On "[total] Recall" Also [sets Were Extraordinary], But This Was Next-level. They Built Two Or Three Blocks Of Midtown Manhattan In 1926 And It Was Inhabited With 400 Extras And 24 Model Ts And A Train System And All That Kind Of Nonsense. It Was Madness. You Would Walk Into Shops And They Would Have The Goods From That Period, It Was Just Huge.

I Love The Grandiosity, How Sweepingly Entertaining Films Can Be. And I Think There's A Place For Films That Pry More Into The Human Condition.

One Of The Great Things About The Film Being So Unusual And Provocative Is The Filmmaker To Me Doesn't Seem To Have A Definite Opinion On The Rights Or Wrongs Or The Immorality Of Behaviors And Systems, He Just Presents A Set Of Very Unusual Circumstances And Asked The Audience To Partake In The Judging Of What Feels Right Or Wrong Or What Feels Natural And Unnatural.

I Had A List Of About 35 Restaurants, 25 Of Which Were Fast-food Joints All Around Los Angeles And I Didn't Get A Quarter Through The List. It Just Became Me Thinking About Going To These Places And Wanting To Enjoy The Food And Food Just Not Being Enjoyable Anymore.

Quite Often On A Movie Like Total Recall You Have This Training Period Of Two Or Three Months Where, Like On The First 'underworld' I Was Doing Gymnastics And Trampolining And All This Stuff Which I Don't Do In The Movie Necessarily, But Mentally It Helps. You Come Home And You Go: 'well, I've Done All That. I Must Be An Action Star Now!' So It Helps You Focus A Little Bit And Gets You Fit.
