Hey, southendmd!
Thanks for this bump! This was really interesting to see. And you're right, this is exactly what i meant on the other thread of BBM remake. There are different ways to act the lines / story out and each of them can shed a different light on the characters, the message or the story's outcome. What do the actors do while saying the lines: do they have a distance between them (as in Ang Lee's BBM) or do they have any every slight body contact; what emphasis do they put on which parts of the dialogue; what feelings do they convey. Jake G's Jack is rather angry, but how would it look like if the emphasis is put on despair instead?
I would invite any pro-actors to challenge themselves on this story. I think the breaking point would be just commitment to story and characters.
