Colby Day wrote the screenplay for ‘Spaceman’, the Netflix film premiering earlier this year at Berlinale. Colby was kind enough to feature on our podcast and discuss his background and future, while of course covering many aspects of writing Spaceman.
Among other topics, he told Szilveszter about his theatre roots, what kind of writing process he used, how he adapted Jaroslav Kalfar’s book to the screen, and delved into the relationships of the main character, Jakub, portrayed by Adam Sandler.
The 3-hour long first draft, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the soothing voice of Paul Dano are also on the table in this episode.
