Episode 419: Minority Report (2002)

We conclude our back to back discussions of Philip K Dick adaptations with a look at 2002’s Minority Report. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film was originally set as a sequel to Total Recall (1990). It's the story the chief of pre-crime (Tom Cruise) -- a unit of the police that uses psychics to arrest people before they commit the crimes they are predicted to do. When he's fingered for an impending murder of a man he doesn't even know, things get complicated.

Tim and Corinne Luz of the Cinemaspection podcast join Mike to discuss the film. Screenwriter Scott Frank talks about his work on the film as well as his work on The Wolverine, Logan, The Lookout, Hoke, and more.
