Nothing will make sense to your American ears, and you will doubt everything that we do, but in the end you will understand.

The landscape needed to be a character and it says something about what we humans were doing against this beautiful landscape. Basically it was an aerial cinematographer and a pilot. They basically had one day to shoot. We storyboarded a certain number of aerials. Obviously, we needed aerials of the tunnel. We needed aerials of Manuel’s house. We needed the border, and we needed the plane stuff—with the jet taking off—to go with that sequence. Denis went on the helicopter one weekend on a Sunday and they shot a lot of different imagery.  A number of shots were just things that Denis [Villeneuve] found as they were flying. They flew from Albuquerque down to El Paso to shoot stuff on the border, and it was responding to actual things that they found. Some of those weren’t scouted beforehand. That’s quite often what you do in a film like that. Denis had done the same thing on Prisoners—just images that mean something by themselves, that link one thing with another

You should move to a small town, somewhere the rule of law still exists. You will not survive here. You are not a wolf, and this is a land of wolves now.
