We spoke w/ rolandemmerich about Moonfall, the challenging vfx shots, how he figured out the ending, what surprised him about working with John Bradley & how he’s still trying to make ‘Maya Lord.’
With Moonfall arriving in theaters this weekend, the other day I got to speak with director Roland Emmerich about his latest disaster movie. During the interview, Emmerich talked about why people love watching end of the world movies and TV shows, the way he balances using real science with movie magic, what were the VFX shots they struggled with inside the moon, what surprised him about working with John Bradley, and more.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY If you haven’t seen the Moonfall trailer, or the first five minutes of the movie, the film tells the story of an unlikely team of individuals who are tasked with saving the Earth when the moon is knocked off its orbit by a mysterious force and comes hurtling towards earth. Moonfall also stars Michael Peña, Donald Sutherland, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak, and Charlie Plummer. The script was written by Emmerich, Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen.
