I had a really nice chat to Mackenzie about the character. He's great. I'm so happy with him as Sonny.
These are some things we talked about;
I wanted to as Mackenzie what he wanted out of the role, because if there was something he was looking for, then it might be a nice place to start working together.
- Character backstory
- Who was he?
- Where? What did he do?
- Father – manic depressive. Memories of father alone at the kitchen table. Untouchable. Sonny never understood. Until now.
- The watch?
- What has actually happened to Sonny?
- The crime?
- How did he get here?
- Sonny trapped alone with thoughts. What’s he been thinking about?
- “Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.” – Doesn’t understand why he still exists. Like his life came to a horrific climax
- Scene – dialogue
- Why does he talk to Ellis?
- Why does he seem to trust Ellis?
- Why does he talk about his father?
- Why the watch?
- Film recommendations? (Relevant or otherwise)
- Book recommendations
- Music?
- What can I do for you?
