Martin Campbell: I just wanted to make a film that was exciting and that was really entertaining.
And it’s fast-paced; it’s all of that.
And, you know, go to the cinema, have a good night.
If you like it, great, hopefully, you like it.
If you don’t, well, fair enough.
So it’s really entertainment, is what I want.
Martin Campbell: Well, obviously, there’s some plate work there…
Most of it takes place at night, right?
And unfortunately, well, first of all, legally speaking, you’re not allowed up 700 feet.
Trying to shoot that at night is impossible, and they won’t let you.
They simply won’t let you.
They won’t let it happen…
All of the plates are real plates.
But obviously there are visual effects in there and so forth, so.
And they did a pretty good job on the visual effects.
Clive Owen and Taz Skyler’s characters are a generation apart.
I thought was a very interesting aspect of it as well.
Martin Campbell: Well, how the hell do you make it on a limited budget?
That’s the challenge.
I mean, we had to pull all sorts of tricks out of the book.
I think that was the biggest challenge of all.
But ‘Die Hard’ was such a great movie.
I think that, of course, you’re going to be compared to that.
Architecturally, it’s, the basics the same, but the story is very different.
And it’s back and forth… every time it flips.
And you think, oh, okay, it’s gonna go this way.
It doesn’t go the way that you think it’s gonna go.
Because we had a really short rehearsal period.
