Josh Hartnett, best known for roles in films such as The Faculty and 30 Days of Night, has fully bought in to the golden age of television in his latest role – Southern gothic drama Paradise Lost. …
told Deadline that he was late to the small-screen game but is now a full convert to a world that allows for complex characters.
Hartnett plays a man who moves back to Mississippi with his Palo Alto psychiatrist partner, played by“I came a bit late to the game in television. The golden age of television had started a while ago and I was reluctant because I didn’t understand the virtue of an open ended story in the way that I do now. It’s a very organic experience, it’s as if a roadblock has been placed and has to be overcome. It becomes a much more rewarding and all-encompassing experience.
The pilot was directed by John Lee Hancock and it was filmed in Baton Rouge, where Hartnett jokes that its 95 degrees at midnight, a far cry from his adopted home of the UK. “It’s rare for me to find a script that is so intact with so many layers and so much mystery without trying to make itself seem mysterious. This concept of mystery and religion versus rationally minded scientific thinking, there’s a tiny little point where it comes together and all of the character have their own voices. It wasn’t necessarily the main plot mystery that drew me in rather than the mystery of the characters. You read a lot of scripts with cliffhangers.
