Interview med Dexter Fletcher – instruktøren bag Elton John-filmen ‘Rocketman’
INTERVIEW: Hvis du ikke allerede har set den sprudlende film om Elton Johns mindst ligeså sprudlende liv i ‘Rocketman’, så har du muligheden, når filmen udkommer til hjemmebiografen på både dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 14. oktober.
Som opvarming til filmens udgivelse, bringes her et interview med filmens instruktør Dexter Fletcher, der altså er manden, der fortæller den utrolige historien om Elton John og hans begivenhedsrige liv – fra de tidlige dage til både nedture og musikalsk succes.
Blandt andet er historiens fokus ikke kun på Elton John – der spilles af Taron Egerton – alene, men også hans musikalske partnerskab med Bernie Taupin. Så læs med her, når Dexter Fletcher fortæller om sit arbejde med filmen.
“What I did very early on with Julian Day, te costume designer, and to an even larger extent with Giles Martin, te film’s music producer, was to push back even though I was already happy with what they were doing. I wanted to elevate their work even more because I knew that te story and te character required it. I wanted Taron Egerton, who was personifying Elton, to be larger than life. I needed to set Taron that challenge to rise above.”
“I’ve done some other biopics and we had to create things that were effectively carbon copies. For ‘Rocketman’, we were allowed to have total creative freedom. There are very few projects where you are allowed, and encouraged, to be this creative, especially when you’ve got this larger than life character.”
“When you have a character like Elton, who has this fantastic array of stage garments alone, but then you’re told that they want it to be bigger, bolder, and better and just to go off and do it, to go as far as you can, that is incredible. And no one stops you because of te flamboyance of Elton John.”
“There were times when Taron, dressed as Elton, would walk on set and you’d hear people gasp or you’d see them say ‘Wow.’ I was genuinely quite taken aback how much people liked it.”
“There were several moments that gave me goosebumps when we were filming. When we first see Elton in rehab, he makes his initial speech about being a sex addict, a drug addict, and an alcoholic; it is just one shot that slowly pushes in on him. It’s so strong and so powerful.”
“One of te first things we filmed was te Troubadour scene where Elton’s lifted up in te air, and that was a magic moment. Then there was te big dance sequence for ‘Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)’ which we rehearsed for six weeks, but when you see it for real, it just blows you away. Te full version of it is on te Blu-ray and is incredible.”
“Making te movie, we all knew what was unfolding. Audiences have already seen te end result, but te behind-the-scenes stuff adds more layers to that and show it all off, piece by piece. Elton is an incredible performer.”
“When he gets out there in front of an audience, he is taken over by this incredible Elton John-like character, and that’s very much what I think Taron inhabits. He already had this incredible voice and this incredible acting ability. However, I don’t think he understood what te full breadth of his voice was, and he just continued to be more and more and more incredible.”
“Taron proves that when you’re brave, and you take chances, especially with your acting, te rewards are incredible. I think his performance in Rocketman is one-of-a-kind for this generation.”
‘Rocketman’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 14. oktober.
Interview med danske David Sakurai fra ’Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’
Interview: I forbindelse med udgivelsen af ’Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’ bringer Filmskribenten.dk hermed et interview med den danske skuespiller David Sakurai, der spiller med i og overfor Johnny Depp den ’Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’.
’Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 1. april.
Interviewer: Fantastisk at møde dig. Det er en ære.
Interviewer: Du har jo en imponerende filmografi bag dig. Både dansk og international. Marvels ‘Iron Fist’, senere Paul W. Andersons ‘Origin’ og naturligvis ‘Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’, fortsættelsen af ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’.
Fantastic Beasts-serien er en del af J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter-univers.
Hvilke følelser beskriver bedst oplevelsen af at blive tilbudt en rolle i en stor franchise som denne?
David: Magisk.. Jeg har altid været dybt betaget af fantasy-genren. Den kan jo noget helt specielt med at for en stund få os væk fra den travle hverdag, transportere os dybt ind i fantasiens univers og samtidig fortælle relevante og rørende menneskelige historier.. En af mine store biograf minder som dreng var at se ‘Den Uendelige Historie’. Den gjorde et kæmpe indtryk på mig og er stadig en af mine favoritter. JK Rowlings’ Wizarding World univers er vel sammen med Star Wars nu en af de største franchises i filmhistorien.
Interviewer: Interessant. ‘Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’ er jo spækket med kendte stjerner. Eddie Redmayne, Jude Law og naturligvis din master: Johnny Depp alias Gellert Grindelwald.
Du havde vel flest professionelle oplevelser med Johnny på sættet?
David: Ja, jeg var primært sammen med Johnny og mine “Acolytes”. Johnny var super cool, generøs og meget behagelig at arbejde med!
Interviewer: Hvordan var det at møde ham? Havde du noget forhold til ham før optagelserne begyndte?
David: Jeg har altid været dybt fascineret af Johnnys arbejde. Mange af mine yndlingsfilm er med ham.. ‘Donnie Brasco’, ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, ‘Ed Wood’. Jeg kan blive ved. På mit teenageværelse i Danmark havde jeg Bruce Lee på en side og Johnny Depp som Edward Saksehånd på den anden side. Jeg har hørt det der med at man ikke skal møde sine idoler.. Det kan jeg så IKKE stå ved.. Johnny var så inspirerende at arbejde samme med og jeg havde en fantastisk tid i hans selskab.
Interviewer: Hvilke andre kendte personligheder mødte du under optagelserne til ‘Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’?
