“For me, I don't know how you could not make [a script] personal. I think drama allows you to hide how personal it is. I think that's kind of what I like about writing in the genre space. On the outside looking in, it just looks like a big action movie. It doesn't look like a personal story. But there are personal elements like my mom was a working mom as well. And so that's why you have Kyra in the movie who has to come back to her son because she's been working to protect him. That's a very personal thing… but you would never assume that it's a personal story because it's wrapped up in the action,” says Leon Chills, co-writer of the new film Shadow Force, about writing action from a very personal point of view.  On today's episode, we talk with director/co-writer Joe Carnahan and co-writer Leon Chills about the new action flick Shadow Force that puts a family at the center of the action. With a bounty on their heads, Kyra (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) must go on the run with their young son (Jahleel Kamara) to avoid their former employer, a unit of shadow ops that has been sent to kill them. Carnahan and Chills talk about the challenges of writing action set pieces and the power of giving the story emotional weight. We also discuss trying to push the boundaries of the action genre to invent set pieces that are fresh and inventive, and writing action scenes on the page that are compact and concise.  “As an older writer and doing it as long as I have, I'll tell screenwriters, if I see four or five lines of scene description, I'm telling you, do it in two. Do it in one. Let people spend 40 minutes reading your script. No more. You know what I mean? Get through it with that kind of economy. If you've ever read M. Night Shyamalan's Sixth Sense script – it's an absolute masterclass in how to do that. Just so sparse and beautiful and pitch perfect the way that things are written,” says Carnahan.    To learn more about action writing and hear more advice, listen to the podcast.

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Vera Drew, Director & Co-Writer of ‘The People's Joker, which has a special Trans Image/Trans Experience (TITE) Film Festival preview screening at the Light House Cinema on 14th February 2025. The People's Joker is a DIY parody film and hilarious reimagining of the classic autobiographical coming-of-age story follows an unconfident, closeted trans girl as she moves to Gotham City to make it big as a comedian by joining the cast of UCB Live – a government-sanctioned late night sketch show in a world where comedy has been outlawed. As mainstream success eludes our heroine, leading her to unite with a ragtag team of rejects, misfits, and a certain love interest named Mister J, “Joker the Harlequin” is born again as a confident (and psychotic) joker on a collision course with the city's fascist caped crusader. Vats of feminizing chemicals, sexy cartoon interludes, scarecrow psychiatrists, CGI Lorne Michaels, and psychedelic gender dysphoria all play supporting roles. Helmed by writer/director/editor/star Vera Drew and using her own life experiences as a basis for the film, The People's Joker is a deeply personal journey that's as much documentary as it is parody.

“Fugler (Robert Carlyle) was a character that I really connected with from the beginning. I know it sounds a little strange that the Nazi was my way into this, but it really was that idea of, ‘How can we get inside his head and make sure that he's a fully fleshed out person that way?'” says Josh Salzberg about trying to make his villain, a Nazi named Damien Fugler, a three-dimensional character. Josh Salzberg wrote the screenplay for The Performance with co-writer/director Shira Piven. In this episode, Salzberg talks about the challenges of adapting a short story by playwright Arthur Miller that's about a Jewish-American tap dancer (Jeremy Piven), who's willing to compromise his own core values to find fame and fortune in Nazi Germany.  “The idea of all [the characters] is that they're all performing on some level. They all have another life. And that's true to show business, that we all have sides of ourselves that we're not sure we want everybody to see or that it's okay for everybody to see. And then in Berlin in the ‘30s, there's all these different communities that were impacted – not just the Jews in Germany,” he says.  Salzberg also talks about his background as a film editor, how it helped him transition to screenwriting, and the challenges of writing morally compromised characters like his protagonist, Harold.  “I think embracing the mistakes that they make, embracing those flaws and leaning into that is important. Sometimes we can care about our characters to the point where we want them to be likable, which is a note we always get, but we've got to be okay with the mistakes – and the consequences for those mistakes. And that was a lesson that Shira and I kept learning as we were developing the script,” he says.  To hear more about Salzberg's writing process, listen to the podcast. Please note: this episode contains discussions regarding racism and anti-semitism.

“I would argue that the movies, the plays, the stories that endure and certainly that resonate in the most populist and global way are the ones where we're not just observing a piece of storytelling, we're participative in some way and it's connective. How can any of us who are flawed humans connect with a flawless hero? The beauty of Wade [Deadpool] and Logan [Wolverine] is that really, they're two anti-heroes. They do not abide by typical moral codes. They both have been scarred deeply. And I think one thing that's really interesting about them is that the worst thing that's ever happened to them is also the source of their superpowers. Which I think, by the way, is something worth thinking about in all our lives – that the things that we had to get over are also the source of our strength,” says writer/director of Deadpool & Wolverine Shawn Levy.  In this episode, we discuss the elements that Levy thinks make a great hero and also a powerful villain like Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).  “There was something really juicy about [Cassandra's] twinship with Charles Xavier, that this villain is a new villain who has never been in a movie, who has never been anywhere other than the pages of a Marvel comic book. But there is this connective tissue to deep beloved, extensive mythology with Professor X and Charles. So we did lean into her resentment, her envy of Charles. You know, I think maybe one of my favorite couplets of our writing in this movie is when Cassandra says to Wolverine, ‘He must have really loved you.' And he says to Cassandra, ‘He would have loved you too. He would have torn a hole in the universe if he knew where you were.' I get goosebumps saying it now!” says Levy.  We also break down that hilarious fight scene between Deadpool & Wolverine that takes place entirely inside a Honda Odyssey.

NOTE: This interview contains spoilers! Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker RaMell Ross and his acclaimed sound and music team join us to discuss the making of “Nickel Boys.” In adapting Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Ross employed first-person cinematography to draw audiences directly into the emotional and physical experiences of the film's protagonists in a completely immersive way. This innovative approach created unique challenges for the sound team.“I know before we make the film that the sound is going to be deeply complex… Dan [Timmons] worked so long on this thing because it's so subjective… You can go too far [with the sound]… in a way in which it's so abrasively rendered, that it pushes you away.” —RaMell Ross, Co-Writer and Director, “Nickel Boys” Joining the discussion are: - RaMell Ross – Co-Writer and Director - Alex Somers – Composer - Scott Alario – Composer - Tony Volante – Supervising Sound Editor and Re-Recording Mixer - Daniel Timmons – Supervising Sound Editor and Re-Recording MixerThis conversation was recorded as a live panel discussion after a screening of the film at the New York Film Festival.
