WE chat with Hijack star Idris Elba about filming on an actual plane, which of his past characters influenced this performance, and the charged action sequences of his new AppleTV series:
Hijack follows a passenger plane over the course of a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London after it is hijacked. Sam Nelson offers his skills as a corporate negotiator to try and find a peaceful end to the hijacking while also attempting to figure out what is going on. As authorities struggle to find answers on the ground, Sam and the other passengers attempt to survive long enough to take back control of the plane from the hijackers and get home to their loved ones.
Idris Elba: I think its biggest challenge is continuity. Just understanding where you are. Even though it's a six hour flight, that's a long period of time anyway, but we shot it over five months, roughly. Just understanding where I was from one scene to another, emotionally, what I had said, and obviously, the sort of the breakdown of the situation.
Wow, I can't believe you guys shot that in an actual plane. That's insane! That's so cool. When you were crafting Sam Nelson, were there any other characters from media or even past characters that you've played that you look to for inspiration?
