O’Barr admits he was persuaded to jump on board by the film’s Spanish director, F. Javier Gutiérrez, making his English-language debut following 2008’s acclaimed Before The Fall .
“It was his idea to go right back to the source material and essentially shoot it shot-for-shot, as in the book, but with a little more backstory for some of the characters,” O’Barr told us.
“He wants to be as faithful as possible, even down to all the visual metaphors of trains and horses.”
On the new film’s casting, O’Barr added:
“The producers showed me some shots of [ Luke Evans ] in the make-up and the tragedy really shows on his face, especially his eyes. He has a really commanding screen presence.”
