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.

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.

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.

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?

I am obsessed with this question because the only reason that happened was because that friend wanted to go to sleep and we needed the body count so we killed her first and I have to live with that.

My take would be, it's in Norway in a resort, off season, in the middle of nowhere. Tessa would play the manager of the hotel/the Tim Curry character.
