David E. Kelley says new ending for ‘Presumed Innocent' on Apple TV+ ‘wasn't mandatory'
David E. Kelley adapted Scott Turow's bestseller Presumed Innocent as an eight-episode series for Apple TV+ last year. Between the book and the 1990 movie adaptation, the original revelation of the murderer might no longer be a surprise. So, Kelley chose a different character to be the killer in his season finale. 'It wasn't mandatory,' Kelley told Gold Derby on the red carpet at Apple TV+'s FYC space at the Hollywood Athletic Club. 'I was open to the idea that it could still be the same killer but we kind of let the story speak to us. As it was unfolding, we settled on the route we took.' More from GoldDerby Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Fiona Shaw, and every 'Bad Sisters' Emmy acting submission How David Bowie inspired Eddie Redmayne's 'Day of the Jackal' transformations D'Arcy Carden on her 'dream come true' joining 'The Handmaid's Tale' and Phoebe's 'different Aunt energy' Jake Gyllenhaal plays Rusty Sabich, a lawyer accused of slaying his colleague, Caroline Polhemus (Renate Reinsve), with whom he was having an affair. Rusty's nemesis, Tommy Molto (Peter Sarsgaard), prosecutes Rusty despite a clear conflict of interest. Though the killer is only revealed to Rusty's family, Sarsgaard suspects the ending still validates Tommy's suspicions. Apple TV+ 'I think Tommy always knew who was involved and he was correct about that,' Sarsgaard said, without giving away the spoiler. 'He wasn't incorrect [about] the person he suspected who was covering something.' Now that all eight episodes are available to stream, it's well-known the show ends differently. Other updates Kelley made to Turow's 1987 debut novel included combining characters and incorporating 2024 elements like DNA evidence and cellphone technology. 'I think what was more important is that we declared ourselves out of the gate that we were going to take departures from the underlying material,' Kelley said. 'So at least the viewer would not feel comfortable that they knew the outcome.' Bill Camp plays Rusty's lawyer, Raymond Horgan, who is so troubled by the case that he has nightmares about Rusty committing the murder. Though Raymond is unaware of the final revelation, Camp said the damage is done regardless of who did it. 'I think he'd find it heartbreaking,' Camp said. 'The darkness that everyone's living in now, not knowing who that murderer is except for that family, I think it would be heartbreaking for everyone to find out.' Finding out the new identity of the killer in Episode 8 reminded Sarsgaard of another mystery show he appeared in. In Season 3 of The Killing, Sarsgaard recalled his costar being devastated to find out he was the killer. This moment drove home for Sarsgaard the nature of episodic television with ongoing writers' rooms. 'We got the final episode, he came up to my trailer really upset,' Sarsgaard said. 'He said, 'Oh, it's me. I'm the killer.' I thought, 'F--k.' Movies is just all preparation from the beginning.' Apple TV+ Kelley acknowledged that he was asking a lot of his lead actor. Viewers would judge Rusty for cheating on his wife, Barbara (Ruth Negga), and possibly suspect him of murder — yet he remains the protagonist of the series. 'He had a heavy lift in this series,' Kelley said of Gyllenhaal. 'A writer can put that on the page all he wants but it's up to the actor to inhabit those qualities to make the audience care. So I think viewers were condemning Rusty on a lot of fronts but rooting for him just the same.' Episodic directors said the series benefited from Gyllenhaal and Sarsgaard's real-life relationship. They are brothers-in-law, as Sarsgaard is married to Jake's sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal. Greg Yaitanes directed Episodes 3-7, culminating in the scene where Tommy cross-examines Rusty. 'They can practice,' Yaitanes said. 'They were roommates as well so they were staying with each other so they just worked at that scene. There was this added intangible benefit of their trust and closeness that they got into every scene.' Anne Sewitsky directed the first two episodes and the final one. She also benefited from Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal's familial friendship in her episodes. 'There was kind of a shortcut or shorthand into the way we played with those scenes,' Sewitsky said. 'They like to throw things around. I love that so we were doing a lot of improv and we were adding a lot of stuff.'
