Paradise Island, a new drama from director Greta Gerwig, looks to be Hourglass Pictures' major Oscar Contender for Y5. The film follows an ensemble of individuals living on a tiny island on the coast of Maryland, as climate change and rising sea levels throw its existence into uncertainty. Inspired by the films of Robert Altman and Sean Baker, the film promises a humanistic, touching, funny, heartbreaking, and honest exploration of uncertainty in the future.

 

Tessa Thompson is also confirmed for the lead role.

ABOVE THE LINE

 

A Numerator Pictures Prospectus

 

Volume 1

 

Spoiler

 

Coming out in March of Year 4 was the long-gestating Pillars of Eternity: The Hollow Vale, the opening film in what Numerator Pictures hopes to be one of its flagship fantasy franchises. Inspired by the video game series developed by Obsidian Entertainment, Pillars of Eternity is intended to be a more mature and thoughtful take on a fantasy epic that slowly unfolds the story and lore of the world film by film and connects it to real world themes.

 

“The first film very much sets the stage for not only the conflict between science and religion, but also how both, when acted on with blind, merciless faith, can yield atrocities” Director Miguel Sapochnik said to us. “You see Lord Raedric utterly convinced that if he basically sells himself body and soul to Berath and massacres countless people he believes to be heretics, dissidents, etc, that Berath will grant his land salvation in return. You also on the other side have Osyra literally creating monsters in her attempt to find a cure for the Hollowborn Crisis in the belief that the ends of science justify the horrific means.” And Miguel tells us that this conflict is only going to get more attention in the second film, which takes us away from the rustic rural town of Gilded Vale to the sprawling port city of Defiance Bay, the center of power in the Dyrwood.

It is in this city where we spend the majority of the time in the November Year 5 sequel, entitled

 

PILLARS OF ETERNITY: NEVER FAR FROM THE QUEEN

 

Never Far From the Queen is a phrase we heard in the first movie, a clue as to how the fledgling Watcher Sarana can track down the mysterious cult The Leaden Key, an organization devoted to the service of the Goddess Woedica, the one-time Queen of the Gods, whose strange ceremony in front of an Engwithan ruin massacred the survivors of Sarana’s caravan except for her, and activated within her the potential to be a Watcher. Specifically, the phrase refers to the fact that there is an old ruined temple of the Goddess in Defiance Bay, with the insinuation that the Leaden Key operates out of the city.

“For much of the first film Sarana is reactive, trying to figure out what is happening to her while being caught up in events” Ana de Armas tells us. “Now though, in this film, she becomes a lot more proactive as she is driven to hunt down The Leaden Key and their connection to not just her, but the larger goings on in the world.” That hunt is focused on two individuals. The first being Urgeat, the adviser and henchman of Lord Raedric who turned out to be an agent of the Leaden Key manipulating events in Gilded Vale for the purpose of stoking a revolt, as well as being the man responsible for the murder of Maerwald, the old, bewitched Watcher who was a source of some answers for Sarana.

 

“Urgeat is a piece of work. He is nasty, confident, cruel” Boyd Holbrook notes. “He can play the charming man with rhetorical flourish if need be, or can segue into ruthless, vicious brutality as required. He wears a lot of faces in this film as he engages in the Leaden Key’s plans to affect the Defiance Bay political scene.”

 

And what exactly are those plans? Well the one to know would be the second Leaden Key individual Sarana is drawn to track down, the Grandmaster himself. Seen only briefly a few times in the first film, and only at the very end without his ornamental helmet and mask, the Grandmaster, based on the visions Sarana has had, appears to be a figure from a past life of hers, which of course begs the question of how that can be the case.

 

“Well I certainly am not telling!” Paul Bettany says with a laugh. Bettany tells us that the Grandmaster will get to be out and about a little bit in the film, which will also start to peel back the layers to his character. “He’s fanatically driven and completely convinced that his cause is righteous, and that everyone except him are mere ants. If you’re not a Leaden Key operative and he gives you his attention, it usually means you are not long for the world.”

