In the film, ‘Supercon,’ a rag-tag group of former television stars and comic book artists, who make their living working at conventions, decide to steal the loot from a crooked promoter and an overbearing television icon. We sat down with Zak Knutson, director of ‘Milius,’ ‘Marvel 75 Years,’ and ‘Marvel’s Captain America,’ to talk about his new comedy, ‘Supercon.’ In the interview, the filmmaker discusses the importance of making movies just to make people laugh, making a pop culture movie within complex copyright laws, improv with comedians, how John Milius influenced his work, working with Kevin Smith, and how the core idea behind Supercon came from a real robbery.
