when I was in high school I was a super R filmmaker I had the pleasure of watching s peeka shoot the Killer Elite in San Francisco I had never uh heard automatic weapons fired before I was amazed how loud they were what was the noise level like on this movie um well I mean especially the D-Day action sequence there were moments when uh we were doing those scenes where for for a second in the scene you forgot that you were in a movie I mean it was that loud that violent you know you've got body parts flying past you blood all over the place plus when those um explosions go off they're kicking up dirt and Pebbles so you're getting hit with stuff and I had a a Browning automatic rifle which was the machine gun of the time which I mean I don't know if you've ever heard it but that is loud so uh you know you just you would forget that you were on a movie set you know in a movie like this I mean things are shot in in fragments where you know explosives are going off timeing is everything you have to hit your marks what was the anxiety level like for you doing this um there really wasn't too much anxiety with that sort of stuff because you know they had such a great stunt team I mean we walked through every one of those stunts um beforehand and the timing was perfect so you never really had um there wasn't any fear that you were going to get hurt or anything like that you know you know you're of course are a writer director uh now you're working with stepen Spielberg I'm just wondering did you ever look at at the script and think you know I I like to change that line and were you a little hesitant about bringing anything like that up um no you know Stephen um was pretty open and and giving to us as actors as far as you know um dialogue would go certainly uh nobody was suggesting uh you know changing scenes um but if you had a line of dialogue that you w uncomfortable with or you thought you could do come up with something better he was he was open to hearing that and a lot of times during rehearsals he would say why don't you guys play with the scene a little bit and let's see what we come up with now what kind of surprises did you did you get working with him were there things that he did that really kind of threw you is his style uh didn't really throw me I mean I think the thing I sort of joke around that the one thing I learned from him is how little I know about film making watching the guy work is incredible he just knows so much about the process um I think he's probably set up every imaginable uh shot and camera angle so he's got all of that in his Encyclopedia of knowledge so he's kind watching him work with actors and with his crew it's amazing just you know how much knowledge he has this is really a benchmark in war films things here that uh have never been done before I'm just wondering when you were making it did you ever get a sense that you were a part of something special we all know I mean you all uh we all had the sense that this film uh had some historical significance um and that we were a part of something uh that was special and that was going to live on um you know probably forever I mean the day we wrapped um Tom Hanks pulled all of us uh aside with Captain Dale D who is the military advisor and he sort of uh gave us a little talk about how we were a part of something special and this film will live on long after we're gone and our grandkids are going to see this film and just uh you know how honored we all should feel to have been a part of it your relationship with uh other people who worked on the film uh two people the guy who ran the uh the rain machines uh a guy you came to hate um that sequence was pretty brutal but not so tough on me Vin Diesel the guy who get shot in that scene had a lay in in a puddle of rain for about 12 days so it was tougher on Vin uh than it was on the rest of us and the last thing the guys who who uh drove the tanks were those people you you want to get to know really well beforehand um yeah yeah well for I only have one scene where I'm kind of right up there at the front of the tank and at that point we've uh We've stuck the um the sticky bomb on it um so I was yeah I guess I don't know
