00:08No
00:08Do you ever meet Richard Roper?
00:10Roper is a world class arms teatro
00:11He's the worst man in the world
00:20Nope
00:22Just to answer really short
00:23No I don't
00:24I mean
00:29You know you look at
00:31I mean I did look at quite a lot of
00:33Spy things but I also wanted to
00:35I wanted it to
00:37Be
00:39To have a real
00:41Sort of character driven
00:43Element so
00:45No we weren't really
00:47Looking at
00:49Anything specific
00:56Well it was off in 1993 and there was made a few attempts to make a feature film out of
01:02it
01:02And I think what made this real was the fact that it was a television series
01:07That it was not just two hours, that it was like a longer piece of storytelling
01:13Which then could be way more complex
01:17And in the attempt to
01:18I mean it's been updated
01:20So it's now taking place in present time
01:22As opposed to in the 90s
01:24And it's also been moved geographically
01:27And
01:28You know the character of Burr
01:30Which in the novel is a man
01:32Is in the television series
01:34A woman played by Olivia Colman
01:36So there's been
01:37Made some quite distinct decisions
01:41In terms of updating
01:42And in terms of transforming it into a television series
01:46But
01:47We've all been adamant
01:49To maintain the heart of the novel
01:52I want to put you inside this operation
01:54Welcome to the family
02:02Well I think they're perfect
02:08I mean Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie was chosen
02:11Was involved
02:12Before I got involved
02:13Or
02:14More or less at the same time
02:16And they
02:17Part of
02:18Of what excited me about the project
02:20Was the fact that
02:21You know
02:21The trinity between
02:23John de Carré
02:23Hugh Laurie
02:25And Tom Hiddleston
02:25I just thought was
02:27Irresistible
02:28And then
02:28We got an amazing
02:30Rest of cast
02:31Which is just
02:32We've just been
02:33Incredibly
02:34Fortunate
02:37Who are you?
02:39Someone's been prying into my affair
02:46Well I mean the novel
02:47I remember
02:49I read the novel
02:50When it came out
02:51And I remember
02:52Being
02:53Being
02:53So intrigued
02:55By the cat and mouse game
02:56Between Richard Roper
02:58And
02:58Jonathan Pine
02:59Who was played by
03:00By Hugh Laurie and Tom Hiddleston
03:02And
03:03Part of what
03:03I was
03:05So keen about
03:06With the television series
03:07Was to maintain
03:08That sort of
03:10Playful seduction
03:11By the two men
03:12It's
03:13It's a kind of weird
03:15Love story
03:16Between two men
03:17In a
03:18I mean
03:18Not in a
03:20Sexual way
03:21But in a sort of
03:23Mental love story
03:25Where they
03:25Each seduce each other
03:27And each are
03:27Incredibly dangerous
03:28For each other
03:29And that cat and mouse game
03:31Was just
03:32Very, very intriguing
03:39Well I mean I think in a way
03:41The locations are
03:43Players on their own
03:44I mean they can be characters
03:46And particularly Richard Roper's villa
03:49It was very
03:50We were very
03:51Very keen to find
03:52The villa
03:53Richard Roper
03:53Because
03:54That villa sort of
03:56Represents his world
03:57And
03:58And
03:58I mean
04:00It was
04:00It was
04:02Intriguing
04:03And it was a
04:03Challenging
04:04Exercise
04:05But it
04:06I mean no one
04:08Had
04:08Had any doubt
04:09That that was like
04:10The most important part
04:11In terms of the
04:12Of the
04:12Physical production
04:14Was finding those locations
04:15So
04:16They had that
04:17Lavishness
04:17And that
04:18Sense of
04:20Richness
04:20Which this world
04:21Needs to have
04:30I mean I think in a way
04:33The
04:34Biggest challenge
04:35Is
04:36The sort of
04:37Is
04:38Sort of
04:38How
04:39You get
04:40Jonathan Pine
04:41And how you get the audience
04:43Seduced into the world
04:44Of Richard Roper
04:45Because
04:46It's kind of like
04:47He's the worst man in the world
04:48And yet
04:49He's the one
04:50Whom you won't see
04:52He's next to you at a dinner
04:53He's the one
04:54You
04:54I mean you want to be in his world
04:55I want to be in his world
04:56Jonathan Pine want to be in his world
04:58And
04:59And yet
05:00It's a world of weapons dealing
05:02It's a world of
05:03Of
05:03It's a very cynical
05:06Bad world
05:07And it's super attractive
05:09And I think getting that balance right
05:10And
05:11And seducing
05:13Audience and Jonathan Pine
05:14Into that sort of world
05:16Is probably
05:17The
05:18The
05:19The biggest challenge
05:23To
05:24To
05:24To
05:24To
05:24To
05:26To
05:26To
05:27To
05:28To
05:28To
05:28To
05:29To
05:30To
05:32Grazie a tutti.
