‘Presumed Innocent’ Director on the Tense Courtroom Showdown Between Real-Life In-Laws Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard: ‘There Was a Safety and Trust and Love There’
Director Greg Yaitanes discusses Rusty and Tommy's intense courtroom showdown in 'Presumed Innocent,' offering a behind-the-scenes look of Episode 7.
In the penultimate episode of Apple TV+’s “Presumed Innocent,” created by David E. Kelley, former ADA Rusty decides the best way to fight for his life is to represent himself in court and take the stand to answer questions from lead prosecutor (and his work rival) Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard). All of this happens in a matter of minutes after Raymond Horgan (Bill Camp), Rusty’s original lawyer, has a heart attack and nearly dies in the middle of the courtroom –– a rather important deviation from Scott Turow’s 1987 book on which the series is based. In addition to “Presumed Innocent,” Yaitanes has previously worked with production company Bad Robot and J.J Abrams on “Castle Rock,” and most recently directed three episodes of HBO’s “House of the Dragon,” including the Season 1 finale.
