Courtesy EpixOscar-winner Adrien Brody has had quite a career in his 30+ years of acting. Having won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as Wladyslaw Szpilman in The Pianist, Brody went on to be a frequent collaborator with Wes Anderson in films such as The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Darjeeling Limited. Adrien is also no stranger to the world of horror and sci-fi, having been in such films as M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village, Nimród Antal’s Predators, and Vincenzo Natali’s Splice. Always striving for a memorable and intense performance, Brody is an actor who gives his all to the role until he embodies the character. And that’s no different for his latest role as Charles Boone in CHAPELWAITE, an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story, “Jerusalem’s Lot.”
For the release of CHAPELWAITE, Nightmarish Conjurings’ Shannon McGrew spoke with Oscar-winner Adrien Brody where they discussed everything from working within the world of Stephen King, pulling a worm out of his nose, and more.
Official Synopsis: Set in the 1850s, CHAPELWAITE follows Captain Charles Boone (Adrien Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history, and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.
CHAPELWAITE stars Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”), Jennifer Ens, Sirena Gulamgaus (“Orphan Black”), and Ian Ho (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and is executive produced by Brody, Donald De Line, and Jason and Peter Filardi.
