Filme und TV

I wasn't really concerned that he look like Schindler. Liam had the charm and the bearing of Schindler. And he had the presence of Schindler. He had the charisma, just existing there without doing very much. And he also had the humanity that would always be there, you know. It could be latent, but it would always come out when he summoned it. And so I felt that he was the best choice I could make for Schindler. In terms of age and height, he wasn't as big as Schindler - Schindler was a big, portly man with huge shoulders out to here.

I had to actually pad Liam's costumes a lot to get his shoulders to even be two inches broader than they actually are. But I felt that he could carry it as sort of a figurehead of great deeds. I tested him on film, and his test was wonderful. And then Anna Christie just simply confirmed to me that of all the actors I'd been talking to for a year and a half to three years, he was the one that I wanted the most. I also didn't want to put a movie star in the part because I didn't want the distraction of a whole bunch of other movies to cloud this one. It would have been easy, I had the movie stars coming to me for this part. I just didn't want to go that way.

For the role, Spielberg cast the then relatively unknown Irish actor Liam Neeson, whom the director had seen in a Broadway play called Anna Christie. “Liam was the closest in my experience of what Schindler was like,” Spielberg told The New York Times. “His charm, the way women love him, his strength. He actually looks a little bit like Schindler, the same height, although Schindler was a rotund man,” he said.

“If I had made the movie in 1964, I would have cast Gert Frobe, the late German actor. That’s what he looked like.”

..should actors stick to their own accents?

In Elia Kazan's Viva Zapata from 1952, Marlon Brando (born Nebraska, US) seems more ardent in his Mexican accent than Anthony Quinn (born Chihuahua, Mexico). Quinn got the Oscar.

But perhaps we care less about how convincing an accent is than we do about the quality of the film.

We are happy for Americans and Brits to do foreign voices in the right settings and to do each other, as long as it's well, but show us a rubbish film and we'll zero in on the bad accent.

And if you really want authenticity, why not just take the Mel Gibson route and do it all in Aramaic with subtitles.

Hard Powder will be directed by Norwegian filmmaker Hans Petter Moland.

Neeson plays Nels, an “upright snowplow driver” whose son is murdered by a local drug kingpin.

“Nels’ vengeance sparks a turf war between a Native American mafia boss and the Viking, a fastidious gangster who wears Tom Ford suits, is a vegan, drives a Tesla and murders people. This climaxes in a final showdown that leaves almost no one unscathed,” Variety reports.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Hard Powder will be an adaptation of Moland’s Norway-set thriller In Order of Disappearance.

The film will be produced by Michael Shamberg, who worked on Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty, among others.

The movie, which is set in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, sees Neeson plays a snowplow driver, who seeks revenge against the drug dealers he believes killed his son.

However, his quest for vengeance sparks a turf war between two rival gang bosses, one of whom is played by Canadian Métis actor Tom Jackson.

According to production manager Warren Carr, the filmmakers had been hoping to shoot at the Columbia Ice Fields, at Lake Louise and in downtown Banff.

But, Carr told Daily Hive via email, that Parks Canada had turned them down.

“One of their excuses was related to First Nations issues,” said Carr.

“But our First Nations Cast, including the award winning Canadian actor Tom Jackson, see there is no issue other than Parks Canada making decisions relating to First Nations without consulting any of the Treaty Seven Nations.

“They see it as placing restrictions on the opportunities for First Nations actors.”
