We spoke w/ hitRECordJoe about producing 'Wolfboy and the Everything Factory,' reuniting with Rian Johnson on 'Poker Face,' and filming 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley.'
With the advent of streaming services, this generation of children has been introduced to a wide variety of new programming to grow up with, including Apple TV+'s endearing animated series Wolfboy and the Everything Factory.
Oh, yeah! It was. I really feel like Wolfboy and the Everything Factory is really everything creatively that HitRecord has represented over the years. I just want to say congratulations to you and the whole team for Season 2. GORDON-LEVITT: Yeah, thank you for saying that. That's always been one of my favorite parts of Toff's art as well, is he does that magic trick where he makes something that seems really... It can seem simple or just pretty or funny, but there's an underlying ethos or message or idea. As a father, I have children of my own, and a lot of the stuff that's made for kids to watch lacks that. It's a sort of hyperstimulation.
So when you have a story like the Lord of the Rings or something, and you have a Sauron, who are like dictators, that's an important story to tell. This story is different than that. I love that. I think it's a real stroke of brilliance that Toff and Edward took the story in a different direction. You think Nyx is sort of the big baddy. You think she's going to be like Sauron or Voldemort, but she's not. The Disarrays are not just Orcs.
