We spoke w/ nikolajcw about reuniting with Nick Cassavetes on GodisaBullet, the descent into darkness that the role brought, and more.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau may be best known for his role as Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones, but for audiences who didn't watch HBO's watercooler hit, Coster-Waldau is perhaps most recognized as Mark King in Nick Cassavetes' revenge-filled rom-com The Other Woman. Now, a decade later, Coster-Waldau and Cassavetes have reunited on a new film, which trades rom-com hijinks for murder, kidnapping, and plotlines that aren't for the faint of heart.
Ahead of the film's premiere, Collider had the opportunity to chat with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau about the film, why he chose to take on the project, what it was like to explore such stomach-churning and emotionally-charged plotlines, why there is so much beauty in the connection between Bob and Case, and how he approaches each role he takes on—especially one like Bob Hightower.
I mean, it's an insanely dark story, and I was convinced with a movie like that, you need someone with the passion that he has, and he has incredible passion. And then he was so focused on his vision, and I wanted to support that. I thought, “This is gonna be a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” and it was. We shot most of it in Mexico.
You have this man of faith who, when we meet him, he's kind of in an existential life crisis; he's lost his wife, he's kind of lost his purpose. He only has one thing going for him, and that's his daughter. That is the reason he gets up in the morning, and then suddenly, the worst thing that I think any parent can imagine happens. She is taken by this horrible cult.
COSTER-WALDAU: Well, it's interesting because, in many ways, it's a classic story of two people who couldn't, at least on the surface… That whole thing about don't judge a book by its cover, you have two people who, when they see the other, the other one kind of symbolizes everything they don't like about other human beings [laughs]. He's this cop who's, in her mind, he's stuck in his ways. He's full of prejudice towards her.
