Geekscape 481: Dean Devlin Celebrates His Independence With Us!

I've gotta admit that I was pretty nervous sitting down withs Dean Devlin, writer and producer of tentpole films like 'Independence Day', 'Stargate' and 'Godzilla' and producer of TNT hits like 'Leverage' and 'The Librarians'. But I think things smoothed out pretty quickly as we started talking about Dean's new directorial effort 'Bad Samaritan', starring Robert Sheehan and David Tennant. The film is out this week and Dean is quick to talk about the film being a completely independent production and about his long history with (and without) the Hollywood studios. Among some of the highlights are his opinion of modern film criticism, whether or not last year's 'Geostorm' was a mistake and his relationship with filmmaker Roland Emmerich. Also, what are the things that attracted him most to putting 'Bad Samaritan' together the way he wanted! There's a lot to digest here, Geekscapists, so enjoy!
