'Last Voyage of the Demeter' Cast Couldn't Even Look at Dracula on Set
The Big Picture Director André Øvredal and the team behind The Last Voyage of the Demeter prioritized capturing as much in camera as possible, a creative choice that made all the difference in a number of respects, but especially when it comes to heavily amplifying the sheer terror of their Dracula.
PERRI NEMIROFF: I know you did a sailing boot camp for this movie, and David, I know you had a little experience so you had an advantage in that department, but for both of you, of all the skills you learned during that boot camp, what came most naturally to you? But then I also want the opposite. What part of that boot camp was the most challenging for you to pick up on?
LIAM CUNNINGHAM: Yeah, it's a funny one. We were in Rostock on this gorgeous boat with all the ropes and sails and all that sort of thing. I think David's been too kind to me. I had a bit of trouble with that little yellow rope we were trying to do these knots with. But I was asked by the instructors, “Do you want to go up and start pulling the sails up?” And that sounded a bit too much like work to me and I went, “Nah, he wouldn’t do it. He’s the captain.
I'll always take an opportunity to shout out Javier Botet because he is a legend, and everybody in this business should know his name. Liam, I have 3 Body Problem on the brain because they just released the trailer for that. Having worked with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss on Game of Thrones, what do you think made the two of them particularly well suited to also lead that adaptation of a very popular book series?
