    (On David Cronenberg)[He] has helped me do really good work, better than other directors. Maybe because he understands my process and because we have some things in common in terms of our sensibility – the kinds of books we like to read, our sense of humor is similar.
    \n It’s comforting to be working with someone you know will make a good movie. Some people will say, ‘Ahhh, he’s over the top, it’s gratuitous,’ [but] I disagree completely. He’s one of the most responsible filmmakers today as far as showing violence – which there’s very little of compared to other movies. It just stays with you because he shows very little of it. It just stays with you and he’s very direct about it. He shows you what happens, and what the consequences are physically and emotionally, in some cases; certainly he does in A History of Violence (2005), and also here [in Eastern Promises (2007)], that makes him very honest. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Eureka – Viggo’s new film with Jauja director Lisandro Alonso<\/a><\/p>\n

    The first part of the film, titled \u201cWestern\u201d and set on the U.S.-Mexico border, will have echos of Jauja but is not a sequel, following Mortensen playing a father named Murphy searching for his daughter (Agger), who has been kidnapped. The second part of the film, titled \u201cPine Ridge,\u201d is set in South Dakota on a Native American Reservation in the present-day. While there aren\u2019t details on Part 3 yet, Part 4, titled \u201cAmazonia,\u201d will follow a character named Ubirajara, \u201ca member of a far happier indigenous settlement in the Amazon who goes off to dig for gold, contracting, literally, gold fever.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
