Soon, millions of people will see me and they'll all like me. I'll tell them about you, and your father, how good he was to us. It's a reason to get up in the morning. It's a reason to lose weight, to fit in the red dress.

It's a reason to smile. There were multiple auditions. I remember him calling me one time. It had to have been two in the morning, and I picked up the phone and was laying in bed, and I sat there pitching myself.

Once I got the role, I remember reading with a lot of people for other roles. Darren read with every actor in town for the part that eventually went to Jennifer. Watson: We had a lot of actors show up for that role. We were surprised at the response that we got. We had a session where Jared was already onboard, and we had Jennifer come in, because she wanted to do the film.

They did the scene, and she basically threw him around the room in the audition. And we were just like, wow. Leto: I think she threw a chair across the room. Jennifer Connelly, Marion Silver: I remember loving the script and feeling strongly about it. I found it moving. Devastating, but also really moving. I remember wanting so much to be part of it: I really want to fight for this one.

And it was a bit of a fight. She came in, and I was not expecting anything, and she left with the role. Marlon Wayans, Tyrone C. Love: I started out with the script and I was like, Oh, hell no. I read the script, I read the book, and as soon as I saw Pi , I knew what the movie would be.

Watson: [Wayans] had gone to the performing arts high school in New York. We knew that he had that background with him, and that capacity.

And in the auditions, he was able to show a lot of range and capacity to handle dramatic scenes. We had no fear about it. And he never really chose to do [drama] again, but he could have. I studied drama for four years every day. Aronofsky: I wanted to cast Dave Chappelle. So he passed. But I always felt like a comedian for that role would be great. Wayans: I slept in the same clothes, literally, for ten days. I barely washed.

I would talk like the character. My boys would come over to the house — Omar Epps was concerned, like, Are you okay? Marlon was in such a daze — it was one of those lots that has those nails if you go the wrong direction, and he tore out his tires on his car.

He came in and we ended up having more time together, because they were waiting for his car to get towed. The fact that he was from New York, from a neighborhood I knew well growing up — I felt that he could really connect to the character. I was channeling Tony Robbins, walking down the street, talking to people.

Aronofksy: All of the younger actors got there a month before or something. We even went to a nightclub — to Twilo or the Tunnel one night. I remember it only because in the middle of the night they turned on the lights. I guess they got raided by the police. Wayans: I sat with Darren and he explained the vision. This is stereotypical! Leto: I think rehearsal was eight weeks, which is very rare, that a director can wrangle actors for that amount of time. There were lots of read throughs and rehearsals but I think the big, most impactful part was the kind of, just the dive into character.

Aronofsky: Jared definitely has a very method technique, and he really wanted to dive into the world of addicts and stuff. Leto: I did whatever I thought I could do in order to bring more authenticity to the role, more honesty. More truth. So I spent time with a group of people in the East Village, many of whom are no longer alive — they lost their battles to addiction. They were very supportive and helpful and generous with their time and their experiences and there were nights that I spent basically homeless.

Connelly: I took to making a bunch of my own clothing and accessories. And I spent time meeting people my age who were on the streets and using, talking to them about their experiences. Wayans: We sat with addicts. We went to a clinic and talked about the effects of heroin. We did a lot of research. Darren took my shirt off and made me walk around the streets of New York in February because he wanted me to understand what it was like — what winter in New York was going to feel like even though he was filming in the summer.

I was like, Hey bro, I grew up in New York. I know how cold it is. I also thought that if I lost a lot of weight and was restricting my food intake, that would put me in a place of constant craving.

I thought that was a good place to be. Connelly: It manifests differently, that hunger. The lack of safety manifests differently for all of the characters and is expressed in different ways through different vices and specific addictions. I just tried to focus mostly on that sense of something missing. A lot of people can relate to that feeling. Jared is the opposite of me.

Jared is super-method. He stays in it the entire time. Not everybody gets skinny, not everybody gets emaciated. Aronofsky: I was just Jewish mothering [Leto], and trying to constantly feed him, just because I wanted him to have the energy to get through it. But he was healthy and young, and it must help create a space for him to feel free to do what he has to do. Matthew Libatique, director of photography: Marlon would literally be in the heaviest scene, and then cut and tell a joke.

Whereas Jared and Jennifer really, it was harder for them. They had to interact with each other and deal with themselves. Connelly: Our working relationship was good. It was at times slightly volatile — which I think was part of our characters and what they were going through at the time. It was sort of conveniently volatile during the volatile scenes, which was probably more of a reflection of our youth.

Watson: They approached acting from a different place. Jennifer was a classically trained film actress, and she really hit her stride around take five, six and seven.

Jared, he had had a lot more background in television, he hit his stride around take one, two, and three. And so trying to find that magical take four was all the thing we were doing. We shot it twice. Emotionally, Jared was really there between takes one and five, and Jennifer was better later. Because the actors needed a certain amount of time to be prepared for where they had to go.

Connelly: My son, Kai, was a baby at that time, and so I had him with me on set. He was with me every day. I was still nursing him. It was the beginning of having to learn to surrender to the moment and not hold on to something. In Requiem she plays Sara Goldfarb, an isolated widow whose cheery front masks depression, and who starts having amphetamine-induced hallucinations in her apartment. Burstyn performed solo or played against the television and a growling fridge as often as she did another cast member.

Aronofsky : I was terribly intimidated by Ellen. The first day bringing her out to Coney Island and the boardwalk and Brighton Beach — I remember I had a camera with me and I was scared to take pictures of her, even though I was about to shoot a movie on her. When Darren shot Pi , his mother was the caterer.

Seeing them and talking to them, I always wonder what the world would be like if everybody got to grow up with parents like that. She did have that Brooklyn accent, which was very helpful to me. I came in and talked to her every day so I could take up her intonation.

She was my coach. Watson: [Burstyn] was incredibly generous with teaching us. Probably the most generous with Darren, and trusting of him. And I think that was a two-way street for them.