 

As resident deity Wael pointed out to Sarana near the close of the first film, the search for answers usually brings with it more questions, and Sapochnik notes that there are a handful of big questions that drive forward the plot of this film:

 

1) What is the connection between Sarana and the Grandmaster? And what are her visions trying to tell her?

2) What are the Leaden Key’s plans for the Dyrwood? For the world as a whole?

3) What is the cause of the Hollowborn Plague?

4) Why does Wael believe that the above represents a threat to the established order of the Gods?

 

Sapochnik tells us that at least one of the above questions will be definitively answered in the second film, whereas the others will have layers pulled back and a complete answer held for the final film in this opening trilogy.

 

“The Leaden Key in many ways derives its power from the fact that a lot of knowledge of the old days has been lost or hidden, and they are one of the few, if only organizations with access to a lot of it” writer Beau Willimon says. “As you briefly saw in the first film, part of their shenanigans in Gilded Vale was a long con to discredit animancy by revealing the work of Osyra as soon as the tide turned against Raedric. That anti-animancy campaign continues in this film, as animancy as a science of the souls can, if actually used competently by skilled, smart, careful researchers, can unlock secrets that the world of Eora at this point can only dream of.”

 

Sapochnik and Willimon also tell us that the Leaden Key has some new allies in this film. The first is the Doemenel family, whose patriarch, Gedmar, was briefly namedropped in the first film as the man who connected Lord Raedric with Urgeat. Gedmar Doemenel will be played by character actor Bill Camp, who describes the family as “Medieval Mafia.”

 

“He sees everything as transactional. He has no ideology, no principles. It all comes down to whether or not there is a long-term advantage for his family, so he does not know or particularly care what the Leaden Key is up to so long as it benefits him and his.” Joining Bill Camp in House Doemenel is Elizabeth Marvel as Bricanta, Gedmar’s wife who is much more skeptical of the partnership with the Leaden Key but is of the mind that “they made their bed, they have to lie in it.” Also part of the family is Dominic Cooper, who plays Gedmar’s eldest son Abrecan. Cooper tells us that while Gedmar is more strategic and plays the long game, Abrecan is more hands-on and a little bit of a loose cannon. “He is not above getting his hands dirty himself.”

The other ally of the Leaden Key in Defiance Bay is the “citizens militia” known as The Dozens. Taking their name from the 12 warriors who fought the incarnation of Eothas to buy time for the Godhammer Bomb to explode, the Dozens are a force that Willimon says the film uses to reflect the “America First” and “alt-right” growth of militant citizen groups. “They believe the Dyrwood is broken. Too many foreigners, too many scientists poking their noses in areas belonging to the Gods, too many of the less desirable races, too many elites. They are a pot ready to boil over and The Leaden Key sees that as a valuable tool.”

 

One of the primary leaders of the Dozens is Wenan, played with aggressive and driven abandon by Jeffrey Donovan. “Wenan is a true believer in his cause, and thinks that the Dyrwood needs to be saved, and that if a bloody purge is needed, he’ll be the first to raise his sword” Donovan says. It is this driven ideology that the Leaden Key finds useful, as it allows them to present a sympathetic face to the weary populace as well as lots of cheap and easy muscle. Sapochnik tells us that the Leaden Key is about secrecy, and if they can use the Dozens militiamen as disposable pawns, all the better.

 

With the Leaden Key drawing on a lot of resources to enact their plans for the Dyrwood, Sarana and her companions are going to find it tough to face off with them. Luckily, they are getting some backup.

 

“We’re definitely excited to be bringing in new friends and allies for Sarana and the others, since they have a tough road ahead of them” Sapochnik says. “Each of them brings something different to the table.”

 

The first new ally Sarana encounters, while on the road to Defiance Bay, is Sagani, a dwarf hunter from the distant island of Nasitaaq. “Sagani is the character we have had the hardest time to integrate into the films” Willimon says. “In the game, they can drop in with their own sidequest reason to be around, but here in the movie you have to work a little bit harder to justify some characters’ inclusion.” The island of Nasitaaq is in the far southern reaches of the Deadfire Archipelago, a massive behemoth of thousands of islands spanning hundreds and hundreds of miles that Sarana herself originally called home, and the island is not far from the treacherous, unforgiving, downright bone-chillingly cold polar continent referred to as The White That Wends. Willimon states that the production team in designing Sagani went beyond the game character itself to take inspiration from the Ainu people of northern Japan and the Pacific coastline of Siberia.

