Interview with Cillian Murphy
Cillian Murphy, who plays psychic-debunker fraud in a thriller Rodrigo Cortes “Red Lights”, screened at the Festival Sundance Film Festival, in an interview resource CraveOnLine talked about his work on the film and about possible involvement in the final part of "The Dark Knight 2: The Legend Continues" .
- Since then, as the "Red Lights" were shown at festivals, has the film undergone any changes?
I think it slightly corrected.
- Had you reshoot some scenes in?
No changes were mounting.
- If the end has undergone a change, did not work out so that your role in the film and the game now look different?
No, because the essence of the finale remains the same - just get a compressed version of it. In any case, better to ask this question, Rodrigo, as he is the man who has decided to amend.
- "Red Lights" an excellent drama about the supernatural, but even if we assume that similar phenomena - reality, the film still has no definite answer to this question.
Yes, for me personally, the question of paranormal phenomena is reduced to two points of view expressed are those who believe in the supernatural, and the skeptics. In this film, I was repelled by the image of my hero: his energy, his obsession and, finally, his way to take himself - that's what worried me. I see two main driving factors: the world around us and the paranormal, which I either accept or not. It is with this deal and Tom Buckley.
- How is to play a major role in the film with Robert De Niro and Sigourney Weaver on the sidelines?
(Laughs) Yeah, this fact does not meet in my head. It's kind of ridiculous and will never become commonplace. It will always be extraordinary, because these guys - my heroes, they are a legend. I think it's a tribute to the quality of work they wanted execute the project. Rodrigo acquired those actors who wanted from the very beginning.
- Is it possible, when you feel like with your colleagues on an equal footing, and stop treating them just as people who admired in your youth?
You know, these people are in a separate category. When the camera turns and you're shooting a scene, there are just two actors under the floodlights, and when the light goes off, you immediately think, "Wow, I just co-starred with Robert De Niro, it's unbelievable."
- Are you still doing tests for the movies?
If there is such a need. Good movie, really good, very few and rare, and everyone wants to get them. So, if that is what you want, you do the sample. I always thought that the actors and listen to sample - part of the work. Of course, very pleased when a large part of your job becomes your calling card, but I do not have anything against trials.
- The last sample you did for the movie ...?
Do not even remember now. Thing is that you often meet with the same people. First you are working with someone for the first time, after a while they invite you again, because you have learned in the case and then you get the role of thumb.
- 2005 brought many changes to you, is not it?
I do not know what happened in 2005?
- "Night Flight" and "Batman Begins."
Exactly. Probably the two biggest of the project. I think that the film "28 Days Later" became for me a kind of tipping point, because the first time I played the lead role, but the picture had a resonance in the states, while other films in which I was occupying, were largely independent Irish films, which, except in Europe, nobody was interested in. So, the "28 Days Later" - is a watershed.
- You had the chance to appear in "Dark Knight 2: The Legend Continues"?
It will rolled out in July, is not it? Then all of us, including the eager journalists have not long to wait (laughs).
- But if you were not there, you can simply say "no"?
Well, is not it great just to go to the movie and enjoy it? We're all obsessed with spoilers. Why? Let's enjoy the movie. I know now, the era of the Internet, but there is something chaste to look forward to viewing, not reading script, or without thinking, what the actors you see there.
- You are right, and I do not expect that you will answer my question.
I just think that all I have now asked about the same.
- In the "Throne: The Legacy" You had an interesting role. You are going to participate in future film of franchise?
It is not anticipated that my character back. Since I am a big fan of the original film, I did my best to get into the movie. I satisfied my craving, so I do not think I shall appear in these films.
- Already written the script for the third film.
Really?
- So you really have not heard anything.
No, not heard.
- Have you changed your acting skills since you started acting?
Yes, when I first started acting, especially in films, I've never practiced. I never intended to become an actor, so sometimes I felt like I was interfering in the affairs of others. I think with age you gain experience and confidence. You learn patience. I am sure that you change with age. It is said to be an actor, it takes 30 years, so I have created an even 15.
