Oscar Isaac Friends

As soon as we met him, it was clear that he [Oscar Isaac] was meant to be Abel. Everything from the glint in his eye to the self-assured brow to the confidence and the guts just seeped out of his pores, and it was impossible for J.C. to not take notice. — Anna Gerb, producer

The film is very much Oscar’s movie, just point blank. He is the backbone of this film. He’s an amazing actor who’s able to hold the screen. — J.C. Chandor, director

She [Jessica Chastain] was telling him [J.C. Chandor] about me, which was really kind of her, and then we met and had a few meetings where we would just go and hang out and talk a little bit about it. And I read the script and said yeah, I’d love to be a part of it. Then we went forward. — Oscar Isaac
