Pictures<\/p>\n<p>Production is underway in Atlanta on DC Studios\u2019 \u201cSuperman\u201d live-action spin-off series \u201cThe People vs. Gorilla Grodd\u201d and so far there\u2019s a lot of appreciation over the eight-episode series adopting a practical suit with animatronics.<\/p>\n<p>Photos and videos have shown a series that seems to be embracing the tone of its crime-mystery-comedy series that sees Skyler Gisondo\u2019s Jimmy Olsen and others at the Daily Planet reopenning a famous Metropolis murder case where Grodd was potentially wrongly convicted of killing his father, the King of Gorilla City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerican Vandal\u201d co-creators Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda on board to write, executive produce and serve as showrunners and are said to be bringing that show\u2019s sensibility to bear here. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking with <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/superman-spin-off-jimmy-olsen-the-people-v-gorilla-grodd-dcu-skyler-gisondo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Collider<\/a> while promoting Lance Oppenheim\u2019s new film \u201cPrimetime,\u201d Gisondo discussed about how the DCU series is different to almost anything else in the genre:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis show, especially, is so fun because I\u2019ve never seen anything like it \u2013 the idea of a mockumentary set in a superhero world. Tony [Yacenda] and Dan [Perrault] are such masters.<\/p>\n<p>I was such an enormous fan of American Vandal, and so to be working with these guys whose work I love, I think this show is going to be a very unique angle on all of this stuff, and very unexpected in some way, and we\u2019re having a blast.\\<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot of verit\u00e9 stuff. It always feels very alive. We\u2019re filming courthouse sequences where it\u2019s just the CCTV cams, so it feels like a play. We\u2019re just running through. So it\u2019s been really fun. We\u2019re only a little ways into it, so hopefully it turns out alright.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old actor stars alongside Beck Bennett, Mikaela Hoover and Wendell Pierce repriseing their Superman roles. Mary Holland, Eduardo Franco, Arian Moayed, Andrew Leeds and Tim Baltz also star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warner Bros.
