One particular email exchange that came to light was between director David Fincher and former Sony bigwig Amy Pascal, which detailed their reactions to Adam Driver being cast as Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
As it turns out, the subject still comes up, 3 years later and David Fincher can’t stop apologizing.
The gamble certainly paid off for J.J. Abrams and Adam Driver as it would be hard to imagine anyone else playing Kylo Ren with the understated intensity that Driver brings to the villain.
But if Adam Driver takes umbrage with it, I can’t apologize enough.”
