"Is He Going to Go That Dark?": 'The Amateur' Director on Why Rami Malek's Protagonist Is Nothing Like What You've Seen Before

Director James Hawes has been a creative force on an enormous range of critically and audience-acclaimed series and films. Cutting his teeth on Doctor Who, and soon moving on to similarly popular projects like Snowpiercer and The Alienist, he became baked into the DNA of one the world’s current favorites, Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman. Now, Hawes is back on the big screen with his latest espionage thriller, The Amateur, starring Academy Award-winner Rami Malek and adapted from Robert Littell's 1981 novel of the same name.
