Interview: Cloudy Writers/Directors Phil Lord & Chris Miller
September 18, 2009
by Brandon Lee Tenney
Sitting down with both Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the co-writers and co-directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was a real pleasure. Their distinct and pervasive love for cinema is immediately apparent. Their love for creating stories that are just a bit obtuse helped them to create the TV series Clone High and then write for How I Met Your Mother. And after six years, Cloudy is finally coming out in theatres everywhere. Below, you can listen in as we talked a bit about their inspirations, the process of adapting a childrens' story, and what it's like to direct and collaborate with over five hundred people.
Watch our Cloudy interview with writers and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller:
This was Brandon's very first interview for the site. You can read his full review of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs here. We hope you enjoyed this interview with Phil and Chris, and make sure to look out for both of them in the future. Their voices will be around for a while, that's for sure. Sony's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs arrives in both 3D and regular 2D theaters this weekend (including IMAX) - go see it! The voice cast includes Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Mr. T, Neil Patrick Harris, Bobb'e J. Thompson, and a special cameo from Bruce Campbell. You can find more filmmaker interviews right here.
