As for making the movie, producer Lauren Shuler Donner said this water-tank scene - where Hugh Jackman's character is injected with a substance that makes him impenetrable - wasn't merely make believe.
''We tortured the man," Donner told the magazine. "He is an animal. A normal person could not do that.''

A premiere date has been announced for Quentin Tarantino's next movie Inglourious Basterds (yes, that spelling is correct). The World War II drama starring Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger and Christoph Waltz, will be released on August 21, 2009.
Here's a synopsis of the film:
Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Pitt, pictured in the role) organizes a contingent of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution against the Nazis. This group is known to its enemies as "The Basterds."
On July 1, audiences will get a look at Johnny Depp in the role of real-life gangster.
The actor stars alongside Christian Bale in Public Enemies.
Depp recently told Entertainment Weekly that he was intrigued by the criminal growing up.
“Dillinger was one of those guys, like Charlie Chaplin and Evel Knievel, that I was fascinated with at a young age,” said Depp. “And because of my grandfather [who ran moonshine during the Prohibition], the character was pretty easy for me to connect to. In a way, this movie was a salute to him…
Some people might disagree, but I think he was a real-life Robin Hood. I mean, the guy wasn’t completely altruistic, but he went out of his way not to kill anybody. He definitely gave a lot of that money away. I love the guy.”
Johnny Depp is John Dillinger, and Christian Bale is the FBI agent charged with bringing him down, in Public Enemies.
As movie fans turn the calendar to 2009, they can truly look forward to the blockbusters on slate this summer.
Leading the group is Terminator Salvation, director McG's latest take on this iconic franchise.
The director assures viewers the he's taking the assignment seriously, as proven by his choice of Christian Bale for the role of John Connor.
''It was important for me to get the most credible actor of his generation to come and add gravitas to what we were trying to achieve,'' McG told Entertainment Weekly. ''I wanted to respect the audience, and be very mindful of the mythology. We take this very seriously.''
Here's the latest image of Bale in Terminator Salvation:
