“Daniel Isn’t Real,” which opens on Dec. 6 after premiering last spring as a Midnighters selection at SXSW, is an indie psychological thriller directed from Adam Egypt Mortimer. Schwarzenegger plays the alter ego character, which required him to dye his hair, don a wardrobe that was heavy on leather and darken his eyes with mascara.“It was the total opposite of who I am, obviously,” says Schwarzenegger, who was inspired to become an actor by visiting his dad’s movie sets when he was growing up.
What was your take on the character? I feel like the movie had echoes of “Fight Club.” I also thought of the ‘90s film “Drop Dead Fred,” which was a comedy, but had a similar conceit. We watched “Drop Dead Fred,” “Fight Club,” “Split,” “Jacob’s Ladder” — different elements of other movies that have kind of touched on this subject before. I think that Adam [the director] took a lot of inspiration from films like this, so I think that he’d be happy that you’re bringing them up. Daniel is this guy who is extremely menacing and a terrible person, and warps you into doing horrible things.
