Going With The Minority

Former Ballykissangel star Colin Farrell is a very happy man. Not only did he rock the screen in last year's Vietnam film, Tigerland, he's soon to be seen with Bruce Willis in Hart's War and heading up Joel Schumacher's Phone Booth. Oh yes, and he's in a little film by Steven Spielberg called Minority Report. "I grew up with Top Gun. I bawled my eyes out at E.T. when I was about five years old. So to work with Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg was just a gem," Farrell told Sci-Fi Wire. "And I got to work with Max von Sydow. How much of a fucking legend is that dude?" The Dublin-born actor star finds himself hunting Cruise in the sci-fi thriller, after - in keeping with the future legal system - his co-star is convicted of a crime he has yet to commit. By far the biggest production he has worked on, Farrell was clearly taken with the scale of Spielberg's project. "You walk into what looks like a warehouse that might have some food being stored in it, but it's got all these apartments and headquarters and LCD screens and gadgetry. It was amazing." "The car that Lexus designed [for the film] was this prototype thing that cost a fucking pile of money to make, and it was electrically run. It looks like something out of Blade Runner, and I got to drive it. It was huge. It was a great experience. It was... I was going to say it was like being in the movies."
