The young actor Dane DeHaan is the protagonist on A Cure for Wellness alongside Mia Goth and directed by Gore Verbinski. According to Dean is was worth to work with the acclaimed director.<\/p>\n
An ambitious young executive, Lockhart, played by Dane DeHann, is sent to retrieve his company\u2019s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious \u201cwellness center\u201d at a remote location in the Swiss Alps. He soon suspects that the spa\u2019s miraculous treatments are not what they seem. When he begins to unravel its terrifying secrets, his sanity is tested, as he finds himself diagnosed with the same curious illness that keeps all the guests here longing for the cure. From Gore Verbinski, the visionary director of The Ring<\/em>, comes the new psychological thriller, A Cure For Wellness, in theaters today, February 17.<\/p>\n We sat down with this handsome actor and discussed the reasons why he wanted to be part of the project, working with Gore, and more.<\/p>\n Could you talk about the intense physical demands placed on you throughout the filming?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – It was really a month of torture when we filmed all the torture scenes in the movie. It was during the middle of the shoot. It was a long shoot. Gore takes his time shooting things. The isolation tank, that sequence took two weeks to shoot. I spent most of the time underwater, wearing a harness. I was bolted to the side, basically, to keep my body horizontal. I was breathing through an oxygen tube, so it was really intense.<\/p>\n Was that the worst part of it for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – It was pretty challenging but it\u2019s fun to be challenged in different ways. The sensory deprivation chamber was definitely the most physically challenging.<\/p>\n There\u2019s one particularly intense scene set in which your character is strapped into a dentist chair. What was that scene like?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – It was crazy but it also was kind of fast. We shot that in a day or two. That was more terrifying psychologically more than physically. It\u2019s a scene where I didn\u2019t know how I was going to react. I just ended up squealing like a pig and Gore seemed to be into that.<\/p>\n Did you fear dentists beforehand?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – Not really. I\u2019m pretty OK with dentists. When you first read the script, did you wonder where the story was heading?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – No, but that\u2019s what you look for. It was like a mystery because you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen next. It\u2019s a surprise until the very end. Gore told me he wanted to make a movie that was inspired by the great thrillers of the \u201870s. That was exciting to me. When I read it, it seemed more than that. It seems liked a wild, crazy original idea. It\u2019s definitely not the kind of movie I would have done with just any director but I felt Gore had a chance of pulling it off.<\/p>\n What 1970s thrillers inspired this film?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – The Shining, Rosemary\u2019s Baby, The Tenant, The Omen<\/em> \u2014those were the ones Gore had me watch before (we made) the movie. Rear Window<\/em>, which wasn\u2019t in the 1970s, but had a broken leg.<\/p>\n Had you seen Gore\u2019s The Ring<\/em>? Do you see similarities between this film and that?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – I\u2019d seen The Ring<\/em>. It\u2019s one of the reasons I thought Gore could pull this movie off. I knew he understood the genre.<\/p>\n What was your takeaway from this movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – The movie asks a lot of questions. It talks about the sickness in society and people\u2019s need to get richer and more powerful and not consider those around them in that pursuit. People that thrive in that environment think they\u2019re well. They\u2019re not. They\u2019re sick. That\u2019s the sickness and that\u2019s why they need a cure for their wellness. It\u2019s one of the reasons I feel Lockhart is a perfect protagonist for the story because he embodies that sickness. I liked all the questions that Gore throws in your face about wellness and the cure. Is the cure worse than the disease? Will a pill or a juice cleanse or whatever, why do people do this? And why are people always seeking out these cures? And not worrying about the side effects of them? They\u2019re just thinking about what they\u2019ll benefit from. Both of those things are interesting that the movie explores.<\/p>\n Did you think about your own relationship with wellness?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – It did. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve always thought about. In LA, there are so many people that are focused on being healthy that it\u2019s unhealthy. I lived in Los Angeles for 2-1\/2 years. I don\u2019t anymore. It certainly got me thinking about those things and the central theme of it and my life. That\u2019s one thing that\u2019s cool about the movie is that it makes you sit and think about these things and it lingers. And you realize the cure has side effects. That\u2019s another thing that\u2019s cool about it: it entertains and it terrifies but it also leaves you with this uneasy feeling where you\u2019re asking yourself a lot of deep questions that you didn\u2019t expect going into it.