00:00So this is where he grew up, and we sort of wanted to find a place that will make the audience realize, you know, he's come from a pretty well-off family.
00:09He's got money. We were looking for a place that had sort of a masculine architecture, something to hold up to someone as wonderful as Jessica Lange.
00:16I mean, there's a power in her on the screen. So we're introduced to her at this mansion.
00:21I'll never beat you, Mr. Dexter. But if you ever give me a point again, I'll fire you.
00:30The moment I had this script, I kind of knew who I wanted. So I chased her down.
00:37You're not narcissistic enough to put on a show, nor are you an adolescent.
00:42And I don't think we have to say that you're far from being stupid.
00:47She's an ascendant in the sense of everything that Jim's not, which is why their relationship is so polar.
00:53It's why she doesn't understand him. She's like, how could you possibly want to basically throw all of this money away?
00:58And it's why, as a location, we chose what actually is, in fact, the Playboy Mansion, because the architecture of that place is so heavy.
01:07It sort of looks like a Scottish kind of castle.
01:10And the grey stone, I sort of saw it, in a way, is this sort of weight around her neck.
01:17Like, she'd spent her whole life struggling to find herself in this bucolic billionaire's existence.
01:23But actually, it's a prison.
01:25You're just spinning a cylinder in a revolver, and you're doing it on purpose.
01:34I'm not giving you any more.
01:37Mark's a wonderful actor. I mean, I've always loved his work.
01:42And it's partly the reason I did this, because I wanted to work with him.
01:46And, like I said, the script I found intriguing.
01:49And, like I said, the script I found intriguing.
