Ep406 - Chris McKay, Director ‘The Lego Batman Movie,’ ‘The Tomorrow War,’ & ‘Renfield’

11 Apr 2023

Description

Watching movies, reading graphic novels, going to DisneyLand… these things made a heavy influence on Chris McKay, the Director of films like Robot Chicken, The Lego Batman Movie, The Tomorrow War, and now, Renfield. Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield and Nicholas Cage plays Dracula. The description reads, “Renfield, Dracula's henchman. and inmate at the lunatic asylum for decades, longs for a life away from the Count, his various demands, and all of the bloodshed that comes with them.” In this interview, McKay talks about why animation is like “making a film in slow motion,” why every step in your career is an education, the importance of trusting your gut to the right opportunities, his involvement with Dungeons and Dragons, and when to “jump on the moving train” as a filmmaker.
