I Origins review

Its often been said that eyes are the windows to the soul. Ian is a militant atheist. Fiercely skeptical and empirically-inclined, his character is more than a little inspired by Richard Dawkins. Ad content continues below It is an ambitious goal, yet not even the real thrust of the movie. Perhaps that is why the best scenes of the movie are when he plays off Berges-Frisbey.

Utopia series 2: director Marc Munden Q&A

Was there much debate about doing it that way? I think people were sceptical and then when Dennis started to write it people just got behind it. Once Dennis had written it, everyone just came on board and it just got better and better. Its a difficult one because it just comes out of the blue.
