The Movie Crypt: Ep 168: Jeff Katz

The Movie Crypt

Hollywood hero Jeff Katz has literally done it all and forever remained “one of us." As a studio executive for New Line Cinema Katz helped bring us FREDDY VS JASON and produced SNAKES ON A PLANE and SHOOT ‘EM UP before accepting a gig at FOX where he helped on WOLVERINE and bringing DEADPOOL into the studio before parting amicably on his own terms. As a writer he brought us such comics as FREDDY VS JASON VS ASH and he is also currently in active development on 10+ screenplays that he wrote including the remake of SLEEPAWAY CAMP. He’s worked for WCW and Ted Turner, he’s headed his very own network with GEEK WEEK, and he started his journey to accomplishing all of this with a simple bet that he made about the premiere of FREDDY’S NIGHTMARES when he was only 8 years old. One of the smartest, well spoken, and spirited guests you’ll ever hear on this program, Katz details his unusual journey through Hollywood in this epic conversation that touches on… well, everything. Literally. It would be impossible to list all of the topics covered in this episode so just hold on and try and keep up while you learn just how the difficult decisions are made behind the coveted Hollywood curtain. Note: This episode was recorded back on July 17, 2016.
