2. SOUNDBITE (English) Justin Kurzel, director – on why he adapted Richard Flanagan’s book to the small screen:
"I was literally having a barbecue with him and he said ‘hey, look I’d really like you and Shaun (Grant, co-creator and scriptwriter) to consider adapting it, but as a series.’ And yeah I was really honored but I was also kind of apprehensive because it’s an extraordinary book and it’s really celebrated around the world, in Australia and I was in London when it won the Booker Prize so I sort of was out with him that night, sort of celebrating so I’ve kind of revered it. But as we started sort of talking about it and thinking about it as a sort of longer form, I think that the ideas in it of of memory and how these kind of three different timelines and three different points of view sort of start to merge and sort of overlap, it did sort of feel as though that longer sort of way of approaching it would, you know, would be really great."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Jacob Elordi, actor – on the love story:
"Quite honestly I was pretty frightened of it, between Justin and I, because I was worried that it would kind of overtake the elements of the novel that kind of interested me which was the war parts to begin with but it was kind of an active process understanding it I suppose. So I was hesitant about it but then it was just the way that Justin shoots and the way that he directed it, he allowed us this space for it to be incredibly raw and real and gentle and it ended up becoming my sort of favorite part of the filmmaking process because we shot it in halves. We shot sort of the past, well I guess if we call the love story the past and then the camps the present, we shot the love first and those scenes became the kind of fundamental part of the camps for me as Dorrigo, being able to have those memories while we were shooting the camps, of shooting with Dess (Odessa Young) and Olivia (DeJonge). Was like it was a core part of the performance which goes back to Richard’s book. The two just inform each other like it’s a whole life."

Kurzel: "I knew straight away, as soon as I thought about Jacob for the role, that I made the right choice. You know, I mean, this it was a really interesting process because Jacob had to – and all the boys had to – lose an enormous amount of weight for it. So it needed a special bit of dedication and incredible kind of focus. And the way they all went about that was truly inspiring. And it does sort of shape the feeling on set. You know, the crew looking at them coming on set, there’s a ‘wow, we’d better be on today because we can see kind of what these boys have done for it. So that was really, really powerful. But I don’t know, yeah."
Elordi: "Those boys brought it. And even not just the sort of direct performers in the script, we had a B-team, Bravo team of like of background that also went on the weight loss journey. So the environment that was created with the six week break was, it was so serious and the effort that everybody put into doing it was like a cumulative – cumulative? Cumulative effort.
