Greats on a plane…
Having already caught up with everyone’s favourite geriactioner and fellow Irishman Liam ‘I will find you and I will kill you’ Neeson and his gorgeous co-star Julianne ‘I probably won’t kill you’ Moore, JOE had the chance to sit down and chat with their lovely co-star Michelle Dockery (Downton Abbey), director Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, Unknown) and legendary Hollywood producer Joel Silver (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Predator).
The Beast of Ballymena stars as Bill Marks, a deadly but depressed Air Marshall who is tasked with policing a long-haul flight from New York to London when, as well as having to deal with all of the usual flight irritations like limited leg room and crying babies, he discovers that someone is trying to kill everybody on board – a problem that airline customer complaints departments aren’t really too eager to deal with.
Our sexagenarian star is forced to spring into action after receiving a series of threatening texts to his private Air Marshall phone, messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into a mysterious off-shore account.
Soon though, the evidence starts pointing towards the main man Marks – is he a hero? Or hijacker?
JOE climbed on board the Non-Stop press plane to chat about the mile-high movie itself, people’s particular sets of skills and, as ever, we asked the question on everybody’s lavatory-obsessed lips – just what the heck do Hollywood stars, directors and producers read when they’re sitting on the toilet?
Non-Stop is released in Irish cinemas on 28 February 2014.