David: Jeg var jo primært sammen med Grindelwald holdet. Men vi sås jo alle for det meste hinanden på settet.. Eddie Redmayne var rigtig sød og kom på min første optagedag over i make-up traileren og bød mig velkommen. Han sætter en god på tone på settet og er jo en fantastisk hovedrolle til den her franchise.
Interviewer: Imponerende! Du spiller jo Krall i filmen. Når man træder ind på sættet i fuld udklædning og med de andre karaktere, samt alle de originale objekter og ting – glider man ikke helt automatisk ind i det magiske univers og den spændende atmosfære?
David: Jo absolut! Det var helt fantastisk at komme over i Colleen Atwood’s kostume afdeling. Alle detaljer var tænkt så godt igennem. De mindste detaljer var der af en grund og det hjalp mig virkelig til at føre mig ind i universet. Ligeledes med Stuart Craigs’ set-design.. Det magiske univers eksisterer virkelig foran en.
Interviewer: Det er fascinerende. Bliver nødt til at spørge dig i den sammenhæng; er det svært at spille med objekter og scener der ikke er der, når man laver skuespillet med grøn skærm. Objekterne og scenerne bliver jo tilført senere via CGI (computer-generated imagery)?
David: Vores instruktør David Yates er simpelthen så god til at guide en igennem den process så det var egentlig ikke så svært. Nu er der heldigvis også en masse film i dette univers at referere til, så man har en ide om hvordan det kommer til at se ud.
Interviewer: Var J.K. Rowling til stede under optagelserne? Havde du chance for at tale med hende?
David: Ja jeg fik snakket med J.K. Hun er dybt inspirerende og jeg føler virkelig en stor ære i at være en del af hendes univers. Hun har jo skrevet manus til denne film, så det var som spiller betryggende at vide at alt vores information kom direkte fra den originale kilde. Hun kom også en del under optagelserne og var ofte i dialog med David Yates.
Interviewer: David, tusinde tak for din tid og for at lade os interview dig. Alt held og lykke med dine nye projekter!
David: Det var en fornøjelse! Mange Tak!
’Fantastic Beasts: Te Crimes of Grindelwald’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 1. april.
Bohemian Rhapsody: Interview med Gwilym Lee aka Brian May
Interview: I forbindelse med udgivelsen af ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – filmen om det britiske band Queen og dets forsanger Freddie Murcury bringer vi her stolt et interview med skuespilleren Gwilym Lee, der i filmen spiller bandets legendariske guitarist Brian May.
‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 18. marts.
Can you recall your first meeting with Brian May?
“We started with Live Aid. Te first day Rami [Malek] came to set was te first day that all four of us were together and Brian decided that he wanted to turn up as well. So we were terrified. We had only just started and at that stage we hadn’t shot anything, so was he going to say that he was not happy, were our jobs safe? But he walked straight in te room and straight up to me and just gave me this big hug and I sensed his excitement.”
Did he show you any of his guitar moves?
“Yes. He did. We did a pre-record session at Abbey Road before we started filming and we were all there having lunch and he leant over to me and said, ‘Do you want to have a little jam while everyone is eating?’ I was like, ‘Absolutely! Yes, please. Thank you very much.’ So he came in and his tech, Pete, who is a great guy and he had brought te Red Special with him.“
I think he made that guitar when he was about 14…
“Yes, exactly. Remarkable. That guitar sums up so much about te man. He made it with his father who was an electrical engineer. He made it as a teenager with bits he found around te house so te neck is made out of an old mahogany fireplace and te whammy bar is made out of part of an old bike saddle. He and his dad made his own pick ups. I always think that that is te perfect symbol or metaphor for Brian; it is eclectic and it is genius. It’s eccentric, eclectic genius.”
How talented a musician were you prior to this film?
“Wonderwall! Acoustic guitar, rhythm guitar, campfire guitar. I certainly hadn’t played any lead and not a huge amount of electric guitars. So that was a challenge, not least to try and master those solos but also to play it in his style. He played with a sixpence, an old coin.“
There is lots of Queen footage to study but what did you to prepare for te Smile peformances?
“That’s a good question. Some of those early concerts there is no footage. In te film we perform as Smile, te pre-concert to Queen with Tim Staffell. There is no footage of that. You can hear te music and te different style of that time. It is a bit more introverted, a little bit more navel-gazy. So you’d listen and try to guess how they performed; you had to do that through your imagination. There are a few photos and talking to Brian helped, but certainly they hadn’t got to that vitriolic, glam rock stage with their physical performance.
Do you remember which album got you into Queen?
“My older brother was really into Queen and for his birthday he had been given Te Miracle, and I happened to be sick and off school on his birthday and so he had to stay at home and look after me, which he wasn’t very pleased about. But we played Te Miracle back to back endlessly throughout te day and learnt all te words to I Want It All.“
Do you have a favourite era?
“I love those first two albummer, Queen and Queen II, because you hear them trying to find their sound. You hear, particularly on Queen, they sound quite a lot like other bands of te time. They sound a little bit like Led Zeppelin at times. They hadn’t quite discovered their true power yet and I like that rawness to them. They really sound like a young band and then it is just remarkable to think that is te same band that goes on and plays Wembley in 1985 and 1986.”
Shooting that Live Aid set, did you do it just once or was it something that you had to keep going back to?
“It was te very first thing that we shot and we did it in te first ten days, pretty much. So we approached it one day per song. So day one we did Bohemian Rhapsody. Day two we did Radio Ga Ga and we worked through it like that. By te sixth day we had completed all of it and at that point te producers gave us te opportunity to play te 20-minute set. They set up a load of cranes, a load of cameras in various places and we played it as a real concert, which was amazing because then you realize that it is an accumulative thing.”
‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD den 18. marts.

