Brad Pitt interview on Troy (2004)

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] Brad Pitt is here in 1991 he gained widespread attention as his swindling Drifter JD in Sulman louise since then has focused on diverse characters and has tended to seek interesting projects this month he takes the lead in Troy based on Homer's The Iliad here is the trailer for the film is that no one else is the new one out I am pleased to welcome Brad Pitt to this table for the first time Thank You charlie great grazie yeah great English you know tell me about Achilles and why this was an interesting character that arm oh well it's you know it's one of the great iconic characters of history of course or certainly literature quest literature there was a lot there there was a lot to go after the physical demands the the research the the personalization of the character he himself is I went as Homer shapes him he we never quite know where he is until the end he does this really interesting thing where you were you believe you know who Achilles is he's this vein we got searching for glory he'll then throw back he'll take you back in time to a scene when he was very benevolent and giving and so his characters is constantly unfolding the second thing he does which was I was really taken with is that that character is forged by experience and by his response is to experience which are often very extreme sometimes despicably extreme him but this I understand more than adopting a Dogma or a belief system that it's okay to make mistakes it's okay to be a bastard at times if you can write that wrong if you can learn from and take it in fact it's very important there's a great scene you're referring to with the mother I think that's when I'm you messing early on the sense of my person exactly if you could choose a mother that's a great mother yeah there's a great scene and I mean and you get a sense of the ambition that drives it to want to be historical to run have that kind of it knows is a great warrior right and on the other hand there is this urging to do something else he's pulled by but you know in the end doing the choice between sort of retiring into what would be a wonderful life versus the chance to be a historical character he can't resist to leave a mark and cameras and that is I mean if I were to contemporize it they would you certainly make parallels to Thames but that to me signifies more running from death running from oblivion this idea to leave a monument even though you're not going to be able to join it wasnt ouya not exactly but this this push that for some kind of meaning some kind of purpose they would write about how he he wanted to surpass all men he wanted to pass the the limits of mortality and this is this thing that he was hungry for and and and in the end it became something very simple for him certainly in the Iliad as Homer constructs where it's just in an acceptance of his own humanity and and the idea that we're all after the same thing people are making a big deal about this notion one you were reluctant today to talk you into taking this number one to something so many ways you like the character so yeah very much and you know I'm I get in my way a lot and it's just seem too obvious for a minute there the white look to you to play that kind of role well it was ice at the bench for a couple years I'd done anything so I was anxious to take something on there would be a little more difficult did we get to throw everything in and this one open that one what's the physical challenge well the physical challenge is you know there's a current movement for for its kind of the MTV cutting style where things are getting faster harder slash boom insert insert insert and Wolfgang Peterson and Simon Crane who Simon comes from Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan I mean he's he's top of the game we're really adamant about us learning the fights and doing doing them ourselves so we could pull the camera back and you could see it unfold you can see the strategy you can see that's you know you're going for a kill shot every time there's nothing superfluous in fact you see van Damme about it okay exact you know it's it's um you're going for a kill shot and you understand the chest more the fight and this one by the time we get to the Achilles Hector fight which the muse it's something I think it's one of the great showdowns and it is unfold slowly and it and it's almost balletic until of course you almost forget them someone's got to go what's terrific about this movie also is a it's the historical notion coming from the Iliad and and others it is the characters that surround you yeah Peter O'Toole Eric Bana Brendan Gleeson Brian Cox Sean Bean Rose Byrne Orlando Bloom Diane Kruger on we go Julie Christie Julianne Julie Christie I was afraid we're gonna have a little Oedipus cell father I'm going to read through there something to me just the pinnacle of the you know the late sixties early seventies she is she's the bar yeah take a look at this this is King AG Romanian Brian Cox place discussing the siege of Troy with Achilles you got to understand that what is here is this notion of the warrior yet there is conflict between the two of them because Achilles does not have a lot of respect for the king or suggests he has different motives here it is the soldiers won the battle history remembers Kings not soldiers tomorrow will batter down the gates of Troy I'll build monuments to victory on every island of Greece I'll carve Agamemnon in the stone be careful