The new episode of The Empire Podcast is something special, as we were able to bring together this incredible talent with five amazing guests. It’s like putting two Oscar winners and treasured thespian Ralph Fiennes, side-by-side, with ingenious directors. Almost three decades after their indelible collaboration on The English Patient, they reunite here. They are collaborating again to talk about their featured roles in the new NBC scripted drama, The Return. The Civilizations Suitcase production showcases an Odyssean narrative focused on the ideas of journey and discovery.
Alongside amazing conversations with Fiennes and Binoche, our podcast features a discussion between Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne. The duo again shines in the compelling new spy thriller, The Amateur. We’re borrowing most heavily from the 1997 sci-fi horror classic Event Horizon for this film. Malek and Fishburne jump into their foreshadowing segment with gusto. They reminisce about their initial encounter, and both high-five the positive, creative energy that has fueled their ongoing professional friendship ever since.
This episode is a real treat for our listeners as they spend an inordinate amount of time diving deep into these fascinating conversations. In this final podcast installment, the hosts explore the complexities of The Amateur. They dig into how the film serves as an homage to Event Horizon, a cult classic that has had a massive impact on contemporary cinema.
Ben Travis, one of the podcast’s hosts, engages in a lively discussion with Christopher Landon, known for his work in the horror genre. Their conversation adds an inspiring new angle to this already jam-packed episode. It’s bursting with riveting material, hands down “stuffed to the gills!
Rounding out our creativity category, the Empire Podcast shines as a one-of-a-kind platform. It’s engaging, informative and gives listeners an inside look at the complexities of making films. With such a diverse range of guests this week, listeners can expect an engaging mix of reflections on past experiences and insights into new projects.
