EP 44 | Ilya Naishuller, Director ('Nobody', 'Hardcore Henry')

Soundstage Access

What a treat to speak with Ilya Naishuller, a Russian filmmaker whose credits include HARDCORE HENRY and NOBODY (starring Bob Odenkirk as a kick-ass action star). In today’s conversation, Ilya and I discuss a wide range of topics: how directing a music video that went viral led him to receive a fully-financed offer to make his first feature film; how that film became Hardcore Henry, an indie videogame-like film experience shot as a first-shooter for $ 2 MILLION; a deep-dive discussion on Ilya’s new movie Nobody—from the 2-year training Bob Odenkirk went through to physically prepare for the role, to working with 87Eleven and directing the iconic bus fight in the film. All of this... and much more! Make sure you subscribe to Soundstage Access on your favorite podcast platform so you can share your favorite episodes with your friends.