Interview med Drew Goddard – manden bag ‘Bad Times at Te El Royale’
18. februar 2019/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
INTERVIEW: Thrilleren ‘Bad Times at Te El Royale’ udkommer nu på både dvd, Blu-ray og 4K her i landet den 14. marts. I den forbindelse bringer vi et interview med filmens instruktør, Drew Goddard.
Why choose to set this film in a location that straddles two places?
It all came out from writing. Te movie started with characters, I knew I wanted a hotel but I didn’t have this idea that it would be a bi-state hotel until I started getting into te script. At te beginning te core idea was to show 7 people, from very different backgrounds, arriving to one hotel and probably trying to kill each other. Te hotel happened organically. When I was thinking how I wanted to design te film and what were te emotions of te characters, there te theme of duality kept coming up, and very organically arrived te idea of te hotel reflecting that duality.
How important is te era in which this film is set?
I very much wanted to set this film in 1969 for a reason. Te 60s were very much a time for turmoil and in rapid success, in just a five year period, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. Then Nixon signed in. So this movie takes place at te dawn of te Nixon years because I wanted to show te time when te great darkness started to descend after a time of great hope. I wanted to deal with that specific place and time.
We know that there was a certain mood in te 60s in California, but what was te mood in Nevada?
In a weird way those states were te opposite of what they are right now. Nevada in te 60s was very much about hope and opportunity: te idea that you can roll te dices and change your life. There was a swingin vibe, it was te era of te Rat Pack and Frank Sinatra. Whereas California was different. California was a darker place. You had te cults like te Charles Manson’s one coming out in te 60s, you had politicians like Richard Nixon coming out from California. There was a golden seduction of California that is very different from te California of today.
What do you feel audiences at home will take away from this film?
Te film is designed to warrant close details. Te thing I like when I watch a movie at home is that I can really study te movie, you can really get into te details and te meanings and te nuances by watching te movie in te intimacy of your home. I’m not a purist I love both te theatre and te home experience and I hope te movie does play well in both.
You directed Chris Hemsworth in his first non-heroic role. What was it about him that made him perfect for this role?
That’s good to hear. Yes, I hope that’s true! I’ve known Chris now for like a decade, when we worked on ‘Cabin In Te Woods’ it was before he got te role on ‘Thor’, so I’ve seen him evolve as a performer and I know how talented he is and how much range he has. He doesn’t get te chance to do that all te time. Because he’s so busy saving te world you know…
What was te process of creating that long scene of Jon Hamm discovering te secret passage and looking at every guest behind glass? What steps did you take and what were te challenges of that shot?
That shot was te most complicated shot I’ve ever tackled in my career. It took us 8 months of planning, because we had to build te entire set around te shot. Everything that you see happening in that shot is in te set.. You even see outdoors, you see into te parking lot, so we had to build all that as well. We did not use visual effects for all te things you’re seeing, te only visual effects is te wall behind Jon Hamm because that’s where te camera track goes. And we had to hide it. Other than that we’re just doing everything for real, because we wanted te audience to feel that they’re in that moment with Jon Hamm, experiencing te movie.
With every twist and turn of te film, viewers learn more and more about each character. What was your process in creating characters with such depth and history?
All te story starts from te Jeff Bridges’ priest. He was te first character I thought of, there was something about te idea of a priest who is lying that was sitting right with te drama for me. And so he was te first piece to fall into place, te second was te singer. Te movie is much about te two of them: te false spirituality of te priest and te false spirituality of te artist.

Interview med Cailee Spaeny fra ‘Bad Times at Te El Royale’
18. februar 2019/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
INTERVIEW: Thrilleren ‘Bad Times at Te El Royale’ udkommer nu på både dvd, Blu-ray og 4K her i landet den 14. marts. I den forbindelse bringer vi et interview med Cailee Spaeny fra filmen.
Would you say that Rose is a byproduct of te California culture of that era, in what way?
I think te cool part about te script is that each character is a chunk of that era. For example: music is a characteristic of that era and that’s what Cynthia Erivo’s character shows. Miles, te bellboy, he was in te vietnam war. So each character kind of represents a different aspect of that time.
You did a great job embodying te 60s/Manson-esque cult mentality, did you do any research or reading into that era to inform how you were going to play Rose?
Yes, I did lots of research. I think Chris Hemsworth’s character doesn’t really represent te Manson cult as he has different qualities. He plays a different version of that, but I did research all of te different cults among which there was te Manson’s one. It’s not a super happy thing to spend your time with, still, Drew sent me a list of documentaries that I saw: Children Of God, Jonestown… those kind of things. Almost every night I was researching cults, which is not that nice, but I got to learn a lot of things. I’ve started this movie thinking: “Why would anyone join a cult? How do you get your mind to that point?”.
Te saying ‘not everything is as it seems’ rings true for Rose and te audience is quickly proven wrong on their initial assumption of your character. What was it like to evolve in to te Rose we see in te final scenes?
I just tried to stay in te moment as te character. I tried not to get into my head too much, thinking what te audience is thinking. Some actors can do this but for me if I go to work I’m just thinking about what te character has in mind, I don’t think: “Oh this is too much for te audience
Which scene was te biggest challenge to shoot?
Te final killing. We wanted something slower than te other deaths. It doesn’t happen as fast as most of te other killings, because that is one of te big final deaths. We’ve fallen in love with Miles and his character and we wanted that to be very brutal, I mean in te way I twist te knife across te stomach. It is very hard to watch even for me, still it got a little silly while filming because me and Lewis Pullman were just: “This is so crazy! What is this scene?.”
Was it always you on te chandelier or a double?
