Simon Baker Interview: Limbo and Making an Outback Noir
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- Filmmaker Ivan Sen returns to the Toronto International Film Festival with this year’s Limbo, starring Simon Baker, Natasha Wanganeen, and Rob Collins. Baker, who serves as executive producer and star of the film, also returns to the festival where he premiered his 2017 directorial debut Breath and sits down with Collider’s Steve Weintraub in our studio at the Cinema Center by MARBL to discuss working with Sen on this indie “Outback noir” in only 16 days.
Limbo is Sen’s latest passion project, from penning the script to sitting in the director’s chair, the auteur also served as cinematographer and editor for this simmering crime drama, set against the stark backdrop of the Australian Outback. In the film, Baker plays Detective Travis Hurley, a man haunted by inner turmoil and addiction, who finds himself in Limbo, a small mining town where years ago a young Indigenous girl was murdered. The case is long cold, but Hurley has reason to believe Charlotte’s killer may still be active. His reopening of the case, however, is viewed as hopeless by Charlotte’s sister Emma (Wanganeen) and brother Charlie (Collins), who’ve already experienced the apathy of the law enforcement and townspeople.
In their one-on-one, Baker talks about his transformation into Detective Hurley, what about Sen’s film drew him to the project, and how this collaboration was a long time in the making. Baker also discusses the typecasting in Hollywood, why working on an intimate set in the Outback was refreshing for The Mentalist star, and which novel his next directorial pursuit will be based on.

I will always see him as the man who stopped Red John.
In my opinion, Mr. Simon Baker has made a significant step forward. The way I see it, he wants to bring Australia closer to the people. The Australian filmmakers, actors, directors, artists and fashion are just as good as Hollywood ones - you could say even better. I personally find this step that he took for his country to be exemplary. I wish him all the best.😊
Great Interview. Simon is such a great Director Actor and Communicator COLLIDER Interviews great to watch to the point.
I bought “Limbo” on apple plus. Just started it. So far the location and landscape speaks volumes. Thank you
I finished the story. Charlotte’s painting and the landscape became one. This characters drew me in. I didn’t want it to end. It had a very calming thread to it. Again thank you for taking me on this journey.
I love mr Baker since The Guardian. Patrick Jane will always be my favourite role of his, but I'll always be glad to see his new movies!
I had the pleasure of seeing Simon and Sen at a special screening here in Perth Western Australia for LIMBO and it was great, great film, glad to see it released globally !
What a brilliant interview. Steve Weintraub is well clued in and gets some lovely nuggets of information from Simon and Simon's lovely personality really shines through.
Hi, how are you doing sweetie, thanks for being a great fan of mine… i noticed your likes and comment on my official page so I’m using this medium to say a very big thank you to you once again for supporting my career, well i believe God has a purpose for this connection… I’ll stop here and will be looking forward to hear from you… kisses and hug❤️🔥
I loved Limbo. Baker is unrecognizable and wonderful as the jaded detective. Cinematography is great and black and white treatment of the harsh barren landscape is perfect.
Simon Baker's way of working is very interesting and I've always been curious about how he approaches working on a character. Thanks for this interview, I would love to learn more about his working style. He is a great artist.
Greetings from here in Israel!

May your happiness never know any bounds. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Cuando se puede ver en AmericaLatina🇦🇷🍾🌹
So it's another Winton novel film directed by Simon
Simon Baker is as articulate as always in his interviews. However,the noise of a man talking in the background (around the middle of the interview) is quite rude and unprofessional. The interview should have been stopped and that man ordered to shut up or kicked out. Simon Baker started feeling agitated by it. Unacceptable behaviour.
May your happiness never know any bounds. I hope you and your family are doing well.

"i dont know how well known you are in Australia" ??
What the actual F is this interviewer on
Australia knows who simon is ffs of course!!
I still see him asa family man. With his 3 children and the beautiful wife Rebecca Riggs. Can’t believe that they lost there “amour” of almost 30 y. I love my husband more after 38 y. We worked the gadgets and difficult times. They did but now that he has money and fame I see him like having a mid crisis. Dating women 20 y younger and acting like a high school teen. I can’t get over that. It hurts for her seeing him on pictures like touching this younger woman butt. Similar to the other Australian of lethal weapon . Any way I liked his acting in the mentalist and glad he kill Red John.
you do not know him personally lmao
Let's not interfere in other people's private lives. Everything happens for a reason and you have no right to judge other people's lives.
How did his hair grow back so fast?
The movie was shot in July 2022.