King of Kings first you need the victory I mean that's a classic leading man warrior leading man because it good sturdy over sin but they have been wanting you to do this for a while did you just look for the right role or you've been building to it or you needed to do this other thing because you knew you could come to this at a certain moment your life I think it's more that I think I I really didn't understand what I had to offer more than what any anyone else could do it it seemed to me we're all kind of doing the same version and I needed to I guess work some things out for myself plus I come from the school when I started I come from the school of Mickey Rourke Sean Penn these guys were these were the guys that flipped me out things were in the seventies films of course so especially Sean in terms of doing care rolls their ass horribly so this became my drivers became my interest and I wanted to see you know how I stood up what I could find that was original devid there was a reason for me being when you does it have something to be that this is the right time in terms of age I mean you've done these other things possibly I mean certainly you attending mid-level is a good motivator is it but if you know you always hear it's coming I then and so I want to see how far I could take if I really did it proper and and and it - I've done a few films now so it's time to up the ante it's time to take it further or get out I felt did this in any way invigorate a sense of wanting to act more you've got three films coming out no it still if it still felt the same I just felt like I graduated again in a way but still went in it went about it the same and still still you know tormented through it and and still would like to change a few things on the way out what do you mean by that change of pieces well there's always a couple you know that you wanna wait we were sitting through the composite you said I jumped that yeah China destiny I mean the chunk that's it you feel it or fluffed it meaning it could be better I would love another shot and yeah you know we you and I both architects you know architect junkies and I remember when Disney I mean not Disney Hall when Bilbao in Spain opened and I went to go see it I stood across the water and you see oh yeah this laid out the Guggenheim there by Frank Gehry and I literally I got shivers it was the sexiest thing I've ever seen cut till I go home and I see Frank me standing on the same spot it's a television program and they're asking about it and he is standing there and he's telling the story of how standing on that spot he looked and saw he said and all I could see was what he wanted to change and how him happy how he blew it for the for the clients and oh my god what hadn't done so I think there's some kind of I think that fires were what what pushes you propels you to the next in some degree so I don't take it so seriously but you also had to buck your student you really had to go through a certain kind of denial yeah to get ready for this the body is an amazing machine it isn't an amazing machine if you tell it it needs to perform in these areas and feed the beat at the proper fuel and it needs to acclimate it will acclimate it will get to the point where it will you enter it you rip it and it will repair itself stronger because you're telling it it needs to be able to carry this kind of way I'll just take a look at this and we'll explain it afterwards here tell me a little bit about shooting that and from the cinematographers standpoint what it was that that you you know coming to that scene well we're again we had rehearsed that for months and months and months um and it was shot late you masada and yet was in fact we only had that fight scene to shoot left we had five days left in and one weekend the hurricane came in wiped out the wallet Roy it's about the size of half the stadium football stadium and then also I my pendants oh so we've shot this is when you were down at Baja in California try me in Mexico that's right and and how many have you shot at the end and then you'll wait three months off after you Witek yeah or doing a heavy on his off it was and then we came back and shot there what you just saw the fight actually the dialogue was done right before the hurricane hit we had to come back yeah the the idea of the performance here how much how much did you get from from some kind of exchange with with Peter and Brian Cox and from all of it and we certainly will get to Peter after this but at that point this point it's um it's it's all about vengeance you know and we're dealing with the kilise Achilles heel just a metaphor for on that weakness we exactly becomes the strength that's really we're talking about that you make the if we're talking about the heart I going to say and it here at this point he he has Homer talked about when when I when I blindly set myself against another view and I draw this line that it actually becomes evil when I blindly set myself against and at this point here we wanted to see the Vengeance we you know we this is a at this point where we're dealing strictly with vengeance and and we as Americans I think a really steeped in the Benton's tale we probably take it too far I don't know so healthy and at this point that's what we're dealing with but we take it I wanted to see rage to the point of insanity because in nearly there's a great line where he talks about that he wishes he wishes Troy and at an evil death he doesn't just say death he says he strictly says he evil then that's very