ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to The Thicket stars Leslie Grace, Gbenga Akinnagbe, and Levon Hawke. The trio discussed the fresh take on the Western genre, their characters, and more. Directed by“When fierce bounty hunter Reginald Jones is recruited by a desperate man to track down a ruthless killer known only as Cutthroat Bill , he rallies a band of unlikely heroes including a grave-digging ex-slave and a street-smart woman-for-hire.
Tyler Treese: Leslie, just like today, we get to see your natural hair really on display in The Thicket. It is so cool to see in a Western, but it also signifies her escape and this starting anew for the character. So, what did you like most about that character development?: Yeah, man. That was really exciting for me to talk about with Elliot. Upon me joining this gang of brilliant folks, I was just like really excited to build a character with him, and from what you get to see of her.
So you see her kind of come into her own and her hair kind of come into her natural state. So I thought that it was really cool that we get to introduce that into the character and into this Western world where we rarely get to see women with their natural hair. It really helps me build the character from the outside in, in that sense.
Gbenga, I loved you in The Wire, and you’ve had some really great roles in TV and film, but I can’t recall ever seeing you in a Western before. So what’s it like getting to still be doing such fascinating and fresh roles decades into your career?: First of all, wow. I guess I have been doing this for a while. I’m fortunate. I feel very fortunate. I still think about it as far as the roles I get to do. I get to do really cool projects for work with really good writers and actors.
Levon, you have some romantic moments with Leslie in the film. How was it building that chemistry? In a film that’s very dark, it’s nice to see some hope and some nice scenes, rather than just people dying all the time: What I loved about it is me and Leslie from the second we met, we were just great friends. What I think is really interesting about their relationship is it’s these two kind of lost, lonely people who really just come together, not out of necessity or some insane fire.
