BEHIND THE LENS #513: Featuring David Koepp and Marc Klasfield

About this episode

Debbie Lynn Elias discusses the Oscars and interviews screenwriter David Koepp about his film COLD STORAGE and director Marc Klasfeld about DO NOT ENTER.

First up is screenwriter – and also author – David Koepp talking about his sci-fi thriller COLD STORAGE. You all know who David is. He's the screenwriter behind Jurassic Park, Stir of Echoes, The Mummy, several Indiana Jones movies, Zathura, Death Becomes Her, Carlito's Way, and so many more. Some are original scripts. Many are adaptations of books or novellas from authors like Michael Crichton and Stephen King. But now, with COLD STORAGE, David is adapting his own book! The film stars Liam Neeson, Lesley Manville, Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, and Vanessa Redgrave. Then we go from sci-fi thriller with snark…
