‘Nutcrackers’ Director David Gordon Green On Applying Blumhouse Model To Comedy, “Disservice” Modern Multiplexes Are Doing To Moviegoers
David Gordon Green told us about applying Blumhouse's financial model to comedy, his streaming deal for 'Nutcrackers,' and more.
Below, Green gives his take on the way forward, also dishing on his feelings regarding the first big streaming deal of his career, his work as director and EP of Amazon’s forthcoming series Kay Scarpetta, and more. A big influence of ours was Overboard, which is a movie I just always loved — that Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell film — and then I think Bad News Bears and Bless the Beasts and Children were our role models for how to bring these kids forward, and capture who they are, in their rough-around-the-edges authenticity. I feel like we’re on the cusp of a renaissance that happened, I’ll say in the late ’60s in American filmmaking, where everything got so manufactured within the studio vernacular that it was a time for the Easy Riders and Raging Bulls to come and disrupt the institution.
