00:01You know why I'm doing this movie?
00:03I have money, I already have fame, I already have Oscars.
00:06What do I get that I want?
00:08Some fun.
00:09I want to have fun.
00:14You have been working on this project for a while.
00:1730 years.
00:21How can someone spend 120 million dollars of their own money on film?
00:26Say a prayer.
00:27Action!
00:28I read the script 25 years ago.
00:32I'm Giancarlo Esposito.
00:35People may look back in 30 years and say,
00:37God, you've got to go back and watch Mechalobolis.
00:39No one I'm working with realizes how weird a movie this really is.
00:43I read it and then I emailed him back and I said,
00:45this is a nightmare.
00:46What is going on right now?
00:49That guy knows.
00:51He is structured to trust his cast,
00:53to come up with something that he hasn't thought of.
00:55I want you to be able to do anything you want to do.
00:58You seem to thrive on chaos.
01:00No.
01:01I am confronting chaos.

01:06He works from pure passion.
01:08Give me what I want!
01:10I don't know what you want.

01:13And he's very repressed.
01:15He's very what?
01:16What?

01:18I was so young when I started working with him.
01:20He is my godfather.
01:23It's Francis.
01:24I know where I am and I know it's the Super Bowl.
01:27He's got a big dream.
01:28He feels that it's visceral.
01:30We're in need of a great debate about the future.
01:33That's good.
01:34That's what's extraordinary about Francis.
01:36He's the opposite of me.
01:37I'm a planet out, plodding along, and he's a jump off the cliff guy.
01:42Jacques Dati, for his last film, put all his money in and lost it.
01:46And died broke.
01:47Who cares if you died broke if you've made something that you think is beautiful?