telling you and this is where you see the rage in which he and what he does with Hector's body right after the dead on that shows you the extension of the rage like which still doesn't help him at all in the bench and so of course what were builds on his cousin what we're building to yes the vengeance of his cousin or cousin in art he was Brandon nearly right and of course what we're building to is the point where enemy an enemy said that when Priam comes to him and asked for the big favor and set this up we're going to see that NATO this is my favorite moment of them and I think you could it's your one of your favorite yeah yeah it is for several reasons I'm and it's it's one of the greatest moments I've ever read and it works in the script to David Benioff credit and it and I get to take a shot at this with Peter O'Toole it's very special to me just to have that opportunity I was really savoring that and here at this point of course Peter O'Toole being playing king priam father of Hector is coming to ask for a favor after I've done something completely despicable what I was saying this specific knowledge of the film reality but it's coming at something that because out of humanity of the King that's right and to pay respects to that's right and at that point Achilles is completely walled off he's impenetrable he's invulnerable and because he too is experiencing normal loss he is suffering loss and the Vengeance hasn't licked it and this is where we are premium comes in and it's a seam seam constructed to disarm him dismantle his ego and way completely disarmed it by the end of it and it doesn't come at Achilles with force which is what he understands it comes at him with the weapons of peace which are words and through that this line that separates un la or side versus side my side the other side McKinney's Priam gets a race and he witnesses almost his own reflection they then they form this kinship of suffering they both have lost but they loved and from there it's a real turning point on a film that it's a turning point of vengeance Taylor takes it a step further and it's really the point of our world having said that indent let me just set it up one into a higher level think of a great moment you've had on film where does this sit certainly you know I don't know where it'll add up but certainly from experience yeah it was it was why I wanted to do what we do here it was it's white one-act yeah and you don't get them too few and far between but you keep chasing these moments moments brought together by the nature of the scene north moment by the fact that you repeat after all I'm an actor that you would have enormous admiration right directing a director's less if let's just go at it and it takes every you really we are feeding off of each other and that's that's the best of scenario it's a great Saint roll tape here dick let me place two coins on his eyes is for the button I let you take doesn't change anything you are still my enemy in the morning you're still my enemy tonight but even an amazing show respect for even enemies sketch shows day that was a line the hook you know yeah what do you get from working with people to it's just gonna say I love him it just takes me right back just riveting here watching yeah just a sister I have had that moment but Pedro to himself beyond the legend is is a he's a true force he's a force of nature he um he comes from a different school that I don't understand he's um he's got this eloquence and he's this gift of storytelling and he's just a laugh to be around and I put you under the table I'll tell you that but you always I do yeah I mean I think he's operated I know cuz you look at that guy and just like took something somebody like a third of a stomach left and they record over delivers okay you have light input Joan of the Dead put you on let me take you back to Thelma and Louise mm-hmm you said that was one of the roles you chunked no I jumped that scene that's the others in the world yeah just yeah well that was a great scene I mean I'm saved everybody it was a really it was a well-written sing and I just I didn't elevate the scene at all it was really well written on page and that there I just kind of flatlined it what did it do for you that movie well you know it opened the doors for me and then you know half this businesses is the lotto there's a lot of talented people out there and because of that I've been given the opportunities to grow and you know hone the craft so to speak but Ridley Scott giving me that shot would you open the door let me in the game let put me in the ring did that start the Fame Game two um I guess to some degree you had to some degree but you know you've still got it punch at it then Redford came along found instead can you plot their son it's not really actually it's a a friend of mine dermot mulroney we'd love the script so we we went out and made a tape of doing some of the scenes we had a friend of our shooter and sent it to him to get in the door but first you had to learn how to fly-fish yeah well that you know that that's one of the perks of what we do we get to pick up something usually on every film and what I have learned is you can learn anything some kind of some someone's going to take a little longer than the others but we can we have the ability to learn it you are interesting about this whole same business though I mean any weeds it comes about in part because of craft and skill and experience it also comes about because it's the nature of the business you're in it also comes