Mortal Engines: Robert Sheehan and Leila George Interview

Mortal Engines: Robert Sheehan and Leila George Interview
Not only is Mortal Engines ushering gigantic, rolling cities onto the big screen this weekend, but the movie also rocks an ensemble cast that includes a number of up and comers you might want to keep an eye on - that is, if you aren't already doing so. Robert Sheehan, for example, has been adding titles to his resume for years now. He was in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, Geostorm, he's got the new Netflix series The Umbrella Academy coming up, and now he's leading Mortal Engines as Tom Natsworthy, a dedicated citizen of the behemoth traction city of London who begins to question his allegiance when he realizes a high ranking London official has nefarious goals.
Also duped by this leader is Leila George's character Katherine Valentine. And even worse for her, this individual is also her father, Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving). Mortal Engines actually marks George's feature debut, but she's also got a few promising upcoming projects like The Long Home directed by James Franco and The Kid starring Chris Pratt.
In an effort to help you get to know both Sheehan and George a little better, and to hear about their experience making Mortal Engines, we opted to play a round of our movie version of the game, "Would You Rather." Sheehan and George were a delight weighing options like running or eating in a scene, getting too many notes from a director or not enough, fake vomiting or fake sneezing in a scene, and so much more. You can watch it all in this video interview.
Mortal Engines hits theaters nationwide on December 14th.

[@cocoabutter1330]

[@TheDashnhash]

he's gorgeous! so is she :)

[@Ali_Ahmed_Yousuf]

Masterpiece movie!!! Love the CGI ❤️

[@bernhardtsen74]

never read the books but it looks fun!heard from the schmoes that this movie started on a high note and all downhill after that!

[@gewrgia-0]

Every time he moves, his pants make all these sounds and I had to take a sec because it sounds so much like a fart. The first time his pants made the sound I had to rewind because I was like "WAS THAT A FART? 😂". Now that I think about it, someone could totally get away with farting with those pants on, because I got so used to the sound after a point that I wouldn't even pay attention or notice it at all, I was like, "oh he is moving again", sneaking a fart after moving a bunch would be a piece of cake.

or maybe it was the chair.
