Ghosted's Director Dexter Fletcher Calls Movie One of Those Rare Magic Moments
15Kicking off this summer’s action-packed blockbusters is the Chris Evans and Ana de Armas-led action-comedy, Ghosted, which shakes up the genre by blending romance, spy thriller, and comedy. At the helm of what he calls “one of those rare magic moments,” is Rocketman director, Dexter Fletcher, who Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with about his takeaways from this star-studded production ahead of its streaming release on Apple TV+.
Ghosted begins as a romantic comedy, and, surprisingly, Fletcher tells us that was one of the most challenging aspects of the film. Finding that balance, and maintaining authenticity throughout, was vital to this genre-blending story that sees a new couple’s relationship put to the ultimate test when one of them ends up being a secret agent. Alongside Marvel alum Evans and John Wick newbie, de Armas, Ghosted features some other pretty big names, including Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Tim Blake Nelson.
While discussing the movie, Fletcher digs into what it takes to make something on this scale, full of action sequences, with tight prep time. In his words, “...you never finish, you just run out of time on all aspects of making a film,” and with that in mind, Ghosted's production led to some handy lessons moving forward. During the interview, which you can watch in the video above or read below, Fletcher also talks about the editing process, the outstanding feedback he’s received on the movie, finding the tone, and what he hopes to do next.
