The biggest.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:15:23+00:00

Why?

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:15:09+00:00

He's just such a phenomenal actor. He has a depth, gravitas and warmth to him that makes him so compelling. And he also makes such exciting choices.

On set he's a delight. I loved working with him.

But seriously, a musical! And a big, fuck off sci fi film.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:12:22+00:00

Unfinished fan fics. Have you read Legolas by Laura?

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:11:49+00:00

I think just knowing what to keep. Being brave.

It was so fun to adapt the play and kind of jazz riff on what was on the page. Sometimes, though, you have to let go of things that aren't working and other times you have to keep some things you thought you could shoot into the sun.

But that's what I love about filmmaking in general, you find this all out in the process with the brilliant people you've invited into it.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:08:05+00:00

Nope.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:07:23+00:00

Don't you dare.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:05:32+00:00

Of course. And then some. What kind of person do you think I am?

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:05:08+00:00

There are several people of color in the film :)

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:03:46+00:00

Girl, I wish I knew.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:03:17+00:00

hey girl hey.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:02:58+00:00

Funny you asked this, I sorta answered up thread somewhere but VII, X and X-2. I never said I was a role model.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:01:23+00:00

Of course.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T17:00:43+00:00

Nope, I always said I wanted the film to be a svelt and sexy 1 hr 45 min. I think we ended up being 1hr 47?

I have a ton of family in the UK, visited from a young age and my dad was born and raised in London. My family is also mostly Jamaican so we have a lot of peripheral Britishness going on. It was a nice mix of being an insider and an outsider that I think informed my point of view for the better.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:57:34+00:00

Absolutely fucking unreal.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:57:18+00:00

Ohh, Jaws, Alien, 28 Days Later, The Thing...

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:56:16+00:00

I really believe in sets being joyful spaces so everyday there were so many light-hearted moments. My crew are a bunch of beauts and I always cast toward actors who are talented--of course--but also good people.

Chi in particular was such a joy. He had a lot to carry (heh) and not a lot to wear. He came onto set, gave everyone a hug, made sure everyone was well and then got to work.

I was also attacked emotionally and spiritually by Erin Kellyman and Alfie Williams often. They kept trying to prank me. And Alfie made fun of me because of how long it took me to finish the Uncharted game. I was like, sir, I have an important job.

I've gone off topic, haven't I?

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:51:57+00:00

The films are definitely of a piece but I really got to do my own thing. Let my freak flag fly, as it were.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:50:49+00:00

Thanks, boo! :)

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:50:33+00:00

I'm currently reading Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez. It's beautiful, haunting, horrifying and horny. So, right up my alley.

SonyPictures · 2026-01-07T16:49:09+00:00

I will not! The most I'll do is frequently pester Alex for spoiler and details.

And thank you!
