Serenity: Director Steven Knight Interview

Serenity: Director Steven Knight Interview

With Aviron Pictures' new thriller Serenity opening in theaters this weekend, I recently sat down with writer-director Steven Knight for an extended video interview in the Collider studio. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about how the project came together, putting together the incredible cast, what he learned from early screenings that impacted the film, how he likes to edit, why he will remove entire scenes and not just a line or two, how he decided to place clues to figuring out the twists and turns of the movie, and so much more. In addition, with Knight involved in some many other projects, I got updates on Eastern Promises 2, Taboo season 2, A Christmas Carol with Tom Hardy, his Apple series See that he’s doing with Francis Lawrence, and a lot more.

If you haven’t seen the Serenity trailers, the film stars Matthew McConaughey as a fishing boat captain whose life is upended when his ex-wife (Anne Hathaway) tracks him down and asks him to kill her abusive husband (Jason Clarke). The film also stars Djimon Hounsou, Jeremy Strong, and Diane Lane.
