Episode notes
We speak with Tom Hanks and co-writer Christopher Riley about their new show chronicling the Apollo missions of the ‘60s: The Moonwalkers. They tell us why they chose Lightroom in London as the venue for the show and how original footage from the moon was remastered to create the visuals. Plus, Andy Saunders, the man who remastered original footage from the missions explains how he did it. In this episode:
- How the idea for the show was born
- Tom explains his ‘fascination’ with the ‘60s moon landings
- Why the Lightroom venue is uniquely positioned to tell the story
- How original Apollo footage was frozen in liquid nitrogen to protect it
- What to expect from The Moonwalkers
