Ep 431: Ryan Silbert

The Movie Crypt

PUBLIC VERSION. Writer, producer, and creator Ryan Silbert (Stan Lee’s ALLIANCES: A TRICK OF LIGHT, ALLIANCES: A NEW REALITY, THE GIRL IS IN TROUBLE, the upcoming film adaptation of Stephen King’s THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to share his career journey so far. From his start producing, writing, and directing countless short films… to producing features like the Wilmer Valderrama starring THE GIRL IS IN TROUBLE… to bringing the late Stan Lee’s ALLIANCES to vivid aural life as a hugely successful and New York Times best-selling Audible Original… to his writing work on this year’s incredible audio thriller THE COLDEST CASE (featuring Aaron Paul, Alexis Bledel, Nathalie Emmanuel, Krysten Ritter, Beau Bridges, and more) and all that goes into story telling through sound only… to what it’s like working with “ghosts” and the pressures that come with bringing to life the revered voices and imprints of the late Stan Lee and the late George A. Romero (who had been set to direct the film adaptation of THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON for many years before his death)… this conversation is one hell of a candid geek out between three working creatives. Dr. Arwen provides “Hollywood Therapy” for a listener concerned with setting up their finances for retirement, Adam shares why his newfound excitement for writing novels may be short lived, and the group discusses what it’s like telling science fiction/fantasy/horror stories that comment on human society during these unprecedented times when society can’t even seem to agree on reality.
