Adrien Brody Interview: Clean | Screen Rant

[ad_1]

We interview Clean star Adrien Brody about the various roles he played in the making of the new film, his next Wes Anderson movie, and more.

Adrien Brody has had a varied acting career, appearing in big-budget blockbusters like King Kong, winning an Oscar for The Pianist, and becoming part of director Wes Anderson’s troupe of frequent collaborators (among many other accomplishments and roles). His latest movie, Clean, sees Brody play a man with a violent past seeking redemption as he dedicates himself to protecting a young girl.

Screen Rant spoke with Brody about the various roles he had in the making of Clean (he also wrote, produced, and worked on the music for the film), his next film with Anderson, Asteroid City, and more.

Oxtero VIDEO OF THE DAY

Screen Rant: You are an octopus in this movie, meaning you have eight arms stretched out in the writing, the producing, but very notably the music in the film. You create the score and the original music. What was that undertaking like for you? What was it like to put your music out into the world?

Adrien Brody: Thank you. It was such a frightening and exciting realization that the music that I had been quietly working on for now 30 years had some purpose, finally. I’ve had many phases of my life where music was really so important to me and, for whatever reason, I had a day job and I was working very hard at trying to build an acting career through all those years. Music is a language. It’s a way of communicating emotion in a universal way that speaks to others. What occurred to me as I was making the film, and as I was inhabiting theme, that a similar longing and the influences that have affected me in my life growing up in Queens in New York, that made me the man that I am today and that have inspired the creative work that I do, not only as an actor, but my work as a painter, that same source is what kind of emanates from me as a musician. I started honing in on that, and ultimately created a theme for Clean, for the character, and then expanded upon that in the storytelling to enhance that emotional space and to go further into the vibe of what it’s like for these characters in that world. It was very exciting.

Will you release the soundtrack or an album?

Adrien Brody: I’d like to, yeah. I’ve been contemplating many, many variations because we have a lot of original music that I’ve made for the film, as well, that’s in the movie, some of it additional work that I had done that didn’t quite feel right, and then all that score. It’s an amazing thing, having an orchestra play, and French horns, playing synth horns that you’ve created. For it to come alive like that, I would love to share that as a musical experience as well. I’m figuring it out still, but I’m so happy that it’s part of the storytelling of the film. I feel like it is an additional character that I got to play in the movie.

I loved this different role for you because I’m so used to your collaborations with Wes Anderson. He’s one of my favorite directors. The name Asteroid City is very intriguing to me. Have you shot that movie already and how does it compare to other Wes Anderson movies that you’ve done?

Adrien Brody: Wes is so amazing and inspirational. Actually, I jumped into The French Dispatch about a week or so after wrapping Clean. We wrapped a week before Christmas and had to finish so that I could go. There was no leeway because I had already signed onto Wes’s film. So I really went from this into playing Cadazio within a moment’s notice. It was ripping this from me. But Asteroid City is going to be so fun. It’s going to be really wonderful.

Clean is now in theaters and everywhere you rent and buy movies.
