Rob Peace Interview: Author Jeff Hobbs Talks True Story Behind Movie

Jeff Hobbs, who wrote the book The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, which inspired the film Rob Peace, spoke to ComingSoon.

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to author Jeff Hobbs, who wrote the book The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, which inspired the film Rob Peace by Academy Award nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor. Hobbs discussed visiting the set and seeing the true story come to screen. The film is now playing exclusively in theaters.) torn between his father’s shadowed past and his own promising future.

I spoke with Jay Will, who portrays Rob Peace in the film, and he told me this wonderful story about how he got the blessing of Rob’s mother to play her son. What stood out about seeing his performance? I felt he did such a wonderful job of really putting heart into it and doing the story justice. I think what was really powerful for me watching him on screen was the way he inhabited the complexity and some of the burdens that Rob carried, but he really understood and got the joy of Rob and the exuberance and the way that Rob brought people together from all different spaces. I don’t know how he did that, but he did it.

I’m so glad for everything you just said. I think you encapsulated a lot of the point of this story with everything you just said, and it’s the message I try to bring when I have the privilege of visiting maybe a college campus or a high school classroom just to talk about to young people about writing and Rob Peace in particular. It is this impulse we have to put people and put stories in boxes, right? Exactly as you said, Rob, throughout his whole life, he was said to be two people.
