Carsten Bjornlund Speaks To The Blog About The Third Season Of The Legacy
14:51:00
Good Afternoon Lovelies,
To celebrate the home entertainment release of the third
season of The Legacy on Monday, I spoke to one of the shows lead actors, Carsten
Bjornlund all about what we can expect from this series, what he is working on
next and why the show is such a hit.
Firstly congratulations on the
show’s third season! What was it about this season that made you excited to
create it?
Thank you very much. We're very proud of this third and
final season. One of the things that exited me about it was that it was
brave. Brave in its structure as well as its themes. And also for me personally
it was quite an exciting challenge to the feelings related to losing a child.
For those who may not know what
The Legacy is about, could you explain to them what it is about?
To me obviously it's a show about family in its direct
sense but also, I think, in a wider sense it considers society as a family and
comments on what we pass on from generation to generation.
What was it like developing this
character even further on the show?
It has been a great joy for me from the beginning to be
with Frederik and in season three even more as we were invited into the writers
den from an early stage. The fact that I was given so much trust really
thrilled me and gave me the lust to dive even further into the darkness of the
character.
The story is about family, what
is it about this genre do you think people find most interesting?
I think, most people can connect to the issues of this
family. Whether you're a sister, a mother or a son it's all very recognisable.
The feelings and mechanisms that run in families are something we all know
about and can relate to. Even if you have lost your family you will still know
exactly what you're missing and why.
Is there a scene that you are
most proud of or one that you would like audiences to look out for? Why this
one?
There's a scene between Gro, Emil and Frederik in which
Gro tries to talk Frederik into being a part of her performance. It takes place
in an old barn loft and was the last scene shot between the three siblings. I
can reveal, there was heavy crying when we were done.
Finally can you tell us anything
about what we can expect to see you in next or what you are working on?
I'm hitting cinemas in August with the first Danish
Sci-Fi in 20 years. It's called “QEDA” and the trailer is available online
already. I'm quite proud of being a part of director Max Kestners’ first feature
film and look forward to showing it to the public.
During summer I will be shooting a new mini-series for
DR, together with Sofie Gråbøl and Connie Nielsen and I hope you'll be able to
catch it in the UK.
Thank you so much
to Carsten Bjornlund for speaking to the blog! Don’t miss the DVDs release on
Monday lovelies.
Blog Soon,
Joey X
