‘It was a pretty dark atmosphere,’ the actor tells EW of working on the film.
‘This isn’t a nice guy that I’m portraying.’
Ive known Sam for years and shes a dear friend of mine, Ford tells EW.
Ford rubs his chin to recreate his deep contemplation from that evening.
Some little thing, he says.
It was a glimmer.
And I thought, Oh my god, he would be so perfect as the villain.
Taylor-Johnson plays Ray, the leader of that gang.
This really was an opportunity to explore something very different, says the actor, 26.
I was grateful for the challenge, even if it was a bit relentless and a pretty dark atmosphere.
This isnt a nice guy that Im portraying.
It said a lot about Rays ego and his arrogance.
Those were his Friday night going-out boots.
And this night hes looking for trouble.
So Taylor-Johnson wears one such souvenir on his finger.
I was wearing a little plastic pinky ring, he says.
It was a plastic, girly heart ring, like something youd find in a magazine.
It was interesting and specific and begged the question of its origin.
Where did this piece of jewelry came from?
It wasnt anything sentimental.
In fact, it was the opposite.
