“I definitely got in better physical shape than I’ve ever been in my life. I had to be fit enough to pull it off, and I also had to learn to keep my balance and carry out a fight scene while jumping from surface to surface. In order to get it done, I couldn’t think of the floor being the floor and the ceiling being the ceiling. I had to think of it like, ‘This is the ground. Okay, now this is the ground. And now, this is the ground.’ It was just that the ‘ground’ was always moving under me. That was the mind game I had to play to make it work. That was also the most fun because no one else was controlling me; it was up to me to keep my balance. But the wires were a different story. Gravity and I went head-to-head a lot in this movie. But I loved it. I got to fly, which—I don’t think I’m alone in saying—has always been a dream of mine.”
- Joseph Gordon-Levitt [ Arthur ]
