Jim Sturgess Fan

Got an email with a link to this Q&A with Jim and Ben Kingsley. Think it’s a great interview. Jim also stated that he’s not doing Spiderman The Musical, so yeah there you have it.. He’s not doing it, so I will move on from that topic. (;

Here’s some parts of interview.

Did you call friends and family on the phone and speak in the Irish accent?

Sturgess: Yeah, my mum hated it. She couldn’t understand a word I was saying.

Kingsley: She said, “Speak properly!”

Sturgess: Yeah!

Kingsley: “Speak properly! Stop showing off!”

What did you learn about yourself by doing this movie?

Kingsley: You learn about each other. You learn actors, when they’re pushed into a corner, are very mutually supportive — especially in the scenes where Jim and I are very tough on each other … That’s what we learned. You learn about yourself in a situation, not about yourself in isolation. We learned a lot about that mutual dependency when the film gets dangerous. I mean, I was hanging out the back of a fast-moving ambulance. That wasn’t CGI. That ambulance was moving very fast.

Sturgess: I couldn’t tell. I was looking at the ceiling! I was strapped in. I didn’t know what was going on!

Jim, do you know what’s going on with the “Spider-Man” stage musical? There were rumors you might be cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

Sturgess: I’m not doing it … I did a workshop to help out.

Jim, can you talk about your upcoming horror film?

Sturgess: It’s a film called “Heartless. It’s kind of psychological, weird; it’s a very strange film. It’s all set in East London and it’s done. I think it comes out in February [2010].
