Himesh Patel, Aya Cash & Billy Magnussen Discuss Their New Superhero Satire The Franchise
The Franchise is a comic take on the making of a superhero film from many who have seen it firsthand. Its three showrunners—Veep’s Gino Iannucci, Succession writer Jon Brown, and Skyfall director Sam Mendes—boast a collective wealth of blockbuster and comedy experience, ensuring an authentic, if chaotic, take on the making of a franchise film.
Himesh Patel, Aya Cash & Billy Magnussen On The Quirks Of Their Characters In The Franchise “There’s No Denying That Any Film Set Is An Absurd Place To Be” Screen Rant: Himesh, I started off as a set PA, so I look at Daniel as my guiding light. Even though the job has banged him up and tossed him around, he still has this glimmer of hope in him.
It's like she comes in with a little attitude, thinking it's below her, and then realizes like,"Oh no, maybe this is..." I'm a firm believer that art can be created anywhere, given the opportunity, and so she starts to see that there are real artists here who might have the potential to do something she's really passionate about as well. I think she sort of shifts over the season.
Patel Discusses Working With Sam Mendes & Jon Brown Brown & Mendes Were Key To Shaping The Tone Of The Show Himesh, Sam and Jon do such an incredible job of crafting this show. Can you talk about working with them as collaborators? Aya Cash: I think in movie industry, people are going to just love it because it's a celebration of all the people that we never see make the movies, and that's really exciting and fun. But ultimately, this is a workplace comedy. Our workplace is movies, and they always say the more specific you get, the more universal it is. I think we're creating this specific workplace, and people will appreciate how insane it is.
