Production notes 1/11/2022

Actor Peter Dinklage discusses Cyrano

“Nothing’s changed about love.  Love might get you into trouble, but it should always be your guide. Cyrano is trying to tell you that what is love but honesty, being honest with someone; you owe them that if you really love them.”

Actress Haley Bennett discusses Cyrano

“Cyrano immerses audience members in a luscious and transporting experience, an epic love story. It’s also a relatable story about people — with flaws — who want to be seen and be heard.”

Actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. discusses Cyrano

“We write about or talk about love, but actions speak louder than words. For where we’re at in the world right now, Cyrano has a message that is still true today.”

Producer Eric Fellner discusses Cyrano

“I hope that the movie gives people an opportunity to lose themselves in a world they’ve never been to before, and to experience joy and love in a way that people have missed.”

Costume designer Massimo Cantini Parrini discusses Cyrano

“Cyrano should be viewed on a big screen in a theater because of the beauty that it depicts and conveys; you can enter into the story and be part of it, especially with the unique music.”

Screenwriter Erica Schmidt discusses Cyrano 

“Singing about love and heartache with big romantic yearning continues to feel relevant as the world continues to change.”

Director Joe Wright discusses Cyrano

“I hope that the viewer will receive my love through this movie, and I tried to make a movie that is devoid of cynicism or irony. Cyrano is a love letter to love.”

Peter Dinklage discusses "Cyrano" and filming near an active volcano (Interview 2/17/2022)

"Everybody knows that feeling...people who are physically different or whatever that would set us apart.  We all struggle with this.  Cyrano has a sense of humor about himself but at the same time, his Achilles heel is this thing with Roxanne.  He doesn't really fully believe he can be loved by her." 

"On filming near an active volcano...The whole sky was glowing red.  Normally, when you see that in a volcano you go away from it. We drove towards it every day.  This is silly...The locals are like 'she angry today, but she's all right.  She's a little upset but she'll be Ok. That's spewing lava...you got to worry about the earthquakes, not the lava.  Lava goes very slow. We'll have time to evacuate. Worry about the earthquakes. What are you going to get upset about a volcano?'  There's so much patience in that country. It's part of life."
