We don’t know too much on who’s playing who in the upcoming film from the Wachowski’s titled “Cloud Atlas” and today Hugh Grant is offering a lot more insight into his roles, and his reaction to them, in an interview while promoting Pirates! Band of Misfits.
It’s the strangest film, strangest script, strangest offer I ever had. To play six small parts, all of them appalling killers and rapists, and some of them 85-year-old men and others Korean slave drivers. I thought maybe they were having a joke at my expense when they asked me to do it. So I said, ‘Is this a joke?’ And they said, ‘No man, we love you!’ And so I said, ‘All right, I’ll do it,’ and I loved it.”
It was hard not to love being the Korean slave owner. My slaves were Korean girls who were replicants serving in a fast food restaurant a few thousand years in the future, all in tiny little uniforms, and my job is to corral them and abuse them.”
