At the first glance, The Magic Flute appears to be your regular, run-of-the-mill YA fantasy movie: a young boy with a distinctive scarf goes to a faraway school, where he discovers a magical land filled with snakes, princesses, and yes, a magic flute. The words “Harry” and “Potter” are never uttered, but the movie doesn’t hide its similarities with a certain bespectacled boy wizard.
Jack Wolfe: I knew of [Mozart’s] opera. It’s such a recognizable piece, and my parents are both musicians, so I had that awareness of it. But … I couldn’t say I was a huge fan. I was a little bit intimidated by it, to be honest. Yeah, I went to study music. Yes, I studied piano and singing. But opera scared me there as well.
I mean, the easy answer is that I was consistently terrified by the whole undertaking because it was my debut feature film. And with it also being a special effects-driven fantasy and an opera as well, it felt like a lot to take on all at once. The key for me was getting out of my own head. Florian helped me with that; he’s so calm and focused and he knows exactly what he wants. I could trust him. I was also spoiled by the most incredible cast, which included real opera stars and actors like F.
Something I really enjoy about the fantasy genre is playing a real person with human feelings who is dealing with things that are completely absurd. That’s such a fun thing to explore. In The Magic Flute, it’s different because Tim exists in the real world, but then he escapes into this fantasy.
