There’s one scene in Legends where Tristan’s coming back from the war and he drives the horses over the hill and they drive them into the corral. And so hair and makeup would go, “Oh, please be careful,” and “Just make sure you’re staying out of the shot.” So they’d set me up with a walkie-talkie to go ride. There would be so many times when I would have a break and I fell in with the horse wranglers. But just the land is extraordinary.ĪVC: How long were you out there?

It was this very deliberate scripting of a bizarre mix of Greek tragedy meets soap meets cowboy film. But there’s something when you see it cut together.

And it was sort of like, “No, I cried on Friday and setting the scene and then I’m tearing up today. As actors, I remember one night we were sitting around the fireplace negotiating who was going to tear up in the next scene. So if you can imagine how much crying there is in a two-hour movie, it’s so scary at the time. And then at the end of the day, it’s two hours long. You work on something for months and months and months. I think when you’re making a movie, it all feels extended. It was extraordinary, not just from Brad, but from Ed, and I thought at the end of the day, just the most extraordinary edit on it. And I think Brad, from a leadership perspective, just really helped in terms of what you gave off camera and where to stand. What I remember most about Legends, there was the most extraordinary camaraderie between the actors. And there were horses in the barn, and it was just idyllic. I left my East End flat in London and went to this absolutely extraordinary Native American reservation. And it was just an extraordinary first movie to come into an industry on. The A.V Club: That was your first big American production, right? Julia Ormond: Legends was really my first American film.
