As a fervent admirer of Scoot McNairy’s captivating acting prowess, I can confidently say that he’s truly living his dream. His career trajectory is nothing short of inspiring, with one remarkable performance after another. Speak No Evil, in particular, showcases his versatility as an actor, tackling a wide range of characters on the big screen.
I recently interviewed actor Scoot McNairy prior to the premiere of his latest critically acclaimed film “Speak No Evil.” In this movie, he shares the screen with James McAvoy in a chilling weekend-from-hell storyline. I couldn’t help but praise McNairy for his impressive workload lately, as he’s been juggling numerous projects set to debut this year and beyond, including the eagerly awaited Bob Dylan biopic titled “A Complete Unknown.
A chance to star in a legendary biopic about Bob Dylan seldom arises; being involved with the iconic Bob Dylan biopic is an opportunity that only comes once in a lifetime,” McNairy shared with MovieWeb. “I didn’t hesitate for a second when I learned about this role. James Mangold, whom I’ve admired for years, and Timothée Chalamet, who is incredibly gifted, are part of this project. What they’ve created with this film, I can hardly wait for everyone to witness. It’s a remarkable performance, as well as the movie itself. Anyone who loves music or Dylan, even if you’re not, I believe you’ll enjoy this film, and I’m just as eager to see it as anyone else is.
In our previous conversation, we connected with McNairy during the premiere of his critically-acclaimed indie thriller “Blood for Dust”. His latest film, “Speak No Evil”, showcases once again his versatility as an actor in Hollywood. During our chat, he expressed his gratitude for his career and opportunities, saying, “I always pinch myself; I’m incredibly thankful for the chances I’ve been given.” This specific project, however, required some effort on his part to secure a role. He was drawn to it due to the original’s authentic portrayal of discomfort and politeness, as well as its exploration of psychological horror, which he believes Blumhouse excels at. The director, James Watkins, is also praised for his expertise in this genre.
On McAvoy’s ‘Absurd’ Performance
In “Speak No Evil,” I found myself captivated by numerous intense scenes shared with the charismatic McAvoy. These moments could potentially haunt your dreams or make you squirm uncomfortably in your chair – in a delightfully thrilling way. As James often expressed, he relished pushing each scene to its edge of discomfort, even venturing beyond it at times for comedic effect. However, his sheer enjoyment in exploring and mastering these roles was infectious, making us all eager spectators as he skillfully portrayed a wide range of personalities. Truly, he delivered an outstanding performance that left me in awe.
For those who haven’t seen it yet, “Speak No Evil” is a modern adaptation of a critically acclaimed Danish film from 2022 with the same title. Actor McNairy, who portrays a character originally played by Morten Burian in the original version, shared how the original’s influence shaped his own performance.
The guidance from the movie’s director was remarkable. I found Burian’s role simply astounding… I became deeply engrossed in Burian’s acting and his interpretation of it. I admired it so much that I took it further than intended. However, this was my initial inspiration. I was truly captivated by his stillness, and I felt the impact of it was exceptionally powerful.
From Universal Pictures, Speak No Evil is now playing in theaters.
