If you have Netflix and want to check out an awesome new movie, I’d suggest pushing play on The Adam Project this weekend. Directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds (you know the ones that made one of the best films of last year Free Guy), the original film has Reynolds traveling back in time to get help from his younger self (Walker Scobell) and his late father (Mark Ruffalo) to try and save the future. This is one of those "the less you know the better" stories, but I can promise you it’s one of those special movies that manages to blend an old school Amblin vibe with cool action, funny dialogue, and aspirational wish fulfillment. The Adam Project also stars Jennifer Garner, Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldana.
Shortly after seeing the film, I was able to conduct an extended interview with Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds. In today’s installment, they talked about how The Adam Project happened, what people might be surprised to learn about the making of a movie in Hollywood, balancing all the different tones in the film, casting Walker Scobell and his fantastic performance, what it’s like making a movie at Netflix versus the legacy studios, what they learned from test screening the movie, and why they cut out a scene they both loved.
In addition, if you’re not aware, Levy played the dad in Taylor Swift’s All Too Well short film. I got him to briefly talk about making the video and I even got Reynolds to judge his performance. It’s a fun exchange.
Check out what they had to say in the player above, or you can read the conversation below. Again, The Adam Project starts streaming on Netflix this Friday and I can’t recommend it enough.
