Vincent, your character definitely seems to talk the director talk, is there anyone in particular that you studied for your part?

Vincent Cassel: Yes but it’s not Darren (laughs). Maybe on some levels. When I was much younger I had the opportunity to be really close to a man called Michael Bennett, who was the director of Chorus Line, Dreamgirls, Ballroom, he was actually one of the biggest Broadway directors ever and a good friend of the family. My father actually had a part in one of his plays ‘Chorus Line’, in London. So I have seen him work with the dancers, and he was really close to what I’m doing in the movie. Meaning that he was a jerk with the dances, but it was only to get them where he wanted them to go. However he was gay and that’s a pretty big difference because my character is not gay at all, he uses his sexuality to direct the dancers. He’s actually using his sexuality to direct his dancers, so it was a different take. But it’s very much about this guy. It’s a mix of lots of guys. These guys move like they rule the world, at least in the ballet industry.
