Dave Botista Most filmmakers were introduced as Drakes, the brutal but compassionate warrior of Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise. Since the decade, he has taken his share of the roles of the 007 entry “Spector” and “Dune”, but the 56 -year -old actor has also developed his tender side with a standout dramatic turn, a teacher “knocked into the cabin at the cabin” and an unprotected form “Glass Honor: Glass Honor:”
Now director Paul WS Anderson’s Post-Apocalliptic Foodle acting in Western “In lost land“For the actor, the role was again worth it.
“This is a new type of character for me. This is outside my comfort zone. He felt that calm, dark mysterious gunman, ”Botista tells DiversityBefore breaking in a smile. “I was never really a leading man of that kind, then there was an emphasis in this world where you were like Paul, ‘You’re going to be calm! You are going to be dark and mysterious! You’re sexy! And you’re not only going to get a girl, you will find every girl in the film!’
Read the complete conversation with Botista about “Lost Lands” below.
So much part of the film has been shared by AAP and Mill Jovovich together. How did you find him as a visual partner?
If I am a fan of someone with whom I am going to work, then I always find it more comfortable, just taking it out properly. You never know how people are going to react to it, but I wear my heart on my sleeve. I told him right with the bat, “This is a little nervous for me, because you are on a huge pedestal for me.” He was very easy about it. But there were more than some time where I was in the scene and I was so, “Holy dirt … fucking Milala Jovovich.”

Paul developed the look of Lost Lands in an unrealistic engine for more than a year before shooting. The digital world can then be prepared, presented and seen on the set via playback. How did he introduce you to that strange technical point of view?
This was not really a special conversation, just because we talked a lot about it. I did not really understand the technique, so Paul let me see it. He showed me what he was watching when we were doing the film. I am not looking at anything other than blue walls, but he is really looking at this world. This helped me get a vision what it was. It was very intimate. I had great actors and many practical things that were on the set, so I did not have to increase my imagination. They made it super easy for me.
You anchor the first shot of this film, which tells the audience in close-up. It is one of the many big spotlights you get in the film. Is there a special sequence on which you are the most proud of?
When I go back to the projects that I was a year ago, two years ago, six months ago, I see my performance and think, “I must have separated it, I would have done so.” I am proud of how far I have come. I am proud that I have become a better actor after every film I have done. I criticize people very well, because it rolls from my shoulder. They are not criticizing more difficult than criticizing me. I do not look back on films and think that I am especially proud of. But he is just me. This is a pressure that I have put on myself and it is growing as an actor.
After your career in professional wrestling, you came to screen in your late 3rd decade. It is understandable that you still appreciate that progress from performance to performance.
I guess my career with whom I am working with, even with wrestling. I can see back and say that I am really proud that I got to share the scene with Jodi Foster and Sir Ben Kingsley to share the scene with Jovovich. This is a sense of pride that I take and I am very open about it. Hell yes, I am proud of him. But as far as I and my performance-you will work hard to listen to me saying this, “Yes, I really proud that.”
“Lost Lands” is now playing in theaters.
