- He said he repeatedly failed to deliver the line, “I’m sure you’ve all grasped the fundamental paradox of pre-crime methodology,” ultimately needing 46 takes.
- An assistant director told him he couldn’t go to set as he was, after which Farrell asked for beers and cigarettes before attempting the scene.
- Farrell said Tom Cruise was displeased during the shoot and added that he entered rehab about two years later and is now sober.
- Media outlets are amplifying Farrell’s account from the interview during his current film promotion, with no new comment from Cruise or the production.
