The Convert – Lee Tamahori
Jul 20, 2024
Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day, Along Came a Spider) spoke with MovieWeb’s Matt Mahler about his latest film, The Convert. Tamahori’s action-filled historical epic stars Guy Pearce as Thomas Munro, a newly arrived preacher in a colonial town in early 19th-century New Zealand who finds himself at the center of a long-standing battle between two Māori tribes. The Convert was released July 12, 2024 and is available on digital platforms.
The director also discussed his Anthony Hopkins film The Edge and working with David Mamet, and his decision to return to local New Zealand filmmaking after making action blockbusters like the James Bond movie Die Another Day and the Vin Diesel movie XXX: State of the Union.
