They didn’t have to kill him’: The death of Lance Corporal Brian Easley
Since he was writing from London and she was writing in Los Angeles, “The process was really very vigorous,” he said. “We would stand our ground [in disagreements] but the beautiful thing was we had each other’s hands when we got notes from other people. We would have philosophical discussions and the dance was a very wholesome one.”
They sent an early draft of the script to his agent, but the actor couldn’t commit due to scheduling conflicts. “I loved it but I just kind of let that go and they moved on,” said Boyega. “And it all came full circle [years later] when they needed someone to get the movie greenlit again. [The role] was a great opportunity to show versatility. ... I was shocked that I hadn’t heard of what happened to Brian and I was moved by his story and the drama of the circumstance.
“There’s definitely an emotional weight playing somebody that has existed who has had to live a tragedy in order for you to play him,” said Boyega."[Jessica] told me it felt like I captured Brian. She was real descriptive of the experience of taking it in. She said that this movie is a direct lineage to Brian’s legacy: Brian wanted the world to know what was going on, how much frustration this was for people who’ve sacrificed so much for their country.
“Mike had a personal connection to the story,” said Corbin. “And when we sat down with him, I told him it was a dream fulfilled to work with him. And he told me it was a dream fulfilled to work on this story. He brought heart and created an atmosphere on set with everyone that he worked with. He encouraged us, he was an elder statesman to us and a friend.”
