DESCRIPTION

Paul Bettany has always been a reliable character actor and he puts his talent to good use in the new sci-fi thriller “Transcendence.” He stars as Max Waters, the family friend of the couple played by Johnny Depp and Rebecca Hall. He’s a pro-technology who warns about society’s reliance on computers.

In this interview, we talked about his interest in making the movie, his character’s unrequited love for Hall’s Evelyn, and the film’s 1950s paranoia feel.
