Baltasar Kormákur segir frá ótrúlegum tímum 18 ára gamall á búgarði í Arizona, hvernig hann tók skrefið úr leiklistinni yfir í leikstjórnina og hefur aldrei beðist afsökunar á því að ganga vel, að taka ekki fyrsta boðinu inn í Hollywood með tilheyrandi lífsstíl og neyslu, hvernig Mýrin varð farmiðinn hans til Hollywood, að leikstýra stærstu kvikmyndastjörnum heims og að leyfa þeim að komast ekki um með neina stæla, áhættuatriði og hughreystingar við tökur á Djúpinu með Ólafi Darra, að leyfa ekki bransafókinu að ráðskast með sig, sálfræðitímar til að kynnast sjálfum sér og að gefa upp áfengi til að lifa lífinu til fulls.

#135 - Baltasar Kormákur

Við hringjum til Suður Afríku og ræðum við Baltasar Kormák, kvikmyndaleikstjóra. Hann er þar staddur við tökur á kvikmyndinni Beast með Idris Elba í aðalhlutverki. Á sama tíma er verið að frumsýna eitthvað stærsta sjónvarpsverkefni íslandssögunnar, náttúruvísindafantasíuna Kötlu, sem Baltasar á heiðurinn af. Baltasar ræðir einnig  um vísindi og þjóðtrú, Hollywood og íslenskan-kvikmyndaiðnað.

9: Baltasar Kormákur talks Adrift, plus Sicario 2 and Leave No Trace get the once over

Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormakur’s new film ‘Adrift’ documents the harrowing survival tale of a couple stranded by a massive storm in the Pacific in the early 80’s. On this episode of ‘Binge Talking’, we delve into how the film, which stars Shailene Woodley, perfectly illustrates how many amazing stories have yet to be told simply because they weren't told from the perspective of a male lead character. We also dive into why he is not on social media and how achieving financial success as an actor and director makes him the black sheep of his artistic family.
