00:03Il suo carattere di Milton è un misterio per me.
00:07Il suo carattere è un morto, morto.
00:10E lo sopravamo a dire che, morto, morto.
00:14E quello che ha detto è un modo di potere,
00:17un modo di poterciare in dimensioni di fisica e misteri che non ho mai approcciato.
00:24Io volevo essere un carattere che era un tipo di ghost,
00:27something that would raise more questions than answers
00:30something that would make you ask what was I thinking
00:36and also working with Patrick Lussier
00:39he was somebody that I felt had a vision
00:43had a bold vision
00:44he wasn't afraid to make the movie R instead of PG-13
00:49and whatever that cost in terms of box office dollars
00:52whatever we left on the table
00:54he was going to make his movie the way he wanted to make it
00:57and I admired that about him
00:59it was a chance for me to live one of my fantasies
01:03of embracing the sort of iconic 1970s anti-heroes
01:08of Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood
01:10and then putting in a cult spin on it
01:13and then on top of that doing it in 3D
01:17which to me was a little historic
01:24it made me uncomfortable
01:25and I was at a point in my career where I thought
01:28anything that makes me uncomfortable is exactly what I should be doing
01:31if it makes me uncomfortable
01:33then that means I have to really think about it
01:37and I thought that it was going to be a challenge
01:43once again it gave me an opportunity to explore the supernatural
01:46which to me anytime I can do something in horror or science fiction
01:52I'm going to go for it
01:53because I believe that film actors have just as much right
01:57to be avant-garde as musicians or poets or painters
02:02and one of the only ways I can do that
02:05and still connect with audiences
02:06is supernatural or horror or sci-fi
02:14he sees her and he knows immediately
02:17that this is the right girl to help him on his mission
02:22because he has other things at work besides just revenge
02:26he has other needs
02:28she embodies, Amber's character embodies
02:32a kind of very tough, brave young lady
02:38with a heart of gold
02:39and he knows that she could be kind of like a surrogate daughter
02:44there's a familial affection that starts to bond between Milton and Piper
02:49not a romantic one, a familial one
02:52and you can see where he needs her to help him with the end of the movie
02:57and I don't want to give that away
03:04she was great
03:05I mean I consider Amber a friend
03:07and you know she's somebody that is original
03:11she moves well
03:12you know I like watching her work with the camera
03:15she's very gutsy
03:17she's in no way a victim
03:19in no way a damsel in distress
03:22I think she's the heart of the movie
03:29I was blessed with an amazing cast to work with
03:33William Fichtner is outstanding in that part
03:35he's like a...
03:37we all came to it with different energies
03:39I mean he was more...
03:40whereas I was trying to play it more like a ghost
03:42a wraith
03:43he was more like this kind of impish
03:46elfish kind of demonic force
03:49and then we have Billy Burke
03:51who was both scary and hilarious in his portrayal of this like Jim Jones man
03:58who was in love with his own ego in his mind
04:02and then we had great supporting characters
04:06Joe Crest
04:07he has my favorite line in the movie at the end
04:10and he's like we are going to live forever
04:11and I've been laughing about it ever since
04:14that one line
04:15his commitment to it
04:17I mean I just love him in the movie
04:23great
04:24he's so
04:28collaborative
04:28easy to work with
04:30calm
04:32pleasant
04:33never raises his temper
04:36you know
04:37he's
04:37he's
04:37he's a gentleman and a scholar
04:40you know
04:40I mean he's somebody you want to work with
04:46I like the 69 Chevelle
04:49that was
04:49a personal favorite of mine
04:51I used to drive one in my own
04:53my own life
04:54and when I saw that they were going to use one and drive angry
04:57I became very excited because the car is aesthetic
05:01and it's also a good driver
05:03it's a very responsive car
05:04I'm clearly a fan of that one
05:06even over the Dodge Charger
05:14Shreveport is a great place
05:16you know Shreveport and Louisiana in general
05:19is a terrific place to make a movie
05:21because the people are so friendly
05:23it is so relaxed
05:24it's great for family
05:26there's some lovely kind of boutique comic book stores
05:29and little shops that you can go to
05:31and it's you know
05:32and for someone like me
05:34it's lovely
05:35I mean I don't have to think about
05:37you know
05:39cameras and things like that
05:40I can just sort of be myself
05:42and I really enjoyed it
05:50The first week I was like a kid in a candy shop
05:53I mean I wanted to try everything
05:55I was sticking my tongue out
05:56I was punching the camera
05:58doing whatever I could do to get my body
06:01into the fourth or fifth row of the audience
06:04whatever I could do
06:06and then by the time the second week came around
06:08I kind of relaxed into it
06:10and I realized it wasn't going to be much different
06:12than any other movie I've made
06:13and that's a credit to Patrick Lussier
06:15because he really has sorted out all the hiccups with 3D cameras
06:20he's a maestro of it
06:22he's a pioneer of the new wave of 3D
06:26and knows where to put the camera so it doesn't blow out the effect
06:30and he was very efficient and very effective
06:39Artistic
06:40One of my favorite sequences is a flashback sequence
06:43where my character Milton is remembering what Jonah did to my daughter
06:49and I call it like a 3D collage
06:53I've never seen it before in any other film
06:55what Patrick did with the overlays of the moon and Billy Burke's face
07:00and then my face and then my daughter and then the memory of what happened
07:04all happening simultaneously
07:06it was different than traditional linear split screen
07:10it was on top of one another
07:12and that was a first
07:13you know I've never seen that before in a movie
07:20I liked it
07:21I mean it was a fun ride
07:22I mean it was a movie that didn't take itself seriously
07:24it was a movie that was completely embraced
07:26the sort of black comedy absurdity of the tone
07:32and then like 3D it had another dimension underneath it in terms of performance
07:36I mean all these actors were top level actors
07:39and there was a heart to it as well
07:43like an emotional content
07:46so I was very happy with the results
07:54sometimes some movies have to be a different energy on the set I suppose
07:58but by and large if you can have fun while you're making the movie
08:00then it'll be fun for the audience
08:08I mean I am a serious man
08:11and I think that that's
08:13there's nothing wrong with that
08:14most people won't admit that
08:16but I think when you make film
08:18when you make a movie that is trying to be
08:22a celebration of the B movie if you will
08:25that is trying to be bold and politically incorrect
08:28you have to do it in a way that
08:31doesn't take itself seriously
08:33otherwise it's going to lose the charm of it
08:35this movie has to be amusing
08:37it has to be humorous
08:39it has to be fun and funny
08:41and I think that's what it does
08:43that's what it achieves
