When I found out a TV adaptation of Cape Fear, one of the best horror movies ever, was getting made, I immediately wondered how it’d pay homage to the films that came before it. Along with that, when I found out Martin Scorsese, who directed the 1991 movie, and Steven Spielberg, who executive produced the film, were EPs on the show, I had to know how they influenced it. So, I asked Nick Antosca about the notes he got from the two legendary directors, and he told me about one I’m very happy he listened to. Nick Antosca, the creator and showrunner of Apple TV’s critically acclaimed Cape Fear, worked with Spielberg and Scorsese on this show because they are all executive producers on it. When I asked him about the notes he got from the Jaws and Goodfellas directors, he recalled one vital one that helped tie this new program back to the movies that came before it.
