De website Collider heeft recent een interview gehad met Ben Mendelsohn over zijn rol als Orson Krennic in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Die film is overigens fookin a, want ik heb hem gisteren eindelijk gezien en ik moet zeggen dat deze een aanrader op en top is.


Was it one of these things where he discussed the character with you or did he show you a script?

MENDELSOHN:
No, he discussed the character and told me the story. And then there was a period of months that went by with nothing, then it became more formalized and then I think -I can't remember the first time what happened with the actual script itself. I mean, I know there was a bunch of things that had to be signed and stuff. I don't remember if I had to go to Disney and read it there or something, the first time. But yeah, that's how it came to be anyway.

I'm curious, from what he told you that day to what people are seeing on screen, is it very similar to what he pitched you?

MENDELSOHN:
In terms of the overall swoop, yeah, very much. I think that Krennic developed sort of along as we went, he had different ideas. And he settled yet on exactly -He was still thinking of a couple of variations in a lot of things at that stage. If you want to talk about alternative takes on things, there's been quite a few different renderings of this within Gareth's mind, and I dare say some of it's been captured on film. So there are different renderings.
