Chris Weitz: How to Make a Fan Favorite Franchise
Manage episode 423328790 series 3493431
We are excited to welcome Academy Award Nominee and multi-hyphenate mastermind Chris Weitz onto the show! Chris's impressive career kicked off with the fan favorite American Pie franchise, and he has brought his incredible directing and screenwriting skills to a multitude of blockbuster hits, including About a Boy, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, Down to Earth and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Chris is currently in post-production on a Blumhouse Sony film he has written and directed and has a scripted series kicking off production for AppleTV starring Alexander Skarsgård. In this episode of One Moore Hollywood Podcast, Chris gives his insight into writing and directing fan favorite franchises as well as small indie films, why he recommends being the 'ignored film' at a big studio, and gives his reasoning on why he plans on sticking to the traditional content creation he knows and loves instead of trying to follow social trends.
