One major bonus was finding out that Benedict Cumberbatch was up for appearing in it. Needless to say we didn’t ask for a video to check his miming.
Come the day of the shoot the studio was full of people waiting their turn like it was a doctor’s surgery, and second in line was Benedict on a strict one hour time slot. We’d never met before so I had no idea what to expect. Was he a snotty superstar with a million PAs in attendance? Nope! He was a lovely down-to-earth man, an enthusiastic music fan, and (luckily) an admirer of the original Cry video. We did two takes with him, both flawless, except for the stray ‘and’ towards the end of the song that tended to screw everyone up.
After Benedict set the benchmark everyone who followed nailed it in two takes. That includes Craig, Mark and Pete of Elbow, who trained in from Manchester, Guy’s wife Rachael Stirling and brother Marcus, both accomplished actors. They were all extraordinary to work with and had that classic, no bullshit northern sense of humour that set the tone for the day.
