In the new movie memoryLiam Neeson plays Alex, an expert assassin who refuses to complete a job for a criminal organization and ends up becoming a target and with both the organization and the authorities on the hunt, Alex has to try to stay ahead except there’s a problem: he’s losing his memory. The film also stars Guy Pearce and for Pearce, this is not his first film about amnesia. The actor starred in the 2000 Christopher Nolan movie souvenir, plays Leonard Shelby, a man with short-term memory loss and the inability to form new memories who searches for the people who attacked him and killed his wife. Now, Pierce explains why he likes stories about amnesia.
“Well, it comes down to your identity right away. I mean we all take all the things we know in our lives for granted, and that kind of identity culminates in our identity,” Pierce told ComicBook.com. “So, once you take that away, you take your knowledge, you take your history away, and then what are we? Starting out as a serial killer. So there’s kind of a moral question there and even though he’s losing his memory, I mean he’s clearly a guy with questionable morals. Anyway. But the thing that rises to the surface, even in the face of loss, one’s memory is a moral compass. So, there’s something interesting about that. That’s what I found interesting about the text. Obviously, it’s a completely different kind of amnesia for my character. In Memento, but amnesia is amnesia. Once their stories come out go, then they go.”
Of course, stories about memory are not the only stories that interest Pierce. The actor also revealed that he would be very interested in returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe if the opportunity presents itself. play pierce iron man 3 Villain Aldrich Killian, and while the character appears to have died horribly in the movie, the circumstances surrounding his death – Operation Extremis – don’t leave the door a bit open.
“I’d be very interested to see him come back,” Pierce said. “And I think the nature of the character is that he is, it’s totally plausible that he could come back. So yeah, I’d like to see what it is too. Because he’s someone, as we saw in iron man 3, which has gone through a kind of massive, rapid change since the beginning of the story. So, who knows where he ended up.”
