Hudson Hawk (1991) with Steven E. de Souza
Manage episode 357178651 series 3454317
Hello! Welcome to another edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes.
For this episode, I’m delighted to welcome back my screenwriting hero and mentor Steven de Souza, who not only wrote some of our all-time favourite action movies – Die Hard, 48 Hours, Commando and, yes, The Running Man – but also several early, formative drafts of the infamous 1991 action-romantic-comedy-trainwreck Hudson Hawk, subsequently rewritten by Daniel Waters and an ad-libbing Bruce Willis.
It's well known that Hudson Hawk went wildly off the rails during production, but whether you love it or loathe it – for me it’s a little from column 'A', a little from column 'B' – it’s fascinating to unpick the story of how Steven’s drafts devolved into the film that crash-landed in cinemas in the summer of 1991.
Steven was an early guest on Rogue Commentary, for our Die Hard episode back in Christmas 2021, and it remains, as you’d expect, our biggest hit. I’m thrilled that he’s come back to join me for a walk through one of cinema’s greatest examples of a curate’s egg.
Thanks to Paul Randles for dedicated research!
