The Empire podcast have an excellent run of interviews for the genre movies it covers. In the latest, host Chris Hewett gets director David F. Sandberg and producer Peter Safran behind a microphone and dives deep into the Shazam movie. No, not nearly as deep as the seven hours--yes, seven hours--Hewett and director Christopher McQuarrie spent discussion last year's Mission Impossible: Fallout (my review) but it still gets to the good stuff.
The highlights for me was the discussion about 1980s movies like Ghostbusters and how it influenced the 2019 Shazam film. Also they discuss that fabulous last scene of the movie and how a scheduling conflict actually created a better final shot of the movie. It makes what I wanted to see not as good or meaningful as what was actually filmed.
See what I did there? Told you what I wanted to tell you while revealing nothing.
It's a great interview. Then the usual Empire panel discuss the film in spoilerific detail.
If you enjoyed the Shazam movie and are interested in a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, check out this week's Empire podcast.
Oh, and star Zachery Levi sat down with the podcast a few episodes back. If you don't already love this guy, this episode might win you over.
