 The other scene is a climactic gun battle that takes place mid-air...after Mr. Smith has willingly jumped out of a plane without a parachute. Naturally, it was done with wire work and green screen, the second of which is a technique that Owen is all too familiar with after the highly stylized Sin City. "That was all green screen," he says of that film. "I mean, there was nothing there at all. Even the car was taken out. You're just acting in limbo land with other actors. Robert [Rodriguez, the director] told me what he was intending: 'I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that.' Cut to nine months later, I'm in L.A. watching the film.

He's asked what made him turn the role down. "Not getting offered it," he says simply. They didn't even offer it? But...all those tabloid reports, all those rumors! "That was the talk, but it was never a real thing. Nobody ever put it in front of me, it was never offered to me. And I signed on to do a whole variety of other things." Up next for Owen is The International, which, quite appropriately, is an international thriller. "[It's] a really fantastic script with Naomi Watts that Tom Tykwer is going to direct," Owen says. "We're just prepping it now, I'm going to Berlin tonight to start prep." Other than that, his main priority is to spend time with ... |
