![]() I guess kind of like…the only way I can describe it is what was it like having dinner with a family during the siege on Stalingrad whatever, you know? The human nature comes forth and people strive and crave to just…we all just want to be connected to each other and be like each other, which we are. Those people are us, so it was like working with us in very trying circumstances. What was that like working with those people, Robert? I was like “Oh God, this guy is so artsy.” And it turned into this incredibly wonderfully humiliating three months on skid row, which is probably exactly what I needed. The movie is about Jamie and the movie’s about these people and I was like “well then what the fuck do you want me there for?” He’s be like “Robert, just observe”. He kept telling me the movie is not about you. He wanted me there working with the LAMP members. And I was on this huge…you couldn’t be any broader or bigger than “Tropic Thunder”, so the idea of really switching gears and doing something where Joe said he wanted me there every day. ![]() It was Joe and it was Jamie and I was in Hawaii doing “Tropic Thunder” in a very different position than I am right now going like “what do they think I’m going to do? I just played a journalist.” And there was something about Gary Foster and Joe Wright flying there and really being passionate about the way they were going to do it as much as the story they were telling. Was it Joe Wright? Was it…what drew you in? What was it about this one then, I mean you’re doing this in the middle of these other sort of role different from this, very different films. You just celebrated two weeks ago your birthday, correct? I’ll never be 44 years old making a sequel, making a thing this and that, and so I’m really kind of just running on gratitude right now. I’m not one of those people who’s like oh this girl needs a lot of structure or she’s going to go to the wolves. Now, sometimes that system of controls is free-time like when I pull the Misses and we went to the Bahamas and did nothing for two weeks, but even then I knew where we were and what we were doing. I thought about it this morning because the truth is I need to be kept in check. Don Cheadle is just rocking it.ĭo you feel you’re working too much or you don’t feel you working…? Sam Rockwell, on the first day of shooting I was like “if this guy thinks he’s going to be funnier and cooler than me ( laughter) and it was a photo-finish. And he’s formidable and he’s very much reminding me of that kind of charming, confident guy that we know. I’ve seen his stuff and it is literally remarkable. You have an insane cast.Ĭould you talk about working with Mickey? We really, I think, leaving ourselves open to…we’re kind of trying to tell a story about how a dysfunctional family saves life on Earth as we know it.Īnd also, for this film you have Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell. The motivations Tony has and why he turns around and does things has completely to do with his own internal processes and it really is, I think, as much as we tried to in the first one really see behind the façade of this kind of storytelling. The relationships are very complex and hilarious. The set pieces have to do with things that aren’t your typical like bad guy conflict. Everything is ergonomic and the story is incredibly risky and artistic for a big genre movie. If you’re a fan of Robert’s, I promise you this is a great interview and one you’ll enjoy.Įverything has been improved. As Lopez endeavors to help the homeless man find his way back, a unique friendship is formed, one that transforms both their lives.Īnyway, while I already posted everything that Robert said about “Iron Man 2” a few days ago, below you’ll find the entire interview where we not only talk about “IM2”, but “Sherlock Holmes”, “The Soloist”, and a lot of other stuff. Journalist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey Jr.) discovers Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a former classical music prodigy, playing his violin on the streets of L.A. If you haven’t heard of the film yet, it’s directed by Joe Wright’s (“Pride and Prejudice”, “Atonement”) and it stars Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey Jr., and Catherine Keener. Last weekend I attended the international press day for “The Soloist” as a reporter for our partner website Omelete. It was a very funny ending to our great interview. Jude Law got me a really expensive phone. While this news might be boring to a lot of you…if you’ve ever wondered what was inside here’s what he said, “ But at the end of “The Soloist” roundtable interview last Saturday, he finally caved in and opened the case and showed us everything inside. ![]() In every instance, he’s always walking around with a hard black plastic case that is always shut and when people ask him what’s in it, he always makes a joke but refuses to talk.
