LOS ANGELES, July 31: Actress Gwendoline Christie said director Rian Johnson has done a great job of tapping into the emotional quotient in the upcoming film, “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”.
The 38-year-old actress, who will reprise her role as Captain Phasma in the much-awaited sequel, said she has been a fan of the filmmaker’s work since she watched 2005 neo-noir mystery film, “Brick”, reported Entertainment Weekly.
“What I can tell you about the next ‘Star Wars film’ is I think Rian does an exceptional job of going deeper, of going further, and really exploring what these relationships are…
“I was just so delighted to be in ‘The Last Jedi’, and for that to be directed by Rian Johnson, who is another director I’ve long admired since I watched ‘Brick’, actually; I thought that was a really brilliant piece of work,” Christie said.
