Tom Hiddleston in an interview with HELLO! told about work in the film "Vysotka"

Most recently, the thriller "Vysotka" was released, in which Tom Hiddleston played one of the roles. The other day he told the magazine HELLO! About how the shooting took place, and what he went through to prepare himself for work in this tape.

Interview with the glossy HELLO!

To begin with, Tom told a little about what the "Vysotka" storyline in general is: "The film begins with the arrival of a new tenant on the 25th floor, physiologist Dr. Lang. It would seem that everything is fine, but there is one nuance: the inhabitants of the house can not leave it, and therefore slowly go insane. In the film, the viewer will see treason, depression, aggression, cruelty and much more. Life turns into utter chaos, which can not be stopped. "

"My character is a specialist who studies the anatomy of the brain and the behavior of people. He is single, attractive and intelligent. I ended up in this house because I want to run away from the past and start living anew, "Hiddleston continued his story. Then the actor told how he was preparing to work in this picture: "To understand what kind of profession this physiologist is, I went on a rather desperate step: I went to the clinic and personally observed the autopsy. Frankly, this shocked me. I could not be a doctor and use a scalpel. In addition, I read the book "Vysotka", written by James Ballard. I wanted to get deeper into the problems that my character will face. "

Most recently it became known that the director of the painting resorted to an unusual step: the actors, like their characters, for a long time were in a closed space, they simply did not release from the set. Tom said that he thinks about this: "We really were locked up there. But I have no complaints about the director. He wanted us to see how the rooms of our heroes are furnished and felt their character from the inside. First we made the apartment of Charlotte, the heroine of Siena Miller. It was furnished in a Moroccan style. Then there was the producer's room for Wilder, played by Luc Evans. There were plants, children's toys, balloons, etc. But I liked my room most of all: there was nothing more than boxes and cellophane in it. On the set of this picture I realized my childhood dream: to get stained in paint from head to foot. And, as you will see, I did it very well. "
