Creed (2015): 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Skyfall (2012), which they shot: Skyfall ⇒ Creed (the host's read). Bringing a prestige director to a franchise leads to Coogler doing Creed and Black Panther.

Panic Room (2002): 1 line

What was said about them, by kind

craft (5)

  1. craft (craft): Roger Deakins → Fargo. The Coens first told Deakins they wanted only fixed shots, then relaxed it as too puritanical, per his commentary as relayed by the hosts.
    “they initially told him we only want fixed shots. Like you're doing nothing. And then they realized like that's maybe a little too puritanical.”

  2. craft (craft): Roger Deakins → Skyfall. The shot-from-behind-Bond's-shoulder Silva intro is Deakins photography, and the movie is candy for movie nerds.
    “The movie is shot by Roger Deakins.”

  3. craft (craft): Roger Deakins → Skyfall. Deakins's photography keeps Skyfall looking cutting edge and undated years later.

    The Rewatchables · ‘Skyfall’ With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:43:59 · unclear host (0.30 sure it was them)
  4. craft (craft): 1917 → Roger Deakins. A host likens the question of cutting Top Gun to a past Big Picture episode, a podcast celebrating Roger Deakins's cinematography on 1917, that asked whether to cut 1917.
    “should we cut 1917 from a Roger Deacons podcast celebrating his work on 1917”
    The Big Picture · The Tom Cruise Hall of Fame · 1:40:22 · unclear (one of the hosts) (0.30 sure it was them)

people (3)

  1. people (people): Sam Mendes → Roger Deakins. Mendes shoots Silva's entrance with Deakins right behind Bond's shoulder.
