Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 299 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! A cheeky bonus joint for your Friday right here as Pip chats to acclaimed director JAMES MANGOLD!
“I don’t work for two years on a movie just to create a diversion…”
A small but ever so perfectly formed conversation which takes in highlights from James’s illustrious career as well as thoughts on the present, covering his mission to get people out to the cinema, giving over control, creating memorable film making experiences, not being hugely pumped about racing but gradually finding his excitement and rush, importance of character, sequence vs scene, keeping the narrative dancing, the power of “I don’t know”, working with Robert De Niro and all things film from his older projects right up to Ford V Ferrari. Great times, enjoy!
