Rod Lurie Part 2: 'The Outpost'

Welcome back to the show! Please check out <a href="https://bulwarkhollywood.thebulwark.com/p/rod-lurie-on-breaking-into-the-biz">last week&#8217;s episode</a> if you missed it; Rod Lurie (The Contender, The Last Castle) had a ton of great stories about transitioning from the Army to the world of film criticism to the world of filmmaking. This week we talked about shooting The Outpost: the difficulty of bringing such a sensitive story to the big screen and trying to decide what to cut and what to keep; shooting the film in Bulgaria; and casting actors like Caleb Landry Jones and Scott Eastwood in key roles.
