Steve Carell: Welcome to Marwen Interview
Steve Carell: Welcome to Marwen Interview
Steve Carell has had yet another very busy year with a number of challenging performances. Beautiful Boy hit theaters in October, he plays Donald Rumsfeld in Adam McKay's upcoming movie Vice, and then there's also Welcome to Marwen, which takes Carell into the world of performance-capture for the very first time.
The movie is based on the documentary from Jeff Malmberg called Marwencol, which tells the story of Mark Hogancamp, a man who was nearly beaten to death and lost a significant amount of his memory. Ultimately Mark had to take his recovery into his own hands so he created a World War II town and populated it with dolls that represent his friends and also his attackers. Carell leads the movie as Hogancamp and in Robert Zemeckis' big screen adaptation, that means playing Hogancamp as he builds and photographs Marwen as well as his doll alter ego, the dashing fighter pilot Captain Hogie.
With Welcome to Marwen hitting theaters on December 21st, I got the chance to sit down with Carell to talk about the story he was eager to bring to screen, even before joining the cast of Zemeckis' film. You can check out what he had to say about that, trying performance-capture for the first time, and the inevitable loss of doll arms and legs during production in this video interview.
