of spirituality and existentialism. It’s an intellectual puzzle that could have many interpretations, but one thing’s for sure: Reynolds is keeping his own opinions to himself. “I don’t want to give my take as to what was going on because I think the thrill of this film is that it is a question and it requires an answer of the audience and I think that’s what makes it really special,” he says. “That’s exactly why you do a movie like this—it’s incredibly rare. It’s rare to find something that’s just so off the deep end that it’s not relatable to anybody but at the same time it offered so many things: little peeks at Hollywood, the notion of a creator’s responsibility to his creation, and then it just felt like a really charming mystery as well.”

He does admit, however, that repeat viewings are probably necessary to allow the movie’s complexities to really sink in. “It’s kind of like a Russian doll,” he says. “It’s references within references within references. I’ve seen it three times and every time I see it I see something completely different.”

Making a film like The Nines can be a tricky process but Reynolds had complete faith in his director. “John and I became fast friends really quickly so I can’t say enough good things about him,” he says. “I get close to all my directors though. I feel like the film is a real directors’ medium and the times that I didn’t feel that way I realized I was clearly fooling myself. They are the gods of this medium and it helps to establish a friendship and a trust early on. It just makes it easier for me, for him, for everyone around us.”

Even after the film wrapped Reynolds and August traveled to Africa together to participate in a charity organization and do some good for needy children. “We went there to check out this orphanage called Fomo which is a woman who single handedly saved 3,000 kids,” Reynolds says. “We used whatever shred of fame we have to see if we could help her out. And we did. We spent a week painting a nursery and building bore holes. They don’t need us to do that. The point is to have us come there and be invested emotionally.”

Besides being rumored to play The Flash in the big-screen comic book adaptation (Reynolds claims it is still just a rumor for now), next up for Reynolds is a film called The Proposal co-starring Sandra Bullock. As his tastes shift as he gets older, so will Reynolds movie choices, but one thing’s for certain: he won’t have any regrets.

“What are you crazy?” he says. “I wouldn’t change a thing. Everything is an accumulative process to who we are now. If I removed all the strife or all the difficulty I’d probably be a very milk and water person.”
