(laughter)
- By blow-up doll, he meant me.
(laughter)
(exciting music)
- Are you having a nice day today?
- I am.
I had a 13-hour flight yesterday from Germany,
so I was a little bit exhausted,
but now I'm fine.
- And are you going back right after this?
- Yes, I am.
- All the way here for us.
- Christian Wolff.
- Come in.
- Christian Wolff last year,
ran $75,543 through his accounting firm.
- Whoa, who is Christian Wolff?
- Who is Christian Wolff?
Well, he's an accountant.
(laughter)
- Uh oh.
- Oh, do we stop there?
- I'm sorry, it's been a long.
- [Woman] No, that's fine.
- It's been a long day.
You brought a certain energy to this.
- You did you brought it.
- Like the molecules seemed to shift when you said that.
- I love that.
(laughter)
- I mean, on the surface, he's an accountant.
- Yeah.
- And we discover that he leads a secret life.
And I don't wanna,
there's a lot of spoilers that I don't wanna
give away in the film and he has Asperger's.
So he's on the spectrum, the autism spectrum.
And we explore that through his life.
- I really liked that the story
and the whole movie felt very unconventional.
Was that also what drew you to the project?
- Yeah, it was an original, you know?
It was really an original idea,
and an original piece of writing,
and it was unique in that way.
And that alone was really refreshing to see,
not to mention the fact that it was really well executed.
- [Voiceover] This guy risks his life on cooking the books
for some of the scariest people on the planet.
Drug cartels, arms brokers, money launderers, assassins.
Who survives this kind of clientele?
Imagine the secrets this guy has.
- What are you doing in here?
- What I thought was really fascinating about this movie
was that it was so dark and brutal,
and then the next second I had to laugh out loud
because it was so funny.
How important was that balance for you?
- It was crucial.
That was part of the marching orders for me in the film
was the balance and the tone of the intensity when
the scenes were asking for that
and also to find the lightness, the warmth, the humor,
all those things when it was honest and organic to a scene.
- This is where you live?
- No, I don't live here.
This is a storage unit, that would be weird.
- That's what would be weird?
- I just spend more time here
whenever I'm afraid some of my clients might follow me.
- Why would your clients follow you?
You're an accountant.
- Ben, would you say that the accountant
could be considered as some sort of super or anti hero
because he seems invincible.
- Well, there's a heroic aspect to the movie, for certain.
What he has, ultimately what you find out about
the character, but to me, what I really like
about it is that it's a hero who is different.
You know, is differently abled
and has a whole different circumstance in his life.
And it's sort of about celebrating that
and seeing a different kind of hero as a champion.
Everything in the world that is important to me
is in this trailer.
And right now, changing my routine for you
is jeopardizing that.
- If you guys had a trailer like Christian Wolff
does in the movie, nobody knows of it
and he stores all his precious things in there,
what would you keep in there?
- The same thing.
Machine guns and bars of gold.
Isn't that funny.
This is just like my house.
- And passports.
- And multiple passports, yeah.
- And all the illegal paintings and things you guys have?
- Yes, I'd keep my stolen art there, for sure.
- And maybe a blow-up doll.
No, I'm kidding.
(laughter)
- That's gonna make German TV, right there.
It's gonna be huge in Germany.
- I already made my trip worth it over here.
(laughter)
So, I've heard that you said that you would like
to work with Ben in every movie now
because you had such a good chemistry.
Is there some kind of bromance between the two of you?
Are you like really good buddies?
- Well, we can't go public with that.
- By blow-up doll, he meant me.
(laughter)
No, we got along, we had a good time.
I would love to work with Gavin again, it would be great.
- Thank you so much, - That's it?
You really made the 13-hour trip.
- That was it, 13 hours for that?
- Yeah, precious for me, no.
- You're an interesting reporter.
Every minute.
- Thank you.
Thank you so much.
- [Ben And Gavin] Thank you very much.
