Crime thrillers are fan favourites, attracting millions of people to theaters every year with interesting releases and the need for some stress relief. Another big film in this genre is coming this 13th February. The upcoming film under the Amazon MGM Studios banner, Crime 101, promises to be a fun and exciting watch as it reunites Marvel pals, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, for a cat-and-mouse chase film.
In an exclusive reveal to us, actor Chris Hemsworth shares his thoughts about meeting with filmmaker Bart Layton and what it was like to read the film’s script.
Chris Hemsworth explains, “I read the script and I loved it because it’s really reminiscent of 90s thriller movies.” On why it was special, he adds, “There was a kind of nostalgia in the story that you don’t see too much these days.”
Coming face to face with the director was an interesting moment for the actor who had seen many of his previous works. “I was a fan of Bart’s work and loved American Animals. It was a very character-driven drama, with elaborate interconnected stories. After our first meeting, I thought not only had he written an incredibly compelling script, but he also had a great vision for the film,” says the 42-year-old.
