The Brutalist Interview: Guy Pearce & Felicity Jones Reveal Secrets Behind Film's Culminating One-Shot
Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones are reuniting in The Brutalist. Prior to starring in Brady Corbet's epic historical drama, Pearce and Jones topped the bill in Breathe In . In the time since they last worked together, the two have put years on their respective careers, with Pearce adding titles like Iron Man 3 and Mary Queen of Scots to his filmography, while Jones put in career performances in The Theory of Everything and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Posts Ahead of The Brutalist's theatrical release on December 20, ScreenRant spoke with Pearce and Jones to discuss the meaning behind the film's fatherly themes, reveal how the third act's one-shot was filmed, and look back on their time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Star Wars galaxy in the form of Iron Man 3 and Rogue One, respectively.
The Brutalist's One-Shot Was The First Take "The stakes were so high..." Erzsébet has this monumental scene where she has a big confrontation, if you will, and it's a one-shot if I'm not mistaken. I would love to just get your memory of that day on set, what it was like to shoot that scene, and if it took many takes or if you just did that all in one go.
Felicity Jones: It was the one because it was the one when the shoe came off, which we could never have designed. That was just movie magic really, that she in that moment is reduced. She's had this moment of heroism and confrontation and defiance, and then even within that moment she gets reduced to being shoeless an animal basically.
Felicity Jones: We'll never say goodbye to her. She will live on, she'll live on. I mean, never say never. She's a pretty badass character. She could come back as a hologram or something, which is completely possible in the Star Wars universe.
