Q: What was it like making this film? The battle scenes in particular must have been hard work.
Michod: "They almost killed me... That sounds like an exaggeration but it's only a little bit... It was something about the heat and the mud and the stress of it. I mean, it's so huge.
"We shot that battle in two weeks. Normally I think (in) a movie of this ambition, you would maybe have five weeks to do it ... I remember driving away from that battlefield when we'd finished it, just feeling like I'd survived something and feeling traumatised ... Anyway it looks good in the movie, I think, now."
Q: Is there a hope the film will help modernise Shakespeare for younger generations, especially given it’s a Netflix movie?
Mendelsohn: "When you have Timothee Chalamet playing King Henry, you're opening doors... to an audience that most probably isn't familiar with the Shakespeare stuff ... Timmy's a movie star. Timmy's got bang."
