On the set of Universal’s 2 Guns, Icelandic directorBaltasar Kormakur left little doubt about who was in charge.
On a whim, Kormakur decided to hang starsDenzel Washington and Mark Wahlbergupside down by their feet and unleash a raging bull on them.
“It wasn’t written that way in the script, so I kind of had to convince them to do this,” he recalls. “It wasn’t easy, but they went along with it. It turned out to be a fun day, at least for me.”
The bullish move isn’t typical for European directors, who are often courted by the major studios, knowing they will be malleable and take orders. But the actor-turned-helmer didn’t come to Hollywood to be bossed around.
In fact, when Kormakur landed his first studio project—Universal’s 2012 Wahlberg vehicle Contraband—he came with an ace up his sleeve. Having produced and starred in the Icelandic version on which the film was based, he owned the underlying material.

“I had a bit more control,” he explains. “I wasn’t interested in just becoming a hired hand.”
The 47 year old already enjoyed a successful career in his native country. After his 2000 black comedy 101 Reykjavik became an international breakout, Hollywood came calling. He first signed with CAA, which started sending him horror scripts.
“That’s not my genre, so I wasn’t interested,” he says. “I decided to keep on working at home.”
Kormakur moved to ICM for a while and pitched his own ideas around town, finding little interest. He made the small English-language film A Little Trip to Heaven with Forest Whitaker back in Iceland, but still felt no burning desire to make the switch to Hollywood, at least not as a director for hire.
