With director Nora Fingscheidt’s The Unforgivable now streaming on Netflix, I recently got to speak with Sandra Bullock and Rob Morgan about making their social drama. If you haven’t seen the trailer, Bullock plays someone just released from prison after committing a violent crime. As she tried to re-enter a society that refuses to forgive her past, her sole focus is finding the younger sister she lost touch with. The Unforgivable also stars Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, Richard Thomas, Linda Emond, Aisling Franciosi, Emma Nelson, Will Pullen, Thomas Guiry and Viola Davis. The film was written by Peter Craig (The Town, Bad Boys for Life), Hillary Seitz (Insomnia), and Courtenay Miles (Mindhunter).
During the interview, Bullock and Morgan revealed their reasons for making the film, how they each get ready for a challenging scene, why they want the audience to judge what’s happening in the film, and more. In addition, with Bullock being a true crime TV show junkie, she suggests the first show you should watch if you haven’t seen any and they both suggest the first thing to watch if you have never seen anything they’ve done.
Watch what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
