James Norton ​​​​​​​Interview: Nowhere Special and King & Conqueror

Nowhere Special is undoubtedly one of the saddest movies that American audiences will watch this year now that it's finally made the jump across the pond after releasing in the United Kingdom back in 2021. The tight, 96-minute film from writer-director Uberto Pasolini follows John (James Norton), a single father facing the grim realities of his terminal illness, which includes finding a suitable adoptive home for his 4-year-old son, Michael (Daniel Lamont). Ahead of the film's April 26 release date in the United States, I had the chance to sit down with James Norton for a lengthy conversation about his work on the film.
During our discussion, Norton spoke about what it was like having a 4-year-old scene partner who was learning about death in real time, the casting process for finding the perfect Michael, and what it has been like getting to promote the film for the past four years. In addition to discussing Nowhere Special, Norton also opened up about his upcoming series King & Conqueror and discussed if he would be interested in returning to the world of video games, after voicing a role in Dragon Age: Inquisition over a decade ago.

Saw it this afternoon. I look at that last scene where their hand in hand at the door of the new parent. It seemed he was about to let his son's hand go for the last time. I got the feeling he was slowly letting go. Can I also asked you: did you have any clue as to who he might was going to choose? I think we were all forming our opinions and I personally felt she was going to be the one in the end. No red flags a rose for me with her like there was some small ones with each of the others. Anyway

@@dwmc1492 When I watched her sitting on the floor playfully interacting with the child, I suspected she might be the one. I can't imagine being in a parent having to make this difficult situation as to where to place the child. I was very moved by his choice and feel that out of the people he met, she was the one who seemed to have enough love in heart for Michael.
