I think we all kind of thought those would be the most fun, the fight scenes. And they were the most challenging. Physically exhausting and complicated and kind of very specific and intricate, so they just took a long time to film. I think that we all thought that we'd get to set, have a punch up and we'd get it on film and be wrapped, but it wasn't quite like that.

[There are several major fight scenes in the film, as Matt finds himself participating in an ever-escalating series of violent confrontations and Hunnam explained how much work went into these scenes.] It's really about trying to figure out how to make it look as messy and out of control as possible, while being absolutely in control. We really didn't have any casualties at all through the course of filming. A little nick and scratch here, but for the amount of volume of fighting that we did, it's pretty amazing how little... This is an amazing fight choreographer, actually an American guy came over called Pat Johnson. He was the number one guy in Chuck Norris' fight team and of 198 bare knuckle fights he had throughout his career, he won 196 in knockouts. So he was definitely very familiar with the world of fighting, but completely unfamiliar with the specific world of Hooligan fighting. So I spent a lot of time with him, and obviously Lexi did also, just watching all of the tapes of fights. And this was a huge challenge for him because there's nothing at all choreographed about these fights.

They did a casting call here at Paintball Command. They were originally going to film out here, but logistically, they couldn't put six acres of tents and trailers out here.

Because of the power of television, I was visible to everybody all over the world. But there are many things in the theater that are more fulfilling and that I look forward to doing more. But really, I love it all: theater, film, television.

I watched the film a couple of times and it was an average performance. I thought I was a little tentative at first. I think I was more nervous about being in the right spot instead of making something happen. There were a lot of things I could have done better: filling my gaps properly, taking a little more physical approach to the game.

He's always laying licks. A lot of times you don't even see him. Then you sit back and see him on film, and he's always laying licks. He gets his whole body into it. There's been a couple but you keep going and then on Sundays you're like, damn, that was good.

They're starting from scratch on defense, so we don't have any film of their personnel playing that defense. We do have an idea what they'll do, but we know we'll have to make some mid-game adjustments.

For me, shooting films and breaking into Hollywood are just like gambling. For an actor, good scripts, appropriate roles and good film crews are not that easy to find. I am so lucky to have had so many chances.

Everyone speaks their original language,.. It's really new. It's the first time a film with subtitles made number one in France. It shows the audiences aren't as stupid as some think. It's good news for cross-border films in Europe.

The events inspired characters that truly existed, as well as fictitious people I had to invent. Sometimes the harsh reality was too much, too absurd. This was the case with the story of the cat who roamed from one trench to another and in the film ended up being imprisoned. In reality, the tom cat was accused of spying and was arrested by the French army, and then shot according to regulations.

At the time it was making all these crazy short bits of entertainment, the things that ran between videos. They were just these wildly creative labs for people who had gone to art and film school. There were no rules and there were no clients; it was a really free and exciting environment.

I studied English Literature. I wasn't a very good student, but one thing I did get from it, while I was making films at the same time with the college film society, was that I started thinking about the narrative freedoms that authors had enjoyed for centuries and it seemed to me that filmmakers should enjoy those freedoms as well.

[The film's title star, Christian Bale, told me in June that he'd signed a multi-picture contract. When I caught up with] Batman Begins.. All I can tell you is, we're talking. There was quite an air of secrecy around the development of 'Batman Begins,' and there will be even more around the development of another film, if they move forward.

I didn't do a commentary on the DVD, which people were maybe surprised by. To be honest, my feeling is that commentaries are very tricky because I feel like the audience completes the film, and until a film gets out there you almost don't know exactly what it is that you've done. You have to do commentaries these days before the movie is even in theaters, so I wanted to hold off and instead just have them use the material that we generated during production to explain our intentions.

I wouldn't consider doing a Batman sequel unless I felt like it could be a great film, a film even better than the one we already made. But I certainly couldn't do another one on such a large scale right after having finished this one. I'm very glad to be doing something completely different.

[In addition to the excellent audio and video quality on the Begins DVD, it's also packed with a plethora of behind-the-scenes features.] I very much enjoyed all the material relating to how we made the film,.. I hope the fans enjoy it as well. I think our EPK crew and DVD guys were able to get an enormous amount of footage, and they really got a lot of the most interesting parts of the filmmaking process. As a movie fan, I just have always loved getting information about the ways that movies get made and I think there are a lot of people out there who feel the same way I do.
