00:03 What's going on?

00:04 Someone's trying to kill us.

00:05 We are trying to kill them.

00:07 You don't know what side they're fighting for.

00:09 I'm Alex Goland, the writer/director of "Cyborg."

00:14 It's a war film in the apocalypse now mode,

00:17 a graph of ramping adrenaline and intensity

00:20 leading to an invasion of Washington, DC

00:23 the journalists are embedded with.

00:26 They're risking their lives to show the world what happened.

00:29 When you're a war photojournalist,

00:31 that's your job.

00:32 Whatever that takes, she's willing to risk her life.

00:36 It's serious, and it's dangerous.

00:38 But in some ways, it's a road trip movie.

00:39 Whilst it's tracking the cross-country through war

00:43 as they make their way towards DC,

00:45 it's also tracking the relationships.

00:49 I'm worried about that girl, and I'm worried about you, too.

00:52 The whole group is at risk because you don't

00:54 know what you're going to face.

00:56 There's no GPS.

00:57 Everything's down.

00:58 No one can use cell phones.

01:00 They're taking the back roads to stay off major highways.

01:04 The United States are vaporizing.

01:06 Every day we're given this very hardcore scenario.

01:12 The way that Alex shot it was really intelligent

01:18 because he didn't do it in a traditional style.

01:21 The cameras were almost invisible to us.

01:23 It felt immersive, and it felt incredibly real,

01:26 and it was chilling.

01:28 Go, go, go!

01:29 When I read the script, like, this is no ordinary thing.

01:33 Having found the guy who directed

01:34 "X-Men, Arkham Annihilation," I really

01:37 think that Alex is brilliant.

01:39 It doesn't mind you.

01:41 That's how I felt reading the script.

01:42 It was like nothing I'd ever read before.

01:45 I was trying to make people participate

01:47 in the movie imaginatively rather than sit back

01:49 and have it happen to them.

01:52 It shook me when I first saw it to my core,

01:55 but also I thought it was very moving.

01:58 It's a hell of a story, and it's a hell of an experience.

02:02 Alex!

02:03 Get over here!

02:04 Now!
