With directorOtto Bathurst’s(Peaky Blinders)Robin Hoodnow playing in theaters, I recently sat down withJamie FoxxandTaron Egertonto talk about the retelling of the classic story. During the interview, they talked about how this film is different from any previous version ofRobin Hood, what it was like filming scenes with hundreds of extras, working on the action scenes with second unit directorSimon Crane(his incredibleresume here), why people should be excited to see Egerton asElton JohninRocketman, and more.
In the second half of the interview, they played “Ice Breakers,” a fun game that includes topics like which TV show you would want to guest star on, your favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, the film that scared you as a kid, what you collect, the movie/TV show props you own, and more. I’ve found the game always leads to learning some fun stuff about the people we interview and this one was no different. For example, did you know Jamie Foxx has a new appreciation forThe Exorcistand Taron Egerton would love to guest star onBetter Call Saul?
