Jeremy Saulnier Says Patrick Stewart Helped Keep ‘Green Room’ Alive

Patrick Stewart’s connection to Green Room began at a precarious moment for the project. According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Jeremy Saulnier recalled ahead of a Friday screening that the film had been in danger of shutting down before Stewart unexpectedly expressed interest.

Saulnier credited that intervention with helping save the movie from being scrapped. His account offers a striking glimpse at how uncertain a film’s future can be—and how interest from one established performer can become a crucial turning point.
