Quote: David Cronenberg seduces Viggo

[wowie]

"Cronenberg flew from Toronto to Los Angeles to meet Mortensen during the casting of A History Of Violence “because I had to seduce him to do the movie and it had to be in person. You can’t do that over the phone. Once we had the discussion, he was talking about it like he was doing the movie, even before the deal was made. And he never wavered from that. He’s fantastic. We had the best time. He is a complete collaborator.”