We did have doubles on set but it was me swinging on te chandelier, it was very cool. One covered from my bucket list.
Were there a memorable behind te scenes moment?
So many memorable moments! Because it is such an intense script, it’s an ensemble cast and there aren’t that many people in te movie (except for te 7 main characters), therefore we all got pretty close. There were so many great moments. A lot of times Jeff Bridges would have his panoramic camera on him and right before there te rolling call he would pop into te different rooms and just take pictures of us. That was so fun!
Do these moments help?
Yes for sure, I think it’s just nice to know we’re all there to help each other, we’re all in to make a fun movie, we all had each others backs and knew how delicate for te actors te scenes were and how emotional they were. And so i think te cast, crew and Drew were all having each others back trying to make everyone’s job easier.
Te majority of your scenes were shot with Dakota Johnson and Chris Hemsworth. How was it working with them?
For Dakota, thankfully we had a bond offset so te bond was there also during te scenes, there wasn’t too much of work, or acting or even pretending. We were sisters and I felt we already were when we started working, so that was nice.
Every actor learns something new with each movie they star in. What did you learn from this movie?
I just had such a lucky experience working with incredible actors, getting to see their work ethics, their different techniques… Jeff Bridges is such a legend! Getting to watch him and see how he worked was a blessing. Something i really like that he did, was that he never came on set like “Yeah yeah I got this, can we please roll? I’ve been doing this for years!”. Every time we got on set he was always asking questions, there was never anything he already knew, he always wanted to learn more.
‘Bad Times at Te El Royale’ udkommer på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K d. 14/3.

Interview med Rebecca Ferguson om blandt andet ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’
16. december 2018/i Artikel, Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
Svenskfødte Rebecca Ferguson har spillet med i adskillige amerikanske og britiske film samt tv-dramaer og har arbejdet med mange af de største Hollywood-stjerner.
Hun fik sit store gennembrud for tre år siden, da hun spillede med Tom Cruise i ‘Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’. Rebecca er endnu engang aktuel som Ilsa Faust i efterfølgeren ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’, der nu er udkommet på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD.
“Jeg elsker Ilsa Faust! siger Rebecca i telefonen fra gæstehuset lige ved siden af sit hjem i Simirishamn. Ilsa er hård, smart, selvsikker, veluddannet og alt, hvad jeg beundrer i en kvindelig filmhelt. Det er en ære at få chancen for at spille hende! Ilsa passer så godt sammen med Ethan Hunt, som spilles af Tom Cruise – og hun redder endda hans liv gentagne gange i filmen.”
I ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ møder vi Ethan Hunt og hans IMF-hold (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg og Ving Rhames), der går sammen med nogle bekendte karakterer (blandt andet Rebecca Ferguson). Målet er at undgå en mislykket mission, men tiden arbejder altid imod dem.
Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett og Vanessa Kirby er også en del af castet og filmskaber Christopher McQuarrie er igen ansvarlig for instruktionen. “Jeg elsker virkelig denne bande”, siger Rebecca. “Vi har det sjovt på sættet. Simon Pegg er min bedste ven! Han er en meget sjov og en flink fyr. Vi deler den samme humor. For nylig så jeg ‘Hot Fuzz’ igen, hvor han er hovedrolleindehaver. En ligeså god oplevelse som første gang jeg så den.”
Hvordan arbejdede Tom Cruise? Det har været rygter om, at han for eksempel ikke tillader nogen at se ham i øjnene under optagelse, samt at være svær at arbejde med.
“Jeg læste også en masse underlige ting om Tom før jeg mødte ham, men jeg tænkte, at nu opfører jeg mig, som jeg altid ville gøre, når jeg møder en ny person”, fortæller Rebecca. “Jeg forsøger ikke at dømme eller skade folk, jeg møder. Jeg må sige, at Tom er lige så langt fra personen, som det medierne gør ham til. Det er muligt, at rygterne er fabrikationer eller, at rygterne opstod i hans yngre dage og har ændret sig over tid. Jeg ved det ikke, og jeg har heller ikke spurgt ham. Den Tom Cruise, som jeg har arbejdet med og lærte at kende, kunne ikke være mere fokuseret og interesseret i sit arbejde. Han elsker, hvad han laver. Han tager sig af sine medskuespillere og resten af crewet. Han er meget sjov og endda drilagtig, når han ikke er foran kameraet – så snart kameraet kører, er han meget alvorlig.”
Der er en masse action i ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’, og selvom Rebecca var højgravid i slutningen af optagelserne, lavede hun alligevel mange af sine egne stunts.
“En scene var særlig mindeværdig at filme”, siger hun og griner. “Jeg skulle sidde på Henry Cavills skuldre og stramme mine ben omkring hans hals. Det var helt absurd, for filmholdet at se en gravid kvinde klatre op på en mand ved hjælp af en stige, for derefter at presse hendes bryster i hans ansigt, mens hun strammede sine ben om halsen. Men det gik fint og da vi var færdige grinede vi alle af det.”
‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ blev filmet i England. Skuespiller-arbejdet har taget Rebecca til masser af spændende locations rundt om i verden. Nogle gange i ganske lange perioder.
“‘Te Girl On te Train’ blev filmet i New York, den var vældig sjov at være med i. Min mand og jeg lejede en ejendom i området, så fik vi mulighed for at opleve byen på den helt rigtige måde. Jeg kan godt lide at besøge New York, men jeg vil nok ikke bo der. Det samme med London. Jeg elsker Richmond. Vi har et hus der og bor der, når jeg arbejder i London. Jeg kan godt lide Richmond Park. Her kan du gå ture og cykle. Områderne nær Barnes og Chiswick er også interessante. Derudover er Richmond tæt på filmstudier som Pinewood og Shepperton, hvilket gør det meget bekvemt at bo lige der.”
