"People do ask me, 'Why were you drawn to this? You're not a guy who does these kinds of things,'" Stiller says. "I get asked that about Severance, 'You're funny. Be funny.' I get it. But I don't analyze it. In my mind it made total sense. Maybe it's something ingrained in me from the movies I watched as a kid that had a big effect on me, and there was a wide range. There were the crazy disaster movies, like The Poseidon Adventure. Or Jaws. Or sci-fi movies in a weird dystopia, like Planet of the Apes. All of those I loved. There was a human quality about all of them, but in a disconnected world. There are human desires and human emotions that are there no matter what, and people figure out a way to fight through barriers. People figure out a way to connect." |
