These two weirdos who wrote and directed it, Scott and Brian, who also wrote, for instance, A Quiet Place. They're interesting guys. They...

did years of research to come up with the arguments I make in this film, and I think they are really quite startling and fascinating. So, yeah, I enjoyed all that part of it. And it's filmy.

And it's daring because traditionally, as you know, films tend to try and keep their dialogue quite pithy and short. This is very dialogue heavy. How are you at learning your lines? Well, worse and worse. You know, the older I get, the more I drink. But I now start weeks and weeks early. And I go for walks every day, going through every single line over and over again.

Because I think they, I have a theory that they're like dance steps. And that the more you repeat your dance steps, the more you can't forget them on the day. And then on the day you can have other thoughts and other feelings and do what actors are supposed to do.
