We chat with Inside star Willem Dafoe about his sleek new psychological thriller, and how he gets into the mindset of art thief Nemo, who is trapped inside a penthouse in the middle of a job gone wrong:
An art thief enters a luxe penthouse filled with high-end art pieces he's meant to steal, there's just one problem - he can't leave. In Inside, Willem Dafoe stars as Nemo, the aforementioned art thief who finds himself stuck inside a cavernous and contemporary penthouse at the top of one of New York City's tallest buildings. Abandoned by his partner-in-crime, Nemo must figure out how to survive when he realizes just how stuck he really is.
Willem Dafoe On Inside Screen Rant: Inside starts off with the question, what are the three things you'd save in a fire? Nemo regrets his answer, but assuming spouse, kids, and pets are saf, what are the three things that you would save in a fire? Willem Dafoe: You're on what everyone else is on [laughs]. I don't have a good answer. It's not in my imagination. Willem Dafoe: Because, first of all, I'll be pissed if my house is on fire.
Willem Dafoe: You know, I'm not sure they go mad. Or at least in Inside, I don't think the guy goes mad. He's forced into a situation where he has to deal with himself. Which some people would call madness, but some other people would call, you know, well overdue, and a healthy thing, and not easy. I want to be transformed by having an experience. And you don't require that from everything, but that's sort of what you're looking for. And sometimes you want to go away from that. But that's kind of the thing I keep on returning to Dafoe: No. You know, don't brag. But when the camera goes away, when the situation goes away... The character comes out of the situation [and] comes out of the support of all these things. That's when it comes out of you.