about because of DNA the way you one looks all of that right do you shy away from it do you accept it and say it's part of what I am and what I do and so therefore I'll keep my pride how do you handle that I used to wrestle with a lot more than I do now I accept it pretty much for what it is and you know it just became much easier when I gave up on wanting understanding yeah and one wanting justice in a way what do you mean by that just wanting to record to be right set the record straight and and so some point you come to the place where they're going to take the pictures and they're going to write pretty much stories that they want to write right and and I can't go around it all comes out in the wash as we say back with the kind of game you had two or two definitely did no question Clooney does her best he's the best section why's he just has one who knows how to enjoy more than anyone else and he knows how to play with it and his quick wit you know he's ahead of the game seven did what for you seven well it is hooking up a David Fincher because um I just I love the guys need to become a great friend and and I love what he does and it kind of took me down another Road I think that started with California California was the first time I tried to do some kind of new character something away from where it was heading I tried to go take a right turn and 7/7 had this feeling this color of the 70s films that I loved what Fincher was after and yet it was something new and and I don't know if internship could be Orson Welles as far as I'm concerned he's an amazing yeah and bright and and you and Morgan to work with Morgan uh-huh was a great experience spike club by club again David Fincher yeah yeah and Edward Norton also become good friends with since some had said that that was that there was that Fight Club showed a part of you that was part of you um I don't know I don't know we're having a laugh at that phase I was really trying to we start out with acting 101 we that I'm still in this scene scene breakdown what is your character wants at that point I was trying to I was getting too caught up in that I was trying to throw all that out the window and it was a experiment for me to see just what happens on the day what do you about on the day and so because of that maybe it is a little more I'm not quite sure I sure appreciate a little irreverence yeah exactly yeah yeah and then at some point you oh she's 11 and I may be leaving something out Ocean's eleven clooney and company yeah um well you know one of these go ahead well I was just gonna I was going to throw in Soderbergh because he really enjoyed your partners he in Georgia partners and he's one of the great one of our great directors contemporary directors as well so it's really a storytellers medium and we're a small component of it it's really up to the storytellers yeah it really is by the time you you know that what the evidences that make you want to direct at some point some no no no you're so firm and smart of charcoal back yeah absolutely it's a daunting task and i and ii i think there's so many good people doing it right now that i'm not needed it's like a negative let's say and my sense is that you're enjoying acting i'm enjoying and you're not and you don't know where you can take it but as you quote frank gehry your friend and mine if you know where the journey is going then you don't want to take it yeah something to like what it is yeah if you know where it's going but you know it's in the end you don't want to take it or something's not it's not worth exploring so yeah some extent then if i was going to take and take on some kind of job as commander in chief that you must be it would probably be one a building aspect or something like that I've enjoyed own enjoyed much more tell me about you in architecture I don't know what is it well I do I know a little bit what it is I've always Jones done it I've always been a bit of a junkie for it and and it's it's one of the few art forms that you can be inside and you can experience it but being smaller than it and I have a strict belief that architecture has ability to lift your soul that we are susceptible to our surroundings I think a prison cell would be resolute would be the opposite and that there are these people now who are leading us to the future and and I'll tell them the misperception of architecture is that it's all aesthetics and it's really not aesthetics when you sit with these guys these masters like Gary and I didn't grow out sure sure all of them of yeah the state yeah yeah and I watched yeah it just the scientists first the study the the study of how people will move to the space helps how they want to use it how they the weather the climate how we can harness air through how can we how can we better people's lives and that is the science and that's where architecture starts and finding as Frank did with titanium you know when a whole the whole notion of what you can and I think you have shown some real interest in this according when I've read with Frank um if you go to his place in Los Angeles it's an experiment it's an experiment you know and you can see a hell of an end of the experiment and and the impact of computer technology especially to him with his creativity you know just opened up a whole new I mean he couldn't have done what he did at Bilbao he couldn't have done what he did in Disney without the impact of the technology that now makes his ability to see how it's possible these are pioneers he blew the lid off the box literally