Guy Pearce on Memory, Liam Neeson, The Count of Monte Cristo, and Memento

With director Martin Campbell’s Memory now playing in theaters, I recently conducted a wide-ranging interview with Guy Pearce, who plays an honest cop. In the film, Liam Neeson plays an expert assassin that’s dealing with getting older and suffering from a memory that is beginning to falter. When a job goes wrong because he refuses to kill a child, Neeson must figure out who hired him while staying ahead of the FBI and his failing memory. Memory also stars Monica Bellucci, Taj Atwal, Ray Fearon, and Harold Torres. The film is produced by Cathay Schulman, Moshe Diamant, Rupert Maconick, Michael Heimler, and Arthur Sarkissian.
During the interview, Pearce talked abut why he loved working with Neeson, making the film, his process on set, how he prepares for a role, what someone should watch if you’ve never seen his work, Memento, The Proposition, which of his roles required the most preparation, and what he remembers about making The Count of Monte Cristo. In addition, he talked about some of his future projects like A Spy Among Friends with Damian Lewis, director Andrew Hunt’s This Infernal Machine.
