Sam Rockwell & Ben Schwartz Discuss "Blue Iguana"

We're going to play all the Avengers in the new Bender movie, thank you, it's like it's my Nutty Professor and it's like when the Klumps came back and I when Klumps came back and I'm not nervous because I think I can nail it. I don't see a dinner scene with you, it's Iron Man, Hulk, the Widow, just wait, it cost a billion dollars that's why we had to split it into two movies because my filming took a long time but it should be good. I'm in which movie is Sonic. I'm going to play Sonic the Hedgehog in the new Sonic that John. movie that's really excited, thanks man, I appreciate it, I'm really excited, it's going to be really good, this is the first time I'm talking about it, you have the exclusive of me saying something that you can read online, what's your sound sonic hearing? like it's all secret I can't, I can't do the voice, it is, I definitely won't say it, no, it's a great movie, the script is, the script is incredible, Jeff Fowler, who is the director, is incredible and it's very good. and like any reunion or any time I've seen with the movie, he's doing such a good job, the script is so good, I really hope people like it, Jim Carrey plays the villain, it looks like Marsden is in too In the movie, I think.

He's going to be really good. I am very excited. I guess everyone will have live action except me. Well, it's a mix of CGI and live action. I don't know what they announced. This is the first time, I don't know what. I'm allowed to say that you say because you don't know anything about movies, so you can make up anything. I only play

blue

characters, Julie Duck, Leonardo from Turtles and then Sonic the Hedgehog, that's my, that's my hat trick. done what is life like after Oscar are you looking at him like this he is welcome I'm sorry, get better I know it's nice it's nice this is nice how is it tell us I can tell you it's not like that he never wakes up again he falls asleep and hired a gentleman to nudge him in the eyebrows when it's time to wake up in the shower at the Oscars people take bottles of Evian and throw them at him he gets out of bed like the Jetsons someone takes off his old clothes he leaves?

Do you want to wear clothes today because now he has the choice of where to keep the Oscar was murdered this literally stayed what he did was place his toothbrush on his head to brush his teeth with it? Oscar when he's doing the Oscar and then he uses his Golden Globe, his mouthwash and then what else do you do? I mean, you're pretty close to... I have what else we need, a Tony and a Grammy, yeah, and your spoken word and us. I'll probably win a Grammy. He's making the spoken word album about how expensive whole foods are.

It's one hour and 30 minutes. It's worth it? No, it is by the way. I will say this. I have known Sam for many years and nothing has changed. he is such a good human being in such a kind world, this is all real, he won't let me say it, but he is amazing, he is one of the best actors in my head of all time. I love seeing it in anything when I see it. In Moon I was so impressed that someone could give a performance like that and carry a movie like him and then when you see him you know he's a real human being, he's a good guy, oh well, well, well, but it's Incredible, nothing has done it. changed, he is charming, he still faces times and everything is fine?

I was afraid I wouldn't get a public library card. Fantastic and here is the sag-aftra card if you need it. Great, what was the experience like after making that movie and then the Before the Oscar, everyone talks about that field, the campaign is like, oh, would you ever expect that from a movie like three billboards that's versus raisi , violent, hilarious, strange film that I don't think the Oscars would have ever imagined? playing no, no, it was surreal from Venice until it was surreal and you know, it became something really exciting, it was very, very exciting. I mean, being in that arena was really, really special and taking that journey with Gary.

Oldman you know Frances McDorman Martin McDonagh so many great people Laurie Metcalf Allison Janney who I've known for years you know how to run with those people you better go to these little festivals and Palm Springs or something where everyone They have all these things that lead up to this and they will show a real Gary Oldman or William Defoe show of their work over the years and that's one of the most fun parts: you get to see all these people and they are celebrated and the people you admire and are great. I mean, I've certainly seen Laurie Metcalf on stage and she blew me away and just running into her all the time was great, yeah, let's ask some questions, I think there's a question here. there are several of you, thank you, thank you Nigel, that's my son Daniel, so the question, I've been a user family for about four years, what do you think of me?

I think they're amazing, okay, cool, anyone who loves Indian food and when they look at your career as a character actor and you mentioned Gary Almond before. I was going to say: are there other character actors? They have babies. Your races. Grey's evolved over time. I mean, Chris Walken comes to Mike. I know you have what the question is. And what will current actors influence your career? Oh, yeah, over the years, I mean, yeah, coming soon, I mean, I don't know about Ben, but I admired, I mean, Gary Oldman, John Malkovich, John Tudor, oh, there were so many.

I know Jon Voight, right, yeah, yeah, I did a play with Walk and I guess it's true, it's true, I can work with Robert De Niro. I mean, I have very eclectic taste. Bill Murray Richard Pryor Robert De Niro Gene Hackman, you know Morgan Freeman Meryl Streep. obviously, Holly Hunter, I mean, I have a lot of heroes, you know, and I get to work with some of them, yeah, yeah, I've been very lucky, yeah, well, you've had like mentors, sir. bean mr. bean Ronald McDonald Jeffery from Toys-r-us I mean, these are icons, these are titans of the industry that have influenced me in ways that I didn't even think were possible the Hamburglar grimace, of course, the entire McDonalds team, yeah, um, by the way, A lot of mine are very similar to Sammy's, uh, in terms of comedy, you look at Amy Poehler and you're blown away and I think she's just amazing, Amy and Tina, and then you look at them even as the cultural rug, although Walter Walter Matthau for me.

