DB Weiss is now dealing with something quite different from dragons

DB Weiss entered this project under a lot of pressure after his work on the hit series game of thrones. This film marks his first major project with Netflix after signing a lucrative deal with the streamer. As a coming-of-age story about teenage rockers, it’s very different from what Weiss got used to when crafting the story for something like the thrones series. Notably, grounding this new story in reality was the biggest change.

“If you’re dealing with reality, it’s so much easier to be wrong,” says producer DB Weiss, who adapted game of thrones for HBO with David Benioff. “Nobody can really say, ‘Nobody would ever have these shoes in Westeros,’ because there’s no Westeros. If something doesn’t work, you can’t say that a giant visual effects extravaganza will arrive in five minutes to wipe their memory of this scene.These giant, horrible and wonderful man-made creations are not here to save you.


He added: “The thing you had to believe that didn’t totally make sense at the time was that kids who were heavily invested in rock music would be outliers as far as kids are in this movie. What happened unintentionally in the years between, that part of the story was starting to make more and more sense and that kind of music was moving further and further away from the mainstream.” Hunter now feels like “a weird, aberrant dinosaur” to Weiss, but it’s a testament to his lifelong love of metal.

metal lords will premiere on Netflix on April 8, 2022.
