Shane Black Trashes Green Screen Overkill, Talks Nice Guys Sequel

Shane Black talks about The Predator in the above video. Aside from that, Black talks about a growing problem in film, the suffocating use of green screen in areas where it isn’t even needed. Asked what he’ll do following The Predator…

Something small. I’m tired of looking at… green screen. You can do it for a while, but the idea of looking at three movies in a row and looking at… ‘Here’s a railing! What is it? It’s some green screen! […] Oh my God we have to imagine all of this?

Asked about a sequel to The Nice Guys, he says…

Dude if you can get the actors on board, I mean that’s the big deal.  […] But you know what I’m blessed, just blessed after 30 fucking years in the business to still be doing this?

Well it doesn’t sound overly likely but maybe we should consider ourselves lucky that we got it at all…
