'Queen & Slim,' 'Two Popes,' 'The Lighthouse': The two-hander is strong in the awards conversation this season, showcasing actors' intimate character work.
When it comes to legends, it’s hard to think of two actors more deserving of the title than Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce — both have been knighted for their contributions to the arts, both have long and storied resumes on stage, film and television. So when Fernando Meirelles began to consider who might be up to the task of portraying modern-day icons of the Catholic Church in his dramatic two-hander “The Two Popes,” the “City of God” director knew exactly where to turn.
Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce star as Pope Benedict and the soon-to-be Pope Francis in “The Two Popes.” The academy has long had a soft spot for the two-hander — 1957’s John Huston film “Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison” stranded Deborah Kerr’s nun and Robert Mitchum’s Marine on a South Pacific island during World War II and earned two Oscar nominations .
When Waithe sat down to write the script, she had two prototypes for her protagonists. “I wanted to have her be Malcolm X, and I wanted him to be Martin Luther King, and by the end of the film they would have swapped places,” Waithe said. “Those were my road maps. He is a person who wants to have a simple life, wants to do the right thing, wants to have a family. She’s a person who wants to leave her mark and change things for the better. She’s not turning the other cheek.
