Back in 2017, Bell unpacked the jigsaw character in an interview with Den of Deek and explained what initially attracted him to the role.
“The attractiveness of the film, for me, was: I had never worked with Danny Glover, and I wanted to work with him. I thought that three guys locked in a room was, like… no one was making films about three guys locked in a room. And it threw to Waiting For Godot, for me, on some level. And then, the ending, which I did not anticipate when I read the script,” Bell explained.
“I thought, if they shoot this well, it could be one of those really shocking moments in film, that, if you do one of those, in an entire career, it’s great. You know? It seems to me, there’s a movie called Four Corners, where John Turturro throws his mother out of the kitchen window, quite out of the fucking blue,” he continued. “And I was like, ‘what!’, you know? If you ever have a chance, see that film, because that moment is like… you don’t expect it, at all. And I like when there are very unexpected things in films.”
Bell added, “And they did shoot it well. It had a very strong effect, which was great.”
