Patel wasn’t even on Lowery’s initial casting list for “The Green Knight...”

so lowery went to lenscrafters, good to know.

He likened it to the flow state reached by great athletes, or even to Kate Winslet on the prow of the Titanic: “And there’s a metaphorical DiCaprio behind me,” he said, extending his long arms and grinning.

why is he cute and handsome aaaaand funnyyyyy! siiiiir! stop iiit! this ho wellalr1ght can't take iiiit!

The fact that he doesn't think he's handsome makes him MORE handsome

[slaughtermatic]

That's what makes him beautiful~

It still baffles me that actors like Dev and Daniel Kaluuya came from Skins. There are quite a few from that cast that made it big after the show.

season 1 was def the seedling gen! Cause of majority of the well-known/successful ones are from that season. Jack O'Connell is the only one(?) who got successful after that season.

jack faded away pretty quick too after a couple of years trying

it's really half the gen one cast that came through - dev, daniel, nic hoult, and the two who got a bump from GOT (joe dempsie and hannah murray)

Yeah, to me he kind of wasted his talent going the easy route.
His earlier indie works post Skins are sooooo good ('71, Starred Up), I just wished he'd keep on choosing interesting projects and focus on his performance instead of focusing on getting successful by playing with big names.

OP did you get refunded or a chance to see it at the next showing?

Dev seems like a good guy. I wonder if he's still friends with that Skins crew. I know some of them are tight.

Since apparently the movie itself was corrupted somehow, they couldn't even use it for the next showing so we just got passes for a free movie in the future 😒 I just immediately bought a ticket for a time tomorrow at a different theater :/

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know you're a Dev stan and you've been waiting for the film (like a lot of us here) since forever. Hope the next screening delivers for you ☺️

[wellalr1ght]

It sort of felt like a cosmic joke at that point like WHY MEEEEEEE but yes, I hope the next one will go smoothly lmao thanks bb 💖

“ he found himself so taken with Patel’s potential that he started drawing a picture of the actor on horseback.”
Today I found out I’m David Lowery.
