The film casts the couple as a London-based pair and centers on a Silicon Valley billionaire’s bunker project inspired by Mark Zuckerberg.
- On Tuesday, Cruz and Bardem premiered their film at the Venice Film Festival, directed by Florian Zeller and serving as a fierce critique of Silicon Valley tech billionaires.
- Zeller's script follows a star architect designing an underground survival bunker, inspired by Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg constructing a compound in Hawaii.
- Cruz and Bardem, who first appeared together in Vicky Cristina Barcelona, have completed around 10 films together. Bardem noted their on-screen characters share 'nothing' with their actual relationship.
- Questioning tech billionaires' empathy, the duo argued young people are intelligent enough to realize "they're being manipulated." Cruz expressed contempt for leaders envisioning a future where computers replace humans.
- Cruz described Florian as a "real protection" during intense emotional scenes, praising his direction. The couple emphasized they "really love this profession" while maintaining professional boundaries.
