Sky Captain was filmed entirely against a blue screen with effects added in later. What was it like to film the scene where you are surrounded by giant robots?
It was totally absurd. That was the day when I thought: What am I getting myself into? [laughs] There was an orange ball on the end of a pole, and they're like, "Okay, the robot is to your left, and it falls down?" I never thought I'd be in this scenario. I never imagined that I'd be running away from robots, but there you go.

Stella McCartney's costumes in Sky Captain were beautiful. Did you feel that they added to the character?
Definitely. I felt that Stella really interpreted it perfectly. [Coproducer and Jude's former wife] Sadie [Frost] and I literally felt like the costumes had to be a major element in the film. Sadie was like, "We should get Stella to do it." Stella's one of my three best friends in London, so we were like, "Please, please, please do the costumes." And Stella just came up with this amazing look. She took that 1939 silhouette but made it modern, which is exactly what we knew she would do.