and yes his house is one big Jam Sofia isn't dissing trying to selling this one in there I'm out in this corner but go straight about image is the guy to 70s yeah you know it we need to talk to him his enthusiasm for the work and for the ideas and a rather swishing and brothers worked in the future where we can go they show us the future that show us how we can better our lives how we can how we can live for Disney Hall was so important for for LA and the achievement of the sound qualities is stunning right immediately became like an iconic symbol and yet now this I think there's 13 acres around weather already it's already hijacked by developers but how do you how do you take this fascination looking back to movies in a moment this fascination with it in terms of what you do I mean because to look it I saw one story with some terrific pictures and it and what it showed to me was it a an aesthetic it did show an aesthetic but it also showed some real sense of feeling about material about stone here and about wood and about other materials yes I everyone's coming out their moniker of their vernacular and I'm certainly not throwing myself in a lot with with these people we've mentioned but I guess I'm always looking for a harmony - harmony of materials that could come from more of a a Bauhaus understanding which was all about materials let the let the the grain in the wood be the decoration don't you don't have to fill it up let there's beauty here in nature and harness that and show that and so me myself I'm always kind of looking for harmony and then I was always seemed to be looking for a way out I always got the exit but when you exit meaning what me executing the freedom I don't yeah it was what the walls to go in and the connection to outside as well and that's right you in fact and in use of light and all of all of it it's all about light how the light bounces around the place and then we're not have you ever thought that I mean you Pete do you look at acting and say this is what I was born to do this is what I should be doing for a whole combination of circumstance no not at all in fact I get a little frustrated I think there's so many things to do there's so much to do but where do you think you are in terms of some sense of enthusiasm for for acting for acting I got to down before the two years you know you need to go away from there I needed to go away from it to fill up again and I got a Jones for it again here with what Roy how do you think how did that happen um because you're kicking into another zone - I need incubate I need to sit for a bit and and ideas start coming things start forming and and I find direction and that's always the most exciting time to me like direction by that I mean a line to follow and that's how I equate it with with any of the arts when you find a line you find something you start following that line because it means something to don't know where it's going and that's certainly how I equate it to tacking as well as trying to find something in the characters but I'm dying wholeheartedly interested in the future just where it's going but what we impact of technology and where we're going where style is going and yes and certainly with alternative energies were way behind way behind Sweden's kicking our story today let's go to the difference today's New York Times us is losing its dominance in the sciences when various rates started to lose its worldwide dominance in critical areas of science and innovation according to federal and private experts who point to strong evidence like prizes awarded to Americans and the number of papers in major professional journals foreign advances in basic sign off arrival leaving the seat that's going to kick us from there it really is about integrating people like Andy Grove and Bill Gates you know have been preaching this for for and example years little Sweden is kicking our ass and the new technologies are so excited so excited vehicles powered by magnetic pole and on and on it goes on and on it goes and we're not investing in it we're not pushing it we should be I think we got a responsibility as a superpower we got a responsibility to teach as well how you don't talk much about politics no I don't it's not my I'm very prone to step into so you know I don't pretend to have all information but I do pay attention it yeah but here's something I mean I don't want to say this not at the risk of embarrassing or sounding like I'm patronizing you you know there was some sense that that you what comes across and it comes across especially here in this Pete this is a piece I don't know if you've read it or whether you like no I have it's a very good case it's it's as benneferre which is coming out and it's by Leslie Bennett huh and it's she captures what in print an extraordinary sense of a reflective and interesting mind at work I mean all you guys do is read it and make your own judgment about it in terms of someone who really has who's really on a journey and is enjoying it you know yet at the same time understands with a kind of sharp eye realism about the nature of the game okay okay now right that go what I think but part of it is this notion to that is there any part of you is what comes across as an intelligent very bright curious mind reflecting our conversation is point of view that sort of got characterized or stereotyped or whatever because of looks and acting so the people had no real sense and did that frustrate you I'm also more in command of my exploration as I as I get older I really