#Repost @kouroshkeshiri: There are times, out of pure respect, when you cannot direct your subject, you just shut up and shoot, and be grateful for your position in life. This was one of those times, here's to you Mr. Gary Oldman, you are the man

“One day I came into work, Gary had gone, and there was Winston Churchill. The most extraordinary transformation from the way he moved, the way he walked, the way he spoke – he became Winston Churchill.” - @kristinscottthomas #DarkestHour @vanityfair (

"I didn’t need to tell him what a great character it was or what a great script it was. I just needed to tell him he was the only man for the job, that he could do it. A director’s job is often giving people the confidence to do their best work. And I knew he could, cause he’s a genius.” - Director #JoeWright on convincing #GaryOldman to take the iconic #Churchill role in #DarkestHour.(
