Doug JonesGUEST
And then five years later, after more credits under my belt and more things, I get this random phone call in 2002.
Doug JonesGUEST
It was the fall of 2002. from Steve Wang, who was a creature designer at a newer shop called Spectral Motion.
Doug JonesGUEST
Hey, Doug, I'm sitting here with the director, and he says he knows you, and we're working on a new movie that he's directing, and can we bring you in tomorrow for a look-see for this character we're developing? Yes.
Doug JonesGUEST
Again, I'm free.
Chris WilliamsHOST

AaronHOST
Uh, and so, uh, Stan Winston and Screaming Mad George came in and started, uh, sculpting and, uh, creating the, the specialized gear and mask and everything, and that's also where, uh, George would, uh, team up with a future collaborator of his, uh, Steve- Steve Wang, who, um, you know, this is just, like, one of the first of many, uh, times that they would do something together.

Chris WilliamsHOST
So all of that was him, and it's just two directors just doing two separate things.

Nicolas RapoldHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jon DieringerGUEST
Uh, there is a incredible direct-to-video action movie from 1997 called Drive by Steve Wang, co-director of Guyver with S- Screaming Mad George.
Jon DieringerGUEST
I remember one of our biggest open rate days was when we featured Drive, and I feel like people were opening the email just to be like, "Why the fuck was ScreenSlate featuring Drive?"
Nicolas RapoldHOST
[laughs]
Jon DieringerGUEST
It's almost like, you know.
Nicolas RapoldHOST
Right.
Jon DieringerGUEST
And the joke was on them because it was the 1997 Steve Wang movie.
Nicolas RapoldHOST
[laughs]

Reneé Hunter VasquezHOST

David
JordanHOST
Hayden pronounces his name Steve Wang.

I'm not going against David.
