Geekscape Focus: Filmmaker Petr Jákl Talks 'Medieval'!
Manage episode 340479014 series 2151326
Czechoslovakian Petr Jákl has lived two different lives! First he was an Olympic level Judokan. That led to being a stuntman in films like Vin Diesel's 'XXX'. That gave him the filmmaking bug, resulting in his first two Czech films. Now he's back with 'Medieval', starring Ben Foster and Michael Caine and telling the story of legendary Czech military commander Jan Žižka during the 1400s. We talk about the cultural importance of telling Žižka's story, the challenges of making it during the pandemic and how he let other historical epics like 'Braveheart' and 'The Last Samurai' guide him through the process! Enjoy!
