Jack O'Connell chats with THR at the 'Sinners' premiere and describes how it's hard to put this film into one genre. Plus, he explains what it was like performing musical numbers in the film and describes what fans can expect from '28 Years Later.'
Transcript
00:00Congratulations on this film. I know Ryan Coogler said that this is much more than just a vampire horror.
00:06So how would you describe this genre and also the other elements at play?
00:11Ah man, I've been dreading this question. It's difficult for me to encapsulate.
00:20And that's probably the whole point of this conversation, right?
00:25All I can say is, whatever you think it is, think again.
00:30But it's guaranteed it's a good night out. All day, whenever you go and see it, you know?
00:37I also heard it's kind of part musical. What can you say about that element of it?
00:42Yeah, it's all singing, all dancing. Always wanted to do a musical.
00:47We had Ludwig Goranson, Serena Goranson in charge of all of the music.
00:55So obviously they're like top level expertise in the recording studio a lot.
01:00So I was living my best Beyonce life on this one. I'm sad it's over.
01:05Are you a tenor? Are you a bass? What would you say in your singing range?
01:09I'm versatile, yeah. I'm ranging. I'm ranging, yeah.
01:12A little bit of a belt?
01:13A little bit of a belt. It depends where I am, you know? It's circumstantial.
01:16I love that. I also know, I said this is more than a vampire horror, but there's been a lot of iconic vampire movies throughout the years.
01:24What would you say is one that really changed the game for you?
01:27You say I'm a massive Gary Oldman fan. So his Dracula was kind of a little bit, I hope I'm not saying too much here, but a little bit of a North Star for me doing this.
01:41Yeah, yeah. But Gary Oldman in general is, you know, fair to say.
01:45Looking at that for inspiration. Next up, you have 28 Years Later.
01:49What was it like kind of being a part of that cast, and what are you excited for fans to see?
01:56Amazing. Amazing. Really lucky to have done this, gone straight on to 28.
02:04Was in good company here, was in good company there.
02:09So it was amazing. It was amazing. Nice to keep the momentum from this and then on to that.
02:14And yeah, look, we go there. We go there on it.
02:19So, I think, yeah, I don't want to say too much. You know what I mean?
02:30You
