Ep757: Characters, Classics, and THE DEVIL YOU KNOW: An Interview with Writer / Director CHARLES MURRAY

Published: April 1, 2022, 10:45 a.m.

Ian welcomes writer/director Charles Murray to discuss his latest film, The Devil Know!

Omar Epps stars as Marcus, an ex-con who has made a better life for himself, thanks to the support of his large, loving family. When younger brother Drew (William Catlett) gets mixed up in a horrific crime, Marcus' instinct to protect his sibling proves disastrous--leading to fractured relationships and the prospect of returning to prison.

In this spoiler-free, free-flowing conversation, Charles talks about how his career writing and producing genre TV (Luke Cage, Clone Wars, and many others) informs his more personal independent work; how classic crime films informed the way he told The Devil Know, and how he approached directing a tense interrogation scene between Omar Epps and Michael Ealy (who plays the detective pursuing Marcus and Drew).

Plus: find out what it was like going to see The Batman with Jeph Loeb, co-creator of some of the Dark Knight's most cherished modern storylines!

The Devil Know is now playing exclusively at AMC Theatres.
