We chat with TheUndeclaredWar creator and director kosmosfl about the cyber political thriller, how long he spent developing the story, and more. The series is now streaming on peacockTV!
From the Emmy-nominated director of Wolf Hall and White Oleander comes the political thriller series The Undeclared War. The drama is set within the Government Communications Headquarters, also known as GCHQ, as the UK security agency works to prevent a Russian cybernetic attack during the country's general election.
Screen Rant: The Undeclared War is really quite the thrilling series from start to finish, I did not know what to expect going in, and I was blown away by it. How did the concept for the series really come to mind for you? What would you say was one of the more interesting things or one of your favorite things that you learned from that long research process?
Peter Kosminsky: Well, long is the short answer. I think we took about two years of auditioning different Saaras, and Hannah was there right at the start and, obviously, was a very strong candidate from really early on. But I just needed to be sure, I wanted to try working with her in lots of different parts of the show.
I think on screen what he generates is a sort of sense of honesty, trust and compassion. When I watch him, I feel these kinds of things, and those were all qualities that I wanted to imbue into the characterization of Danny. So, he was always going to be a strong contender, really, but what I didn't know as well as somebody who has been making his life in the largest movies there are was whether he would want to come and slum it in a TV show.
We followed her around, the camera didn't get ahead of her, so the audience doesn't really have the advantage over Saara, the audience is always sort of going on the journey with her, so the camera kind of sits on her shoulder handheld, follows her along the corridor, follows her into a room, rather than preceding her into the room, and sees what she sees and then cuts back onto her face for a reaction. That's what I call a point of view and reaction technique.
