Miles Teller Says Chris Hemsworth Is Capable of So Much Beyond Thor
64As Chris Hemsworth described it, making Spiderhead was like working on a piece of theater. The project was made in a short period of time with only a small handful of closed sets and heavily focused on how the characters drive the story forward. Key to pulling something like that off? Cast range and chemistry, and Hemsworth and Miles Teller certainly have both.
The film gets its name from the Spiderhead facility, a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by Hemsworth’s Steve Abnesti, a genius mogul testing mind-altering drugs. Folks like Teller’s Jeff are inmates at Spiderhead and while they are afforded far more freedom and amenities than they'd get in a standard prison, they’re only able to have all of that if they agree to have a drug-administering device surgically implanted on their back so that Abnesti can run experiments on them.
An especially vital element of Spiderhead is Hemsworth’s ability to show off great range in the role. He needs to convey Abnesti’s brilliance and give him a level of charm that encourages trust, but he also ensures you always feel the darkness bubbling under the highly manipulative and rather cruel tactics he uses to get the data required. Yes, we all love Hemsworth as Thor, but with every non-MCU project he adds to his filmography, it becomes more and more undeniable that Hemsworth’s range is limitless, and that’s something Teller was able to feel while working with him on Spiderhead.
Check out what he had to say about that and so much more in this interview!
