Harbour also talks about 'Violent Night 2,' his character in James Gunn's 'Creature Commandos,' & working on DC for the next 10 years.
The Big Picture If gamer-turned-elite-race-car-driver Jann Mardenborough’s story in Gran Turismo sounds unbelievable, you aren’t alone. The star power behind Neill Blomkamp’s underdog film, David Harbour, is right there with you. In fact, while talking with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, the Stranger Things alum said, “If it wasn’t a true story, it would be the dumbest movie of the year.
DAVID HARBOUR: If it wasn’t a true story, it would be the dumbest movie of the year. People would be like, “This is a stupid wish-fulfillment story that Sony cooked up to entice all you gamers.” But yeah, the fact that it really happened grounds it in this true wish-fulfillment story. It's an incredible true story.
Then he also was doing this crazy stuff with drone cameras where they had all these guys with [FPV] drones going 160 miles an hour, weaving in and out of these cars, and they were just crashing them all over the tracks. I mean, it was nuts what they were doing. And I was like, “This film…he's taking risks.” He was doing his work, he's an artist. And I knew he would fight the right battles, and I knew he would make a movie that we could be proud of.
So, in that way, when I think that I can control things, I'm usually worse. When I just let him do his thing, if I'm in the hands of a good director and I'm just sort of in it, living, he showed me that it's better that he controls that. You also know you're gonna be doing a lot of ADR down the road. I only have a little bit of time left with you, so, you know, Violent Night did very well. When do you think you're playing Santa again?
