Things get a little wild and wacky on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS thanks to some comedic hijinks with director PAUL TANTER talking STEALING CHAPLIN, while screenwriter EMMA NEEDELL talks about creating THE WATER MAN.
First up, take a listen to our prerecorded exclusive interview with screenwriter EMMA NEEDELL talking about THE WATER MAN, David Oyelowo's beautiful directorial debut. An interesting discussion on Emma's writing process, developing this story, finding tone and translating that to the page, and more. And yes, I want a graphic novel or storybook of this wonderful tale!
And then, a big welcome to director PAUL TANTER who talks in-depth about his new film STEALING CHAPLIN, an absolute "Must See" film for 2021! A comedy of errors that stems from the real-life graverobbing of Charlie Chaplin in Switzerland in the 1970's, with a shift the location to Las Vegas, add in a few bumbling con men, some mobsters, and Wayne Newton and you've got a fun dark comedic romp. And talk about some great filmmaking anecdotes, not to mention the kindness of "Mr. Las Vegas" himself, Wayne Newton, whose generosity proved invaluable to making this film!
