Colin Farrell plays an alien in his Apple TV series, “Sugar,” but does he believe they actually exist?
“Do I believe in sentient beings from distant lands, or distant ethers, celestial things that we may not be able to comprehend with our limited minds, exist? Yeah, of course,” Farrell says. “I have a feeling they probably know of our existence and they probably visited us and may move amongst us, man, may move amongst us in all sorts of…I wouldn’t like to think nefarious ways, but maybe I’m idealistic and if I am, that’s OK.”
I caught up with Farrell Wednesday night at the “Sugar” Season 2 premiere at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
“Sugar” is not only set in Los Angeles, but the series shoots in the city. As Variety’s Gene Maddaus reports in the most recent issue of the magazine, L.A. continues to struggle attracting productions.
“It was magic to shoot here and look it’s very uncommon for a show or a picture to shoot in L.A. because it’s not cheap and the tax breaks suck,” Farrell said. “It’s amazing to be able to do it here. Everyone was able to stay home with their families and just go to work and kill it. There are great crews here. You won’t find better technical and craftspeople.”
