Clive Owen On Playing Ernest Hemingway For HBO (HUFFINGTON POST)



The Huffington Post | By Alex Suskind


Clive Owen recently sat down with Moviefone to discuss his work in "Sin City," "Children of Men" and, his latest film, "Intruders." However, he also spent a few minutes talking about his upcoming TV role: playing Ernest Hemingway in the HBO special, "Hemingway and Gellhorn."

When it came to researching the late writer, Clive made sure no stone was left unturn.

So you are about to play Ernest Hemingwawy in HBO's "Hemingway and Gellhorn." Besides slugging whiskey and shooting bears, what sort of preparation did you do for the film? 
A lot, actually. I took months out and traveled a lot. I went to his house in Cuba. I went to Hemingway's Paris, Hemingway's Madrid, read everything . It was an amazing project. It was a wonderful script. Philip Kaufman is such a great director. And obviously [acting] with Nicole Kidman -- it was one of those rare [movies] that felt like a real gift.
