Sam Rockwell — I’ve been meaning to ask how did you come up with that idea of drinking the soda when you get killed in The Town?
Jeremy Renner — That was something Ben [Affleck] saw on a real interrogation room surveillance tape where a guy was arrested for something. The guy’s being very quiet, and the detectives are trying to get some answers out of him and he wouldn’t answer anything. And then he asked for a soda and they gave him one. You don’t really hear anything on the tape but the detectives tell him to think for a minute and leave the room. As soon as they’re gone, the guy takes a sip of the soda, pulls a gun out a blasts his brains out. Ben thought that was such a strange thing, that he wanted a soda before he shot himself, so he put that in the movie.
Sam Rockwell — That’s so fucking awesome. I love that shit.
