Celeb Savant, Barret Edelstein, goes to the movies and sits down with the director of ‘Notre-Dame on Fire’, Jean-Jacques Annaud. It took him six months to write the script for the movie, and we find out how - after interviewing 168 people (including over 100 firefighters), having to find ‘body doubles’, and with over 300 people working on the set - he came to film the masterpiece that is based on the real life disaster of the fire of Notre-Dame in 2019.
