What were your conversations like with Eggers as you were going into this project and throughout the process?
How did he help you realize his book for the screen?Dave is the best collaborator on Earth.
He was a great partner throughout the entire process.
She has a college degree, but a job shes not passionate about.
An old college roommate throws her a lifeline and she gets a job at The Circle.
I think the central issues are about privacy and surveillance and not just the gadgets in the movie.
If you dont connect with them, if you dont care about them, its all a moot point.
She stands for a lot.
Shes a deep thinker, shes a challenging thinker, and shes a really great partner in the film.
I think Tom is completely aware of his persona and excited to have fun with it.
He was a big fan of Dave Eggers.
He was the first person we cast.
I think Tom also understands whats deeply funny in a dark, ironic way about the characters.
Patton Oswalt also is one of the Three Wise Men of The Circle.
He understands what makes a character like this tick…
He really serves the role well.
John Boyega, hes amazing.
Karen Gillan is also in it, who I loved onDoctor Who,Guardians of the Galaxy, andSelfie.
Shes a brilliant, hilarious, deeply moving actor.
Shes really the first person that we as an audience meet in The Circle.
Her humanity makes the place seem more humane and not just scary.
Where did you pull from, in terms of real-world and artistic references?
The trailer reminds me of so many modern tech companies Google, Facebook, Twitter, Apple, etc.
I think those films, we know them when we see them.
They have so much to offer.
They have so many resources.
They want to change the world.
Who doesnt want to change the world?
I think especially when you get technology involved, its ever evolving and changing every single day.
We dont know whats going to be five years from now.
We can speculate, but we dont quite know.
We already share so much about ourselves.
To me, that feels sort of tired.
We already asked that question, and I think its a moot point; theres no going back.
I think for young people its the only world that theyve known; theres no before.
When I was a kid, I did what I did and it was undocumented, except for polaroids.
Like my parents, I lived a private life.
I could screw up privately.
Thats just not an option.
Thats not part of the world.
If youre going to put a body camera on this person, why not that person?
Why not that person and that person and that person?
The film doesnt have a message as far as that goes a simple, easily digested message.
