      What is something about this movie you think people should know before seeing it?

    2. saagarpandey on

      hell or high water is a goddam finest movie.. any inspiration you would like to share to inspiring writer/director like me/us… Any does/don’t??

      For ATJ: I imagine you will have a prominent role in the 3rd 28 Years Later film, is there a script for it yet or are you still waiting on one?

      For Aaron: How did your experience working on Avengers: Age Of Ultron compare to your experience doing Kraven The Hunter? And are you open to doing more comic book movies, and if so, do you have any comic characters in mind you’d be interested in playing someday?

      For David: not a question, but I just wanna say I LOVE Hell Or High Water. You absolutely nailed that backwater American West that almost still feels like the old West vibe.

      For David MacKenzie, you’re a director who explores lot of different genres, (western, historical, noirs, prison movie, romantic, heist movie), is there a genre you prefer? And is it something you intentionally do as a “challenge” or it simply just depends on the project?

      Also, Starred Up is one of my favorite movies and the lead is Jack O’Connell in one of his earliest performances who obviously went on to become a star. Could you share what did you see in him when you were working together?

      For David: what makes Ben Foster such a gravitational force? his work in hell or high water is stunning

      What was your favourite and less favourite London location to shoot at?

      Thanks for doing this AMA!

      For David: I loved Relay! I hadn’t ever been exposed to the relay service before and thought that was a great idea. Is that a concept that the movie was built around or something that was found to be a good fit during development?

      For Aaron: Which Thomas the Tank Engine character would you say you are? What’s the best way you’ve found to deal with Diesels in life?
      Alternatively, was there a particular stunt in The Fall Guy that you saw in person that impressed you the most?

      Aaron, what was it like working with such a talented cast on this film? How did that dynamic influence your performance?

      Hi David. Less of a question, more of a comment – I have frequently cited ‘Hell Or High Water’ to people as the perfect film. It does a lot of ‘show, don’t tell’, the script economy is crazy good, it has a tight running time, there’s not an ounce of fat on it, it’s cast absolutely perfectly, uses the environment as part of its storytelling, and it has something to say. I don’t think there’s much more you can ask for from a movie, and I applaud you for it. Also made me look at Chris Pine in a totally different light, which was awesome.

      I’ll be looking forward to Fuse. Just wanted to give you some props for a real gem in your back catalogue.

      For Aaron, this is the second time that you worked with David, how different was the experience and is there something in particular about him as a director (besides his talent) that made you interested in joining him for this second movie?

      Also, when I think of characters like Kraven, Jamie in 28 Years Later, Tangerine in Bullet Train, while obviously all different in their own way, I see them all as very masculine, intense, tough individuals but, at the same, shows vulnerabilities and they present a refreshing take on these kind of badass characters. Is it something you intentionally seek or is there something that attracts you about these kind of characters? And is there ever a fear in the back of your mind about being typecast?

      Huge fan, can’t wait to see this one!

      Tell us some interesting facts about yourselves nobody would’ve ever guessed

    17. No_Excitement2558 on

      Hello there. Hope you two are having a great day. Here is my questions individually to both of you:

      1) David sir. I am a big fan. I liked Outlaw King and Hallam Foe the most of your work. I would like how do you adapt so well because every adaptation feels so distinct from the original source. How do you do it really? Also advice u can share on the same? I’m more of an adaptation guy than a original one too like you, so I might need some help in this matter.

      2) Aaron sir. You are such a fine actor. Grew up watching Kickass. Loved you in Bullet Train. This might be a more personal question (you can skip if you want) but as an actor how do you handle failure? Like I might need some help here because recently I had a terrible first impression in a theatrical role due to communication issue and I feel like not acting anymore because it reminds me of the same thing again and again somehow. I don’t know what to do.

      Thanks for reading. Can’t wait to see you in Fuze (no pun intended but also a great drink)
