In the second half of our interview with John we dive into some of his crazier films
John tells us how he gained the nickname “Congo Blue Leonetti” on Tales from the Crypt, his inspiration for the in-stair lighting for Cameron Diaz in The Mask, how he popped a 16mm lens on a snorkel in Detroit Rock City, lighting big budget sets on The Scorpion King, how network TV wasn’t ready for The River, and how much fun his crew had on the set of Piranha 3D.
