‘Under the Banner of Heaven’ Star Daisy Edgar-Jones Knew ‘Pretty Much Nothing’ About Mormonism Before Being Cast
02.05.2022 - 16:51 / variety.com
Wilson Chapman editorIn the new FX on Hulu miniseries “Under the Banner of Heaven,” Daisy Edgar-Jones portrays Brenda Lafferty, a Mormon woman who was murdered with her baby by her religious extremist brother-in-laws. Edgar-Jones came to the project knowing “pretty much nothing” about the case and Mormonism overall.“I came to it really fresh,” she told Variety while promoting the series, which also stars Andrew Garfield as a Mormon detective investigating the killings.
“I think the true crime novel by John Krakauer that the story’s inspired by is incredibly in depth, so that was a really helpful launchpad to then approach the series. But no, I knew pretty much nothing before starting.”The creator of “Under the Banner of Heaven,” Dustin Lance Black, has been working on an adaptation of the John Krakauer book since 2011, and Lafferty’s remaining family members have been involved.
Edgar-Jones told Variety that when working on the series, she tried to be extremely sensitive to the fact that her character was a real person. “I was very concerned when it came to approaching the scenes that I was being really careful and made sure that I approached them with a real kindness and sensitivity to the fact that her family is still alive and they are very much victims of this crime,” Edgar-Jones said.
“I did reach out to Sharon, who is Brenda’s younger sister, ahead of filming, just to introduce myself. I really wanted to touch base in a way.

Mormon murder drama ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’ is riveting

‘Under The Banner Of Heaven’ Review: Andrew Garfield & Daisy Edgar-Jones Star In Dustin Lance Black’s Mormon Detective Thriller
FX/Hulu’s big play for Emmy glory in this incredibly crowded season is an adaptation of Jon Krakauer’s excellent 2003 book “Under the Banner of Heaven,” a historical analysis of the history of Mormonism in this country framed alongside a dissection of a brutal murder case from 1984 in the state of Utah. While the book had the context of the history of the origin of the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints and how it got twisted into the mindset of the fundamentalist sect of Mormonism that pushed Ron and Dan Lafferty to commit brutal murder, the show feels at the beginning like it wants badly to be more “True Detective” and less Ken Burns, improving in the third and fourth episodes as it becomes more about a broken community than a specific murder.
