Brad Pitt says he took an unusual step to protect the ending of Se7en.
He put it in his contract.
"When I signed on to do the film, I got in my contract that the ending had to stay."

Why?

He'd already seen a previous project change a controversial ending.
"I had experience on something before where something that was controversial got cut out."
"And to me, it was why we go to movies."

Sure enough, after filming, there was pressure to change Se7en's ending.
"There was this push... it would be much more likable if the dog's heads were in the box."

His response was immediate.
"Nope. Nope."

Without that contract clause, one of cinema's most unforgettable endings might never have made it to theaters.

Tom Holland says Spider-Man: Brand New Day was delayed so he could star in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

"I read the script. I was blown away."

Then he realized there was a problem.

Both movies were scheduled to start on the same day.

"We had to literally move Spider-Man. The start date was the same."

Holland says he called the studio and credits Sony executive Tom Rothman for making it happen.

"Without Tom, I wouldn't have been able to make this movie."

According to Holland, Sony made the rare decision to push back Spider-Man: Brand New Day so he could join Nolan's film.

"He literally moved Spider-Man so that I could be a part of this film."

Christopher Nolan says The Odyssey finished 9 days ahead of schedule for one unexpected reason.

The cast and crew had nothing left.
"We went in at 100 days."
"By day 91, we couldn't have taken another step."
"We were done."
"Everybody was done."

Despite the scale of the production, Nolan says the film wrapped early because everyone was completely exhausted.
"People were just exhausted."
"They'd been through it."
Looking back, he believes the limits actually helped the movie.
"Sometimes the limitations give everybody a real focus."
"So it took the right time to make the film."

Zendaya says she never expected to be part of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

At first, she thought it was just Tom Holland.
"Tom got the call."
"And my heart was just so full."
She says she was genuinely excited for him.
"He's the best, and he deserves this so much."

As a longtime Christopher Nolan fan, she never imagined she'd even get the chance.
"I got the Christopher Nolan script in my house."
"What am I going to do?"
"I was just so excited."

Zendaya says she wasn't expecting anything for herself.
"We already won."
"And I didn't even put myself in that equation at all."
Then she landed the role anyway.

Matt Damon says he avoids giving relationship advice for one simple reason.

"Everyone's relationship is different."

"It's tough to give relationship advice."

He says every relationship works differently.
"And you don't want to sound like a jackass."

Damon also believes it's dangerous to assume your own relationship has it all figured out.

"You don't want to take your own relationship for granted."
"I think you're asking for trouble down the road."

Instead, he lives by one piece of advice a friend gave him.
"Under promise, over deliver."
"And I decided a long time ago I'd rather be happy than right."

If there's one lesson he does stand behind, it's this:
"Communication is key."
"How quickly you can communicate is how quickly you can repair."

Matt Damon says Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey was so demanding that only one person visited the set in six months.

Ben Affleck.
"You were the only guest in six months of shooting."

Damon says the reason was simple.
"The workload was incredible."
"It was such an ambitious project that there was no time for anything else."

He called it the most demanding movie he's ever made.
"I've never worked on a film that required every single person to give maximum effort."

Then he put it into perspective.
"Every location on that movie would've been the hardest location on any other movie I'd ever done."
"And every day of work was harder than any day on any other movie I'd ever worked on."

Even Ben Affleck joked that it reminded him of when they were kids, calling each other to ask:
"So... what's it like shooting your movie?"

Tom Hardy says Venom's iconic voice started in the most unexpected place.

His dog.

"I used that voice for my dog when I'm doing impressions of my dog talking to me at home."

From there, he built the character by blending several influences.
"Busta Rhymes."
"Method Man."
"James Brown."
"A little bit of Richard Burton."

Hardy says Venom shares the same relentless optimism he sees in dogs.
"Hope springs eternally."
Even when the ideas are terrible.
"'Why don't we do X?'... and it's a horrendous idea."

For Hardy, that chaotic energy was exactly what made the voice feel right.
"That's perfect for Venom."

Kit Harington says filming a love scene with Sophie Turner was one of the most awkward parts of his career.

When he read the script, his first reaction was to call her.
"I was like, 'Sophie, there's a lot of us getting it on.'"

Why was it so uncomfortable?
Because of how close they'd become after years working together.
"She feels like my younger sister."
"I'm like, this is weird."

In the end, they got through it professionally.
"It was gross, but it was fine."
"It was great... that's how I sum that up."
