Blake Crouch

Dark Matter author, screenwriter, and showrunner Blake Crouch was more than familiar with Cormac McCarthy's bleak but beloved novel No Country for Old Men by the time the Coen brothers adapted it for the big screen. Even still, those dang Coens blew his expectations out of the water. On this episode of The Spark Parade, Crouch gushes about the film No Country for Old Men.

Crouch talks about the film adaptation's bold choices, like eschewing a traditional score and downplaying the use of dialogue, as well as how such decisions helped elevate the film's visceral impact. Crouch has since drawn inspiration from the Coen brothers' artistic fearlessness, especially when it comes to adapting the written word, as is the case for his new Apple TV+ series Dark Matter.
