BOOK MOVIE. SHE’S UM, FURY OF
THE GODS. THIS IS IN THE DC
UNIVERSE. ZACHARY LEAVE YOU
REPRISING THE TITLE ROLE OF THE
SUPERHERO SHOWS, UM, TELL US
MORE WELL, IT’S SO FUNNY. THE
FIRST ONE CAME OUT EXACTLY FOUR
YEARS AGO TODAY. YEAH THEY’VE
GOT IT OUT. NOW IT’S ANOTHER ONE
OF THOSE. WHERE AS YOU KNOW,
SHE’S UM IS ACTUALLY A KID WHO,
WHEN HE TURNS INTO THE SUPERHERO
BECOMES AN ADULT. YES, IT’S ALL
ABOUT THIS KID TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD AND
THE FURY OF THE GODS IS THERE
THESE GUYS WANT TO COME DOWN AND
AS ALWAYS, TAKE OVER THE WORLD,
SO, UH, IT’S ALL UP TO HIM TO
TAKE CARE OF THEM. HAVE A CLIP.
SURE DO HERE WE GO. A LOT HAS
CHANGED IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
WIZARD GAVE ME SUPERPOWERS. AND
THEN EVERYBODY GOT SUPERPOWERS
FROM THE BOTTOM. NOW WE’RE HERE
. ALRIGHT HERE’S THE SITUATION.
I’M NOT ON TV. THE DAUGHTERS OF
ATLAS ARE COMING TO HUNT US.
CHILDREN THE POWER OF THE GODS.
RIPPED IT FROM OUR FATHERS. COOL
OKAY. I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I SHOULD
BE WRITING ALL THIS DOWN. ALL
RIGHT. LOTS OF ACTION. HOW MANY
REELS FOR THIS ONE GREG KID FOR
AN AN ADULT LIKE THREE BECAUSE
THE KIDS LIKE IT BECAUSE, LIKE I
SAID, THEY’RE TALKING LIKE
CHILDREN. AND SO THE KIDS THINK
MOM AND DAD DON’T KNOW WHAT
THEY’RE SAYING. THEY’RE GOING. I
SAID THAT SEEMS UP 30 YEARS AGO,
RIGHT? THERE YOU GO. OKAY, THIS
IS GOOD, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE A NEW
SERIES THAT’S COMING FROM THE
BBC. IT’S CALLED THE CONVENTIONS
OF FRANNY LINCOLN. WHAT THE THIS
SEEMS INTRIGUED AND IT’S
HAPPENING HERE. IT REALLY IS.
IT’S BASED OFF OF A BOOK BY THE
SAME NAME, AND IT’S ALL ABOUT A
WOMAN WHO WAS TAKEN FROM JAMAICA
TO BECOME A SLAVE IN ENGLAND.
BUT JUST ABOUT THE THINGS WERE
GOING ON THERE. THE LOVE AFFAIR
THAT YOU HAD THE PERSON WHO SHE
WAS IN LOVE WITH, AND IT WAS
DIFFERENT AT THAT TIME, ALRIGHT,
AND JUST A LOT OF OTHER STUFF,
BUT IT’S VERY INTRIGUING GOT TO
TALK TO THE AUTHOR AS WELL AS
THE LEAD ACTRESS, SO HERE WE GO
TO IT. YOU’RE THE WRITER OF THE
NOVEL AS WELL AS THE TELEPLAY
AND ALL LIKE THAT. HOW DID THIS
WHOLE IDEA COME ABOUT? IT’S JUST
FASCINATING. YEAH, I MEAN IT. I
LIKE TO SAY THAT I READ TO FILL
GAPS, AND I HAVE BEEN AN
OBSESSIVE BOOKWORM EVER SINCE I
LEARNED TO READ WHEN I WAS VERY
TINY, BUT I’VE COME TO REALIZE
THAT I ALSO WRITE TO FILL GAPS,
AND THIS NOVEL WAS DEFINITELY MY
WAY OF FILLING A GAP THAT I HAD
LEFT BEEN LEFT WITH BY MY
LIFELONG READING. UM YOU KNOW, I
WAS JUST REALLY FED UP WITH
LOOKING TO HISTORICAL LITERATURE
FOR STORIES ABOUT WOMEN LIKE ME.
AND FINDING ALMOST NOTHING BUT
STEREOTYPES OF SUFFERING OR, YOU
KNOW A LINK TO SUFFERING IN SOME
WAY, AND I WONDERED WHAT WE
COULD DO IF WE HONOR THE
BACKDROP, THE EXPERIENCE OF
ENSLAVEMENT AND WE WERE
AUTHENTIC AND TRUE TO THAT
HISTORY, BUT WE IMAGINED A
COMPLICATED, COMPLEX WOMAN WHO’S
DRIVEN BY A DESIRE FOR ALL THE
THINGS THAT THE WORLD SAYS SHE’S
NOT SUPPOSED TO WANT. YOU KNOW,
I LIKE TO SAY THAT WE HAVE PUT A
JAMAICAN WOMAN IN JANE AUSTEN
TERRITORY WITH THIS SHOW. YEAH,
I KNOW. IT’S AN INCREDIBLE
STORY. I REMEMBER WHEN I GOT THE
FIRST EPISODE, AND IT WAS LIKE,
OH, MY GOD. JAMAICAN WOMAN IN
PERIOD DRAMA, HIS VOICE OVER.
SHE’S THE LEAD, AND SHE’S LIKE
THIS INCREDIBLE FORCE OF NATURE
. AND YEAH, I WAS BLOWN AWAY AND
I WAS LIKE, I REALLY, REALLY
WANT TO PLAY HER. AND AFTER I
GOT THE WRONG I COMPLETED THE
NOVEL AND I REMEMBER JUST
SITTING THERE LIKE I GET TO DO
THIS, LIKE WHAT SHE GOES THROUGH
IS JUST INCREDIBLE FOR AN ACTOR
TO PLAY. WOW RANDY AND I ARE ALL
IN IT WERE BEING DEAD. GREAT.
INTERESTING SO WHAT DID YOU
THINK ABOUT THIS SERIES? BECAUSE
IT’S ACTUALLY RATED 100% FRESH
ON ROTTEN TOMATOES RARITY
BECAUSE IT IT CHOSE THIS WHOLE
STORY FROM A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE AND ALSO WITH THE
FEMALE AS THE LEAD, AND LIKE I
SAID, JUST THE OTHER STORIES. I
DON’T WANT TO GIVE EVERYTHING
AWAY. YOU KNOW THEY’RE GOING ON
THERE. UH I THINK IT’S LIKE FOUR
OR FIVE EPISODES OF BINGE
WATCHED THE WHOLE THING AND WAS
READY TO WATCH IT AGAIN. I GOT
TO GO SEE THAT. OKAY INTRIGUED
JUST BY WERE LIKE, WHAT IS IT
BRIT BOX SO YOU CAN WATCH IT
FROM THE COMFORT OF COURSE OF
YOUR OWN HOME. GREAT RIGHT.
