S2E64 On Making "Valkyrie": For the first time ever, Gil and I talk about Gil’s last big studio movie, VALKYRIE starring TOM CRUISE and directed by BRYAN SINGER. Bryan asked Gil to produce Valkyrie for him after Gil produced SUPERMAN RETURNS which Bryan also directed. Making Valkyrie changed Gil’s life. That is, it changed the direction his life took. For starters, making a story about Germany during WWII – about the Nazi hierarchy – was challenging to Gil; he grew up in the war’s shadow. In fascism’s murderous shadow. But, this was a story, Gil thought, that the world had to hear. Claus von […] by The How NOT To Make A Movie Podcast

Compelled Clayne Crawford: on this episode of Compelled, we take a look at Clayne Crawford and the allegations of his abusive behavior on the set of Fox's Lethal Weapon TV series https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/05/lethal-weapon-damon-wayans-clayne-crawford-fired-fox-abuse Now that Lethal Weapon has been renewed for a third season at Fox—and has hired a new star, Seann William Scott, to replace the fired Clayne Crawford—it appears original cast member Damon Wayans has some things to say. Rumors of tension between Wayans and Crawford have circulated for weeks, but in a new series of tweets—which have now been made private—the actor gave his followers his version of why, exactly, Crawford was dismissed from the series. Crawford, Wayans wrote, once “hit another actor in the mouth with a bottle of green tea and busted his mouth open.” In another tweet, he wrote, “Put up with this two seasons. Kiss the dark side of my ass if you don’t understand it wasn’t just me. @ClayneCrawfor by HipPODrome Cast
