Published: Jan. 11, 2022, 12:02 a.m.

b'Today, Giles Alderson and co-host Dom Lenoir welcome not one but two amazing guests to this very special episode. First, they talk to the one and only Joe Wright! Yes, that\\u2019s right, Joe Wright, the director of films such as Pride & Prejudice (2005), Hanna (2011), Anna Karenina (2012), Darkest Hour (2017), and The Woman in the Window (2021). But today he\\u2019s here to talk about his latest film, Cyrano, starring Peter Dinklage, Haley Bennett, Kelvin Harrison Jr. and many more. He talks about how he gets great performances, the importance of rehearsals, what he\\u2019s looking for in an actor, working with the same crew and how he preps a movie.\\nAnd then, Giles and Dom had the pleasure of speaking to the screenwriter of Cyrano, Erica Schmidt. She has never written a screenplay before, but she has written a lot of plays. That is why she talks about her work and life as a playwriter, the challenges of turning a stage play into a film script, how the film came about, and she discusses what she learned from being on set.\\nIt was a great pleasure talking to these brilliant minds. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this week\\u2019s episode with Joe Wright & Erica Schmidt.\\n\\xa0\\nCYRANO will be released in February!\\nToo self-conscious to woo Roxanne himself, wordsmith Cyrano de Bergerac helps young Christian nab her heart through love letters.\\n\\xa0\\nEPISODE LINKS\\nCyrano TRAILER\\n\\xa0\\nPATREON\\nBig thank you to:\\nMarli J Monroe\\nWant your name in the show notes or some great bonus material on filmmaking?\\nJoin our Patreon\\xa0for bonus episodes, industry survival guides and feedback on your film projects!