<\/p>\n You wear a cast and use crutches for 80 percent of the film? Was that a challenge for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – I grew to really love those things. I\u2019m not saying it was great to get into that cast every day but I grew to love it. I got really good on being on crutches. I saw it as a great tool because it\u2019s just another obstacle that\u2019s in my way. It helped make things more compelling and made my job easier. Running upstairs was more compelling if I had to do it on crutches. Gore would say to me, \u201cCan you do that faster?\u201d And I\u2019d say, \u201cNo, I can\u2019t. You put the character on crutches. I don\u2019t know what you want from me.\u201d That was definitely one of the challenges.<\/p>\n You shot part of the film at a German former military hospital. Was it creepy?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – Yeah. It\u2019s called Beelitz-Heilstatten and it\u2019s an old military hospital. I think Hitler was cured of polio in that hospital during World War I, so it has this dark history to it. They renovated it a lot for the movie but it definitely had a creepy energy. It was kind of a weird, creepy place.<\/p>\n Photo by 20th Century Fox<\/p><\/div>\n Your character gets lost in a hazy maze in a scene set in a sauna. What was it like filming that scene?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – That scene sums up Gore\u2019s visual style. In a lot of ways, I\u2019m trying to make his vision come to life. A lot of times you have to understand what he\u2019s trying to do in the shot and not just let things fly and not worry about my marks. That was an incredibly technical shot. We shot that towards the end of the shoot. Had we shot it towards the beginning, I think it would have been a lot harder. It was just all about hitting the marks and rehearsing it so I could pull off the performance. They were sliding walls.<\/p>\n What was it like working with your co-star Mia Goth?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – She\u2019s super-talented and serious and in it for all the right reasons. She was an easy person to act with. She always was there and listening and perfectly cast. It became about understanding what she means to Lockhart in the movie and then bringing it to life.<\/p>\n Is Jason Isaacs as intense in person as his character is onscreen?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – In a different way. He\u2019s an old pro. That thing he does he does so well.<\/p>\n The accident scene was intense. You\u2019re spinning around. <\/strong>.<\/p>\n What was the hardest scene to do?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – Not a day went by that was easy. It was five months and it was incredibly physically and psychologically demanding and it was like a marathon. Gore shoots in such a slow, methodical way that it took a lot of patience and perseverance. There were a lot of hard days. It was a tough shoot.<\/p>\n Having worked with Luc Besson in the upcoming sci-fi adventure Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets<\/em> and with Gore Verbinski on this, how are they similar and how are they different?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – They\u2019re pretty different. I made very different movies with them. There\u2019s something about this movie that\u2019s very contained and you can\u2019t miss a beat in it. It all revolves around, in a way, my performance, in that I\u2019m in almost every frame of the movie. The camera\u2019s right in front of me all the way through, and it\u2019s relying on that, whereas Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets<\/em> is like these intense worlds, everything all around you. There are insane amounts of visual stuff happening all the time. In a way, it\u2019s much more epic in scope. Nothing was practical, so it\u2019s hard to compare the two. But they were both fun to work with in different ways.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve played a number of villains in your career. Are you purposely steering away from villains or are you looking at working with specific people?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – It\u2019s just finding the most interesting stuff, the most different kinds of material, different genres and different kinds of parts and challenging myself in different ways because that\u2019s how I\u2019ll get better.<\/p>\n After The Amazing Spider-Man 2,<\/em> were there expectations about what would happen with the Harry Osborn character in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – Nothing\u2019s going to happen in the future. In a way, I feel like it gave me a career reboot. If I were still attached to that franchise, I\u2019d be playing the same guy in all these movies in basically a supporting role. And now I\u2019ve been given opportunities to make much original content and be in the lead role. I\u2019ll always be thankful for Spider-Man because if it weren\u2019t for that, I wouldn\u2019t be in this movie or in \u201cValerian.\u201d In a way, I\u2019ll always be thankful that they rebooted it because I could reboot too.<\/p>\n You\u2019ve been compared to Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio. How do you feel being labeled the next Leonardo DiCaprio?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dane – I\u2019ll be the next Leonardo DiCaprio, sure. I\u2019ll take that. There are worse things to be called. I hope so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The young actor Dane DeHaan is the protagonist on A Cure for Wellness alongside Mia Goth and directed by Gore Verbinski.
