I can honestly say I've never chosen a film because where it's shot is convenient.
The sexiest part of the body is the eyes. That's what I believe.
As far as career goes, make sure you're in it for the right reasons - and make sure that the work itself is the most important thing.
I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.
A terrible thing happens and it's a nightmare that begins and just seems to spiral out of control.
often attracted to people with conflicts or flawed people because they're more interesting. There's something very attractive about playing an ordinary guy trying to cope with extraordinary things. He's a flawed human being struggling.

He's a very inspired choice for a movie like this because he's very specific and precise and he's very psychologically clear.

I'm not a great one for classic horror or cheap thrills.
