Cinematographer Tom Sigel joins the podcast to talk about filming the 1995 cult classic THE USUAL SUSPECTS. 

Tom takes us back through his first meetings with director Bryan Singer and their collaboration on the filming style.  We also discuss the locations in San Pedro on the ship and at the old Harold Examiner Building for the interrogation scenes.  Tom talks about his collaboration with art designer Howard Cummings and the importance of that relationship in a movie.  We also discuss the stars, filming the famous line-up scene, and the legacy of the movie. Then Tom explains the color-correction and restoration process for the 4K release from Kino Lorber.

We wrap up our discussion with a short reflection on Tom’s work with Bryan Singer on 2018’s "Bohemian Rhapsody," 2011’s stylish “Drive,” and the Netflix release in 2020 of the international action film “Extraction.”
