Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffmann explain how they approached filming the intense argument scenes in Netflix's Eric.
in an exclusive interview, Cumberbatch and Hoffmann were asked how they approached filming the argument scenes that show their characters’ marriage falling apart in 2024’s Eric.
“It was shockingly easy to start fighting with Benedict right off the bat ,” Hoffman said. “No, really so much of it is there in the brilliant writing of Abi Morgan and then to have Lucy Forbes, the most capable director of all, to help guide us through it. But we talked a little bit about it leading in. We found a lot of it on our feet, of course, but it wasn’t too hard. The sort of nuts and bolts of where they were and why they were there made a lot of sense to us.
Cumberbatch added, “ guess because there’s a sort of gradation of state and mental health and the developing crisis outside of the marriage that’s helping to implode it. It was really important to sort of navigate that and not be too shouty all the time or to the other where, where the elements of real danger, physicality, the staging of it was difficult. It was our first few weeks.
“So questions were asked, and there were a couple of moments of going, ‘Hold on. The TV schedule. Hold on, hold on.’ We just need to talk about the nuts and bolts of this ’cause I don’t know what I’m doing. You’d have to just pick certain bits apart. But like Gaby was saying, Abi and Lucy were there and amenable and provided the space and the safety, encouragement, and the elimination of ideas or the investigation of them to make it work. So it wasn’t a hardship in the end.
