I’m always shooting a film, prepping a film, posting a film. I just finished a film with Alejandro Iñárritu too, who did The Revenant and we’ll be coming out with that. That was an extraordinary experience and [Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie] and I are always working on several different films.”
