00:00And he said, remember the day at the Queen Mary,
00:02you know, you were kind of an a**hole.
00:04And I said, well, I am kind of an a**hole, so what?
00:08Hi, I'm Aya Debery.
00:10I'm John Malkovich.
00:12And I'm Juliette Lewis.
00:14We have filmed in some pretty amazing locations.
00:17Let's see if we actually remember them.
00:20♪♪
00:24Okay, image number one, location number one.
00:29Oh, I recognize this.
00:31This is a plate with a napkin on it,
00:34but it's shot through almost like a portal.
00:38Ooh.
00:39Do you recognize this?
00:40I...
00:41I think I do.
00:43That was in, I believe, a restaurant.
00:48If it's the restaurant scene at the end
00:52where all the people are Malkovich...
00:53Malkovich, yeah, yeah.
00:55Malkovich, Malkovich.
00:56Malkovich, Malkovich.
00:58Malkovich, Malkovich.
01:00Malkovich!
01:01That was on the Queen Mary in Long Beach.
01:04My guess is that it's from being John Malkovich.
01:09I'm filming it, actually,
01:11with the camera meeting on my shoulder.
01:13Wait, really? Wow.
01:15I remember it was unbelievably hot,
01:17no air conditioners,
01:19and there were a number of people
01:23with my face in a rubber mask
01:28with only the little breathing holes,
01:30so a lot of people were fainting.
01:33And eventually I kind of said,
01:36I'm very happy in my dress.
01:38Life is good. Life is beautiful.
01:41Can we shoot, please? Let's shoot.
01:43People are fainting. Let's get on with it.
01:46Then years later, I got a call from Vince Landay,
01:50who produced Being John Malkovich,
01:51and he said he was working on a new production
01:54that Spike Jonze was doing,
01:56a film called Adaptation.
01:57And would I look at it?
01:59And he said, well, remember the day at the Queen Mary?
02:03And I said, oh, well, I'm sure it's fine.
02:06And Vince said, well, we think you should look at it.
02:09And I said, well, why?
02:11And Vince was like, well, you know,
02:13you're kind of an asshole.
02:15And I said, well, I am kind of an asshole.
02:18So what? That was the scene from that day.
02:22Shut up! Shut up!
02:26Let's really try today to solve our camera problems.
02:30Keep between take time at an absolute minimum.
02:33These masks are really hot.
02:35That was a pretty absurd one.
02:37I want to go back and watch this again.
02:39It was pretty absurd, but mostly it was fun.
02:43I have seen a world that no man should see!
02:46Who's this?
02:49Oh, wait, I think I know.
02:51These are so obscure that you...
02:54These are close-ups.
02:55I'm sure it is.
02:56It looks like Mars.
02:58Wait, are those...
02:59These are snakes that might even be rattlesnakes or cobras, I think.
03:06I think it's a natural-born killer.
03:08Yeah, that's what I was going to say.
03:10So we did shoot in New Mexico,
03:13and that's what Opus reminded me.
03:16I was having flashbacks of Deja Vu.
03:19Tatanka is Russell Means' son, and he's in Opus.
03:24And that's the scene that I shot with his father.
03:28So this we shot, it was freezing,
03:31and we shot with real rattlesnakes all around us
03:34and fake rattlesnakes.
03:36But the cameraman who had to walk backwards,
03:39he doesn't know where the real and fake ones are.
03:42And so the first cameraman was like,
03:44I'm out, I'm not doing it, I'm not doing it.
03:47And then Oliver Stone got a second cameraman
03:51who was a bit more daring or crazy,
03:54and he's like, I'll do it.
03:56And he did it.
04:03The truth is, how I did it, where I wasn't scared,
04:07is I watched the rattlesnake handler
04:10try to get a rattlesnake to bite.
04:12They had to do a close-up.
04:14And this rattlesnake would not bite
04:16this pretend pant leg for anything.
04:18And I was like, why is he not biting it?
04:20He said, it's cold.
04:22Oh, they're not as cold.
04:24They'll stay coiled up, and they're harder to get you.
04:27So I lodged this little safety gem.
04:30They were a bit away, but for the cameraman
04:32who's walking backwards.
04:34Totally different.
04:35Totally different.
