The director did an interview and talked about the movie and Jen’s performance. Making me very excited for the film!

 

Also, Mark Strong is part of the cast!

Film director Brad Peyton traded in central Newfoundland for central California and is finding success every step of the way. 
 

Peyton has worked on multi-million dollar projects with stars like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jason Momoa and N.L.'s own Allan Hawco. 

 

Peyton returned from Los Angeles to visit his hometown in Gander for first time in about 20 years over the holidays.

He sat down in studio with CBC Radio's Newfoundland Morning to talk about his career so far and his next film project — Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez.  

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. 


Q: Let's talk about the last year. How would you recap 2022?

A: It was better than the previous two years because I got to leave my house and do something. I'm still making, but I shot my biggest movie I've ever worked on. It's called Atlas, it's for Netflix. It stars Jennifer Lopez, Sterling K. Brown, Mark Strong. It's a gigantic science fiction move that takes so much world building. It's the most complicated thing I've ever done. It's been a really busy, really good year. 
 

What's is like directing Jennifer Lopez? 

Jen is a force of nature. She's so prepared and she's so focused, thorough and professional that you're just helping guide more than anything else. It was the most collaborative effort that I've ever had with a lead actor, where they're constantly communicating with you and guiding you and making you aware of where they're comfortable and uncomfortable. It was like having a dance partner, that's the way I'd describe it. It was someone who was sort playing in there with you. People like that don't need a lot of direction. Some actors it's just sort of better to get out their way as a film maker and try to make it as focused on performance as possible. So that's what I did, I really just focused on sort of guiding her or supporting her in finding the performance that was best. 

She's amazing in the movie. She's unbelievable. I think people are going to be very impressed by what she pulls off. She goes to some very heavy places in this and she's also very funny. She's a superstar. She can do it all. I had a great time working with her.

 

It's going to be on Netflix in 2023, what do you have to do now to make that happen?

I have a year of post. I have an insanely large number of visual effects. This movie takes place largely on an alien planet 200 years in the future. It involves artificial intelligence, it involves [mechanical] suits, it involves an enormous budget of visual effects to make all of that real.

We do a director's assembly, which is what I'm doing right now. We put in basic effects so the story can be told so that anyone who's aware of what the movie is wouldn't be confused, and once that's given the OK by the studio or they give their notes, we massage that cut and the we go and start putting in visual effects in earnest, like designing the plants, the creatures, the moons, all the environments. This movie has five or six alien environments in it, a huge amount of technology, ships, crafts, all that kind of stuff. It's going to be a couple of months of designing and then 10 months of executing those things. It's a lot of post production. These movies generally take three months to shoot and then a year to finish. All the technical stuff comes into play now.

Everyone she’s worked with always has great things to say about her. She’s a pro and been in the business for more than 2 decades for a reason :clap3:

Now that the strikes are over, can you share what non-Delola projects you’ve been working on?

I have all kinds of things next year. I’m working on three new projects coming out next year — two films [Atlas co-starring Simu Liu and The Godmother, in which she’ll play Colombian drug lord Griselda Blanco] and a record [This Is Me…Now, due February 2024]. Then I have three big tentpole things I’m doing throughout the year as well. I’m excited about all of that!
