John Boyega on Breaking, Star Wars, and that long-awaited Attack The Block sequel

BreakingI read the script and I was blown away. I had a frog in my throat, I was very emotional about it, I was sitting up, I was standing up reading it. It was very intense. I feel like the emotional journey the audience is going to go through is what I went through. So I wanted to be a part of it. And then I was at a stage in my career when I was thinking about what to do after being involved in [], such a big franchise. What was the next step? And versatility was the answer.

AVC: And part of that is the challenge of doing justice to a real person? You got to know Brian Brown-Easley’s wife, correct?All of them being unlocked means you can link them with your current cellular service provider and get set up immediately.Yeah. It was great, because you need those pieces. You need somebody that’s had intimate time, day to day time, with this person to understand the character.

AVC: Where does John Boyega factor into your process of building a biographical character? Do you think of it as a Venn diagram of this real person overlapping with yourself?AVC: So when you’re playing someone else, you’re not there at all?Yeah. I believe in an overcommitment to the character. Because if I think about me, that’s what makes you be hungry for movie star moments out of your character. Like, “Nah, I don’t want to get punched to the ground, I want to be cool all the time.

Movie review: John Boyega gets a dramatic showcase in ‘Breaking’Within the first 10 minutes of 'Breaking' a man walks into a bank and hands the teller a note comprised of four words: 'I have a bomb.' From there the film becomes a tense, mostly real-time thriller with a masterful central performance from 'Star Wars' star John Boyega as a former Marine driven to the edge by a cruel, broken bureaucratic system. I’ll never watch another one of his movies. Dude has a chip on his shoulder and is mad woke.
