So I found myself in a van, alone, with monitors, walkie-talkies and headsets in order to communicate with the crew and with Jake. I was negative, but I couldn’t jeopardize the whole movie. So that was a great experience with Jake.Īnd then on The Guilty, because it was Covid, I had to work out of a van, outside of the studio, because someone close to me got Covid. We were in a gym, and since neither one of us was the champ of the world, it was very humbling to be around people who do that for a living. It just felt much more grounded because we weren’t in some fancy restaurant or anything like that. But it’s also a great time to just really sit and talk in between setups, training sessions or during lunch. It can also be painful, unless you’re in shape, because you’re in epsom salt all the time. It was a very humbling way to learn each other because you’re physically challenging yourself to do something that’s complicated to do. But yeah, I felt like if he was going to do two-a-days, seven days a week, it would be a great time to do it with him so he could see my commitment as well.
So when it comes to The Guilty, was talking on the phone for 11 days the closest shared experience this time? You mentioned Jake’s intense training on Southpaw, and if I recall correctly, you thought it was only fair to ask Jake to do this if you were also doing it yourself. If you enjoyed the person and had a great experience and hopefully became friends out of it, why wouldn’t you go back to the well, especially if you learned and grew from the experience? When people are good to you, you should be loyal and good to them as well.

That was just a code I grew up with, which I don’t find a lot of anymore. Where does this type of loyalty come from in your estimation? Whether it’s Jake, Denzel, Ethan Hawke, Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt or Haley Bennett, you’re obviously quite loyal to various actors. He really gives all he’s got and then some. So I fell in love with that guy because that’s a tough thing to put yourself through. I watched how disciplined he was and how he started doing two-a-days, seven days a week, to get himself in shape and to really understand fighting and the science of boxing. Jake had never boxed before, so I watched him with my trainer. But it was when I took him to the boxing ring for the first time. I knew he was a talented actor he’s proven that for a long time. Was there a specific moment on Southpaw where you knew you had to keep working with him? So Jake is one of several actors you’ve reunited with over the years. Then he looks back at Training Day and the advice his younger self could give him now. In a recent conversation with THR, Fuqua also discusses his busy 2021 slate that includes Emancipation with Will Smith, The Terminal List with Pratt and Mayor of Kingstown with Jeremy Renner. I don’t know that I would’ve been able to do what she did.” I think she’s such an amazingly strong person. So I just found her to be amazing, and then I hired her again on The Terminal List with Chris Pratt. “Early on, when we first talked on the phone, she said to me that this was something she needed to do. I can’t imagine the pain that she was going through at the time, and I think it was good for her to have the outlet,” Fuqua posits. “After a while, I came to realize that she needed the outlet. While Fuqua was blown away by Keough’s performance, he was initially quite sensitive to the fact that she was dealing with such dark material after suffering a personal tragedy of her own a few months earlier. During the course of the film, Baylor receives a disturbing call from an abducted woman named Emily Lighton (Riley Keough), and the call ends up changing his life forever. The Guilty revolves around LAPD officer Joe Baylor (Gyllenhaal), who’s been relegated to a 911 call center as he awaits the outcome of a shooting incident he was involved in months earlier. It just turned out that way, but once again, we were just in it together.”
We were both trapped, and that wasn’t something that was planned. He was locked in a room with all my cameras, monitors and the other actors on the phone. Ironically, he was in the same situation. “So I found myself in a van, alone, with monitors, walkie-talkies and headsets in order to communicate with the crew and with Jake. I was negative, but I couldn’t jeopardize the whole movie,” Fuqua tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I had to work out of a van, outside of the studio, because someone close to me got Covid.
