The Adam Project: Ryan Reynolds & Shawn Levy Talk Spoilers, Filming Key Scenes

The following contains spoilers for The Adam Project.

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.

But let me back up a second.

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. While I already posted the spoiler-free section where they shared some great stories about making The Adam Project, balancing all the different tones, what it’s like making a movie at Netflix versus the legacy studios, what they learned from test screenings, and so much more…I held back all the spoiler talk.

In today’s installment, Reynolds and Levy reveal how the Face/Off joke happened (it’s when Mark Ruffalo is first seen teaching in front of the classroom), what it was like filming the bar scene between Jennifer Garner and Reynolds and why the scene means so much to him, how Levy used the camera to help the audience get emotionally closer, and filming Zoe Saldana’s awesome introduction where she kicks ass while Led Zeppelin is playing. In addition, we talked about Saldana’s death scene and the way she plays so many emotions, Reynolds’ reaction in the truck driving away, how they came up with some of the great dialogue that Walker Scobell delivers, and how they came up with the ending of the three of them playing catch.

Since I know some of you like watching video, while others prefer reading, I’m offering this two ways: you can either watch what they had to say in the player above or read the transcript below.
