Although he doesn’t appear as the Prince of France until an hour into the Netflix movie, David Michod said it was very important to him that the actor made the character"fun.", premieres at the Venice Film Festival on Monday, starring Timothee Chalamet as Hal, the reluctant heir to the English throne, and Robert Pattinson, who the director said he cast to add "fun" and "razzle-dazzle" to the Netflix movie.
Although all actors are in top form, at an early morning press screening in Venice, Pattinson stole the show from the moment he appeared on screen. With his outlandish garb and foppish accent, Pattinson drew laughter and applause in his role as the Dauphin of France, serving as the perfect foe to Chalamet’s earnest Henry V.
Michod said that he and Edgerton did an enormous amount of research for the project. "And then we made a whole bunch of stuff up too,” he said. “The upshot is I sit here now and I kind of honestly can’t remember what’s real, what’s made up and what’s from Shakespeare.” Chalamet, meanwhile, said he was thrilled to take on a different kind of role in a film he described as being about the "manipulation of power." He discussed how as a 23-year-old he is still developing who he wants to be as an actor. "I feel that I’m really still learning, and I’m trying to chase whatever is the best version of an actor that I can be," he said.
