David Mamet On ‘Henry Johnson’ And New J.K. Rowling-Inspired Play

We start the summer season 2025 from Candle call Podcast with a wide -ranging conversation with a Politzer and Oscar candidate twice. David Mamit.
Mamiti directed a new movie, Henry Johnsonand The first of him in 12 years, based on his plays for the year 2023, which was first shown in Venice, California. Pre -approval, which is self -distributed and available To rent my numberHe follows the title of the title (which is played by Mamit’s son -in -law, Ivan Jongkit), who after helping a friend to get out becomes side effect and collusion in sexual crime affairs. This leads Henry Johnson to prison. He looks forward to the characters of the authority he faces along the way, including his colleague in the cell in the end, Jin (Xia Labov). Henry’s journey leads him to the path of manipulation and moral certainty.
We are talking to Mamit about the origins Henry Johnson, Labov’s wonderful performance (and how Mamitt does not believe in the actors of the style), the state of the animation industry and how the broadcast is killed, and his wisdom when it comes to self -distribution.
“Anyone can make a movie, distribute it, and assume its chances,” says Mamit. “Your chances of seeing that the movie is no less than your chances of going to the offices in Hollywood for 10 years to persuade some of the idiots in your work.”
Also, some time has passed since we saw Mamet Pen a big movie in the studio, ala, previous event films like Ruling, judgment, judgment and Ronin. Why? Well, when the studios want to rent Mamet, they have to follow its rules: “Give me a lot of money and do not hesitate to get this, as I will go to hell, or give me enough money to get the movie, and ask me to offer fees from my managers and left me alone. Both were acceptable. Only one of these things was normal, but both were acceptable.”
We are also talking about the female theater version of Buzzed-About from Glengarry Glen Ross (“We have read a few years ago, Rebika Pedgon played the role of Ricky Rome, and Veliciti Hoffmann Shellley Levin played); his play inspired by Harvey Winstein Bitter wheat And why never reached Broadway (“Broadway became very problematic, and the climax of madness woke up and the idea of doing a comedy about the man who was Liberty, as if Moliere was not present, the thing was not completely the thing), and what he really thought at the airport is not imprisonment now.
Also, what is the following:
“I am writing a play for Rebecca about these two women who need to kill JK Rolling. I am writing a scenario now and I think I may have found some of the suckers to give me some dollars to make it, about two old trust men, who have been disturbed, and they have to resort to some strange measures to take a sign of the mark.”
