This Veteran's Day sees the release of Midway, Roland Emmerich's action-packed recounting of the Pacific front in WWII, starting from the attack on Pearl Harbor and building to the titular offensive that turned the tide in America's favor. We're not short of films depicting the Greatest Generation, but Midway does its level best to offer up a snapshot of the many figures involved in one of WWII's most pivotal battles. Central to the ensemble are Navy pilots and Pacific War heroes Richard "Dick" Best (Ed Skrein, Alita: Battle Angel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) and his best friend Clarence Earle Dickinson (Luke Kleintank, The Man in the High Castle, The Goldfinch), who evince the high-flying derring-do of Emmerich's battle-hardened cast. I sat down with Skrein and Kleintank to discuss the responsibility that comes with honoring the sacrifices of America's Greatest Generation, the intense research that goes into playing such mythic real-life figures, and how much gum Skrein had to chew on set as his hotshot pilot.
