In Paramount+’s new eight-episode thriller, Rabbit Hole, Lost Boys star and lead of the Fox hit series 24, Kiefer Sutherland, plays John Weir an expert in corporate espionage who runs afoul with some very powerful people. Ahead of the series premiere on March 26, Sutherland spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub on what it is about this role that’s something he’s wanted to do since he started his career and how he relates to the character of John Weir.
From the screenwriters behind Bad Santa and I Love You Phillip Morris, showrunners Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, Rabbit Hole, follows John Weir (Sutherland), an expert in manipulation, who deals specifically in corporate espionage and aiding companies in muddying the reputations of their competitors. When the target of one of Weir’s gigs winds up murdered, he finds himself at the center of a struggle to preserve democracy, and mysterious, string-pulling powers frame him for the crime. In the fight for his innocence, Weir must take on an invisible enemy that is, essentially, everywhere.
During his interview, Sutherland shares which ‘70s-era thrillers influenced Ficarra and Requa when writing Rabbit Hole and which aspect of Weir “...caught [him] out of the gate,” and convinced him to get involved. He reflects on today’s “technological revolution,” how topical the series is, and reveals how much he knew about his character arc going into filming… and how much he didn’t! For all of this and Sutherland’s take on the phenomenon that is Lost Boys, check out the interview in the player above, or read the full conversation below.
