I was able to talk with Garrett Hedlund and Noah Schnapp about their new film, The Tutor. Since the film relies so heavily on the mystery at play and has quite the game-changing end, the actors had to really skirt around the subject. But I still really enjoyed getting some more insight into their roles. Given how much of a physical transformation Hedlund goes through here, and with how much Schnapp plays against type, I think this will be one to remember. My review will release later this week and I absolutely loved the movie as it reminded me of a 90’s De Palma film. And be sure to check out the trailer, where you can actually see my own quote for the film (around the 1:38 mark).
The Tutor Synopsis: An in-demand tutor for the East Coast monied elite, Ethan (Garrett Hedlund) lands a high-paying assignment to instruct a billionaire’s son, Jackson (Noah Schnapp), at a remote New York waterfront estate. Almost immediately, Ethan realizes that his student’s interest in his life borders upon obsession. As tension grows, Jackson’s accusations threaten to expose Ethan’s perceived dark secrets to his girlfriend (Victoria Justice) and the authorities. As sentiment turns against Ethan, it is up to him, and only him, to unearth Jackson’s accusations and prove his innocence.
