Alan Cerny talks to  Wyatt Russell, Iain De Caestecker & John Magaro about their new film Overlord.  They chat about intense boot camp to get ready for their roles, and the nostalgia Overlord instills with it's choice to use practical special effects in abundance.

Overlord makes no bones about what it is – this is an A-list budgeted movie with a B-movie heart. It knows exactly what it wants to do, and takes itself seriously (even when the movie commits to how goofy it can get). One wink or nudge to its audience, and the balloon gets popped, and to its credit, Overlord never once does that, which makes it much more fun and exciting. The movie throws us straight into it from the opening titles, reminiscent of all those great war films of old, and sprints to the finish line for most of its running time. Overlord also embraces every war movie cliche like a mom to her kids at Thanksgiving, but we don’t mind. The characters, with few exceptions, are straight out of the playbook for these kinds of things, but the actors are having such a good time that it becomes infectious. Why does Overlord work as well as it does? For one thing, director Julius Avery shoots this thing like he’s being chased. The opening action sequence riffs off of every recent war movie from the past twenty years, but Avery keeps it exciting and intense. He also doesn’t spare the gore – bodies explode with meaty abandon, and the blood and viscera spray like the theater’s on fire. The intensity doesn’t let up, either. Avery, with screenwriters Billy Ray and Mark Smith, are having too much fun smashing genres together to let any distractions get in the way. Overlord is the kind of movie that they put 11 on the volume controls for.
