Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult, Tye Sheridan, and Jurnee Smollett Discuss The Order at TIFF 2024
28For a film that Oscar-nominated writer Zach Baylin (King Richard) describes as "challenging to get made right now," it takes a cast and crew of driven individuals to execute a timely crime thriller like The Order. Based on Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt's bestseller and true story The Silent Brotherhood, Baylin and director Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders) brought on an A-list cast to breathe life into this dark moment of history that remains relevant to this day — and they did it in under 40 days.
Two-time Academy Award-nominee Jude Law (The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain), Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road), Tye Sheridan (Ready Player One), and Jurnee Smollett (Birds of Prey) lead the charge in a film that tells the story of the neo-Nazi white supremacist Robert Jay Mathews (portrayed by Hoult) and the fictional law officer, Terry Husk (Law), hellbent on putting an end to this cult leader's growing movement. Taking place in the early '80s, the ignorance and hate that drives The Order bears a chilling resemblance to current times.
To celebrate their North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, the writer, director, and core cast joined Collider's media studio at the Cinema Center at MARBL to chat with Steve Weintraub. Kurzel, Baylin, Law, Sheridan, Hoult, and Smollett sit down to discuss the film's relevancy, the character nuance, and why it's important to ensure this true story is known. Hoult talks about attempting to understand his character's ideologies, Kurzel touches on paralleling the worlds of Husk and Mathews, and they all discuss filming this action-packed thriller on a limited schedule.
