We spoke w/ joejonas and Thomas Sadoski about DevotionMovie and about whether making a movie is harder than being on tour.
Director J.D. Dillard's historical drama, Devotion, tells the heroic story of the U.S. Navy's first-ever Black carrier pilot Ensign Jesse Brown and his wingman Lieutenant Tom Hudner . Set during the Korean War, the two fighter pilots form a strong bond of friendship during a time of segregation and conflict, leading to a heartbreaking act of devotion when one of their planes are shot down behind enemy lines.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY COLLIDER: Over the last few years, people have gotten very comfortable watching things at home. And I want to emphasize that this is a movie you want to see in a movie theater. So can you talk about that aspect of the film, that you want to get off your ass and go see this?JOE JONAS: Absolutely, and it's not even the action that obviously would draw you into a theater to feel like you can actually feel the gunshots, I think it's also the way it was shot.
Joe, I am curious, is there any similarity in preparing for a movie, and for a tour. Because from the outside, it feels like there's a lot of mental preparation, physical preparation, and I'm just curious if there's any similarity. For both of you, what is the secret to making sure that you are portraying a real person in the most honest and authentic way that you can? Prior to stepping on set.
