273. Interview | CHUM Director Jonathan Zuck & Producer Eamon O'Rourke

On this episode of The Movies, I interview Jonathan Zuck and Ramon O'Rourke, the director and producer of the new killer shark movie CHUM.A Maltese destination wedding turns deadly after a boating accident leaves the couple and their friends with only one option: dive into waters inhabited by a man-eater, a shark who gnaws on limbs like turkey legs.Their savior is a rugged, experienced fisherman named Roy. However, let's just say the shark isn't the only killer in CHUM...I talk with Zuck & O'Rourke regarding the challenges of shooting in open water, a feat JAWS director Steven Spielberg cheekily described, of his own decision to do so, as being deprived from a combination of courage and stupidity. The CHUMs concur with knowing grins.We get into the logistics of filming using an armada of boats, the reinterpretations derived in post-production, lessons learned while directing and much, much more.---CHUM is now available to watch in select theaters and on VOD.Watch the work-in-progress cut of CHUM hereFollow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!