I do a lot of improv and sometimes people say you know of anyone who's been around who you'd like to do improv with on my list is usually like Walter Matthau John Candy I think John John Candy and airplanes, trains and automobiles, I think that's one of the best dramatic or comedic performances, it's so perfect, but there are many, I mean there are a lot, yes Martin, yes, yes, man, so many, so many, great dramatic and comedic, yes, next question, yes, hi , my name is uh Lou, yeah, well, thank you, really excited. I want to see the movie, so my question is what was the most difficult thing about making this movie for the cast and especially for you two?

The hardest thing was that we had a pretty fast schedule, the budget was pretty good, he did a great job of taking a relatively low budget and making it look big, his big action sequences and all this stuff, so we rushed to see a bit more, it was interesting the pub where we did the filming, oh yeah when we left we found out a few things about the pub, oh yeah there are a couple of places that were quite rough, a bit shady, can you tell what was shady ? Well, I think maybe we turned out to be I don't remember the hoarding drug den, oh, is it true that in real life we ​​were too dry? it smelled funny there we found a great location yeah real unique rustic places couple of rashes there yeah next one more hi Sam hi Ben uh well Judy they're coming.

I'm Josh, hey Josh, your last name starts with N. Not Ernest. No sorry, man, the next question I said: I saw you at City Hall and you were very funny. Yes, you came to City Hall. It was incredible. Oh thanks. I perform an improvisation comedy. Well, you leave while you're winning the Oscars. do things for very little money, yes, so my questions for you. I'm curious to know what it's like to grow up as a kid in the '80s and '90s and then voice some of the most iconic characters, whether it's duck tales or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or now you know.

Sonic Sherman first of all this is a true fact have you ever seen the original change new Turtles movie the original yes he was in that movie it's one of his first roles this isn't even a young bully or something Okay face to face face, yes, I thought he was tall and rich, he was my partner, yes, he's amazing. I used to send him pictures of himself from the movie all the time. The young thug and his partner are beaten by KC Jones and that is the scene that doesn't. I don't know, but the boy Elias is going to go crazy today.

I just saw the guy who was the lead in that movie. I'm pretty sure he's going to be a director, yes, yes, to answer your question, yes, those are the things I saw while he was growing up like duck tails. I watched growing up, I played video games growing up, so Sonic is huge for me and then Teenage Mutant Turtles. It's all these things that mattered so much to me when he was a kid, so that's why I do them and I like to try to do them as well as I can. to make people laugh, you only work with Billy Crystal.

He made a movie, he is two-handed. Yes, tell us about that. I'm sure he won't talk about that movie. I did a movie with Billy Crystal directed by Matt Ratner, we just finished it. You are a crystal that is great, that is a being, it was incredible because of the way he really took you under his wing, you had a good time, he was so kind, he was so charming, he was incredible, many times you work with someone, no. many times when you do it. They're like, oh my God, I've seen everything you've done. I used to watch you host the Oscars.

I think City slickers is a perfect movie. When Harry met Sally. I think it's one of the most perfect movies and when people are kind. when you work with walking and when I work with Billy Crystal and they're nice, it's like my dad was the first thing he asked me after what if I was, he's like, can I still support him? He's a good guy. Yes, he is great, he is a police officer, thank God, thank God, he was very special. I can't wait for people to see that movie, I don't know if we have any connection with you, it should be called, we are not satisfied. it could just be called, you know, here come Billy and Ben, guys, that's great, that's a great title, oh, thanks, yeah, you name a movie.

I can think of an alternative, what is your favorite movie of all time? Blue Iguana, you get your favorite movie of all time. is not naked Mike Lai is naked your favorite movie is have you ever heard of naked? It's a cold naked naked in the name of the movie I've seen I'm sorry I called a drinker, a drinker, play a little ball look, now come on, Goodfellas Oh, Star Wars would be like family isn't for kissing, you have a shortcut more, shortcuts are shortcuts, shortcuts with the robot and like Robert Altman, that's Robert by the way, how dare you short circuit the future like a new Raiders?

Okay, you're in Raiders of the Lost. Ark is, uh, I'm lazy, but I can beat things and then what's the other one? My question was: are you more offended than me? I confused a short circuit or shortcuts. It was the best. Return to the future. It's a perfect Harry met Sally. When Harry. I met Sally, see you soon at the beginning, there's something on a table with a wheel. I love that movie. Bruno is in Bruno Kirby, that's a great character who acts like a city slicker. He is not God the father. Yes, across the alley, no, no, the freshman. freshman, good sir, that's embarrassing, I thought you said Fresh Prince of Bel-air Independence Day Independence Day Independence Day would be I hope you like the White House now being John Malkovich Being John Malkovich fair when you think you've had enough John Malkovich no no No guys, that's awesome, guys, Blue Guana opens August 24th, please check out a couple of New York theaters for other movies.
