In the worst kind of paparazzi style of, find the people that are in the most pain, and stick a lens right in their face.
That it needed to stick the lens right in those poor people’s faces. With the treatment of the siblings on the boat, it seemed very apparent to me very quickly - immediately, really - on reading that, that the camera needed to be a sadist. Given all of that, how did you decide what your overall visual approach would be, with the kids at Connor’s wedding, and the other characters on the plane? So it’s a huge and scary choice to actually kill off that character. Not to over-aggrandize ourselves, but he’s got a lot of heft. Brian is an incredible actor, and this is an incredibly powerful character in modern television drama. We went to HBO, and chatted with Casey and Francesca and Nora and the gang there - and they were incredibly supportive.īut there was a lot of trepidation. That’s when he first told me about this idea, that it should happen early in the season in an episode slot that you would not necessarily expect, and this idea of actually creating, hopefully, great drama out of mundanity - you know, the inconvenience of it all. It was way back when we were doing Season 3 - I think we were in pre-production for Season 3. When did Jesse Armstrong first tell you that Logan would be dying this season? The day after the episode aired, Mylod spoke with Variety about directing “Connor’s Wedding.” He revealed that Logan’s death had been in the works since before the show’s third season, how he filmed the boat scenes in which the Roys are dealing with the tsunami that is Logan’s death, that unscripted hug among the siblings - and what the episode’s final image nearly was. “Connor’s Wedding” is simultaneously propulsive, with a real-time vibe, and heartbreakingly emotional - as Logan’s kids veer wildly through their grief.
As can happen with sudden tragedies during the age of cellphones, the news of what’s happened on the plane - where Logan has collapsed, and is receiving (likely futile) treatment - travels to the boat in a staccato, deficient and maddening manner, with Tom (Matthew Macfadyen), Shiv’s estranged husband, serving as the medical event’s ill-equipped messenger.
