Часть III

Christopher Maynard : I can't pin it down till I find the through line to all those things. What is it for you that attracts you to all these different projects?

Richard Armitage : It's the absolute variety of roles that I am lucky enough to kind of take on I mean I, one of the reasons I loved Pilgrimage so much and jumped on board was just to play a character, that is, that speaks a foreign language and lives in a period you know which is so far away from modern reality and yet resonates with a kind of fascination with iconography I just thought oh that's a really interesting idea and you know at the beginning of this year I was, you know, on the set of Ocean's 8 playing, playing a really kind of indulgent kind of art curator and I thought yeah how do you, how do you kind of jump from one to the other but it's, it's, you know, it's one of the things that is just so attractive about what I do and also kind of frightening sometimes that you just don't know what's coming next and you have to really open up your mind and your heart and be like okay let's see what the universe throws them in and you know be ready to jump on something that it's like ah never done that before something really unusual so that's really what draws me to it and I've never really been driven by, by money so, you know, it can be the lowest budget and sometimes no pay but if the character is interesting and, you know, I've never done it before I'll let myself go there because the riches you get from it are not financial they're artistic.

Christopher Maynard : And you, you're fortunate that you get to balance both of those and you can find interesting work on all, all sides it seems because you know the stuff that you were doing on Hannibal I mean that that's was one of those shows that was just woefully under watched here in the States so I thought I had a it had a clearly a very you know strong following the people that were watching were very loyal to it but my god that was just a they were doing things on there that I couldn't believe they were getting away with not only from just the sort of the shocking side of it but from a story perspective that the stuff they're doing with that was beyond what I expected from that.

Richard Armitage : Yeah on a really like incredible artistic reach, you know, Bryan Fuller's vision was so extraordinary and you know it's really it's a real privilege to go and work with somebody like that because you, you have to get in pace with, with that vision and it makes you think in a different way when you understand that someone is looking at detail in the way that he is it makes you even more detailed because you know that it's going to be studied and appreciated and absorbed into the, into the material but you know the subject matter was a really, really difficult one but he made it somehow kind of an extraordinary artistic explosion and I always said that I would that I shy away from horror but this was a this was a character that I found fascinating and the writer found him fascinating as well but yeah that was a real privilege to be part of.

Christopher Maynard : Well I would honestly say that Sleepwalker in a lot of ways. It, it plays a lot like a horror film does but it just doesn't have the normal sort of the excessive violence or these other sort of things that directors and writers use to shock an audience to unnerve the audience but I do feel like there's a design here that's supposed to make the audience very uncomfortable that's evocative of horror films the great horror films and so it's definitely a thriller but it does have that horror like a great horror element to it as well.

Richard Armitage : Yeah, yeah, I would say I mean it's, it's interesting how, you know, the kind of material that comes forward in different periods of time like horror it's sort of top of the list at the moment or genre what do they call it elevated genre which is kind of artsy horror I don't know why we have a taste for it at the moment but it but what we do and I you know I think a certain, a certain level of discomfort in a film auditorium is, is not you know it's not something that I shy away from you know I recently went to see Don't Look Now which was playing in my local cinema I haven't seen it on a big screen before and I don't know if you remember that movie with Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie yeah but and but I'd forgotten how you know horror doesn't necessarily have to be heads being decapitated or flying towards the camera in 3D and what's in your mind is it can be far more unsettling than the more you actually see. I hope sleepwalker kind of just taps into that, so that thing because we all have a subconscious so it there's nobody left out, you knowm even children because, you know, children dream they have little you know pill(?) dreams.

Christopher Maynard : Absolutely. I think. I think you do tap into that and that's what the why the film really works for me and I really do hope anybody that's listening to this will you know hopefully have stopped before they got this far into it just go out and watch the movie because it's something that's wonderful that I think people should definitely be checking out.

Richard Armitage : Thank you that's, that's great thing to say.

Christopher Maynard : Well thank you again for taking time out of your evening to do this I really do appreciate it and best of luck I'm seriously I'm looking forward to My Zoe and that's you know one of those ones that I can't wait to see whenever that comes out I will be there day one for that because that's just a top of the list for me right now.

Richard Armitage : Oh that's great thanks Christopher really nice to talk to you.

Christopher Maynard : You as well. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your night.

Richard Armitage : Take care. Bye.
