"Criminal” director Chris Marrs Piliero opened up to MTV about working with Britney’s boyfriend Jason Trawick in the video.
At first, Piliero was not keen on the idea of featuring Jason in the
video, but was up for the challenge. “When she first hit me up, she had a
basic story in mind, and she actually always originally planned to have
Jason, her boyfriend, play the role, and I wasn’t super stoked on that
idea at first.”
“I wanted to make a really rad, epic video, and I definitely got the
sense from her she wanted something really cool,” he explained. “And in
my mind, I was just thinking then, ‘We really should not be using your
boyfriend; we should get an actor.’ So, I mean, I didn’t say that, but
in the back of my mind, I’m like, ‘I don’t like this idea at all.’ ”
“At the end of the day, Jason killed it. That was one of those things
I was really stoked [about], as much as I went into it like, ‘Wow, he’s
not an actor. This is going to be interesting,’ but I really do like a
challenge, and I really do like the idea that I’m a director and my job
is to direct and get the performance. For me, it was a fun challenge to
be like, ‘I’m gonna make sure that you are awesome,’ and he was.”
