It breaks some rules with how its narrated and with these dream sequences.

The movie has got anEyes Wide Shutfeel where it takes you on this journey over one or two evenings.

Not knowing where the story was going was a huge draw for Crawford.

Theres big twists and its intense from the opening scene, he says.

Theres heavy stuff but it was fun for me to play.

You dont know whats real and whats a trip.

And any time I can have an excuse to shoot in New York City, I hop on it!

I loved the script, I love Kevin, and me and Grant got along right away.

Hes a very smart guy and it was sort of a no-brainer for me.

Its original, interesting, weird.

And it was a nice challenge, getting that lead main part.

Ive never really gotten to do that before.

But aside from the same filming locations, Crawford promises that Stan is nothing like Nate.

Its such a different role, he says with a laugh.

Theres room to do more.

you’re free to go to places in a film you cant go in an episodic thing.

You kind of are kept guessing where you dont know exactly what happens.

Stan is a writer and he moves to New York to live with his wealthy friend played by Kevin.
