George MacKay On Exploring His Inner 'Wolf'

Описание: 1917 star George MacKay currently stars in Nathalie Biancheri’s (Nocturnal) futuristic second feature, Wolf. MacKay plays Jacob, a young man who doesn’t believe he is human—he is certain he is a wolf. And his family, not knowing what to do with this, sends him to a clinic where others who suffer from species identity disorder or species dysphoria (a real thing) are cured.

MacKay, continuing to prove he is one of the most eclectic actors of his generation as well as one of the most fully committed, fully immerses himself into the role. Jacob, a young man who, to his mind and body, is a wolf. The actor allows us access into the mind and body of the enigmatic Jacob—just enough so we can feel his conflict, not that he’s overly conflicted about who/what he is. The real discord, for him, has to do with wanting to please his parents who just want him to be normal—and to try and adapt to the human world. Complicating his situation, Jacob finds himself attracted to Wildcat (Lily-Rose Depp).

The themes the film explores have to do with identity but also with conformity—two issues that seem at odds with one another today, so the film is uber timely.

Wolf opens in theaters on December 3.
