Taron Egerton stars as Henk Rogers in the film Tetris. The actor, who’s widely known for his breakout role in the film franchise Kingsman as Eggsy, discussed the wild story of Tetris and his desire to direct a film someday.
The actor has previously stated his desire to dive into the world of directing. He shared that he recently got the opportunity to be involved behind the scenes for the film adaptation of Josh Silver’s debut novel HappyHead. Although he won’t be directing, this will be a great start for him to learn more on the creative side of making a film. Egerton is set to produce the film, he told Collider,
“I won’t be directing HappyHead, but I do intend to be a very hands-on creative producer. And I think that feels like a healthy step towards the creative nucleus of sort of storytelling, if that’s not a horrendously pretentious turn of phrase. And I hope that the lessons I begin learning through more active grounds-up producing will equip me for an eventual step into directing. But, I’m not enough of a grown-up yet, but the time will come, and I think I’ll know when it’s right because it will feel like a story that I have to tell.”
From there, he can start gradually directing short films. He added,
“You know, maybe I would start by, perhaps, directing a short. That’s something that I thought about. I have a loose idea for something. And also, it has occurred to me that perhaps directing– I don’t know, I shouldn’t even say that, actually. That’s something I should keep to myself because I’m oversharing. But yeah, I’d still love to do it.”
The Wild Story Behind The Biographical Thriller Film Tetris
Taron Egerton’s film Tetris was just released through AppleTV+. The story of Tetris is based on the real life crazy story of how the game was popularized. When the actor first got the script, he was more concerned on how much of it was true and how much was made up. The real life story of the biographical thriller film Tetris might sound wild but Egerton attests that most of the film is real. He added,
“The biggest embellishment is probably the last scene of the movie where there is a kind of quite high-octane chase. But in terms of the machinations of these separate factions trying to win rights in a very volatile place at a time of particular political unrest, it’s all true. Even down to the fact that Henk [Rogers], Robert Stein, and Maxwell, the younger Evan Maxwell, all turned up a log on the same day, is true So, yeah, I mean, if you were to put a crude percentage on it, I think 85, 95% of it it’s true.”
Tetris was released last March 31, 2023 by Apple TV+
