Video: David Thewlis talks Remus Lupin & Harry Potter films (UPDATED)
David Thewlis was interviewed recently while promoting his upcoming film (released this Friday), The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, in New York City. He discussed getting the role of Remus Lupin in Prisoner of Azkaban and the phenomenon that is the Harry Potter film franchise.
Quote:
Q: Do you find with directors, like with Alfonso Cuaron, did he say he was a fan of "Naked" when you were working on "Harry Potter?"
A: Yeah. He'd seen other things I'd done. Things where I play gentler characters, like "Restoration" or "Seven Years in Tibet." "Harry Potter" was one of the easiest jobs I ever got. I didn't even have to meet Alfonso. I just got a call saying you've got this part.
Q: Did you have any reluctance with "Harry Potter," like there's a lot of baggage that goes with it?
A: I wasn't thinking about it much when I said yes, because there'd only been two films out at that time and it wasn't a huge machine like it is these days.
Q: Is your daughter too young for Harry Potter?
A: She's seen little bits of it. I switch it off when it gets scary.
UPDATE: David was interviewed by KTLA, where he talks in detail about the Potter films, including Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows:
