Pratt could relate to some aspects of his character’s life personally, especially in a world where a lot of things are done for you.ĬHRIS PRATT: It’s a big part of who the character is. Yet, it’s so hard and so complicated.Ĭhris Pratt’s character is a working-class guy who decides to give up his life on Earth to help start a new civilization. I was blown away every time we had Arthur on set because it seems so effortless. Then, performing and giving this beautiful level of humanity and also being non-human at the same time, which is amazing. I mean, just try and pour a glass without looking at it. He’s at the edge of the bar, having to pour drinks very fast while being swooshed around on a machine, and he makes it look like the most natural thing. TYLDUM: The whole aspect of what Michael is doing is incredible. It was a cocktail of water and olives - just space juice mixed with a little bit of guava juice. Then, I was given the green tights, which I had to wear at all times. I thought I’m going to look fairly spiffy as I walk on in my costume.

SPAIHTS: There is a wonderful and terrible scene in the middle of the movie where the relationship between Jim and Aurora suddenly changes. There is one scene Spaihts hopes audiences will love the most. When he ended up scoring the film, it was like a dream come true. Thomas Newman was my go-to mood music for writing the film.
