JJ FEILD – Luke

Blood: The Last Vampire seems very different to your previous roles. Was this the kind of film you always wanted to appear in? How did you become
involved?

 

“My only ambition is to play different parts in different types of work every time. Amazingly they approached me and told me they always had me in mind. I haven't a clue what they saw of my work that made them think of me… Certainly can't have been Jane Austen.”

Luke doesn't appear to be a character from the original anime. Can you tell us what his role is in the story?

“Luke is an amalgamation of the different characters that make up the secret society that are hunting down the last of the vampires. He's a unpredictable and very dangerous character.”

Did you get to do any big action sequences? Were they fun?

"The scale of the film was extraordinary. Every day was a new surprise and great fun. The girls got the best bits but I had a wonderful time."

Were you suspended from wires at any point?

"Sadly no wires for me. I lack the sufficient powers to be able to fly."

What was the biggest challenge filming the movie?

"Five months of night shoots.”

Was acting against such major special FX a new experience for you?

“Every job’s new and this was no different but filming in China was very different."

You appeared in Ruby In The Smoke and The Shadow In The North. Did you think back then that Matt Smith was Doctor Who material? What tips would you give him about big special FX?

“I always knew Matt Smith was going to be a star. It was his first ever screen job and
he was more natural and inventive than people who've spent their lives on set. I'm a huge fan. The only advice to give about special FX is commit completely to your imagination and it's great fun."
