Episode 4: Creating Family Dynamics in Those About To Die
It’s hard enough to write a character people connect with. But what about one based off of a real person, who lived nearly 2000 years ago in one of the most well-documented time periods in history? There’s just a staggering amount to get wrong. But there’s also so much to get right… to take what we know and build off of it.
On Episode 4 of Rise or Die, host Dana Swartz (Noble Blood) talks to series creator and executive producer Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan). They talk about power and ambition, giving your characters life-and-death stakes, and how family dynamics are essential to the drama in Those About To Die. This episode also features a conversation with actors Joco Macari and Tom Hughes about working with actor Anthony Hopkins, who plays their father, and historical consultant Justin Pollard.