appreciate getting older so far anyway yes I'll trade I'll take wisdom over you sandy dayes miss but absolutely but also I was I like watching the new younger generations come in exactly where the head and give me the 20 21 yeah sure and try to tell when they listen or they don't yeah but don't we did people try to tell you and you listened or did I probably didn't I don't know if anyone did but yeah just some degree I mean not given I'm sure we've half of it was projections on me for the way I looked and also and hatha was me just from not not not really speaking up you know statement I was much more internalized much more inside because that was the nature of your it's in temperament or it was just where you were in your own a little learning a little both I think it's a part of my upbringing we said a lot with our silences and also I always want to I want to learn the area before I before I step in to speak up how are you influenced and what's the fact how do you factor in this sort of rather would appear to me a remarkable marriage and and in peace same thing we always called it a an exploration as well and there you'd set the marriage itself and Jen and I have been what we're we succeed in most of getting everything on the table it's that's been our law at home it's been a better only law everything it's got end up on the table may take us a little while to get there and to end to them does great freedom that comes from that and we've become better friends because of it just put it on the table yeah it's got to get on the table even if it's no matter how uncomfortable it is it's gotta get out and that's longest read everything and it made it is it is so basic and simple and fun the middle that's right about living about your own analysis of yourself about everything that's right and and it's I'm talking it's freeing it's freeing in the end and because we love each other it can be accepted is it a complementary relationship or she share your passions for in terms of your own sense of art and architecture and noise connector to different things and yet no I don't think she quite understands what is what I'm after and I don't think I quite understand what these asset but but it's interesting to me because I don't do you regret at all and you were a couple of weeks away from a degree in journalism at Missouri when you decided you know there's a line and adaptation film I love from you know who was here was who's a Kauffman oh I would yeah you know what I love his his writing I would be I would loved it was a mate at you Sean Penn and I as you know a friend and did a fix him in his profile said the same thing to me the best that I know love Charlie called me he's onto something he's onto something he's mixing it up and again it said that the new voice that new direction had in vernacular and his stuff is painful to brutally honest I adore him hugely his and would love to end up in something with that kind of tone do you seek out and having those ideas do you seek someone like that and say yeah you do your throat a few darts at them and if you are an impact yeah and if yeah I didn't here's a here's the calling card and if it matches up you know they'll respond and if not that you know it's not the right mask but you sought out Frank Gehry yeah no way yes I certainly do you want to explore you want to learn you want to get to sort of getting bloom and rub up against somebody that was doing interesting things now this stuff so I got it sexy and and in something that's an inanimate object it had movement Moving's it was like music I can't do it justice her in this mag Leslie Bennett again a terrific piece I thought you said I'm not a big proponent of happiness no I think it's overrated ethically did now what is that I'm not talking about a piece I'm talking about happiness because it is such an emphasis on that we gotta be happy all the way home you are not happy but not to be happy is okay is what you have some you've gotta have it you've got to have the other to appreciate any kind of happiness or to understand any kind of happiness I'm here I'm it's overrated how much in control of your life of you do and how much of it has been I don't know percentage I'm probably you know I'm probably about 50/50 here's why I asked you take someone I tom crass do you have a sense that he's 100% right in control and a lot of people could look at it and say he's controlled it very well absolutely he's a he's the best I've seen on the business side he's the best I've seen I'm me it's on my particular interest you basically said money in business per se don't eat try nod huh I think some money yeah you know I'm not gonna well this is not going to be raising money and get a piece of the onion sure sure but I also want to be I want to be open to what what comes across I want to be open for the surprises the best stuff I've ever found has always been surprised me too especially in acting and in life so I'd be open for that and then if it doesn't work out so well I have enough faith that I'll figure it out who's had the most influence on you I got it I still go back to work and pen because that's when I really started focusing because the way they were doing and the choices they had and there's characters they can amazing juxtaposition of toughness and hardness with also this this softness of soul and heart and need it's a it's see that's a killer motor difficult and that's Achilles yeah you could trace you can pretty much trace everything back to the you guys for me yeah Hector and Achilles