Jude Law had 'thrilling' experience shooting Eden. In Ron Howard’s latest film, which is based on a true story, the British actor plays a "very eccentric doctor" named Ritter who turned his back on society and moved to Floreana island in the Galápagos in the 1930s. During an appearance on the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast on Monday, Law detailed playing such an "extreme" personality in the movie. ”Ritter, who I play, extracted all his own teeth before he left because he didn't want any dental issues and wore metal dentures to eat with. (So) I have these metal teeth.” "And he was a nudist so he's sort of strolling around butt naked most of the time with bionic teeth. I mean the characters in it are larger than life and highly unlikable for most of it. I found (it) thrilling.” The Talented Mr Ripley star noted that they shot the film on "a very tight budget and tight schedule” and it's unlike most of the films Howard has directed in the past, such as Apollo 13 and The Da Vinci Code. ”It's Ron in that well-deserved chapter of his life doing exactly what he wants to do. It's a project he was curious about for I think nearly 15 years and it was a tricky one to get made.” Eden, also starring Sydney Sweeney, Vanessa Kirby and Ana de Armas, debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Law acknowledged the reception had been "divisive" as he praised the film's message. ”I think it's a challenging piece. It's not a spoon-feeder, the characters are unusual, what they do to each other is pretty dark, but there's a real pure message in it.” "It's very much about where and what we need to do to survive today. That's really what's at the heart of it.”
