Filmmaker Alex Scharfman joins Popcorn Podcast to talk monster movie with a twist Death of a Unicorn, starring Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, Will Poulter, Richard E Grant and Téa Leoni. In the film, Scharfman explores the mythical world of unicorns within a modern setting, blending sci-fi, horror and family drama to create a must-see directorial debut with DNA rooted in cult classics from icons including Ridley Scott, John Carpenter, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. In our chat, Scharfman shares how he flipped the script on preconceived ideas of unicorns, how improvisation played a key role and a special story about Adam Sandler.
