Guy Pearce has discussed filming A Spy Amongst Friends with Damian Lewis shortly after his late wife Helen McCrory's death in April last year. The actor said he could feel the actress' 'essence' on set as they filmed the drama together.
Have YOU got a story? EmailGuy Pearce has revealed the startling reason he missed out on a role in Christopher Nolan's Batman movies - despite being friends with the director.
However, Pearce, 57, was ultimately denied the role by circumstances out his control - and has in fact never worked with Nolan since then. The problem was that immediately after Memento, Nolan began a long professional relationship with Warner Bros., where one particular executive was not a fan of Pearce's acting and vowed 'never' to cast him.
He did not specify which role he discussed in The Prestige, a 2006 thriller starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as dueling stage magicians in Victorian London. Pearce had previously played the lead role of an amnesiac in Nolan's 2001 neo-noir picture Memento , alongside The Matrix bombshell Carrie-Anne Moss
'So I get there and Chris is like:"Hey, you want to see the Batmobile and get dinner?"' said the The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert star. The following year, Warner Bros. released its whole theatrical slate in cinemas and on HBO Max simultaneously, prompting a scathing response from Nolan.
