“The Lady” Script Brought David to Tears

Amanda — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:25:55 +0000

David Thewlis says he cried when he first read the script for his new film, “The Lady”. The actor dropped out of one of his existing projects so he could take part in the film. He said: “It was one of the quickest decisions I’ve ever made. I was actually signed to do something else and I pulled out within eight hours of reading [The Lady]. It made me cry actually, which I’ve never done at a script before.”

Stupid Horse Questions at the ‘War Horse’ Premiere
David Thewlis, Matt Milne, Robert Emms and Stephen Lang stop by at the New York premiere of “War Horse” and tell us why a horse is a horse, of course, of course…unless it goes to war.

The Big Star Missing From The ‘War Horse’ Premiere
There is one star, however, who was relieved that Joey and his friends couldn’t make it to the premiere. It seems David Thewlis, who plays proprietor Lyons, doesn’t much care for horses.

“I didn’t have much to do with them, fortunately. I didn’t go near them. I don’t like to go near horses … They hurt me. I’ve done a lot of films with horses, and they’re just trouble on a film set. I’m fine with them, but they don’t like me. I’m glad they not here on the carpet. I think at the London premiere they’re going to be, and I will not be on one. I’ll be in a car.”

David Thewlis on Adult Love, Social Change and “The Lady”

Amanda — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 09:12:22 +0000

David Thewlis, like many of us, was only minimally familiar with the story of ‘Aung San Suu Kyi’ when he was first presented with the script for director Luc Besson’s “The Lady.” But did not know the story of her marriage, or that she had left her husband and two children behind in her fight.
