Bold Samurai Western TORNADO by John Maclean, the provocative DYING FOR SEX with director Shannon Murphy, and blockbuster insights from editor Eddie Hamilton

In this second part of Mark Kermode Live in 3D, Mark is joined by director Shannon Murphy, who discusses Dying For Sex—a powerful and provocative television series based on a true story, starring Michelle Williams.

Mark also talks with filmmaker John Maclean about Tornado, a bold and genre-defying Samurai western set in 18th Century Scotland, and with acclaimed editor Eddie Hamilton, who shares behind-the-scenes insights from cutting high-octane blockbusters like the Mission: Impossible films.

This episode was recorded live at BFI Southbank on 19 May 2025 as the second half of that evening’s Mark Kermode Live in 3D show.
