John Bradley on Moonfall and the Scope and Ambition of The Three-Body Problem Series at Netflix

With director Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall now playing in theaters, I got to speak with John Bradley about making the movie.

Moonfall also stars Michael Peña, Donald Sutherland, Kelly Yu, Eme Ikwuakor, Carolina Bartczak, and Charlie Plummer. The script was written by Emmerich, Harald Kloser, and Spenser Cohen.
