Description
On this episode of The Deep Cut, host John Rocha welcomes writer, producer and director Scott Z. Burns to the show to discuss his latest film, The Report. A riveting political thriller based on actual events. Idealistic staffer Daniel J. Jones is tasked by his boss Senator Dianne Feinstein to lead an investigation into the CIA’s Detention and Interrogation Program created in the aftermath of 9/11. His explosive findings uncover a conspiracy by top government officials to destroy evidence, subvert the law, and hide a brutal secret from the American public. The Report also stars Michael C. Hall, Ted Levine, Jennifer Morrison, Tim Blake Nelson, Corey Stoll, Maura Tierney and Jon Hamm. Burns and Rocha talk in depth about the process of shepherding this movie from script to screen. Burns also reveals how he found himself as the director of the film and why he felt that this was an important story to tell at this time in our world. He discusses working with his wonderful cast and how he was able to attract so many talented actors of note to this project. He also reveals if he got any Star Wars Episode IX spoilers from Adam Driver! It’s another wide open, fun and in-depth conversation with an accomplished and supremely talented guest on The Deep Cut.
