BTL Radio Show – 07/15/2024 with special guest JEFF CELENTANO plus exclusive interviews with ERIC ROBERTS and GUY PEARCE

 

 

 

It’s a jam-packed episode of  BEHIND THE LENS as director JEFF CELENTANO joins us live talking about his new film BLACKWATER LANE, and you’ll also hear my exclusive interviews with ERIC ROBERTS talking LUMINA while GUY PEARCE discusses THE CONVERT.

First up is my exclusive interview with the one and only ERIC ROBERTS talking about one of his new films (he has so many popping out and on deck), the sci-fi thriller LUMINA.  A fun interview with one of my favorite character actors.  Giving insight into creating a character including the wardrobe, production design, and location (shooting in Marrakesh for the first time in his career), Eric also discusses his process for accepting roles.  And get ready as Eric even gives me his thoughts on aliens!!  Is he a believer?

Then director JEFF CELENTANO discusses his new psychological thriller, BLACKWATER LANE.  Written by Elizabeth Fowler based on the best-selling novel by B.A. Paris, this is one riveting, twisty-turny tale that (1) doesn’t stray far from the book and (2) is exquisitely visualized by Jeff in the film as he taps into all of our senses.  In other words, what you “see” and “hear” in the book is expertly brought to life on screen.  An insightful conversation that delves into location scouting, shooting overseas, lighting and lensing, and so much more.

BLACKWATER LANE is currently streaming on Prime Video.

And we round out the show going overtime (as usual!) with my exclusive interview with GUY PEARCE talking about his new film, THE CONVERT.  A powerful, emotional, and thought-provoking film, it’s easy to understand what led Guy to this one, not to mention the chance to work with director Lee Tamahori in this rich period piece  It’s been a few years since we last spoke, so catching up now is just wonderful as Guy talks about what led him to THE CONVERT, the filming experience, and even some similarities with his 2012 film “Lockout”.

THE CONVERT is now available on Prime Video, AppleTV, and other streaming platforms.
