The actor and executive producer also shared another full circle moment from the Apple TV+ drama and how he approaches scripts from Cary Fukunaga, Damon Lindelof, and David Lynch.
“I don’t want to sway anyone either way,” Theroux said.
After premiering at Tribeca, the horror movie drops on Hulu next month.
While clearly indebted to the likes of “Breaking Bad” and “Ozark,” Neil Cross’ adaptation floats a few fresh ideas — and one magnetic turn.
Fortunately for Theroux, there’s a good chance he would have been cut from the movie had he been cast.
Lindelof and Theroux would get a second chance to work together on HBO’s acclaimed “The Leftovers.”
“The Leftovers” lead stars in and executive produces Apple’s adaptation of his uncle’s 1981 novel of the same name.
“Mosquito Coast,” written in 1981 by Paul Theroux, also inspired Peter Weir’s 1986 film starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix.
“Support the Girls” scribe Andrew Bujalski wrote the screenplay for Disney’s upcoming remake, which will launch on the same day as Disney+.
Theroux says a specific editing choice is a key to unlocking the truth about the acclaimed drama’s final moments.
IndieWire Honors: The “Maniac” star celebrates the eclectic director for the fact that “he’s not going to paint with the same color every time.”
