Here’s our spoiler-filled TheAdamProject interview with VancityReynolds & ShawnLevyDirect. They broke down filming key scenes, how that ‘Face/Off’ joke happened, and discussed the ending. Do NOT read or watch unless you’ve seen the netflix movie.
Before we go any further in my exclusive interview with Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy for The Adam Project, just know Levy suggested using “Ryan Reynolds Husk Fucks the Space Time Continuum” as the headline. Trust me, as you get further in this interview, that suggestion will make sense.Before The Adam Project started streaming on Netflix, I was able to conduct an extended and wide-ranging interview with Reynolds and Levy for their fantastic new movie.
COLLIDER: I'm going to jump into spoilers now, and I have some questions. So I love the Face/Off joke in the movie. I want to know, could you talk about how that joke came about? The idea that we tell ourselves stories about parents or stories about people to adjust to the narrative we have about ourselves, or to explain the narrative we have about ourselves. That narrative isn't always true. The story that we tell ourselves isn't always true. And I like that that happens. But you know the line, boys always come back for their mamas, is a real line. That's something that we've said to my mom, my brothers and I, when my dad died. We showed up for her.
Zoe is fantastic in the movie, and I love her introduction. She comes into some badass music. She kicks a tremendous amount of ass. I love the scene so much. Can you talk about how you guys decided that was going to be the introduction to the character and how you picked the song? Another scene that I think is so good is Zoe… These are very specific things, but basically when Zoe is killed, her reaction on her face is so fucking good because you are seeing everything play out all on her face. And then, you also have Ryan, to commend you, when you’re driving away, your emotion in the truck. These are really great performances. Shawn, can you talk about-
He's willing to basically just destroy the fabric of the universe to be with his wife. That does not make him a hero. That makes him just genuinely the world's most irresponsible human being. So I think in that moment, he's feeling the weight of this, this moment that I came back for this person who is so much smarter than me and she understands the significance and the gravity of what we've done here. And all of that was for not. I'm about to lose her anyway.
REYNOLDS: All I had to do literally is just look at Mark and feel everything, every unrequited moment I've ever had with my own father in real life. Truly, I felt so lucky to be working with someone like Mark Ruffalo, who is as good, if not better than everyone already knows him to be. And then the catch stuff, that's all for me is incredibly resonant. That is how I connected with my father.
