With directorOtto Bathurst’s(Peaky Blinders)Robin Hoodopening in theaters this week, I recently sat down withJamie Dornanto talk about the retelling of the classic story. During the interview, he talked about how this film is different from any previous version ofRobin Hood, if the real reason he did this movie was his love of the animated version ofRobin Hoodand his crush on Maid Marian the fox, what it was like filming with hundreds of extras and making a movie on such a grand scale, his love of theRobin Hoodstory, and more.
In the second half of the interview, Dornan played “Ice Breakers,” a fun game that includes topics like which TV show you would want to guest star on, your favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, the film that scared you as a kid, what you collect, the movie/TV show props you own, your phone’s background photo, and more. I’ve found the game always leads to learning some fun stuff about the people we interview and this one was no different. For example, did you know Jamie Dornan lovesThe Golden Girls? Or how growing up he never thought he’d be in the entertainment industry?
