DESCRIPTION

I loved meeting Rebecca Hall! She’s a down-to-earth actress who is able to match Eric Bana, nuance by nuance, in director John Crowley’s “Closed Circuit.” In the film, Hall stars as Special Advocate to the defense, while Bana stars as the defense lawyer. In the U.K. post 9/11 and 7/7, closed proceedings are regarded heavily and both defense and Special Advocates cannot communicate once evidence is presented. So what happens if they were ex-lovers?

In this interview, we talked about:

*** What attracted her to making the film?
*** How did she prepare for the role?
*** What did she learn from hanging out with the U.K. lawyers?
*** The U.K. lawyers’ drag – wigs and cape – and how it’s powerful!
*** Her courtroom scene!
