Comic-Con interviews

Jason plays Peter, an FBI agent who investigates the murder of an archaeologist in Jerusalem. While doing this, he uncovers a 2000 year old conspiracy. The event series was filmed on location in Jerusalem, before the production had to move to Croatia and New Mexico.

Haven't found one with JI yet (on Skype?), and I actually haven't seen these, because my internet connection is very slow. But here are what I found on YouTube:

Thanks for the links, thunder. There are 2 interviews for each but they were about the same.

Gideon Raff said he started to write DIG with Jason in mind from the beginning. He needed Peter to be a more mature, hero-type FBI guy who has a dark side with vulnerability to him. They ( Raff and Tim Kring) were still writing the script when they ran into Jason at a party. They told him that they were working on a project with him in mind and Jason didn't take it seriously. 'And here we are with Jason Isaacs!'

Thank you Mr. Raff. We think you are right. Jason fits the part perfectly :mrgreen:

This is actually turning into his trademark. But he still does villains well, too. :D

...I bet they still only will ask him about playing villains in interviews, though...

“I used different lenses for each location–Norway, Jerusalem, and the American desert–and we spent a lot of time discussing the color of each world.” said Clarkson. “So that in the end, each location feels different, both in color but also in the shape and feel of the shots.”
Norway?! :woot They probably will use some other place for stand in, though. Norway is too expensive. Hollywood's attempts at using Norwegian language so far has been quite laughable. So I wonder if they dare. :mrgreen: (In 13th Warrior, the only actor I understood was the Norwegian one, because he refused to listen to the language coach - who came from Latvia and didn't speak a word of Norwegian, BTW)
