Jude Lawis discussing going nude for his new movie withRon Howard.

“Well, I didn’t know about that,” Law said, after a moderator during a post-screening conversation suggested his role “probably required a little bit more audacity” than his costars. “I think we all had to be audacious.”

“I walk around naked,” the actor jested in response to another question about “some of the things” his character does in the movie.

“And it’s a lovely fluid, and it’s a game of chance, in a way, and trust for actors in that situation because we’re all carrying our own element, our own thread,” he added. “I think everyone had just so much to explore. For me, the personal challenge was trying to find some kind of movement in [his character’s] rigidity.”

“You’d be shocked at how accurate the movie actually is,” he told the outlet. “What was chilling about this story is that a handful of people went there and half of them either died or vanished — and that’s intense. That’s like a season ofSurvivorwhere people really don’t make it.”
