“Very calm [movie]. You know, I’ve been to a lot of the places in the film, like, whenever I’m in Tokyo, I go to the Park Hyatt, which is in the film a lot of it takes place in a bar at the top of this hotel. [It] has a magnificent view of Tokyo. And I go there every time I’m there and go up there and have a non-alcoholic beer and just look out a Tokyo and think about Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson. It’s a beautiful film.”
