Los Angeles, September 3, 2025 - Veteran actor John Turturro sat down with ComingSoon’s Brandon Schreur to discuss his role in the upcoming psychological thriller The Cut, co-starring Orlando Bloom. Turturro revealed how he reshaped his character’s motivations and training methods, and offered insight into the film’s intense production process. He praised Bloom’s dedication, noting that the lead actor’s extreme physical transformation-losing nearly 30 pounds for the role-created a “real vulnerability” that made his own performance “easy to step into.” The Cut is set for U.S. release on September 5, 2025, via Republic Pictures.
