And because I was like, it's true that I had made a series of films that were pretty violent and dark. And that is a, there's a toll to this. There's like a weight that... And I needed to go toward, and I think that science fiction also helped me to go toward something like looking in the future or something that's more, there's more light there, I feel right now.

You know that the past movies are like, I'm the father of those movies. It's like, I see movies sometimes as a selfie of yourself. You know when you look at pictures of yourself when you were a teenager? The shame?

Honestly, very simply, I need good hours, sleeping hours. And one thing that I did on the past two movies, which was like... advice from Ridley Scott, because I said, I asked Ridley, how do you do it?

How do you, how can you make, say when I make a movie, Ridley makes three movies, and he has a very high pacing, and it's just how to make sure that your hours, shooting hours are regular, that there's no, so I, we do what we call French hours, meaning we shoot 10 hours a day, But without break, no lunch, no breaks. So it means that the hours are always the same.

You always start the day at the same time and end the day no overtime. So it's like it creates a balance in your schedule. I love that. So you're not content. You do that on every job, right? On the past jobs, yes, yes, yes. I didn't do that on Blade Runner and I almost died. How are you on night shoots?

Yeah, it's about to create a balance in the schedule. Trying to find a balance so you will protect the crew from being exhausted. Because for the people who don't know about shooting, it's just that... The nature of the structure of the schedule because of the turnaround of the actors. Sometimes you end up starting your day in the middle of the afternoon and finishing late at night.

So it's like being in constant jet lag. It's not good for creativity.

No, but as I'm shooting, honestly, when I shoot, I'm like, I make a film, it's a 24 hours, seven days a week commitment. way to relax. For me, I'm 100% present to the project.
