Naomie Harris (NaomieHarris) talks 'being the change' in action thriller BlackAndBlue
The screening of the Sony film seemed more like a celebration, with the cast and crew alike saluting Deon Taylor throughout the evening. Says Frank Grillo,"He's one of the most gracious and giving directors I’ve ever worked with."that presided over the red carpet of a special screening of the film in New York on Monday night. While neither director Deon Taylor nor the movie's scribe Peter A.
"Being the change is not expecting change to happen outside of you, but actually saying that the buck stops with me," Harris told. "And if I really want things to change, I have to be active. I have to do something about it. I have to take the moral stand." The topic of police corruption, can be polarizing for some — especially as the conversation has turned into a partisan one, with the "Blue Lives Matter" movement alive and well. But whilemay sound like a film that concentrates on the exploration of hot-button political issues, Taylor said that's not exactly the case. Instead, the film "fuses action and thrills with a message.
"If you make an art-house film about this, no one in the world wants to see it. We see it every day on our phones. Our young kids, our youth, the culture — we’re tired. We’re tired of watching that," Taylor told. "So the last thing they want is a movie that beats over the top of their head. But if you make an action movie and you don’t put anything in it, you just get an action movie. So I was really, really lucky to be able to make a movie like this and mesh the two together.
"This film embodies everything that I’ve always wanted to be a part of. Here, we have a female lead who is the moral compass of the movie … and she’s not valued because of her sexuality or anything like that," Harris said. "It’s just that she is a badass. She’s a kickass, strong, fierce, independent, hugely intelligent, and morally strong female. So I loved that. Then I also love the fact that it’s a movie that is super exciting.
