Ned Benson's latest movie, The Greatest Hits, is a romantic drama with a genre twist, starring David Corenswet as Superman. The director shares his experience working with Corenswet and discusses the actor's upcoming role as Superman in James Gunn's film.
The Big Picture Ned Benson 's latest movie, The Greatest Hits , explores more of the writer-director's favored themes of "dealing with loss and relationships and love," in what he calls a love letter to Los Angeles . Starring the DCU's new Superman , David Corenswet , Lucy Boynton , Justin Min , and Austin Crute , this is a romantic drama with a genre twist : Harriet discovers she can time travel when she hears the right song from her past.
Release Date April 12, 2024 Director Ned Benson Cast Lucy Boynton , David Corenswet , Justin H. Min , Retta , Andie Ju Runtime 94 Minutes Main Genre Comedy Writers Ned Benson Distributor Searchlight Pictures COLLIDER: I am a huge, huge fan of the time travel genre, so this is my kind of film. I'm all in, but before we get into this, I have a few individual questions. Ned, I'm gonna start with you. You made a film that you can watch multiple ways.
Austin, a lot of people don't realize that your first television appearance was on Atlanta playing the Black Justin Bieber. I'm just curious, when did you realize, “Oh, a lot of people are watching this show,” how did you get your break on Atlanta? CRUTE: I don't know about a movie. I'll say a show, and I don't even know if this counts, but Heroes. Heroes was the first time that I ever actually sat down and watched something week to week to week, and made sure that I was at the TV. Now it's like more streaming, but that was absolutely the first time that time travel was like, “Okay, this is it.”
The Book That Inspired 'The Greatest Hits' What was it about this story that said, “I wanna make this?” For the stars of the film, for each of you, what was it about this project that said, “Oh, I'm really excited to be a part of this?” CRUTE: I mean, for me, it's like, “Whatever happens, happens.” Once you get it, you got in it. You memorize it and then you show up and get a little crafty, and then it's time to go. That's how I approach it.
Then you have your heartbreak, because there are a few songs I was like, “Oh, I want a Prince song,” and she's like, “No. Not gonna happen.” So I was like, “Okay, fine.” But I do feel really lucky with what we did get, and a lot of it was a wishlist. We were sharing a lot of playlists before the movie in pre-production, making character playlists for each of these guys and the whole team, and got a lot of music going back and forth.
MIN: I would say the scene that I was most terrified about, and I think Lucy would agree with me, was the karaoke scene. We were terrified of doing that. We didn't really practice it because we didn't want to practice it, so what you see on screen is really kind of our first time really doing that. There wasn't a lot of acting involved there. It was us being incredibly embarrassed and terrified, and that song is so hard to sing. I don't know why you made us do that song.
'The Greatest Hits' Is a Love Letter to Los Angeles You shot all over LA. What is a location or a place you got to film at that most people don't know about, besides the Sears Building, that you would say to people who live in LA, “You’ve got to scope this out.” I'm fascinated by the editing process. Who did you show the film to in the rough stages for honest feedback, and what did you hear from them that impacted the finished film?
Listen, there's a lot of competition for eyeballs, and I do think that if you're a fan of Superman and you want to see his work, hey, there's an example right here. No, it totally does. For your actors, I'm always curious about how an actor prepares for a role. Both of your roles are so radically different, and I'm curious for each of you, how early on before you stepped on set were you really thinking about the script, how you wanted to play it? If you could just take me through how you get ready for a role, specifically this one?
