Q: Was it difficult shooting this while being pregnant? But it did just feel completely inappropriate. It is very much a horrific sequence in the movie, and these are definitely the bad guys that need to be brought to justice.
ROSAMUND PIKE JACK REACHER MOVIE
It was going to be Jack Reacher Day in Pittsburgh, but unfortunately, our movie opens with a sniper attack in a town center and it’s very uncomfortable. Do you agree it was the appropriate thing to do? Q: The Pittsburgh premiere was cancelled following the Connecticut tragedy. But Tom says it in a way that’s like I’m not sure I want to put five more guys in the hospital. So the violence is really linked to the character and the plot. Just before he takes out these five guys, he sort of looks at them, and says, “Remember, you wanted this.” Somebody else would have delivered that line kind of like an action hero. I don’t think I’ve seen it in a Tom Cruise movie before. What I find interesting about the character of Jack Reacher, especially as Tom plays him, is that there’s this sort of weariness behind the eyes, a kind of resignation to the fact that he has to go through this again. Pike: I don’t think our movie really glamorizes violence. Q: Are you opposed to the violence in the movie? How did you feel about it? You want the movie to be as good as it can be. (The job) lends itself to that sort of thing because you care so much. I think most actors are really. You rarely meet one who is not. He makes the call based on all kinds of things like road conditions. He doesn’t just drive the car he tunes the car. You are not talking about a guy who has the kind of hubris that makes him want to do stunts. Pike: Yeah, I left the movie thinking I want to say I’m the only actress who is able to do all my own driving stunts. So did you pick up some of that fearlessness from him? I much prefer to audition and get that scrutiny out of the way. If you haven’t auditioned for something, which also happens, you can feel like you are being scrutinized and judged from Day One. I never mind auditioning, I think auditioning is a good idea, because it means when you take your first step on set on the first day, you know that everybody has already signed off on you. Q: Did you have to audition to know if you and Tom had chemistry? Sometimes with a star, you can feel there’s a kind of no-fly zone and sort of a protective shield. Pike: Yeah, he’s interested in who you are, and the surprising thing to is if you ask him a direct question, you get a direct answer back. He kind of makes you feel relaxed and empowered, rather than diminished and someone that is as famous as he is could easily make you feel smaller in his presence and he actually makes you feel kind of larger. For a start, he’s the legendary movie star who has created all these kind of iconic characters you have grown up with and then you get behind that and you meet a guy who is interested in you. Pike, now the proud mother of an eight-month-old son, Solo, with businessman Robie Uniacke, recently discussed working with Cruise and the violent backdrop of the film. She teams up with Reacher, an ex-Army investigator who discovers the shooting incident was more than just a random act of violence and sets forth to find out who was behind it and why. But the former Bond girl suggests carrying a few extra pounds during filming may have actually humanized her character.Īs Helen Rodin, she plays a defense attorney who takes on case in which she defends a sniper who is accused of killing several innocent pedestrians in a shooting spree. Pike unknowingly was pregnant during filming, which created a bit of a challenge for both the British actress and the wardrobe department. HOLLYWOOD-Rosamund Pike co-stars with Tom Cruise in the action thriller “Jack Reacher,” based on the popular Lee Child book series. (Left to right) Tom Cruise is Reacher, Lee Child is desk sergeant and Rosamund Pike is Helen in JACK REACHER.
