The Dutchman Interview: Kate Mara, Aldis Hodge, Zazie Beetz & More

Amiri Baraka’s 1964 play, Dutchman, was an integral artistic work that inspired the Black Arts movement of that decade. With such a seminal text, adapting it through a contemporary lens is an arduous task, but director Andre Gaines (After Jackie) both honored Baraka’s work and brought a sense of inventiveness to his cinematic adaptation of Dutchman, which features a star-studded cast, including André Holland (Love, Brooklyn), Kate Mara (The Martian), Zazie Beetz (Atlanta), and Aldis Hodge (Cross).

World Premiering at SXSW 2025, The Dutchman follows Holland as a successful business executive, haunted by his crumbling marriage and identity crisis, who is drawn into a mysterious game of cat-and-mouse after an interaction with a woman (Mara) on a subway.

At SXSW 2025, Collider’s Perri Nemiroff sat down with Andre Gaines, André Holland, Kate Mara, Zazie Beetz, and Aldis Hodge to discuss The Dutchman, obtaining the rights to Baraka’s play, navigating difficult emotions, and filming on a real moving subway train. Plus, Mara teases her upcoming film with her sister, Rooney Mara, and Werner Herzog, Bucking Fastard, Beetz teases her upcoming film with Gore Verbinski, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, and Hodge teases Cross Season 2.
