Michael Showalter and Simon Cellan Jones Directors of THE IDEA OF YOU and ARTHUR THE KING

Thank you for listening to the FOLLOWING FILMS Podcast. Today we have two interviews for you. First I’m joined by Michael Showalter director of THE IDEA OF YOU and after the break I’m joined by  Simon Cellan Jones director of ARTHUR THE KING.  Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea of You centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, an incredibly popular boy band. In ARTHUR THE KING, an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur over the course of a grueling 10-day, 435-mile racecourse. An inspiring story for the whole family based on true events, ARTHUR THE KING follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. Pushing the team to the outer limits of endurance and sacrifice, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty, and friendship truly mean. cellan