Rebecca har to børn, Isak på 11, fra et tidligere ægteskab og datteren Saga, født i juni i år.
“Vi bor i Simrishamn i det sydlige Sverige. Jeg elsker min lille “fiskerby”. Havde det ikke været fordi min søn, Isac, skulle gå i skole her, var jeg måske ikke flyttet hertil. Men jeg er glad for, at det blev sådan. Jeg bliver altid trukket tilbage til denne rolige atmosfære. Faderen til Isac, Ludwig, bor desuden i nærheden, og så har vi mulighed for at se hinanden. Vi er som den store familie i filmen ‘Together’.”
Skuepillerinden griner og siger, at når hun er hjemme hos børn og familie, virker det ret uvirkeligt at blive interviewet og tale om ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’. “Det føles som to helt forskellige verdener, uanset hvad det er. Jeg kan godt lide at arbejde og heldigvis bliver jeg ikke hjemme for længe ad gangen, for så begynder jeg at styre hjemmet på en næsten manisk måde. Jeg starter store renoveringsprojekter, som i sig selv er sjovt, men nogle gange kan det blive lidt for meget.”
Rebeccca siger, at hun nyder sit liv lige nu. “Jeg har mange sjove filmprojekter kørende og har det også godt hjemme. Jeg føler mig glad og mener, at jeg har fundet en god balance, selvom jeg ikke helt ved, hvor længe jeg kan holde denne balance. Det er vigtigt at nyde det gode, mens du oplever det. Jeg lever, som jeg sagde, i to forskellige verdener – og jeg elsker dem begge.”
– ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ er ude på dvd, Blu-ray og 4K Ultra HD.

Interview og rejsebeskrivelse: Hvad ville Game of Thrones være uden island?
11. december 2017/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen

Jon Snow er blevet udnævnt konge af Norden efter at have besejret Ramsay Bolton i ‘Battle of te Bastards’ og har taget Winterfell tilbage til House Stark. I King’s Landing, har Cersei Lannister vundet ‘Te Iron Throne’ ved at have brændt High Sparrow, hans følge samt rivalerne i Sept of Baelor. Mens gamle alliancer dør hen og nye opstår, marcherer en hær af døde mænd mod Muren – en hær, der truer at ende de syv kongedømmer for altid…
Interview og rejsebeskrivelse med Einar Sveinn Thordarson på svensk  af Gunnar Rehlin
När nu säsong sju släpps på dvd och Blu-ray finns det gott om scener att se som helt eller delvis spelats in på den karga lavaön – till exempel den scen där Jon Snow och hans män omringas av Te White Walkers.
– Det är en kombination av att filma på plats och att komplettera med specialeffekter, säger Einar Sveinn Thordarson på produktionsbolaget Pegasus Pictures. Han har under åren varit location manager för Game of Thrones-inspelningarna på Island. Tillsammans med seriens producenter har han tillbringat många dagar med att med flyg, jeep och bil leta passande inspelningsplatser.
Under några dagar gör vi samma sak – med flyg, jeep och bil reser vi runt på Island och tittar på en rad av de platser där man spelat in scener till Game of Thrones. Och om någon tror att det bara handlat om scener med snö och is, så tänk om. Här har man också hittat platser för bland annat landstigningar med båt och massiva klippformationer som den i Thingvellirs nationalpark där Brionne och Te Hound hade en kamp till döds.
Under de dagar vi reser runt på ön ser vi allt från klippformationer, vattenfall, grottor – bland annat ingången till den grotta, Groytágjá, där Jon Snow och Ygritte badade nakna – och glaciärer. Det är gott om vattenfall runt de gigantiska glaciärerna; det är mycket vackert men inte ett gott tecken.
– Det betyder att uppvärmningen gör att glaciärerna smälter allt fortare, säger Einar. I en intervju i en brittisk tidning berättade nyligen Kit ”Jon Snow” Harrington om hur han när han återkom till en glaciär efter några år nästan hade svårt att känna igen sig. Så mycket hade smält bort under ett par år.
Många av inspelningsplatserna, som Myvatn-området, når vi med vanliga bilar, men när vi ska ta oss ut mot de rätt otillgängliga glaciärerna några timmars bilfärd från Reykjavik krävs det färd med stora, specialutrustade jeepar. Färden går på primitiva vägar och flera gånger färdas vi genom brusande vattendrag som nästan riskerar att rycka med den jeep vi färdas i.
Einar berättar om hur naturen kan förändras i princip från en dag till en annan, hur det som i dag är en liten ström imorgon kan vara närmast en stor flod, vilket givetvis sätter käppar i hjulet för inspelningsteamet. Man måste därför alltid vara beredda på att improvisera, på att hitta alternativa inspelningsplatser. Vädret på Island kan vara mycket nyckfullt.
Mycket av det vi ser i ”Game of Thrones” skapas med digitala effekter. Denna dag besöker vi bland annat den ravin i Höfðabrekkuheiði-området där Jon Snow och en liten samling män från Castle Black omringades av Te White Walkers och där en av drakarna sköts ner i den nu dvd-aktuella säsong sju. Det är en mäktig, hög ravin, med en fors som rinner fram i ena kanten.
– När vi hittade det här området var den där lilla forsen något som mer liknade en flod, men vi insåg att det skulle passa ändå. Vi hade base camp nere på parkeringsplatsen, och satte upp portabla toaletter i närheten av ravinen, säger Einar.
