The die is cast.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you think about what 'The Killing' is, it is the theatrical production, not the script.
Actors love to act all those death scenes.
Stage performing is a dying art form.
Cast is everything.
The one thing for an actor that is complete death is if you're bored, because that boredom will show in your work.
The thing is, I love a great death scene - no good actor doesn't. Sorry, any actor, I should say.
If a character dies, you get to do a big, juicy death scene. But the flip side is you're out of the sequel, which is where the real money is.
Casting is storytelling.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living.
You can't just plain die. You got to do it by the book.
