When Christopher Abbott was tapped for Christopher Andrews’ first film “Bring Them Down,” set in remote Ireland, he asked the writer-director, “Do you want to just get someone Irish to do it?”
The “It Comes at Night” actor stars alongside Irish actor Barry Keoghan in the thriller film and admitted he was intimidated by the gruesome project at first. But, the “Poor Things” actor has not shied away from a challenge before and certainly didn’t this time, he told TheWrap’s Joe McGovern at the Toronto International Film Festival.
“Otherwise, you know, we all have ADD, and we get bored if we don’t feel like we’re being sort of pushed in any sort of way,” Abbott joked at TheWrap’s 2024 TIFF Studio sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Boss Design.
