Here are some quotes from the Vanity Fair article:
âFrom an actorâs point of view, [it was about] trying to interrogate whyâwhy this person
did what he did, with the acknowledgement that you were never going to find that answer,â
says Redmayne. âBut the interrogation of it was pretty intriguing.â
âIâve been in these big ensemble piecesâgrand, symphony things where, as an actor,
youâre playing one instrumentâbut I thought this would be more like improvisational
jazz,â says Redmayne. âAnd working with someone as brilliant as Jessica was exactly
what I was looking for.â
Both Chastain and Redmayne went to ânursing schoolâ and studied footage of their
real-life counterparts, along with reading Graeberâs book. Redmayne found the book
to be an especially useful tool as he prepared to play Cullen.
âHeâs using metaphor and visual imagery, which I find interesting because when
youâre playing someone real, itâs never going to be facsimile, itâs always going
to be a step away from the truth,â says Redmayne. âIt was also interesting to hear
what Charlesâs impression of the man wasâthe little things, like, he describes
Charlie as almost looking like a question mark.â
Redmayne reunited with movement coach Alexandra Reynolds, whom he worked with
for his Oscar-winning role in The Theory of Everything, to master how he would move
as Cullen. âShe noticed that actually it was almost like he was being held up by the label
on the back of his shirtâthatâs where all the tension was placed, and that was interesting
to investigate something physically,â says Redmayne, adding that he had no contact
with the real-life Cullen, who is serving 17 consecutive life sentences in New Jersey
State Prison in Trenton.
Redmayne transforms completely in the role, not only dropping his British accent for
a New Jersey lilt but shifting his entire body. âThereâs a thing he does at a table where
his fingers clutch the top of a desk almost like a spiderâitâs exactly something from
interviews [with Cullen]. What he does in this movie is astounding,â says Chastain.
âI come from the U.K. where there is health care thatâs universal and not for profit,â
says Redmayne. âWhen the hospitals are set up for profit, people can get careful and
lawyers make decisions that are protecting the business and not necessarily the people,
and I do think that was one of the reasons that Charlie was able to move from hospital
to hospital without interrogation or inquiry.â
âI thought that this is what Robert Benton must have felt like when he did
âKramer vs. Kramer,ââ says filmmaker Tobias Lindholm,
âhaving these best actors of their generation right in front of him.â (x)
