Jacob Tremblay

I just need to read this headline I, I saw.

Um, Jacob Tremblay found his fame as a child star.

Now he's playing the Unabomber.

And, uh, in, in this quote...

He said most of the time when he was filming Room, he said, "Most of the time I would just see a sea of legs.

I was almost in a different world than everyone else physically and mentally." Um, when he plays the Unabomber, do you think he can become a them? Okay, bye.

Jacob Tremblay, which the New York Times points out, T-R-O-M, Tromblay.

I've always thought it was Tremblay, so I've been wrong for 10 years.

He later abandoned society for a tiny cabin in Montana and became one of the most notorious domestic terrorists in American history.

The new Netflix film Unabomber, starring Russell Crowe, Shailene Woodley, and Jacob Tremblay, goes back to Ted's years at Harvard, where he participated in controversial psychological experiments, and also brings to life the massive FBI hunt that eventually brought him down.

Joining me today is the film's director, Janus Metz.

Janus, welcome to Killer Thriller.

It's really, and the film does such a great job of juxtaposing that certainly nefarious kind of goal in my opinion.

[laughs] And then also simply being a 16-year-old boy who's trying to figure out all the ins and outs of what that is to be so accelerated as he was and be in an environment that is a pressure cooker in many ways, and, um, it really...

Let's, let's talk a little bit about Jacob Tremblay, who's so wonderful.

He's like an otherworldly presence, this kid.

You're dealing with really phenomenal actors in this movie.

Um, I especially love seeing, uh, Jacob Tremblay just grow up right before our very eyes and becoming the actor that he is today.

Mm-hmm.

And then you have Russell Crowe, who lends tremendous star power and gravitas to pretty much anything that he chooses to take on.

Exclusions apply.

Yeah, I think we can take them one at a time.

I mean, Jacob Tremblay, for instance, who was like the, the, the first and only act that I considered for the part, um, you know, part of what made him so interesting was he's...

I think Jacob was so curious and so open and so willing to take on a difficult role like this.

And remember

child star Jacob Tremblay? Well, he's not so little anymore.

He turns 20 next month, and he's talking to us about his new movie, Unabomber.

Janice, welcome to Killer Thriller.

How can we avoid people being communist? And how can we potentially revert communists into not being communists?

It's really – and the film does such a great job of juxtaposing that certainly nefarious kind of goal, in my opinion, and then also simply being a 16-year-old boy who's – trying to figure out all the ins and outs of what that is to be so accelerated as he was and be in an environment that is a pressure cooker in many ways.

The movie alternates between two timelines, Kaczynski's consequential teen years and his time attending Harvard University in the 60s and his prolonged manhunt decades later in the 90s.

Jacob Tremblay portrays Ted Kaczynski while being surrounded by an all-star cast featuring Russell Crowe, Shailene Woodley and Annabelle Wallace.

Looks like a bit of a wee cracker.

Worth a nose, I'd say.
