Michael Douglas Interview:
We open the interview by asking Michael Douglas about his research for the role, and if he was a comic book fan growing up. Michael shared that along with the script he received a leather bound book with a full backstory on the characters in the Ant-Man comics. He mentioned his character, Hank Pym, had love loss and rocky relationship with his daughter, and there was a whole story to play once learning about it. I was invited to cover this press event. All opinions are mine alone. Q: With the technology in this movie, how is it different from anything you’ve ever done? Michael: “Well, I mean, one of the exciting things for me about doing this picture is I have never done a special effects movie before.” He mentioned being fascinated by the multi unit process of actors, stunts, special effects, and the macro unit. He adds, “but to see how they put four units together using the story boards was inspirational. I mean, how often too do you get to do a movie where you see yourself 30 years younger. It was wild.”
