At The Projection Booth Podcast, friend of the Gutter Mike White, Rob Spencer and Rob St. Mary discuss Alex Proyas Dark City. “The conversation covers the film’s three screenplay stages and two finished cuts, the studio-mandated voice-over that Proyas spent a decade trying to undo, and Roger Ebert’s role as the mechanism of the film’s survival. Mike and the Robs also place Dark City within the remarkable 1998–99 cluster of simulated-world films — The Truman Show, The Matrix, eXistenZ, The Thirteenth Floor—and examine what it means that Murdoch’s triumphant ending leaves the city still a construct, still running on hidden machinery, with only the god changed.”
