lensing design and working with cinematographer Laurie Rose, and Martin Scorsese’s influence on Baird’s directing.
