During
a press junket for Pacific Rim, collider meet up with actor Charlie Hunnam and
asked him about Pacific Rim, which opens this weekend, the new season of Sons of
Anarchy and if he will be appearing in del Toro’s next film Crimson Peak.
“It’s
just unbelievable. Obviously you’re so involved, you see these huge
practical sets, and you think it’s going to be good, it’s Guillermo, but you
never really know. What’s your reaction the first time you’re in that
theater watching it when it’s finally done?
HUNNAM: I haven’t seen it in a theater yet. I watched it on a
pretty big screen, like a fifty-inch screen in Guillermo’s office on the Warner
Brothers back lot and I just came out felling this overwhelming sense of for
the first time ever actually being a part of Hollywood. Like big
Hollywood filmmaking at its best. The sun was shining, I was on the
Warner Brothers’ lot, which is the coolest lot of all of them, and I came out
and I thought, “Holy shit, that’s a real slice of Hollywood.” I had no
doubt that all of the monster fighting, the Kaiju-Jaeger battles were going to
be epic, and exciting, and ferocious, and all of that, but what I was really
taken with was how well the human story worked. And more so than any of
that just how detailed and immersive the world that Guillermo had created
was. I really felt like I was transported to another world, you know?
…
There’s
no easy answer. Before I run out of time with you I’m a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy,
huge.
HUNNAM: Thank you, thank you, I love the show. I’m very, very proud
to be a part of that show.
I’m
always circling, when is it coming back? When is it coming back? I
don’t want to know spoilers at all, I care about watching it week in and week
out, but what can you tease people? Where are you in the filming process?
HUNNAM: We are on episode five or season six and Kurt is thinking that
he’s going to wrap it up after seven seasons. We’re going to do seven
seasons. So were now well into the third act and the third act of anything
is the resolution. We’ve got to start resolving some of these big
problems. So I got to figure out what I’m going to do with Clay, I got to
figure out what I’m going to do with the club, I got to figure out what my life
as Jax Teller is going to look like, because Kurt doesn’t want, I think, just
to let this thing keep on in the audiences mind in perpetuation. He wants
to bring this story to its natural conclusion, whatever that may be. So I
think it’s going to be a bloody and exciting couple of seasons.
…
I
believe Guillermo’s doing a haunted house movie. You may or may not be
involved.
HUNNAM: I am involved, Crimson
Peak.
Exactly,
when is it filming? What do you know about it?
HUNNAM: We’re going to start filming in early spring of next year and
it’s kind of a Jane Austen type of haunted house ghost story. It’s
wonderful kind of collaborating with a director. I was so proud, and
pleased, and honored when Guillermo asked me to come and star in another movie
right after we finished this one. I’ve always kind of dreamed of having a
long standing collaboration with a filmmaker like that, and god there’s no one
– I mean, I hit the lottery with Guillermo. But it’s funny he kind of saw
something in me that I felt like I would be able to do that I don’t think many
people would really consider me for, which was really also kind of sweet and
made me feel really proud. He’s a totally different character than I’ve
ever played. He’s a very kind of quiet, shy, thoughtful kind of stoic,
taciturn, very learned guy who is madly in love with the female hero, but she
just can’t even see him because Benedict Cumberbatch, this larger than life
swashbuckling ladies’ man, shits all over my love and makes it unrequited.”
