At 30,000 feet on an airplane, there aren't too many places you can hide. Especially, when the person you're trying to hide from is sitting right next to you. Cillian Murphy (pronounced 'kill'ian,' he's very sensitive about that) and Rachel McAdams star in the thriller Red Eye.

On a flight from Dallas to Miami, Rachel discovers she's the only one who can save her father as well as the director of Homeland Security from dying. Cillian is in charge of a plot to murder them both.

Red Eye is directed by Wes Craven; both Rachel and Cillian said being in a Craven film was definitely an attraction for them to sign the papers:

Cillian Murphy: "It was a compelling script, I read it very quickly, I thought the premise was so strong and I thought 'How the hell are they going to write themselves out of this.' It was Wes' participation in the film, he speaks that language in terms of action and suspense; he knows how to manipulate an audience wonderfully. You come out of a Wes Craven film altered. He knows, he just knows. You know those moves he does with the camera, he knows. So it wasn't significantly different. We sat on a plane for the majority of the thing and it rested on the shoulders of the actors and performers in it."

Cillian also says what part appealed to him to play this role:

Cillian Murphy: You judge it on the script always on the script and then obviously on the director and then on the people in the film with you so all of those factor (sic) in this (film) made it a very appealing prospect, and yeah it represented something completely different from what I've every done before and I've always insisted on that in my career. You do things different from the last time so you keep (sic) interesting for yourself and you challenge yourself and you grow and you learn as an actor.

Rachel was a little more intrigued by Wes' style:

Rachel McAdams: "He's very good natured, very quiet, and has a wonderfully wicked sense of hour and you have to listen really closely to hear it. But he's so clever, so witty, and he brings that to his films, which I love, because they're so heavy and so dark sometimes, and then he throws in these twists of horror; it's just such a nice opposition."

Cillian Murphy: Well he obviously scared the shit out of me as a kid watching those movies growing up but I wasn't a big horror fan but yeah obviously he's the master at that.

As per Cillian he takes projects by scripts and directors but what makes a good director?

Cillian Murphy: When they make you feel safe cause they have a vision for the movie and within that vision then you work and collaborate and perform the character. I've worked with many first time directors and its (sic) great but when (sic) work (sic) somebody like Neil Jordan or somebody like Ken Loach you know these guys are fluent in the language of film and very articulate in the language of film so you can completely trust in their call and their decisions.

It wasn't hard for Cillian to get into character. There was no back-story for the person he plays, so it was up to Cillian to develop one while shooting:

Cillian Murphy: "Sociopath is a word now that has sort of become shorthand for psychopath and there's a distinct difference, it's interesting if you look it up. Sociopath if you look at the medical definition, the profile of a sociopath is that they are supremely intelligent people that are also pathological liars, they have no moral structure and there is one more, they have no compassion or empathy for other people. So that was an interesting thing, I didn't want to throw that word around too much because people don't understand what it means, but I looked at it objectively. The whole professional thing was what I went back to, that was his job, that is his object. He is requesting she makes a phone call and she declines that request. Then he has to find another way of achieving goal and that's the way you have to look at it."

Rachel was glad Cillian was her co-star because even his non-verbal actions enhanced the film:

Rachel McAdams: "He's an incredible, incredible actor and has such a great sense of humor. It was quite an intense piece for us on that plane for that amount of time and being at odds with one another. So when the camera was off, he was just so lovely, such a gentleman, and as soon as the camera was on he was convincingly terrifying to make my job easier; there's a real sense of danger in the air when he's acting and that's great to connect to. He's also an incredible physical actor so I learned so much. He's really great at getting shot and being wounded and falling on the floor and bullets ricocheting off his shoulders and he's just an incredible physical actor so I learned a lot about that. And I loved the action; I would love to do more, it was just so great to get off that plane. I just felt like I was being shot out of a cannon and I just was free to run and fight back."

Cillian also filled us in on what he might be doing next including the next Batman film; of course, he played The Scarecrow in Batman Begins:

Cillian Murphy: "I'd love to if they do another Batman. I guess it has to hit certain figures. They have options on us, yeah. But, I mean all that stuff is industry stuff I don't really think about. I also shot a movie called Breakfast on Pluto with Neal Jordan; he's a true visionary. I know people use that word a lot now a day (sic), but the man is. I put my heart and soul into that role; I think one of those only comes around once in every career, that type of role. I play a character called Kitten Brady (sic); everyone knows he’s a transvestite, but it's not the whole story. It's set back in the 70's (sic), based on a book by Pat McCain (sic) who wrote The Butcher Boy which is another movie Neal directed so it's kind of very visual. There's an amazing cast with it—Liam Neeson, Brendan Gleeson, Stephen Rea so I'm really excited about that film; it comes out here in November and then NY in January."

Rachel's actually taking a break for a little while from the Hollywood scene; she'll star in The Family Stone in November. But after that, maybe a cartoon superhero:

Rachel McAdams: "Ah, Thundercats was on this morning! There's a DVD box set out; I would love to play Cheetara. I haven't heard anything about an actual movie, but let me know! I'm so into graphic novels lately. I should look for one; some of them are quite romantic, like they make these really beautiful comic novels—Craig Thompson and I love Daniel Kraus, he's so dark and twisted."
