Tribune reporter -November 28, 2011- Chicago Tribune
The TNT TV movie “Scott Turow's Innocent” airs Tuesday on TNT. As a companion to our review of the movie, here is a quick, edited conversation with “Presumed Innocent” and “Innocent” author Scott Turow:
Q: Harrison Ford as Rusty Sabich. Bill Pullman as Rusty Sabich. Compare and contrast.
A: Well, first of all, different. I would say that Bill's Rusty is a little closer to what I think the novels suggested, which is that you can see more of what's swimming beneath the surface with Bill, and he's a more vulnerable guy as Rusty. And that's not to down Harrison in the least. But there is a very male — not quite macho, but very male — won't-dent toughness to Harrison. And Bill plays this guy as a much more vulnerable guy, and frankly, especially in the second book, I think that's necessary.
