Bad Boys For Life at the loft!
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah take time out of their packed schedule to talk to Dominique Nzeyimana about their latest immersive theatrical film release 'REBEL'. The three examine creating art at the intersection of culture, religion and race but still making it pop.
Known as ‘Adil & Bilall’, the pair have made seismic waves & major box office gold with their big, bold films that don’t flinch in the face of explosive action. From Brussels film school to Marvel to Disney to Netflix, they’re the blueprint of undeniable talent meeting hard graft & manifestation.
Together with your host, the duo discuss why they make the movies they do & how they knew they were ready to make ‘REBEL’ – in theatres now – as well as the major career shifts that made the timing right for it to come out. They explore the poignant portrayal of motherhood & family themes in the movie, writing convincing & complex Muslim characters and how the MCU cleared the path for them to deep-dive into character work.
Hear all about what it meant making ‘Bad Boys For Life’ happen & pivotal lessons from Will Smith and Jerry Bruckheimer.
