'Twelve Minutes' adopts an idiosyncratic top-down view to tell its dramatic tale. “I just got to come in and do my bit–sit there and explore, play with Daisy, play with Willem, and just play as an actor, and not have to be confined by the decisions of an animator.” “I think if I was having to act along to a brilliantly realized CG face and match what an animator had done, it’d be more difficult because then I don’t have freedom of expression, control, and creativity. “I mean, whenever I’m acting, I can’t see my face, and I can’t see my hands and I don’t really see what I’m doing,” he explains. While Twelve Minutes’ top-down view limits visual emotion from characters, McAvoy says this actually helped his performance. To get to go a few rounds with him was a bit of an honor.” Whenever he speaks, whatever accent he’s doing, you know you’re listening to Willem Dafoe. He’s so experienced his voice is so iconic. “I mean, he’s been doing work at the highest level for longer than I’ve been alive. Meanwhile, Willem Dafoe recorded his lines in Rome, but McAvoy and Ridley remained in touch with him online, discussing Twelve Minutes’ various challenges, story arcs, and directions–and despite being 1,000 miles apart, the veteran actor proved to be an inspiration to him. Getting to work with anybody during the pandemic was amazing, but getting to act with somebody of her caliber was fantastic.”
“She’s an amazing actor of such strength, and has such a great presence. “Working with Daisy was a bit of a treat really,” McAvoy continues. 'Star Wars' actor Daisy Ridley plays opposite James McAvoy in 'Twelve Minutes'.
