PS: The movie is set in London, but centers around the US Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Did you know a lot about America in the ‘60s before you made this film, or was it something you studied up on once you signed on?
RG: I went through a period of time when I was obsessed with the moon landing and especially the conspiracy theories [which speculated that it was fake]. Obviously I believe that we definitely did go to the moon, but it's quite an interesting alternative. We had a full moon set, and I was surprised by how easy it was to re-create everything. If it was that easy to do in our film . . . it could have been very possible to do back then.
PS: You might be on to something. What was it like to work with Ron Perlman? He seems like he'd be so intimidating.
RG: It was terrifying. [Laughs] I was so intimidated and nervous to meet him — he's Hellboy! But he was so sweet, so much fun, and so funny. You don't equate him with comedy, but he's hilarious. The scene of our characters tripping on acid took us hours to get through. We couldn't hold it together.
