Ned Benson's (The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby) 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 (Bohemian Rhapsody), Justin Min (The Umbrella Academy), and Austin Crute (Booksmart), this is a romantic drama with a genre twist: Harriet (Boynton) discovers she can time travel when she hears the right song from her past.
Ahead of the movie's premiere on Hulu, Collider hosted an early screening of The Greatest Hits, where Benson, Min, and Crute sat down with our own Steve Weintraub for an extended Q&A. During their conversation, Benson shares his own experience on set with Corenswet, and his reaction to finding out the actor would be donning the cape in James Gunn's (Guardians of the Galaxy) upcoming Superman. They discuss filming on location throughout LA, their favorite spots, the crucial role music played from conception to screen, and working with Quentin Tarantino's (Pulp Fiction) music consultant, Mary Ramos (Kill Bill), on the playlist.
Check out the full interview in the video above, or in the transcript below, for how Crute made his Hollywood break in Donald Glover's (Mr. & Mrs. Smith) series Atlanta, Min's tease for The Umbrella Academy Season 4, and tons more.
