Aaron Paul on ‘Triple 9’, ‘The Path’ and the ‘Need for Speed’ Sequel
330With director John Hillcoat’s (Lawless) Triple 9 opening this weekend, I recently sat down with Aaron Paul for an extended video interview. During our wide ranging conversation he talked about working with the all-star cast, memorable moments from filming, collaborating with Kevin Hart and “national treasure” Dwayne Johnson on Central Intelligence, his new TV project The Path, the international success of Need for Speed and a potential sequel, his reaction to Better Call Saul and how he wants to have some lines on the show, and a lot more.
If you haven’t seen any of the trailers, Triple 9, scripted by Matt Cook, follows an interconnected web of thieves and corrupt officers who plan to murder a cop in order to draw attention away from the heist they’ll be pulling on the other side of town. The film features an all-star cast made up of Paul, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Gal Gadot, Teresa Palmer, and Norman Reedus.
