The two actors recently connected on a video call to talk about the film and their friendship.
Q: What appealed to you, Chris, when you first read the script for ‘The Contractor’?
James is a composite of these stories, and yet these stories, in the beginning of the film, are ripped out from his spinal cord . He’s kicked to the ground, and he tries to reinvigorate himself with one of these same stories, only to find that it’s completely corrupted and malignant.Q: Ben, you joined the project just a few weeks before shooting started – what got you onboard?
We are the generation of the desert wars. My parents are the generation of Vietnam. And it shapes you. So the questions felt really important. Hopefully, it’s a Trojan Horse that through great action and fun sequences is grounded in some kind of reality could ask some of these questions of values. But I wouldn’t have done the film if we didn’t have 30 minutes in front of the action. This is the film I wanted to make, which was a character study wrapped up in an action thriller. If you don’t have the first 30 minutes of the film, I don’t know, like how many action sequences can you have in a film?
Pine: The reason why I called him, obviously I want Ben because I love Ben. I really liked making him laugh, because his seriousness reminds me of my own. It’s like playing with a side of myself.
