Eugene Lee Yang on Nimona, meeting ND Stevenson, and playing Ambrosius Goldenloin

Eugene Lee Yang sat down with us to talk about playing Ambrosius Goldenloin in Nimona, his first meeting with creator ND Stevenson, and the magic of what the directors brought to the film.

Synopsis: When Ballister Boldheart (Riz Ahmed), a knight in a futuristic medieval world, is framed for a crime he didn't commit, the only one who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona (Chloë Grace Moretz), a mischievous teen with a taste for mayhem — who also happens to be a shapeshifting creature Ballister has been trained to destroy. But with the entire kingdom out to get him, Nimona’s the best (or technically the only) sidekick Ballister can hope for. And as the lines between heroes, villains, and monsters start to blur, the two of them set out to wreak serious havoc — for Ballister to clear his name once and for all, and for Nimona to…just wreak serious havoc.

Directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane, NIMONA is an epic tale about finding friendship in the most surprising situations and accepting yourself and others for who they are. Based on the National Book Award-nominated, New York Times best-selling graphic novel by ND Stevenson.

I so badly wanted to end “I’m right” with “you’re wrong, shut up.” I’ve never been very into animated films, but I’ll check this one out. I teach 4th grade, and this feels like something I could recommend to my students and connect over.
