00:00Welcome to Cutbank, Montana, where the Rockies meet the planes.
00:11You ain't heard?
00:12They murdered the mailman out there on Highway 358.
00:20Where's the mail?
00:22They kidnapped it.
00:23It's a good story, well told, with quite good characters.
00:28So you're really getting all that money?
00:30How much?
00:31A lifetime's sum.
00:34It's a really fascinating mixture of genres.
00:38You have the thriller, you have the Americana story.
00:41All I need is to see the mailman's dead body, and we are set.
00:47It's a kind of film noir.
00:48I'm onto you.
00:49Of all the places you can point a camera, you point it at a money-making crime.
00:55It's a movie about people, you know, and they're making fewer and fewer movies about
00:59people.
01:00You gotta be on point, stick to the plan.
01:04Once I heard about the cast, I was thoroughly excited.
01:07Billy and John and I all come from the same kind of idea about if it's not real, it's
01:13not good.
01:14I just love the language.
01:15I just love, you know, every character in the script has got so much depth and eccentricity,
01:20you know?
01:21I was told that this is the coldest town in the nation, and yet I'm sweating like a whore
01:26in church.
01:27Sheriff Vogel is a man who's lived in Cut Bank his entire life, and maybe on some level
01:34regrets that.
01:36Saline Towers gave you that damn thing the day she left town for good, and she wanted
01:41you to go with her, and you didn't.
01:43Having Bruce Dern here, who was someone I always admired when I was a kid, has been
01:50really fun.
01:51All the characters that I do come from a part of myself, and Georgie's a bit of a drip.
01:57Oh nice, well, let's just read each other's minds.
02:00It'd be pretty short for me to read yours.
02:04You don't have to go as far, but the door keeps, and you can go back a little bit.
02:07I like Matt very much.
02:09He's very enthusiastic, very driven, bright, knows what he wants, knows what he likes.
02:15He's such a sweet-natured guy, and so smart.
02:18He's a wonderful director.
02:19Yeah, I think Matt's a natural.
02:21He's very prepared.
02:22He knows what he wants.
02:23He's very thorough.
02:24And, action.
