Yes, Claire Foy was very bright and spritely in this interview, where Nic seemed a little more brooding and enigmatic, and somewhat mysterious like the dusky woodland scene in the picture behind them.
He's seemingly more and more coming out in interviews about his moving in the direction of supernatural horror type stuff, but not slasher films. ( glad about that)
I'll have to watch it again Lady True but doesn't he begin with something about horror?!
while raising one eyebrow, wearing a velvet jacket worthy of a Vincent Price movie:
well, It's true that I do have a passion for Grand Guignol and horror, but it's the kind of horror that's by no means slasher, it's not gratuitous or uh just the idea of people being hurt, I like the mysteries of the unknown, the unexplained, the paranormal, the possibilities of these things, and that's what I wanted to participate in
And dear Ms Foy...we're in love with Behman already!
Some interesting clues and hints about the movie I thought.....
"somewhere along the way I wanted to celebrate the movies of Christopher Lee and Roger Corman and Vincent Price"
"I'm just this little boy from California trying to play this teutonic knight from medieval times, so I knew I really had to apply myself to the sword as well as the horseback riding or it wouldn't be authentic, and uh those were my ways in..and then just working in the forest, there's a bit of a travelogue to the movie it's quite beautiful, we were in these forests in Austria and also Hungary, and that just, i think it inspired all of us."
Seems like Nic is wanting to recreate the pleasure his got from movie-going as a child... he certainly struck up an interesting tone, somewhere between nostalgic and brooding. Conjuring forth his inner Christopher Lee, only more Southern!
Those are good quotes, Lula. Yes, some hints, I thought so too.
Grand Guignol - yes, that's it. Never heard of it before. I love it when he throws in those little esoterical remarks that I have to look up later, lol.
He is definitely working that eyebrow, isn't he? And I love the velvet jacket, he looks really good there. Maybe he needs an ascot a la Vincent! Not.
the eye brow...the jacket... the inner Christopher Lee...the weighty atmosphere.....I'm intrigued even more now with Claire Foy's character...it sounds like there are going to be many levels and that the movie will be incredibly suspenseful as they transport the witch through those stunning and dramatic landscapes! I hope we're no all too busy hiding behind the castle sofa to enjoy those epic landscapes and our knight brandishing his sword....
I think it will have a big twist! And her comment on everyone rooting for Behman, means it's a real hero role for him it seems, perfect! Can't wait! How many times have I said that lately, lol.
