Josh Hartnett Discusses The Ottoman Lieutenant
The actor discusses his brilliant new role in action-packed drama, The Ottoman Lieutenant.

3 August 2017

Joseph Ruben is the man in the director’s chair for brilliant new action-packed drama, The Ottoman Lieutenant. Starring Ben Kingsley, Josh Hartnett, Michiel Huisman and Hera Hilmar, the film is a star-studded affair that tells the wartime story of a strong-willed woman named Lillie (Hilmar), who leaves America after meeting American doctor Jude (Hartnett) who runs a remote medical mission within the Ottoman Empire.

Today, Female First can bring you an exclusive Q&A with Hartnett all about his role in the film. Check it out below:

What attracted you to the role?

Honestly, this movie came to me in the regular fashion. My agent sent me the script, said the director Joe Ruben would like to talk to you, and then the movie all came together very quickly. He asked if we could have a Skype meeting, then we had subsequent meetings about the character and that’s what drew me to the character. The fact that Joe and I could collaborate and expand on the character. That’s always exciting to me because then you can bend yourself into the character, the character starts becoming a part of you and then you become the character. Joe was also a big reason because he was so open and warm, also very specific about what he liked but was able to allow me to bring my own spin into it.

What was it about the character that resonated with you?

I like Jude because he was not your typical character, as far as most of the characters that are sent to me. Jude doesn’t get the girl. Jude is known for and prides himself from being a moral person. He’s not a bad boy, he’s not a heart throb, and he’s a man on the edge of his known existence. Doing what he feels is morally correct and living in a world that is chaotic at best. I loved that he was so driven by his ideas, that he was a person that respected concepts, that enjoys the simplicity that’s so far removed from what he understands. I think that Jude is not necessarily running away from the U.S., but once he left the U.S. that simple way of life is what suits him. Because he was allowed to be much more human out there, in the civilisation that he knew. I just admire a guy like this.

Can you tell us about Jude’s relationship with Lillie and Ismail?

Michiel Huisman’s character Ismail doesn’t have any real ambitions at the beginning but he is charming enough, and they (Ismail and Lillie) find themselves on an adventure as they travel towards Van (Turkey). And during that time, circumstances being what they were, they fall in love. Love is about timing. In my opinion, love is about the circumstances that surround it, and unfortunately for Jude he never gets a chance. By the time she’s arrived in Van, it doesn’t matter how great he is, she’s already smitten with another guy. And it doesn’t matter how wrong he is, she’s still smitten with him. So the story really revolves around Lillie dealing with that incongruity in her own concept of love, and finding out for herself and what it really is. And unfortunately for Jude, that brings him from a place of peace, tranquillity and a sense of assurity about what he does with his life and what he means to the people around him. The opposite to Ismail who comes from a place of chaos, a place of anger and potential place of homicidal rage. So it’s not a good story for Jude.

Can you share how you developed your character (Jude)?

I thought a man who was well-educated coming from New England and educated in the late 1800s would have spoken with a Mid-Atlantic accent. I also think the development of Jude had to do with the way he expresses himself. And this contributes to the voice and structure of the character. I think that Jude thinks before he speaks because he is an introvert, ultimately. He sort of plans everything he says, and his sentences are very thought out. Rarely, does Jude find himself mid-sentence, not knowing where the sentence is going to end. From my perspective that’s completely unusual because I’m someone who likes to ramble. I wanted to portray every aspect of Jude as soft. And this was done by softening up his physical appearance, especially through his clothing and hairstyle. Jude is a guy who doesn’t really care about his appearance on a day-to-day basis. He’s a surgeon and he’s meant to comfort and give peace to those who can’t be comforted. Jude needed to be portrayed as compassionate and intelligent, and the way he speaks and dresses really contributes to that.

The Ottoman Lieutenant is available now on digital download and comes to Blu-ray and DVD from August 7.

Exclusive Interview: Ben Kingsley For ‘The Ottoman Lieutenant’

On digital download now, and coming to DVD and Blu-ray from 7th August, is the powerful and gripping action-packed drama, The Ottoman Lieutenant. The film features an all-star cast including Academy Award® winner Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler’s List), Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down, Penny Dreadful), Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones, The Age of Adaline) and Hera Hilmar (Anna Karenina, Davinci’s Demons).

The Ottoman Lieutenant tells the wartime story of a strong-willed woman Lillie (Hera Hilmar) who leaves the United States after meeting Jude (Josh Hartnett) an American doctor who runs a remote medical mission within the exotic Ottoman Empire. There, she finds her loyalty tested to both Jude and the mission’s sagacious founder (Ben Kingsley) when she falls in love with Ismail (Michiel Huisman), a Lieutenant in the Ottoman Imperial Army. Set among the backdrop of World War 1 and tied together with epic battles and mind-blowing fight sequences, Lillie must decide if she wants to be what other people want her to be, or to be herself.

We caught up with Sir Ben Kingsley to talk about the film.
Q: Can you describe the dynamic between your character (Woodruff) and Khalil Bey?

I saw Haluk Bilinger (Khalil Bey) in a film recently, and I loved his performance. It’s an example of our director (Joseph Rueben) really choosing a strong team. It brings me back to the narrative function of each actor on the set. And his narrative function is to bring an utterly unquestionable authority to his role. There was occasion for us as takers of the Hippocratic Oath, to say that his authority doesn’t hold sway in this context. In the story, it’s really two authorities meeting each other.

Q: What is your character’s role in the film? 

The essential key to performance is to appreciate why you are in the story. The rest, oddly enough, will come second. My role in this film is very simple. By simple, I mean it’s a small target, meaning it’s hard to hit. In the process of filmmaking and meeting, and working with our leading lady, Hera Hilmar (Lillie), I had to understand how to enhance her character’s journey. It’s no good by trying to get the audience to like her by sentimentalizing your role. What you have to do in her journey is to give her hurtle after hurtle to overcome. Then you have the growth of a character that’s worth watching, so that was my gift to her as a colleague, and in my performance to bring to her an unchallengeable despair and grief. The more I can focus on my character’s losses, addictions, and anaesthesia of the soul, the more the audience can see Hara will never get past Woodruff and prove to him that she’s a hero. So that’s why my character exists. My character is immovable and very set in his ways. Overcome by alcoholism and drug addiction, he is dedicated not to remember how beautiful life was. However, Lillie reminds of that by saving his life.
Q: Describe your experience on set working with the cast?

I work a lot with first time actors. And it’s really good to be in the company of those who are certain not taking their first steps, but taking steps along a journey of which they are approaching with great intelligence and dedication. It’s a great pleasure to be in the company of Hara (Lillie), who is very focused and concentrated and a good colleague. I just learn my lines. You never know how the scene is going to go until you meet with your fellow actor. And then the chemistry emerges. And you think, what can I bring to this performance to make them look good and serve their journey. So, that’s how I work.

Q: What was it like working with Joseph Rueben (director)?

I had never worked with Rueben before. He has a good energy and his ego is in the right place, in that he’s not as interested in power as much as he is interested his in filmmaking. Joe trusts his actors. I think a good film set democratizes those who are inhabited, so that we collaborate well, and I think creatively, under the directorship of Joe. A good director will give the impression, whether he/she’s aware of it or not, that he/she knows the name of every person on crew; that there is a vested interest in every member of the crew, and a common interest in making the film run. And Joe does just that.

The Ottoman Lieutenant is available now on Digital Download and DVD and Blu-ray from 7 August.
