David Thewlis - The Mercy Premiere Interview

Scott Davis from HeyUGuys interviews David Thewlis on the red carpet of the world premiere of The Mercy directed by James Marsh, held at the Curzon Mayfair in London on the 6th of February, 2018.

The actor talks about the draw of people chasing their dreams and the films people who watch them. He also talks about having fun with the character, who is not an altogether obvious villain.

Thewlis talks about working with James Cameron on the Avatar sequels, which he is filming right now, and confirmed that he is in Avatar 2 and 3 playing a motion capture character, which will take him up to 2025.

The film stars Colin Firth, Rachel Weisz, David Thewlis, Jonathan Bailey and was written by Scott Z. Burns.

The Mercy tells the incredible true story of Donald Crowhurst (COLIN FIRTH, The King’s Speech, Kingsman: The Secret Service, The Railway Man), an amateur sailor who competed in the 1968 Sunday Times Golden Globe Race in the hope of becoming the first person in history to single-handedly circumnavigate the globe without stopping.

With an unfinished boat and his business and house on the line, Donald leaves his wife, Clare (RACHEL WEISZ, The Light Between Oceans, The Lobster) and their children behind, hesitantly embarking on an adventure on his boat the Teignmouth Electron.
