So, we appreciate the brotherhood of friendship like that.
Then about six months later, I did a speech and happened to be coincidentally with Tom Brady.
‘The Dynasty: New England Patriots’ and Brian GrazerApple TV+/Brian Grazer
So, ended up meeting these two guys within the same year.
DEADLINE:Oh yeah.
This is all great.
And I said, you know, Id love to do it, and youve got a great team.
And thats how it came down.
And then Matt came from directing the docTigerand even though he was young and hadnt done it before.
And thats just how the whole group of us came together.
DEADLINE:The access is … its hard not to compare it toThe Last Danceand Michael Jordan.
But Kraft embraces the truth on everything and thats Bobs value.
Its like, tell the truth, be a good person.
Those are the kind of people I like to be around.
You know, hes all about character and the truth.
I really see how he was so central in a winning dynasty, you know?
DEADLINE:So, Roger Goodell actually going on camera was wild.
It was pretty surprising to see him show up.
GRAZER: Oh, yes.
DEADLINE:Theres so much material to cover.
Im kind of curious, was there a vision early on of what you wanted to focus on?
There are elements left out for instance the Peyton Manning/Brady rivalry wasnt mentioned.
Were you happy with everything that was covered?
I thought we kept it pretty tight, and that was our goal.
I mean, I was riveted.
DEADLINE:Was there anything that truly surprised you?
Because that was a kind of devastating event to say the least.
GRAZER: I do.
What is it about real-life stories that is so compelling to you, Imagine and your partners?
GRAZER:For me I only read nonfiction, so I always gravitate to real worlds.
And so, that has reverberation of power and weight in the country, for example.
So, I like to put the microscope over worlds and I thought thats what this did.
