Jack O’Connell von Sünden explains the whole Irish vampire thing

And how is it that half a guitar hangs out of your face?

They only think: “This is demented.” That was all with magnets, and … obviously (per) vampiric tradition are very reactive vampires on silver. So this smoke that you see out of Remmick’s skull is not a VFX. You have upgraded all of this and we have life.

You have a few accents for working: The Southern Twang, and occasionally he falls back into an Irish Brogue. How do you find accent work?

It helps if the accent is definitely something. If it is generally or difficult to place, it is often more difficult for me. So it was great that Remmick at least pretended to get from North Carolina. And when it came to his Irish, I just wanted it to support the region from which my family comes from Kerry, a kind of munster. It is part of the job that I really enjoy … it is a great entry point for your characters.

They had ever played the banjo sinner?

Not really, man. I have a few guitars, so I thought it was translatable. But yes, brilliant team around us and a lot of time in our hands. I got there early and took one in the Denmark Street.

And you have some great music numbers. Were you worried about singing on the screen at all?

I was massively concerned. I’m still. But I think you just have to do it damn, don’t you? I love the idea of ​​making a musical. This is the next that I have. (It is a) amazing arena to do it with (composer) Ludwig Göransson, Serena Göransson – you would get a melody out of you two. If we did not take pictures on the set, we were mostly in the recording studio, either tried to find it or just take it off. Maybe a few A little whiskey, just a touch.

Did you work with a vocal trainer to find the voice voice, or was that all of course?

I was in a privileged position with the fact that the music style, the traditional Irish stuff, is in my bones – through Irish dancing as a child and then developing a great kind of appreciation for the great recording artists in this music genre. Liam Clancy, Luke Kelly … definitely only in pubs and things.

You know it is a music to which I have a strong connection, and it’s a bit of a goal for me in terms of my inheritance and my relationship with my father, who died. It is all and I think that’s music for you.

Remmick stays late in the film in an Irish dance. Of course did that come back?

I think the last time I had done it, it is probably five or six years ago, Down O’Dwyers Bar in Derby. I couldn’t even tell you whether it was a weekend or not. But of course I invited it as a child.