Sagani herself is played by Rinko Kikuchi, who describes the huntress as a dogged, determined tracker with a sharp, perceptive eye and a calm, patient demeanor. “She’s had to fend for herself in inhospitable terrain alone on long hunts, and she is now on the longest hunt of her life” Kikuchi says. “Underneath the hardened exterior though is really a sentimental, caring person who misses her husband and kids terribly, and winds up having to babysit and play Team Mom to the friction brewing on Team Sarana.”

 

Rinko Kikuchi is Sagani

 

Accompanying Sagani is Itumaak, her arctic fox companion who Eder takes an immediate shine towards. Since foxes are not domesticated, the production team used a dog as a stand-in.

 

The next ally Sarana finds herself encountering is the imposing and martial Pallegina mes Rèi, a knight in the Frermàs mes Canc Suolias (Brotherhood of the Five Suns), the elite military unit of the mercantile Vailian Republics. The Vailian Republics are heavily inspired by the famous Italian city-states of the Renaissance era such as Genoa, Venice, and Florence, and revolve around the twin pillars of trade and animancy. Pallegina is attached to the Vailian embassy in Defiance Bay and, tasked by her superiors to investigate the growing instability in the city, finds herself encountering and teaming up with Sarana, whose own investigation seems to be leading down a similar path.

 

Zazie Beetz, who plays Pallegina, describes the warrior as a woman with a personality full of fire and conviction, and a lot of stubbornness. “She has little time for people screwing around with her, and if you get on her bad side she really lets you have it. It also makes her slow to admit she is wrong, though if you’re on the up and up with her, she will have your back.”

 

Zazie Beetz is Pallegina

 

The thing that makes Pallegina more unique is that she is a Godlike, the first we encounter in the series. As noted in promo material for the first film, Godlikes are members of the various races of Eora that have been mutated in various ways that reflect a connection with the a particular God or Goddess. For example, a Fire Godlike is associated with the Goddess Magran, and generally has features such as orange-ish skin, glowing eyes, horns, and hair that is warm to the touch and actually has the appearance and consistency of flames. Pallegina is an avian godlike, associated with the Goddess Hylea, which causes her to have feathers for hair, nictating membranes on her eyes, etc. Beetz says that Pallegina remains uncomfortable with her position as a Godlike, though in some ways it has allowed her to escape traditional gender stereotypes, since many places view Godlikes as being essentially outside gender.

Keeping the Female Power train rolling is the slightly absent-minded elf animancer with a morbid sense of curiosity, Ydwin. The production team was nervous about the inclusion of Ydwin since she is not a character from the first game, but rather the second game, but they felt they had a good way to integrate her into the story of this movie (and hint that she’ll be in this movie alone, and not the trilogy’s conclusion). “We felt that we needed to give animancers a voice for the film, since a lot of what you get in the first game is outside perspective” Willimon says. “It also allows us to help deliver some key and crucial information to the other characters and audience from someone who actually knows what she is talking about.”

 

Ydwin is a pale elf, elves hailing from the frigid polar regions of Eora who range from albino to teal and aquamarine in appearance, herself falling on the near albino side of the spectrum. The production team had fun giving her a stylish, if scholarly look, that belies an inner fascination with the inner workings of the soul. Ydwin is played by Lily James, who told us with some giggling that she had a great time reading for the role and “embracing her inner Goth” for the character. “She’s incredibly smart and perceptive, if very socially insular” James told us. “She prefers to stay in her lab conducting experiments and reading obscure books, but circumstances force her to take part in the adventure.”

