Barbara Muschietti Instagram – Barbara Muschietti is the phenomenal producer behind IT Chapter One & Two (combined $1.17B worldwide), The Flash, and the new Max series IT: Welcome to Derry.
We actually met 6 years ago during my early podcast grind when I cold-emailed Barbara inviting her on the show. She said yes! She invited me to the Warner Brothers lot, to her office, and generously gave me almost 3 hours of her time. It was a real turning point for me and the show.
The world, and certainly Hollywood, has changed tremendously since then.
Full disclosure: we recorded this mere days before the audacious news that Netflix won the bid to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery.
Five years later, we’re back. Barbara opens up about “pushing a very, very heavy boulder” aka the reality of making movies even as an established producer with billions in box office success. She talks about The Flash making $300 million worldwide and still being considered a disappointment. She gets raw about what she learned producing nine hours of IT: Welcome to Derry with child actors during the strikes.
We also dig into the LA production crisis, why she still takes a photo of the Warner lot water tower every single morning, and she’s terrified we might lose it.
