From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

When Christopher Borgley got the Norwegian Film Institute to provide funding for his debut feature,

sick of myself, the Oslo-born filmmaker failed to mention that he had secretly moved to L.A.

That was definitely against the rules.

I kept having to come up with excuses that I was somewhere abroad and I was in a different

place each time and I had to do it over Zoom. And each time I had to come up with like a new

excuse, you know, because I couldn't reveal that I'd moved out of the country.

Borgley went on to make his first feature film in Norway, in Norwegian, so no harm, no foul.

The writer-director joins us to talk about his new English-language movie, Dream Scenario,

which stars Nicholas Cage, though the original plan was Adam Sandler.

But first we banter, stick around. It's the business from KCRW.

Hello, Matt. Hi there. So quite a lot of news this week. Let's start with Warner's. Warners, once again, has dropped a completed movie and a totally completed movie this time. Did it with

Bad Girl. It did it with some Scooby-Doo movie.

It's doing it now with this Roadrunner Coyote movie.

This is the kind of thing that makes creatives crazy.

Initially, they were like, we're just going to put it in a dark room, lock the door,

and no one will ever see it.

But now they've turned around because of the blowback and said, okay, we're going to allow

other studios to buy this if they want to from us, which is kind of funny because those

characters are so identified with Warner's, but, you know, it's maybe considered better to

try to give it a sale and let people see it and not be that much of the bad guys. However, I'm pretty skeptical