 

 

Lily James plays Ydwin

 

Since three women are not enough, the final major ally joining the crew in this film is a mysterious woman named Nysera. Compared to the prior two roles, the team behind Pillars is keeping mostly mum about this character, merely saying that she has a personal stake in matters and is absent for most of the first half of the film, but when she appears she forms a near instant connection with Sarana. “You get the sense that there is something a bit off about her, a bit detached from reality, and yet powerful” Sapochnik says. From the cryptic clues being dropped by the production team, we get the sense that Nysera will become very important to the story’s progression. The only thing we are conclusively told is that “Nysera” is not necessarily her actual name. “The character in the game did not have a name, only a title” Sapochnik says. “Since we quickly realized there was no good way to work that title into a film script, we decided to give her a name to use, and there is a reason why she uses the name she does.”

 

Nysera is played by Rebecca Ferguson, who was thrilled to play a character that is calm and serene on the surface, yet seems to be masking some kind of inner turmoil or pain. “She is someone who is aimless, uncertain of her place, and the minute she meets Sarana she becomes utterly convinced of what she is supposed to do” Ferguson says.

 

Rebecca Ferguson

 

Another ally who does not show up until the film’s second half is one who the production team says will only have an extended cameo in this movie, but will become much more important in the third film is Hiravias, an orlan. Orlans are another race barely seen in the first movie, and the production team describes them as “Hobbits, only hairier and a lot more feral.” Orlans actually come in two subtypes, one of which is more human in appearance, the other being more animalistic, covered in fur and with more feline-esque features. Hiravias belongs to the second group. Hiravias hails from Eir Glanfath, a loose confederacy of tribes that inhabits the savannas, hills, and swamps east of the Dyrwood. Willimon reminds us that a group of Glanfathans assaulted Sarana’s caravan at the start of the first film for camping near old Engwithan ruins, and that their inclusion in this film indicates that at least some of Team Sarana will be trekking to another set of Engwithan ruins on the fringes of the Dyrwood.

 

Concept art for Hiravias

 

Hiravias will be played by Sam Riley, who says he had a lot of fun playing the jovial Orlan, who delights in crude humor and irreverent personality. “He thinks he is a comedian of sorts, though a lot of the time he’s the only one in on the joke” Riley says. “He’s searching for something as well, and his encounter with Sarana sets off a lightbulb in his head that perhaps this is the way he might be able to find it.”

 

Sam Riley joins to play Hiravias

 

The last major ally Team Sarana will have on this next leg of their journey is a lot older and lot more dangerous. Lady Webb, played by Jessica Lange, is an information broker who runs the largest and most effective spy ring inside the Dyrwood, and upon learning of Sarana’s investigations in Defiance Bay she shanghais the Watcher into working for her. “Lady Webb is usually the smartest person in the room” Lange tells us, “and everyone in Defiance Bay knows it, especially her. So, she is very confident and very arrogant, but she’s earned the right to be so. She knows that something is rotten in the state of the Dyrwood and she figures Sarana can ferret out the truth and bring it to light.” Lange also hints to us that Webb has an interesting past that might play into the series of major questions driving the story forward.

 

Jessica Lange plays the regal and imposing Lady Webb

 

And so Pillars of Eternity: Never Far From the Queen is shaping up to be quite the epic yarn. Both Sapochnik and Willimon state that they think this middle child of the initial trilogy will likely be the longest film of the three, due to the political intrigues that drive much of the movie as well as a big trek for a bunch of the characters that takes up a good chunk of the second act. “The first film we took a gamble in that the first half of it has little action and it is a lot of character development and plot pieces moving into place, and audiences seemed to not mind that based on the box office. So we’re not shying away from that approach. This film as well takes it time to get things set up, but once it does it will get on quite a roll.”

 

As for the other returning characters, Sapochnik states that if the first movie could be seen as Eder’s film, then “this one belongs to Aloth. There’s a couple things that our wizard friend has kept hidden from the others, and both of them will come to light in this movie. One of them early on, the other a lot closer to the end. And one of them might be too much for the rest of his new group of friends and colleagues to handle.”

 

And what about our enigmatic deity Wael, who had promised Sarana that they would pop in now and then to give a nudge if absolutely needed? "Wael only knows" Sapochnik replied with a smirk.

 

The Watcher meeting Wael in the Beyond

 

With that last tantalizing hint out of the way, we conclude our visit with the cast and crew.
