Chris Hemsworth exclusively reveals what he liked about filmmaker Bart Layton’s past projects before working together on Crime 101.
Crime thrillers are fan favorites, each year, inviting millions to the theaters with interesting releases and the need for some stress relief. Another big one in the genre is coming our way this February 13. Upcoming film, Crime 101, under the Amazon MGM Studios banner, promises a fun and exciting watch, reuniting Marvel buddies, Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, for a cat and mouse chase film.
In an exclusive reveal to us, actor Chris Hemsworth shares his thoughts on meeting up with filmmaker Bart Layton and what it was like to go through the film’s script.
“I read the script and loved it because it felt like a real throwback to ‘90s thrillers,” reveals Chris Hemsworth. As to why it was special, he adds, “There was a sort of nostalgia to the story that you don’t see too much these days.”
Coming face-to-face with the director was an interesting moment for the actor who had watched many of his previous works. “I was a fan of Bart’s work and loved American Animals. It was a very character-driven drama with elaborate intersecting storylines. After our first meeting, I thought not only has he written an incredibly compelling script, but he also has a brilliant vision for the film,” says the 42-year-old.
