For\u00a0Luke Evans, his sci-fi monster movie \u201cWorldbreaker\u201d is, let\u2019s say, a break from his leading man-worthy heroic warriors.<\/p>\n
With a limp and bushy beard, it\u2019s a character performance intentionally chosen out of personal beliefs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe breakers are creatures that have lived under the Earth\u2019s crust for a very long time,\u201d\u00a0Evans, 46, began in a Zoom interview.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAs the Arctic Circle melted, cracks appeared and they escaped.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe this earth was their home before it was ours. They\u2019re very, very angry humongous creatures. I\u2019d say, 15 to 20 foot high. They\u2019re sort of a hybrid between a spider crab and human, with terrifying faces. They are very, very angry, and they want their world back.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey don\u2019t speak our language and are incredibly dangerous. In this war they are probably on the winning streak.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for why this was a must, \u201cThe concept. I love that it didn\u2019t take the formulaic track of a post-apocalyptic monster film. It\u2019s set up brilliantly at the beginning where you understand that women\u2019s genetic makeup means that if they\u2019re bitten or scratched by these breakers they don\u2019t \u2018turn\u2019 the way men do. Men become what we call a hybrid, this terrifying human-looking creature who is terrifying and dangerous. The breaker creatures can hear and the hybrids can see.\u201d<\/p>\n
Against the constant shadow of war, \u201cYou have the story of this father and his daughter Willa (Billie Boullet) who have escaped to an island. It becomes a character-driven story between two humans, a father and daughter isolated for years on this island. Across the water is the mainland where friends, family, my wife (Milla Jovovich) \u2014 my daughter\u2019s mother \u2014 are possibly being killed, never to be seen by them again.<\/p>\n
\u201cYet it\u2019s a story about finding hope where there is fear. In a world where fear is the only thing that exists. I liked the message of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Evans\u00a0began as a teenage singer before he acted. In March he makes his\u00a0Broadway\u00a0debut as that \u201ctransvestite from Transylvania,\u201d Dr. Frank-N-Furter in a revival of\u00a0\u201cThe Rocky Horror Show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Why a revival when it seems people tend to wallow in nostalgia and revere the original, \u201cIt\u2019s good, but he\u2019s not Tim Curry\u201d?<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the challenge is to find something new, something unique. I mean, there will never be another Tim Curry \u2014 and there never should be. He originated this role and, iconically, has become remembered for half a century.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful thing to be able to step into those high heels! But I am different, I sound different. I have a chance to do something different. And of course, with Tim always in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n