are oh yeah anything I've done back to back to pan aerobic yeah this one I actually going into it I started I drew a little from Nicole Kidman from the hours I thought she had a great internal turmoil and also I used Webber from Sacramento Kings please grab yeah you got this key he on the court he's a great warrior on the court but he also sees in some constant conflict there's a an immense rage there and there's also a great warriors heart there so I actually used him as a starting point of the springboard there's a great tone there and you could you could probably find it in there when you're with guys like Redford who's directing you or Norton was a colleague Oh to Brian Cox do you guys talk about acting and view is there time for that and does it to influence you to you and then I usually good if you're if you're drinking with Peter O'Toole not a lot it's I think we absorb each other and then we tell what I love to say yeah yeah I see that more well I think we're constantly studying each other in a way but not in a yeah even have to be honest does this sound does the diction side come easy to you know that's a that's not my strong point and I've done a few of them now where people think that it comes easy to me that and so how do you make it look easy probably I work I worked very hard at it I got to work and I got to work and I got to first find the music in it that I can understand I got to find the melody you got to hear it I got to hear it and I got understand I got Nessus and so on how do you get there repetition and then I need someone to come in and show me the notes meaning the the sounds the specifics and certainly when I came out here my actions I still swallow my words with most of them young kind of just kind of talk like this I'm really not too much of me just kind of holding that like this to the calathea back yeah do I do feel better than I feel it in my body yeah yeah you're at one with your body I don't know I just can feel again the music that makes any sense whatsoever any passion to accrue to I mean you think of the architect and it passion for you to do to combine this great avocation you have which is an interest in in the visual and design and architecture and understanding and also the future is there a story of a great architect that would well that's good that would go back to the Fountainhead that audience but would you redo that you thought about it there was that guy everybody the thing is it's so dense and complex would have to be a six hour movie or I don't I don't know how you do it under four and not lose really lose what I'm Rand was after but does it interest you yeah it does yeah actually I believe all of the stones on this right now right yeah as a possibility but it's to make it as a feature film get part as a possibility yes as a future film you're also doing mister miss Smith is at the time yeah the turn what is that that is I'll be interested to see how this one works because it's a we're trying to combine genres of an action genre a romantic comedy a black comedy and I'll just it'll be I'll be curious to see how it works but it's a great metaphor for marriage and the whole thing is about here's the metaphors it is a message I understand I mean it's about two people two assassins and they're to kill each other well it's about a husband and wife or trying to kill each other right there which makes me laugh and then it actually sparks they find the relationship again through this and passion and and then they got to defend the marriage from the outside influences so it there's a if it works as a real fun you do a movie like that with Jennifer I would have to be careful we actually talked about it on this one and you know you look back at history it's there for us to learn it it's Tommy odd the odds are against couples working together it's really what it is that it's cherry-picked why is it that why is it so rarely work I don't know I don't know it worked pretty good with Beatty and Bening in bugs right right but that was but we've got was before Tamera oh yeah I don't know yeah you're right then I met there didn't work well but when it : Tom and some talking sometimes why cause sometimes it doesn't maybe it's our we know too much about the couple already and it's thrown on to the movie I don't know what why that is but I just know the odds are against us if you weren't doing this what would you most want to do I'd like to build just make things my I've kind of reduced it down to this from here on out I just want to make things let's make thing yeah just make things whatever that entails wherever that that takes her you said another intriguing thing which I admire a lot he said you know I do know I'd love to have lots of kids yeah I do I really love this idea of all these different personalities you know bouncing off each other and they got each other to learn from and I feel like I'm at the time now where I got something to tell them so he's in other absorbent experience and so therefore yeah yeah and I'm not good helped I can show them around I guess do a good job showing them and here's the kicker this is again displease you look for it to be all girls yeah me myself I know I really don't what good well I'm just going to screw up the guys a little bit they're gonna be pissed off at me for years and then after that but um yeah and I'm just a second front just a sucker for the girls great to have you here it's great being here but yeah thanks for having to turn Brad Pitt Troy is the film it's it has everything that you could
