Worst first day of shooting ever?
On the first day of filming, Cronenberg witnessed the deaths of two women who had been rubbernecking from a highway. "They slowed down, and the guy behind them didn't. The man's car went straight over theirs. My grip jumped over the fence and pulled the women out of the car, but they were dead, and that was our first day of shooting. I thought if I could survive that, I could survive anything."
The empires of the future will be empires of the mind.
