We welcome Dacre Montgomery back to Popcorn Podcast to discuss his profoundly timely film, Dead Man's Wire. In 1977, Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård) entered the office of Richard Hall (Montgomery), president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired with a 'dead man's wire' from the trigger to Tony's own neck. Director Gus Van Sant (To Die For) hopes his film doesn’t merely revisit a moment in history, but opens a conversation about how frustration, alienation and loss of control can twist into something volatile. In our chat with Montgomery, the Australian actor shares why he couldn’t resist working with legendary director Gus Van Sant and screen legend Al Pacino, as well as the physicality this performance demanded.
