Oliver Stone's Son Sean on His Filmmaking Education
Oliver Stone is one of Hollywood's most celebrated filmmakers, with three Oscars in a nearly five-decade career. Now, Stone's son Sean is carrying on the family legacy with his new movie, "Fury of the Fist and the Golden Fleece."
"I loved being part of movie sets since I was born," said Sean Stone, 33, in an interview Monday with Cheddar. "I was lucky enough to be on the sets of movies like 'Platoon' and 'Wall Street' and 'JFK' and 'The Doors'. That was my growing up process."
Sean Stone's new movie is a martial arts satire, taking kicks at everything from 80's movies to contemporary politics.
"It's a comedy in a time where we need comedy," said Stone. "We have a lot of political divisiveness, so for me one of the best ways to address political issues and social issues is through laughing about it."
"Fury of the Fist and the Golden Fleece," is scheduled to hit theaters May 25 and will be available for streaming on demand.