Här filmades skådespelarna, sedan kompletterades detta med de digitala effekter som skapade illusionen av en istäckt sjö – och en drake som skjuts ner och blir zombie.
En jeepfärd uppför en slingrande väg tar oss till Dyrhólaey, en högt belägen fyr med en enastående utsikt både ut över havet och, när vi vänder oss om, över berg och glaciärer.
Nej, fyrhuset förekommer inte i ”Game of Thrones”, utan här ser vi ut över den långs stranden som ligger långt nedanför. Einar berättar, samtidigt som han varnar oss för att gå för nära kanten:
– Här filmade vi hur Jon Snow och hans män landsteg i en episod i säsong fem. Det var gott om turister, som stod här uppe och tittade på. Det har det för övrigt ofta varit när vi filmat, men det har alltid gått att undvika att få dem med i bild.
Numera är turistindustrin Islands mest inkomstbringande näring och har gått om fiskeindustrin. Det finns gott om företag som sysslar med rundturer, flera med aktiviteter baserade kring ”Game of Thrones” – en officiell rundtur heter ”Myvatn Mystery & Magic: Game of Thrones Themed Tour”.
Turist-boomen har också gjort att fler och fler bygger om sina gårdar till hotell eller bed & breakfasts, allt från superlyx till enkla hotell med våningssängar.
När ”Game of Thrones” kommit till ön har detta givetvis krävt en mängd hotellrum. Ofta har skådespelare och team fått bo på något mindre luxuösa inkvarteringar.
– Jag är säker på att många skulle ha föredragit att få bo i Reykjavik, men det skulle inte fungerat när vi till exempel filmat uppe i norr. Det har ändå varit långa transportsträckor, så det skulle inte ha gått att varje morgon flyga upp dem från Reykjavik till Aukeyri, säger Einar.
Å andra sidan har de kunnat få möjligheten att avsluta dagen med ett bad i Myvatn Nature Baths – norra Islands svar på den mer berömda Blå lagunen, mindre men inte lika packad med besökare.
För islänningarna har närvaron av ”Game of Thrones” inte bara gjort att de inhemska filmarbetarna fått mer och mer erfarenhet av att arbeta med stora produktioner, utan öns befolkning har också fått erfarenhet av att vara statister. Mestadels har de fått spela vildingar.

Eksklusivt Interview: Sir Anthony Hopkins om Michael Bays Transformers: Te Last Knight
3. november 2017/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
I forbindelse med udgivelsen af Michael Bays ‘Transformers: Te Last Knight’ bringer Filmskribenten.dk stolt et interview med Sir Anthony Hopkins, der har rollen som Sir Edmond Burton, en britisk robot-ekspert. Han forbereder i filmen Mark Wahlbergs karakter, Cade Yeager, på menneskehedens ultimative showdown med kæmperobotterne. Her taler han blandt andet om sit samarbejde med Michael Bay, den store produktion og favorit-robot.
- ‘Transformers: Te Last Knight’ udkommer på 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray og dvd den 9. november.
What was it that first attracted you to Te Transformers?
Michael Bay, really. We met at a hotel for breakfast, way back. And I gathered from that very first meeting that he had te whole film already in his head. I mean, he knows all about that computer stuff and will concentrate for hours just on te reflection of light off their steel to make them look real. I thought, this is going to be interesting.
He then sent me te script and told me he wanted me to play a man called Sir Edmond Burton. I said, “Sir Edmond?” Okay… He said, “Well, you’re a knight.” I said, “Okay… Is he a lord?” He said, “Yeah, an aristocrat.” I said, “Okay…” So I got te script, read it, and it was actually very, very good. I thought, I like this.
How did you proceed?
Like everything else – learn te part; learn all te lines. But what I do know about directors like Michael Bay… You know, they have reputations for being tough. Like Oliver Stone or any of te great ones. But tough in a good way. They’re experienced and tough about what they want. And I respect that. And therefore you, te actor, you have to know what you’re doing. You have to be there ready to go.
What was te first day of shooting like?
We filmed out at this big country house. Michael came to greet me. “Hi-How-You-Doing-Okay- Great!” He talks really fast – like Speedy Gonzalez… But, you know, I’m not short of intelligence. I’ve got a couple of synapsis still working… I go in and Michael’s there and te whole crew is set up. “Can I call you Tony?” he said, “Yes, call me whatever you want to call me.”… I think he got te message quickly that I’m a team player. I’ll do whatever te director tells me to. And then they begin to trust you.
What can you tell us about your character?
Well, I can’t tell you much… He’s an English lord, an aristocrat whose lineage goes back a thousand years, ancient families and all that – back to te court of King Arthur. And he knows that te Transformers come from that period in time and that they’re now going to take over te earth. That there’s going to be a battle with te humans.
How does te film compare in scale to your recent projects?
Oh, this is a big, big film. It’s huge. We were at Stonehenge, Blenheim Palace… We were at Downing Street – that’s never been done before. But he can get in there. Down te Mall, outside of Buckingham Palace, racing in a car with a stunt driver… Yes, I think it’s one of te biggest I’ve ever done. It’s a big, big movie.
What was it like working with Mark Wahlberg?
He’s really terrific. Excellent actor. And very quiet, actually. You know, comes on set prepared and does it. He also likes to improvise and I like that too. Honestly, when you have a good script, and this was an excellent script, te rest is easy. If a director doesn’t want you to improvise because he values his writing that much, then fine. Just learn te script. But a really good director has te capacity to say, “Okay, let’s kick this about.”
What was te biggest challenge making te film?
No challenge. No challenge at all. It’s never a challenge. My philosophy is don’t take yourself so damn seriously. I guess I’m, as they would say today, ‘cool’, about it… I can’t take it too seriously.
