Former child star Nicholas Hoult has become one of Britain's most compelling actors. Following key roles in X-Men and Mad Max, he's now ruthlessly eliminating A&R rivals in Kill Your Friends, an adaptation of John Niven's cult novel about the '90s music industry. We sent the only person for the job, bestselling author John Niven himself, to get into Hoult's head.
