  • We had the distinct privilege of sitting down with the legendary director Martin Campbell for an exclusive, in-depth conversation about his remarkable career.

    Martin Campbell's filmography speaks for itself. He's the director who not only breathed new life into the James Bond franchise with the explosive "Golden Eye," but also delivered the critically acclaimed and emotionally resonant "Casino Royale," introducing Daniel Craig as 007. He gave us the thrilling "The Mask of Zorro," the politically charged "Edge of Darkness," the intense "Vertical Limit," and the action-packed "Green Lantern." He's a master of suspense, a visual storyteller of the highest caliber, and a director who consistently delivers compelling cinema.

    And, of course, we're thrilled to discuss his latest film, the taut thriller "Cleaner," which promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. This film boasts an incredible cast, featuring performances from the likes of…Daisy Ridley, Taz Skylar and Clive Owen.

    In our interview, we delve into

    his creative process

    his experiences working with these talented actors and on some of the biggest franchises in film history

    and the unique challenges of bringing his latest vision 'Cleaner' to the screen.

  • The brilliant filmmaker Richard Linklater (Boyhood) and the uber talented Glen Powell (Any One But You) joins us to chat about their brilliant comedy movie Hit Man!

    Richard Linklater and Glen Powell discuss how the movie came about. Why they wrote it together on spec and how they made it with Giles Alderson & Dom Lenoir.

    From his debut feature "It's Impossible to Learn to Plow by Reading Books" – a film he made with almost no budget, Richard Linklater kick started his career. Shot on Super 8, and literally drove around the country screening himself – He made the cult classic "Dazed and Confused," the romantic trilogy "Before Sunrise," "Before Sunset," and "Before Midnight," the animated rotoscope experiments of "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly," and the groundbreaking, 12-years-in-the-making "Boyhood," Linklater has consistently defied expectations and carved
    his own path with a signature style that's both intimate and epic.
     
    From his breakout role in "Scream Queens" to his
    scene-stealing performance as Chad Radwell in "Everybody Wants Some!!" – Richard Linklater's ode to college life in the 80s – Glen Powell has been steadily building an impressive resume. He's charmed audiences in rom-coms like "Set It Up," and "Anyone But You" showcased his dramatic chops in the true-life war epic "Devotion," and, of course, soared to new heights as the cocky but ultimately heroic Hangman in "Top Gun: Maverick and very recently blew us away in the brilliant 'Twisters'.