Do you have a favorite Transformers movie?
I love te ones with Shia LaBeouf, especially te very first one I saw because I didn’t know what to expect. Te others with Mark Wahlberg too. I’ve seen all of them now. But I can’t really pick one. I actually watched them all again before we started filming just to be fresh. I really think they’re terrific.
Do you have a favorite Autobot?
No, not really. But kids would ask me that when we were in London, when we were filming on Te Mall, near Buckingham Palace. You know, all these kids were there and they wanted photographs with me. And they would ask me: “Do you know Bumblebee?” I’d say, “Yeah, very well. We had breakfast this morning!” “Yeah?”
Michael Bay is known for favoring practical stunts over CGI whenever possible. How did you find that aspect of it?
Love it. I remember going down Te Mall that day in one of te cars – we had this great American stunt driver. He tells me we’re going to go 75 mph through Admiralty Arch, which was like going through te eye of a needle in a rocket. And I just thought, well, god, I’ve had a good life… They call action. Te car roars.  And te camera is on me as we go through te arch. And then we do it again. I just thought, please don’t ask for a third take, that’s pushing your luck…
What kind of film are we ultimately in store for?
I think it could be one of te best ones and one of his best films. It should be good fun.

Eksklusivt: Interview med Michael Fassbender om ‘Alien: Covenant’
5. oktober 2017/i Inteview /af Bjarke Friis Kristensen
I forbindelse med udgivelsen af Ridley Scotts både nervepirrende og blodige ‘Alien: Covenant’ bringer Filmskribenten stolt et interview med Michael Fassbender, der har dobbeltrollen som Walter og David, eksklusivt i Danmark.
Det hele startede tilbage i 1979 med Ridley Scotts egen rumklassiker – den klaustrofobiske og yderst skræmmende ‘Alien’. Den har siden affødt den actionmættede 2’er ‘Aliens’, videre til David Finchers ‘Alien³’ og den spraglede ‘Alien Resurrection’ samt to ‘Alien vs. Predator’-film – samt ikke mindst Ridleys Scotts egne ‘Prometheus’ og nu ‘Alien: Covenant’.
– ‘Alien: Covenant’ er ude på Ultra HD, Blu-ray, dvd og digitalt den 5. oktober.
In ‘Alien: Covenant’ you have two roles. So who is it you play alongside David?
I also play Walter who is te synthetic on te Covenant ship. He is sort of a different version of what David was, because David was very humanlike and had elements in his programming that allowed him to develop human personality traits that freaked people out. So they built te following synthetics with less of those human design traits. Walter is very much a non-emotional robot.
Does this mean you get to act with yourself?
Indeed, there are a couple of scenes just between David and Walter. We did some cool stuff there where we filmed it with te camera on a special computerised crane. When we do te David take te movement of te crane is mapped in electronically. So when we do te reverse for Walter it will follow that same electronic path as it did for David. Then they’ll lay me in as Walter into te scene with David. That was pretty cool.
Is he still influenced by Peter O’Toole in ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ as he was in ‘Prometheus’?
I am still taking that as a central thing. I don’t want to veer away too much from what people saw in ‘Prometheus’. So there are some elements that will remain constant and that sort of Peter O’Toole influence is still very much there. There is a reference to ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ in a scene that I do where he is singing te song that Lawrence sings where it echoes round te valley.
So there are still those things. I think that is cool, when you do that with any franchise or running series. You can do little hat tips to previous films and have a level of consistency that te audience can anchor themselves down with.
Playing both Walter and David must be a tremendous challenge as an actor.
It’s helpful to have a clear idea. It’s fun. When I got offered ‘Prometheus’ and went into that, I wanted to make sure that it was going to be fun doing something like this, to be part of this Alien world and work with Ridley Scott. It is really just seeing how far you can push certain things.
David is very clear to me. I understand him very well. It is just trying to find fun things to do. Sometimes they work and sometime they don’t. It was also important to find te comedy in him as well, because te film is going to be really scary. In ‘Prometheus’, even when he got his head ripped off that was kind of funny.
How much have you looked at Ian Holm’s performance as Ash in ‘Alien’ as an inspiration?
For ‘Prometheus’ I didn’t look at him at all. I didn’t look at Bishop in Aliens either. I didn’t look at any of te previous synthetic incarnations. I really rooted it in Peter O’Toole, David Bowie and Olympic diver Greg Louganis — they were my three influences for him. They remain my hook for him. I also watched ‘Blade Runner’ before ‘Prometheus’ to see te Replicants in that. This time, on te plane over to Sydney, I did watch ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’. Took a look to see what both robots were doing there.
Then for Walter there is more Leonard Nimoy in there, sort of a Spock-like influence. I wanted something that was without emotional content, something that was very logical. It’s interesting looking back at Ash, I think he has purposefully played him very human. It is only after te fact, when you watch it again knowing he is a robot, you almost project te idea that he is a robot onto him.
Have you been involved in te development of ‘Alien: Covenant’ with Ridley Scott since ‘Prometheus’?
I have had conversations with Ridley for sure, every now and again, but I didn’t have a great deal of input on te script. We kept in contact. We’re friends and we have had dinners since ‘Prometheus’ and discussed it, but I can’t take any credit for any of te ideas in te script. It is as we are going along and playing I sort of add some ideas.
Is ‘Alien: Covenant’ a different kind of film to ‘Prometheus’?
I would say that it remains in te universe. We were introduced to te Engineers in ‘Prometheus’, but they will play less of a role in this. In terms of its feel as a film, it is probably harking back more to ‘Alien’ in terms of it being a thriller. I think it will be a lot scarier than ‘Prometheus’. Once it starts, it is relentless. But not in a way that you see with a lot of action films where it is action packed.
