Stillwater director/co-writer Tom McCarthy and Matt Damon joined Deadline’s Contenders New York event today to discuss the film and what they were looking for in the Bill Baker character. …
follows Bill Baker , an oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma who travels to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter , who’s in prison for a murder she claims she did not commit. Confronted with language barriers, cultural differences and a complicated legal system, Bill builds a new life for himself in France as he makes it his personal mission to exonerate his daughter.
“You see the rage kind of build up in the character, and then it just explodes, it erupts,” Damon said. “It was something that Tom said to me to just ‘physicalize it’ … because you’ve heard that this guy has got a past, but it’s a way to physicalize something to make the audience go, ‘Oh, I see, there’s something under here.’ Under the still water, there’s a lot.”
