And Kurzel recalls how as the events of January 6 unfolded, a chilling present-day parallel emerged.
There were these kind of expressions of one of the chapters in the book,Day of the Rope.
Then there were reports of the copies ofThe Turner Diariesbeing around at that event as well.

Or are they following him because hes the only one thats listening to them?

And its interesting because indeed those agents are obsessive.
They believed utterly in the Bureau.
Law also reached out to agents who were in service back in the 80s.
And that kind of devotion really intrigued me, that kind of all-in attitude.
How does he cook it?
What does he want?
How does he wash and what does he wear?
He was extremely active and strong.
And I talked to Nick about, Well, physically you should come [to set] like that.
And I always find that really interesting with actors.
I do these little manifestos before I start with actors, and a lot of it is about doing.
How do you wake up?
How do you get out of bed?
Do you go to the toilet first?
Do you drink a glass of water first?
Law and Hoult also kept their distance before and during shooting to add to that sense of tension.
However, his connection to co-stars Sheridan and Smollett required an entirely different approach.
And with Tye, it was a very easy friendship to forge.
I do think there is enormous empowerment in listening, Kurzel says.
To have had a sort of shaven-headed, mustache-twirling villain wouldve missed an opportunity.
Law describes hisBlack Rabbitcharacter as a guy whos operating on borrowed time.
Hes trying to modernize, hes a modern man.
And so, it was another very happy experience.
And hes also great company.
You feel like youre onto something good.
The Orderis in theaters December 6th.
