Interview: ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Cinematographer Mahlon Todd Williams

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow burst onto The CW in January, 2016 – a spinoff of a spinoff (Arrow – The Flash – LoT). These time-traveling legends were tasked by Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) with capturing the evil Vandal Savage. The series, which also currently stars Victor Garber, Franz Drameh, Caity Lotz, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell, and Brandon Routh, is just bunches of fun in time-traveling giftwrap.
What strikes one most about this series, are the settings in which our heroes spiral through. That magic is spun by the equally legendary cinematography duo of David Geddes and Mahlon Todd Williams. I got the unique opportunity to speak with Mahlon last week about filming in Vancouver, how he got started, and what it’s like filming this crazy, superhero, legendary, time-traveling show.
Check out the interview below.

Last week on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, they ran into The Justice Society of America in 1942. And by “ran into” I mean “got captured by.” Nate Haywood (Nick Zano) was giddy because he met his grandfather, Commander Steel (Matthew MacCaull), and tried to prove the familial connection through his dog-tags, and personal stories. We saw two of our favorite presently dead villains in the past, Eobard Thawne and Damian Darhk (Matt Letscher and Neal McDonough), in cahoots with each other and the Nazis, for nukes and a super serum. Sarah (Caity Lotz) tried to kill Darhk to prevent Laurel’s death, and Thawne ended up killing Rex Tyler (Patrick J. Adams), spurring Vixen (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) to blame Mick (Dominic Purcell).

Air Date: Thursday, October 20th, 2016, 8:00pm
Last week’s 2nd season premiere of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow began as all things should… with Stephen Amell. Sigh… Nick Zano‘s Dr. Nate Haywood, historian, completed the handsome party, when he went to Oliver Queen for help in finding the legends. Apparently, the Waverider was destroyed by a nuclear bomb. They find the ship, but only Mick (Dominic Purcell) aboard in stasis. Mick told them the story of the last mission. Damian Darhk did it. So happy that Neal McDonough is back! Darhk was working with the Nazis and set it off. Rip ended up scattering the crew and leaving Mick in suspension.
Spoilers below.

TV Review: Minority Report 1.10 “Everybody Runs”

Minority Report
Season 1 Episode 10: “Everybody Runs”

FOX
Air Date: Monday, November 30th, 2015, 9pm
Is losing three lives worth saving thousands? Director Blomfeld (Reed Diamond) would say so. There is a terrorist group, Memento Mori, planning something big and Hawk-Eye, the prized “predictive policing” program isn’t cutting it. His plan is to reinstate pre-crime, and lock the pre-cogs back in a bigger, better milkbath. He knows they’re out there; they nearly caught Agatha (Laura Regan) and with Lt. Blake (Wilmer Valderrama) now in the know about Dash’s real identity, it seems only a matter of time before Agatha’s vision comes true.
Spoilers for the finale below.

TV Review: Minority Report 1.8 “American Dream”

Minority Report
Season 1 Episode 8: “American Dream”
Directed by Adam Kane
Created by Max Borenstein
Starring Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Wilmer Valderrama, Nick Zano, Daniel London, Laura Regan, Zhane Hall, Li Jun Li, Reed Diamond
FOX
Air Date: Monday, November 16th, 2015, 9pm
On the last episode of Minority Report, Arthur’s underworld tidings got Dash (Stark Sands) in hot water, and landed him one finger short… until it was futuristically reattached. Arthur (Nick Zano) had some flirty moments with Vega (Meagan Good), even though she was pissed at him. The problem is that Agatha (Laura Regan) has been having visions of Vega betraying them, and them ending up back in the pre-cog milkbath. This week will go a long way towards finding out if that is the reality, as Lt. Blake (Wilmer Valderrama) finds out the truth about Dash.
Spoilers below.

Minority Report
Season 1 Episode 7: “Honor Among Thieves”

Written by Sean Hennen
Created by Max Borenstein
Starring Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Wilmer Valderrama, Nick Zano, Daniel London, Laura Regan, Zhane Hall, Li Jun Li, Reed Diamond
FOX
Air Date: Monday, November 2nd, 2015, 9pm
Last week on Minority Report, we delved into the pre-cogs’ post pre-crime past on the island of Fiddler’s Neck. Agatha (Laura Regan) is still seeing vision of betrayal where her and her psychic twin brothers end up back in a government milkbath. Dash (Stark Sands) is convinced Detective Lara Vega (Meagan Good) will never turn on him, while the wildcard here is Arthur (Nick Zano) whose allegiance appears up for bids most of the time. It’s Arthur who creates the big problems on this week’s episode. There is also some shady behind the stage dealings going on. Lt. Blake (Wilmer Valderrama) is offered a DIA (Defense Intelligence Agency) job and his vetting process may give away Dash’s involvement in the success of Hawk-Eye, the new predictive policing program.
Spoilers below.

Minority Report
Season 1 Episode 6: “Fiddler’s Neck”

Written by Matt McGuiness
Created by Max Borenstein
Starring Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Wilmer Valderrama, Nick Zano, Daniel London, Laura Regan, Zhane Hall, Li Jun Li, Reed Diamond
FOX
Air Date: Monday, October 26th, 2015, 9pm
Over the past two weeks, we’ve delved deeper in the mindsets of the our main characters. First Dash (Stark Sands) fell in love with a murder suspect and had to talk her down; last week Lara Vega (Meagan Good) came face to face with her dad’s killer and barely kept things under control. This week we get a peek into the mysterious island where the pre-cog siblings grew up after pre-crime was ended. Agatha (Laura Regan) still lives on Fiddler’s Neck Island, away from the chaos of city life. Arthur (Nick Zano) meanwhile has been an uneasy accomplice to Dash and Vega in helping prevent murders. When Agatha gets a vision of her old flame’s daughter dying, she calls in reinforcement… which is bit strange being as she’s been trying to convince her brothers that Vega is working against them.
“You think Agatha is shaken up now… just wait” Arthur warns Dash about Vega’s involvement.
Spoilers below.

TV Review: Minority Report 1.5 “The Present”

 |

Minority Report
Season 1 Episode 5: “The Present”
Directed by David Straiton
Written by Shalisha Francis
Created by Max Borenstein
Starring Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Wilmer Valderrama, Nick Zano, Daniel London, Laura Regan, Zhane Hall, Li Jun Li
FOX
Air Date: Monday, October 19th, 2015, 9pm
Last week, Dash (Stark Sands) gained a lot of personality, as he connected with suspected victim, later suspect Fredi (Sheila Vand). He had to talk her down at the end from getting revenge on the preppy jerk who killed her sister. Detective Lara Vega (Meagan Good) is having trouble keeping her working relationship with a precog a secret. Already her partner Akeela (Li Jun Li) knows. Lt. Blake (Wilmer Valderrama) is close to figuring things out. And of course, Dash’s precog siblings are none too thrilled of his involvement in police work. Agatha (Laura Regan) has her own secrets. She was able to obtain stolen files to a new “milkbath” in development. She’s way too nervous and confident at the same time… much more than meets the eye there. Tonight’s Minority Report episode premiered at NYCC last weekend and it’s a doozy. We’ve learned that Vega wanted to follow in father’s footsteps. Now as the episode opens, we watch her father walking his beat, 8-months before pre-crime when he’s gunned down in the rain… and in the background, a certain eyeless man, fans of the film might remember!
Spoilers below.
