Collider: Can you talk about your upcoming projects?
Diego Luna: I am an actor in two films.
It’s something very different from everything I’ve done, but I enjoyed it.
CL
It was the first time I spent a week doing a sequence.
It was this gunfight that lasted six days of shooting.
My wife didn’t believe me when I called her and said “I’m still shooting this.”
She would be like “Where the f*ck are you?”
“I’m still shooting the same truck and the same guy.”
And then, I’m doingCasa de mi Padrealso which is a crazy comedy.
Luna:(laughs) We did a lot of improvising, but his Spanish is really good.
You won’t be able to judge [until you see the film].
I don’t know how good your Spanish is… Luna:Oh, okay, so then you’ll be able to judge.
It was a fun shoot.
How crazy does it get?
Luna:Crazy, crazy!
It’s a crazy film.
What’s the craziest thing that happens?
Luna:The whole thing.
We were allowed to do everything.
Everything we did would have been judged like [we were] the most amateur actors ever.
In the film, the tone is very special.
You are allowed to go through every mistake possible and every cliche.
It’s crazy shit!
Are there any unusual surprises that audiences can look forward to?
Luna:The whole thing, for sure!
You’ve never seen something quite like this.
You’re also involved inElysium?
Luna:Yeah, I shot that.
Can you talk about your character?
Luna:Not much.
The contracts they ask you to sign are longer than the script.
We are part of a process that is the shooting of the film.
So no, I cannot.
They don’t allow me to talk, but I had a great time.
I had a great time!
Did you seeDistrict 9?
I’ll do anything for this guy.
He’s an amazing director.
Can you talk at all about what Neill Blomkamp is like to work with as a director?
Luna:I don’t know if I can.
They’re going to kill me if I start talking more about that than anything else.
Have you wrapped it yet or is it still ongoing?
Luna:I’m wrapped.
It’s a huge film and you, as an actor, are a little part of the process.
Have you seen any of the footage?
How did you first hear about it?
Luna:I got a script from my agent.
It was the conventional way of getting the film.
How does making a film like that compare to some of the other projects you’ve been involved in?
Luna:It’s completely different.
There is a lot.
Everything is planned and designed.
Luna:Yeah, what suddenly happens on the streets and what is suddenly happening to your location.
It’s a completely different way of seeing cinema.
Many times we have to work with what’s there, you know?
I have to say that as an actor, at the end, it’s kind of the same.
Producing is a completely different world.
But, as an actor, at the end, it’s the same.
At the end, the game is pretty much the same.
Look for the full interview soon.
