Andy Serkis on power, freedom and his spiritual home

Andy Serkis is on Popcorn Podcast to talk his latest directorial effort, and animated retelling of George Orwell’s classic novel, Animal Farm. Starring an all-star voice cast including Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Kieran Culkin and Woody Harrelson, this adaptation shifts George Orwell’s allegory from Stalinism to modern corporate corruption, trading a dystopian tone for "something a little more uplifting." In our chat, Andy shares how the origins of his adaptation were originally much darker, how the corruption of power is explored in his film, what he considers to be his spiritual home, and which moment in a Paul Thomas Anderson film brings him joy.More Popcorn:Lin-Manuel Miranda returns to Moana with new song and sound adviceMoana: culturally important, but is it worth reimagining?Know someone who loves movies?
