"There was no one day or scene or molecule of this film that literally didn't cost a lot," Gonzalez said. "It was such an ambitious project. It's scary when you have that dream that is big and everything was set to fail. So, yes, I couldn't be more proud, more surprised, more shocked that we finished, that I survived.
"But I will never do it again. Because I am a crazy man, but not stupid. It [was] once in a lifetime, but that's it."
