Actors...

If you overhear a phone conversation from someone that suggests they work in casting…

DON’T FOLLOW THEM TO THE COFFEE SHOP AND ASK FOR AN AUDITION.

If you DO follow them to the coffee shop and ask for an audition, when they say “I’m on my lunch break and wanted to get some writing done” LEAVE THEM ALONE!

DON’T SAY “Oh good, now you have time to talk” AND DON’T SIT AT THEIR TABLE.

Sincerely,

A casting assistant who had to leave the coffee shop in order to escape and didn’t get her lunchtime writing done.

Theatrical tradition, backed by Shakespeare’s implied stage directions, affirms that Richard carries a small dagger constantly on his person, as seen here at the bloody denouement of Act 5. The dagger has come in handy for Richard in many ways. It is his sinister weapon of choice, metonymically standing in for his character, like Brecht’s Mack the Knife.

At the very least, no shadow of doubt remains, pace Ricardians, that Richard’s spine curved from the waist in a severe hump. Stage tradition, not flattering portraits touted by apologists, some real historians among them, carried this fact from the 15th century forward to the present as part of a living repertoire.

The metonymical property dagger, however, needs no exhumation, even though it humbly waited, dulled for safety’s sake, and scored with many blows over time, in the Yale property room weapons chest, to do its vital symbolic work. Richard not only toys with it and wields it in deadly earnest—he is the dagger.

‘Taboo’ EP Steven Knight spoke with Deadline about working with Tom Hardy, the nature of the East India Co, Taboo’s pacing, and the future of ‘Peaky Blinders’. He said Alfie’s coming back in PB S4 (yay!), and that Taboo could possibly have a 3-season arc, in which case James Delaney would set foot in North America. Here are some highlights:

DEADLINE: …you place the once almost all-powerful British East India Company as the adversary of Tom Hardy’s James Delaney, between whom there is a deep and dark not-so-hidden history. Why?

KNIGHT: I think the East India Company represents what we would think of as a very modern approach to the world where everything was counted, every penny was counted.

They were a huge multinational that had the added impetus that they felt they were spreading Christian civilization around the world — so they were pretty free to do anything they wanted. They weren’t an evil organization that went around deliberately oppressing people, but they were driven by profit, and how familiar is that now?

The story of James Delaney is also someone who very deliberately presents himself as an individual and plays nations against each other, plays the East India against the Crown, all of those sort of overwhelming concepts that ran the world at the time. He as an individual is sort of like a grain of sand in an oyster who is irritating all of them. But for me he’s a creature of the time, like the industrialists who started the Industrial Revolution who extricated themselves from their class and their background

DEADLINE: Part of the thrust of the series is the battle that Delaney has with the East India Company over the strategic Nootka Sound land that Delaney’s father owned off the West Coast of what is now Canada. So will we see the series step foot in North America?

KNIGHT: Not certainly in this first eight hours, but we have plans — well, certainly I have plans — if we get given the green light for more. The plan is that there would be three seasons, and, as with Peaky Blinders, I have had a destination in mind from the beginning, because I think it helps as a writer. The destination in mind is that James Keziah Delaney sets foot on Nootka Sound. But that’s a long way off.

DEADLINE: Where will you find the time? It’s not like you both aren’t busy.

KNIGHT: I think when we first set out on this we’d go well, eight hours we can tell the story, you know, the story — beginning, middle, and end. But I know Tom has loved it so much really, has been so involved as a producer and as an actor. I’ve enjoyed it so much that we would both be ready and willing to do Series 2 and Series 3 and see where it goes.

DEADLINE: Speaking of where it goes, there is a very distinct pacing to Taboo, an unraveling of events and secrets and consequences that doesn’t conform to the usual dramatic format. Why take that approach?

New interview at The Wrap:

Tom Hardy Talks ‘Taboo’: ‘One of the Most Tortured Characters I’ve Ever Played’

Beatrice Verhoeven | January 10, 2017 @ 6:00 PM

In FX’s “Taboo,” Tom Hardy plays a tormented man returning to England following his father’s death after spending 10 years in Africa — and as it turns out, James Delaney is one of the “most tortured characters” Hardy has ever played.

“Delaney is probably one of the most tortured characters I’ve played because for me, he’s connected to everyone in the piece in a very personal way,” Hardy told TheWrap. “It wasn’t just about playing James Delaney but also about really immersing myself in everyone else.”

The New York Times | Tom Hardy Is at Home as Hero and Villain in ‘Taboo’ | by Alexis Soloskijan | Jan 6, 2017

As stars go, Mr. Hardy is less containable than most. On a recent wintry afternoon at the Ritz-Carlton hotel overlooking Central Park, Mr. Hardy’s tattooed biceps only just lodged inside his tight black T-shirt and his legs spilled over the arm of the puffy gold chair where he sat sometimes spooning up chicken soup, sometimes sucking on an e-cigarette. His quick, confounding mind leapt from one association to another at turbocharged speed. […]

Mr. Hardy spoke about his influences for the show; his beard; and why he won’t gallop on horseback. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

Tell me about James Delaney.

We wanted to kind of create a modern story, some new writing, which felt like it had come from a book that hadn’t been found 100 years ago and then see what we could do without any dragons or C.G.I. James Delaney is an explorer, a Machiavellian sort of type. He should run the gamut from heinous to noble. He’s gone so far through barbarousness and savagery that he’s come out the other end.
