Jeremy Thomas: I was sent a script with a Jonathan Glazer attached, called “Sexy Beast”. It was on a Friday night, and I read it over the weekend. The screenplay was brilliant, and on the Monday I bought it before anyone else could. I knew Jonathan’s incredible work on music videos and commercials. He’s a unique talent. The film is very tough and very funny, and the perfect cast for a gangster movie, with Winstone, McShane, Kingsley, and many real criminals as actors. The rock really rolled down into the pool. It had a camera in it. I always enjoy the language in this film, but it was very difficult to make a trailer with any dialogue in it!
