He plays an Imperial security droid named K-2SO in Rogue One and spent some time over this past weekend chatting with Slashfilm about bringing this droid to life on screen. We’re talking of course about Alan Tudyk and the splendid motion capture work he performed as this new droid, so take the supplied source link for the full interview and be sure to check out Slashfilm’s interview with director Gareth Edwards that was posted earlier.
I sat down with Tudyk the day after watching 28 minutes of Rogue One footage, which revealed his K-2SO (a digital character created through motion capture) to be an early contender for the film’s MVP. During our all-too-brief conversation, we spoke about bringing humor to a dark movie, avoiding getting typecast, and the importance of spontaneity on set.
