Director - Doug Liman (2011) - a podcast by Matt Feury

Director - Doug Liman

Director Doug Liman sat down with us at his NYC office in 2011 to discuss his early beginnings in the film business as well as his thoughts on; film school, editing and "making it" in Hollywood.

Doug Liman is known for directing the films; SWINGERS (1996), GO (1999), THE BOURNE IDENTITY (2002), MR. AND MRS. SMITH (2007), JUMPER (2008), FAIR GAME (2010), EDGE OF TOMORROW (2014), CHAOS WALKING (2021).

Doug is currently in production on a remake of the Patrick Swayze classic, ROAD HOUSE.  A sequel to EDGE OF TOMORROW is also rumored to be in the works.

In our discussion with director Doug Liman we talk about:

• Life before SWINGERS
• Whether anyone ever really "makes it" in Hollywood
• The merits of film school
• Knowing how to use an NLE vs knowing how to edit
