NAPOLEON DYNAMITE'S 20th Anniversary: How a Movie No One Believed In Became a Cult Classic
from Hollywood Gold
Producer Sean Covel details the making of 2004's surprise box office smash NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. In contrast to the poppy, feel-good films of the early 2000s, Sean saw genius in the offbeat humor of the film's unlikely hero. Despite being difficult to cast with the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, Jack Black, and Bruce Campbell all passing on the project, the filmmakers eventually found movie magic and a standing ovation at Sundance. After grossing $45 million at the box office, the film remains a cult classic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
