Sam Rockwell Talks See How They Run and Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle
24With director Tom George’s See How They Run now playing in theaters, I recently caught up with Sam Rockwell to talk about making the Agatha Christie-style whodunnit. The film takes place in the West End of 1950s London where a seasoned detective (Rockwell) and an ambitious rookie (Saoirse Ronan) investigate the murder of a film director that was planning on adapting a hit play into a movie. The film also stars Adrien Brody, Ruth Wilson, Reece Sherrsmith, Harris Dickinson, Charlie Cooper, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Pearl Chandr, Sian Clifford, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, and David Oyelowo.
During the interview, Rockwell talked about what drew him to the material, how he prepared for the role, having Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan record the dialogue so he could learn the accent, how they got to film at the Old Vic and The Savoy Hotel because of COVID, and what someone should watch if they’ve never seen his work. In addition, he talked about working on director Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy movie, Argylle, which also stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Ariana DeBose, Rob Delaney, John Cena, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Watch what he had to say above, and below is exactly what we talked about, the See How They Run trailer and synopsis.

In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after the film’s Hollywood director is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril.