This is psychological suspense. Te elements of ‘Prometheus’ that are present are in te grandness, te world that we are trying to explore, te planet that we are on. Those things are similar. What really made ‘Alien’ stand alone is that you never left te ship, so it was a very claustrophobic experience.
– ‘Alien: Covenant’ er ude på Ultra HD, Blu-ray, dvd og digitalt den 5. oktober.

– ‘Alien: Covenant’ er ude på Ultra HD, Blu-ray, dvd og digitalt den 5. oktober.
Did you have te ‘Alien: Covenant’ concept already in mind while you were making ‘Prometheus’?
I’ve got te whole concept that will lead us back to te original ‘Alien’. I was always surprised by why no one in te subsequent three sequels ever asked who would create this thing and why.
‘Prometheus’ was resurrecting ‘Alien’ off from ground zero, because it was dead, and getting finally to who would do such a thing and for what reason. It touched on mortality and immortality, it touched on te creation of AI. This one really gets to it. This is te next phase.
Is it fair to say te new film is more reminiscent of ‘Alien’ than ‘Prometheus’?
Yes, only te evolution is way beyond te original ‘Alien’. Te original ‘Alien’ was pretty good in te effect that it was a good old basic story of seven people locked in an old dark house and all of them will die. There is nothing more B-movie than that is there? But B-movies have a habit of really playing big when they are done right.
I always thought that ‘Alien’ was a B-movie with an A cast-list and an AA monster. So we evolved and elevated what was fundamentally a horror film to another level and here we are still making them, so te proof is in te pudding.
How would you describe this new planet?
It might feel familiar. Any planet that is going to be te right position from a source of heat like a sun to have life is probably going to get a very similar construction in terms of biology and plant life to Earth. I’m trying to find a reality for te story. NASA now think that by te thousands, millions maybe, aliens are out there.
About 30 years ago, when I made ‘Alien’, I was coming round te fact that we aren’t necessarily biological accidents. To be a biological accident means te forces of nature would had to have made millions or billions of correct decisions randomly, which of course is mathematically ridiculous. Therefore was there anyone in charge? We would call that God, but I look on it as another form of superior life and part of their job was to evolve other planets.
What did Milford Sound (New Zealand) give you as te location for this new world?
Well, New Zealand is shocking beautiful. Te South Island particularly. It is kind of heaven on Earth. Also there are only four-and-a-half million people on te North and South Island. And te South Island is one million people. So it is empty and spectacular.
Did you deliberately want Katherine Waterston’s Daniels to echo Ripley in ‘Alien’?
Yes, we wanted to follow te tradition of having a leading lady but it is no longer that new. I mean, I’ve done GI Jane, I’ve done Thelma and Louise. I’ve done quite a few. I never thought it was particularly remarkable that I had a leading lady in Sigourney Weaver in ‘Alien’. I thought, “Why not? Good idea. Let’s go.” Te same with Katherine — it seemed to make sense to follow in te tradition.
How does te crew of te Covenant as a whole compare to te Nostromo in ‘Alien’?
Well, in those days we were talking about te equivalent of a freighter that is going off to planets for their mining capabilities. They will come back with valuable ores; whatever is valuable at that particular point. Te crew of te Nostromo were workers, in that respect. Te crew of te Covenant are scientists, biologists, builders and electricians. What’s more, they have been chosen to fit in with one another.
Anyone who was taken onboard would have to be like any good pioneer wagon train: very much self-sufficient and part of te overall structure. Because when they get there, as we say in te movie, they are going to be neighbours — and neighbours had better help each other.
Are you using practical effects to create te various stages of te Alien?
You need everything. I always try and shoot as much as I can. I had to on te original Alien. We had to physically build te Alien. Te Alien had to be fitted on a guy as a rubber suit. It was never animatronic. There was no way of doing that kind of thing on that scale. I had a secret studio, I was te only one allowed in there, and every day I would go in there and sit and chat with te actor who was in te suit, Bolaji Badejo, and work with him.
Everything that you saw on te original ‘Alien’ was physical. I filmed it and cut around te dodgy bits. Nevertheless it was hugely successful. So you look to maintain some of that. And te little ones were as bad as te big one. I think one of te mostly ghastly things was te egg and te facehugger.
How do you balance that with computer effects?
It is all about planning. Knowing what you are about. Te best thing I did as a filmmaker was go to art school. You learned to draw professionally. I can really draw and really paint. In fact, I do that as a hobby now. I’ve gone back to it. But it has helped me enormously because I have a natural aptitude for it. When I’m reading a script I am already seeing te film.
How much of te look te new film has been predetermined by te styles of ‘Alien’ and ‘Prometheus’?
Well, I try and keep everything different. So te style of te film, I think, is quite different from te original Alien. Also we are going into a different universe that te original Alien didn’t go into, we’re on a new planet and we’re inside new architecture – te world of te Engineers. So it’s quite different. It’s a much more layered, complex story.
Is it harder to shock an audience now compared to 1979?
It’s much harder. In a funny kind of way it is easier to make people laugh. Most comedians would say, “Fuck you, that’s not true.” But it is, because I have done both. To really, really disturb and scare wilfully as a form of entertainment is tricky, there are so many dark, cruel and weird films now. You’ve got to be careful about that.
You have a responsibility as a director. I used to watch te audience reactions to Alien and realised that you can go only so far with te violence. You’ve got to really think about who you showing this to and is it sick or is it not? I try not to make it sick but scary.
