Michael Shannon & James Vanderbilt: The Craft of Directing and Acting the "Nuremberg" Trials
Wednesday, 19 November, 2025
From Zodiac to Nuremberg: James Vanderbilt's Masterclass in Psychological Conflict. Welcome back to The Filmmakers Podcast, the place where we talk to the world’s most dynamic directors and actors about how they get films made! This week, we have an absolute heavyweight episode for you. We are diving deep into history with the new psychological thriller, Nuremberg. Joining hosts Dom Lenoir and Conor Boru are the film’s writer and director, James Vanderbilt, and the incredible, Oscar-nominated actor, Michael Shannon. They’ll reveal the 13-year fight to bring the story of the infamous Nazi trials to the screen, the craft behind playing the unflinching US Chief Prosecutor, and the moral weight of balancing entertainment with historical trauma. This is a powerful, unmissable conversation about truth, justice, and the very nature of evil. Let's get to it! The new film Nuremberg is a high-profile historical drama, and the combination of Michael Shannon (an actor known for intense, committed roles) and James Vanderbilt (a writer-director with major credits like Zodiac and Truth) is fantastic.
