"Nickel Boys" had its world premiere at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival, where it received enthusiastic reviews from critics who praised writer and director RaMell Ross's adaptation of Colson Whitehead's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the cinematography by Jomo Fray, the score by Alex Somers and Scott Alario and the performances from the entire cast. The film has gone on to be nominated for the Independent Spirit Award, Gotham Award, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice Award for Best Picture. The Next Best Picture team was lucky enough to speak with some people involved in the making of the film. First up, we have Dan Bayer's interview with director and writer RaMell Ross, followed by my conversation with stars Ethan Herisse and Brandon Wilson, followed by Giovanni Lago's interview with cinematographer Jomo Fray and then ending with my talk with the film's composers Alex Somers and Scott Alario. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in select theaters from Amazon MGM Studios and is up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards in all eligible categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography. Thank you, and enjoy!