04:36We all live to tell.
04:37Here we go.
04:38Oh, I know that.
04:40I know what that is.
04:42That's the bus.
04:43That's in Chicago.
04:44That's from the movie.
04:46Is that the back of my head?
04:48Or is that the back of my head?
04:51I didn't know they shot that in Chicago, though.
04:53On the train, yeah, in Chicago.
04:55Or maybe, I don't know, that's like Old Town or somewhere.
04:59So you're on the L.
05:00Yeah.
05:01I'm on the L.
05:02Was it a real running train?
05:04Yeah.
05:05Whoa.
05:06Yes.
05:07Sound must have loved that.
05:09Our sound department, I don't even know.
05:11I think they're some of the most chill people.
05:13Every line of dialogue on that show,
05:15everybody's talking over each other at the same time.
05:17Sydney, you stir that pot for me, please, chef.
05:19Yes, chef.
05:20You want a cartouche?
05:21Please, thank you, chef.
05:22What's our best day here?
05:23Five?
05:24Like, they just have given it to God at this point.
05:26We're on the train and on the bus on that show very frequently.
05:30And our locations department is like, I don't even know.
05:34They're the best, sweetest people in the world.
05:36And they have so many connections to the city.
05:39Because we use a lot of real locations.
05:41Like, we're out in the city a lot.
05:43Oh, gosh.
05:44Bill is, I think, his name.
05:46But it's like our contact to the public transport city.
05:51And we've, like, used him so much that he's kind of become an unofficial,
05:54like, crew member.
05:56And in the third season, he made a cameo as, like,
05:59an uncle of the character.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Because we just, like, he has given us so many favors
06:07and, like, helped us out so much.
06:10Because our characters are often having contemplative moments
06:13on moving public transit.
06:15There's just really good food in Chicago.
06:18It's really easy to get a seat in a restaurant there when we're filming,
06:22which is nice.
06:23Me and Lionel had a little side quest, like, first season or second season,
06:28because we were like, we really need to get, like, some good soul food,
06:31like, while we're out here.
06:32And so we, like, made it our mission to get really good soul food,
06:35and we found this place.
06:36I thought my foot was going to fall off at the end of when we were done
06:40eating there, which is a compliment.
06:42What is it called?
06:43It's called, but I think it doesn't exist anymore also.
06:47And we literally tried looking for it.
06:49We were like, oh, there's a lore.
06:51But it's called Ooey It Is Too.
06:53Oh.
06:54And there's no one.
06:56There's no Ooey It Is One.
06:58It's just Ooey It Is Too.
07:00Yeah.
07:01It's crazy.
07:02We went straight to the sequel.
07:04Yeah, we went straight to the sequel.
07:05We went out there, and I had, like, a sweet tea that I was like, oh, my God.
07:08Like, I saw my ancestors.
07:10Like, I was like, a portal had opened.
07:13There was a line down the block where people would just, like,
07:15they'd go there every Sunday after church.
07:17And we were just like, all right, yeah, we're here.
07:20Opus.
07:21Yeah.
07:22It's the compound.
07:23Yeah.
07:24Moretti's compound.
07:25Moretti's compound.
07:26I forget the story about it.
07:28Do you remember?
07:29Oh, yeah.
07:30There's, like, a woman who owned this place.
07:34Oh, wait, the place we shot.
07:36Yeah.
07:37Different colorful events might have occurred at this place.
07:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:42Yeah.
07:43It's sort of between Santa Fe and Los Alamos.
07:46It was, I think, a horse, ranch, horse farm, but quite a lovely place.
07:53Probably not at the best time of year.
07:56Definitely not snowing.
07:58So cold.
07:59Snowing, very cold, and, you know, very, very arid, dry landscape for the most part.
08:06But we got a lot of snow and a decent amount of mud as well.
08:10That was a fun trip down memory lane.
08:12Yeah, I agree.
08:13I think we did a pretty good job.
08:14I have to agree.
08:15I said I was.
08:16Yes.
08:17Yes.
08:18Yes.
08:19Yes.
08:20Yes.
08:21Yes.
08:22Yes.
08:23Yes.
08:24Yes.
08:25Yes.
08:26Yes.
08:27Yes.
