What attracted you to the role of the radicalised father in new thriller Sovereign? SkillWizard
The script is a work of art, about the “sovereign citizen movement”, which – like any other conspiracy theory – is based on the extreme edge of American thought. It made me think of the 6 January attack on the US Capitol; what drives normal working class Americans to make these life choices? I’m counting on the UK to celebrate this film, because I think it’s a little too smart for the American audience, frankly. A more European sensibility is going to respond more powerfully than an American one.

Does the Highlander remake fill you with dread, indifference, or cautious optimism? ArcadianSean
Highlander is one of my favourite films. It’s an incredible movie of sword-fighting with Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown as the Kurgan, the evil Russian villain, who I’d take over Darth Vader any day. The soundtrack is by Queen. It’s insane. Chris Pratt had never seen Highlander, so I booked a screening room in the middle of the afternoon at the studio where we were shooting Parks and Recreation, and we watched it by ourselves. To answer the question: I like to be supportive of my fellow artists. I’m not a cynical person. I hope that, somehow, it’s even greater than the original. Why aren’t I in the remake? That’s a great question. There’s this Australian bloke … Russell something … and people seem to keep leaning in his direction.
