Actors are usually known to be a little difficult to themselves, with many who avoid looking at their final, cut performances at all, but Academy Award Nominee Guy Pearce Am happy to get involved in a little self -evaluation. Well … Not exactly happy.
In a new interview with Times of LondonThe Australian actor reflected on his work in Christopher Nolan’s mind -bending crime thriller ”Memory“And the” existential crisis “which was taken from visiting it in a recent view.
“I saw ‘memento’ Last day and I’m still depressed. I’m shit in that movie, Pearce said. “I had never thought it before, but I did this question and the answer by ‘Memento’ earlier this month and decided to actually look at film again. But while it was played I realized that I hatred What I did. And so all this about an Exec at Warners was why I haven’t worked with Chris again? It came crashed down. I know why I didn’t work with Chris again – it’s because I’m not good in ‘Memento.’
Pearce referred to another quote by Hans who circulated towards the end of last year in terms of a Warner Bros. Exec mainly Black list him After the release of “Memento”, he prevented him from nabbing a role in future Nolan projects.
“He talked to me about roles a few times over the years. (It was about) the first ‘Batman’ and ‘the prestige’, Pearce said in an interview with Vanity. “But it was an CEO at Warner Bros. As quite openly said to my agent, “I don’t get Guy Pearce. I will never get Guy Pearce. I will never hire Guy Pearce. ‘So in a way it’s good to know. I mean, fair enough; There are some actors I don’t get. But that meant I could never work with Chris. “
Now that he agrees with Warner Exec, Pearce understands why Nolan has not taken him to any of his latest projects.
“I tried to make a flippant attitude but it was wrong,” Pearce said in turn in “Memento.” “John Giel god once said:” You can be good in a good movie, good in a bad movie, bad in a bad movie, but never be bad in a good movie. “Yet I saw ‘Memento’ and realized that I’m bad in a good movie. F ***!”
He later added, “It’s fun; People say I should have been nominated for ‘memento.’ Now I understand why I wasn’t. Look, I’m happy with ‘La Confidential’, but I look at this and go, ‘Oof! Nails on a blackboard! ‘If I count on my performance in’ Neighbors’ are two of ten, ‘memento’ is a five … ”
Although Pearce does not expect to be reunited with Nolan soon, with the role of its upcoming project “The Odyssey” which will be bigger every day, there may be another chance yet. Until that moment comes, Pearce will continue to scrub through the script to find the next fantastic story, but not everything can stand in the Pantheonet in the now classic films he has been a part of.
“I start every script in the hope that it will be another” LA confidential “, the feeling you have been sucked into a vortex,” Pearce told Times of London. “But many times, on page 20, I think, ‘ah, damn. “”
Pearce is currently on their way to best actors at the upcoming 97th Academy Awards for their performance in Brady Corbet’s American Epos, “The Brutalist.”
The “brutalist” is currently in theaters from A24.
