>> NO.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN JUST GO AND HAVE FUN.
BUT IF YOU'RE NOMINATED, YOU HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE HAVING
FUN.
>> THERE WAS TENSION IN THE ROOM.
THEY HAD ALL THESE MUSICAL ACTS THIS YEAR.
ELTON JOHN IS PERFORMING.
IT WAS COOL AS HELL.
>> Stephen: PARTIES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> WE-- WE WENT TO THE GOVERNOR'S BALL RIGHT
AFTERWARDS.
AND VERY BRIEFLY, BUT THEN WE HAD TO GET HOME BECAUSE I WAS
FLYING TO NEW YORK TO COME AND DO THIS CRAP HERE.
SO...
>> Stephen:I'M SO SORRY.
>> YEAH.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> YOU PREVENTED ME FROM -- >> Stephen: I APOLOGIZE--
>> FROM HAVING A REALLY LONG NIGHT.
>> Stephen: AS I SAID, YOUR COSTAR FROM "DOWNHILL", WILL
FERRELL, PRESENTED WITH YOU.
IT'S AN ADAPTATION OF A 2014 SWEDISH FILM.
>> THAT'S CORRECT.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU GIVE PEOPLE THE PREMISE?
CAN WE SAY THE EVENT?
ARE WE DOING THAT?
>> YES, I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN THAT.
IT'S AN AMERICAN ADAPTATION OF THIS SWEDISH FILM, AND
ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE FILM IS ABOUT IS AN AMERICAN FAMILY IS
ON VACATION IN AUSTRIA, AND I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD BE DIRECTING
THIS TO OUR GROUP.
>> Stephen: SURE, THAT'S FINE.
I'VE ALREADY HEARD IT.
>> OKAY.
AND THEY'RE HAVING A LOVELY TIME.
THEY'RE ABOUT A DAY INTO THEIR VACATION.
THEY'RE ON THE MOUNTAIN.
THEY'RE EATING OUTSIDE, HAVING LUNCH AT AN OUTDOOR RESTAURANT
ON THE MOUNTAIN.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A BOOM.
THEY LOOK UP, AND THERE'S AN AVALANCHE COMING VERY-- BUT IT'S
VERY, VERY, VERY FAR AWAY.
AND AS PEOPLE STAND UP AND START TAKING PICTURES AND SO ON.
BUT THEN IT SEEMS TO GET CLOSER AND CLOSER.
AND ALL OF A SURGEON IT'S, LIKE, REALLY CLOSE.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT SEEMS AS IF IT'S ALMOST UPON THEM.
AND IT'S ABOUT TO HIT THEM.
AND THE MOTHER-- I PLAY THAT PART--
( APPLAUSE )
YAY FOR MOTHERS, RIGHT?
AND THE MOM GRABS HER TWO KIDS, AND THE DAD, PLAYED BY MY FRIEND
WILL FERRELL, GRABS HIS CELL PHONE AND RUNS IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION.
( LAUGHTER )
OFF.
AND IT'S ABOUT SORT OF THE UNRAVELING OF THAT MOMENT
FORWARD, YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: UH-HUH.
IT'S HARROWING TO WATCH.
IT'S A REALLY FUNNY MOVIE.
BUT THAT MOMENT, EVERY-- I THINK EVERY MAN WHO WATCHES THAT
THINKS, "WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE?"
>> KNOW.
I KNOW.
>> Stephen: YOU SAY TO YOURSELF, "I WOULD NEVER RUN."
OF COURSE NOT.
>> OF COURSE, NOT.
>> Stephen: BUT THEN YOU DON'T KNOW.
HAVE YOU TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH YOUR LOVELY HUSBAND, BRAD?
>> YES, WELL HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY STAY AND PROTECT ME.
( LAUGHTER )
YOU THINK HE WOULD STAY?
>> DO I THINK HE WOULD STAY?
>> Stephen: DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD STAY?
>> NO, I WOULD TAKE OFF LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL.
OF COURSE I WOULD STAY.
MY CHILDREN AND EVERYTHING, 100%.
WE ALL THINK WE WOULD STAY.
BUT WHAT THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT IS GOOD PEOPLE SOMETIMES
MAKE BAD CHOICES.
>> Stephen: SURE.
>> AND HOW DOES ONE REDEEM THEMSELVES FROM THOSE MOMENTS?
>> Stephen: YES.
>> AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE STORY IS ABOUT.
OR SORT OF OWN UP TO IT, YOU KNOW.
IT'S ABOUT TELLING THE TRUTH.
AND -- >> Stephen: IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT WAYS.
>> CORRECT.
>> Stephen: THEY END UP TELLING EACH OTHER THE TRUTH IN
A LOT OF VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND FUNNY WAYS.
>> TENSE.
>> Stephen: IN TENSE WAYS, YES, YES, YES.
>> IT'S VERY TENSE.
>> Stephen: AND IF YOU'VE EVER TAKEN YOUR KIDS SKIING, JUST THE
TENSION OF GETTING YOUR KIDS READY TO GO SKIING.
>> IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
>> Stephen: FORCING THE FEET INTO THE BOOTS.
>> THE CRYING AND SHE IT'S FREEZING, AND YOU FINALLY GET
THEM DRESSED AND THEY'RE BOILING AND THEY WANT TO TALK IT OFF,
YOU KNOW,.
>> Stephen: AND THEY'RE MISSING ONE GLOVE.
>> RIGHT.
YEAH WE HAVE THAT SCENE.
>> Stephen: THERE'S A SCENE WHERE THEY'RE MISSING ONE GLOVE,
AND MY WIFE AND I CLUTCHED ON TO EACH OTHER FOR THE WHOLE THING.
YEAH.
>> VERY TENSE.
>> Stephen: VERY TENSE.
>> BUT GOOD TENSE.
YOU'LL DIG IT.
>> Stephen: IT'S A GREAT VALENTINE'S DAY MOVIE IF YOUR
RELATIONSHIP IS REALLY SOLID BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE FILM.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: NOW, LISTEN, YOU SHOT IN AUSTRIA.
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.
>> TELL ME ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> WE WERE IN THE ALPS FOR, LIKE, TWO MONTHS.
>> Stephen:URE AND ONE OF THE PRODUCERS ON THE FILM.
>> I AM.
>> Stephen: AND YOU WERE LIKE, "LET'S SHOOT THIS IN AUSTRIA."
>> CORRECT.
>> Stephen: AND YOU SKI, RIGHT?
>> I SKI.
>> Stephen: SO THIS IS ALL WORKING OUT FOR YOU.
>> EXCEPT TO SAY IT'S NOT LIKE WE COULD SHUT THE MOUNTAIN DOWN
AND SORT OF HAVE IT TO OURSELVES.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE WERE-- IT WAS PRETTY SORT OF RUN-AND-GUN.
AND IT WAS REALLY COLD.
AND WE WERE ON THE MOUNTAINTOP ALL DAY LONG SHOOTING IN NATURAL
LIGHT, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, SURE.
SO WE SHOULD BE SYMPATHETIC FOR YOUR PLIGHT.
WE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU HAD TO SUFFER THROUGH.
>> PITY MOORKS EVERYONE.
>> Stephen: YOU SENT ALONG SOME PHOTY.
>> IT'S VERY GLAM.
>> Stephen: WHERE IS THIS?
>> THIS IS MY AND WILL IN OUR DRESSING ROOM.
( CLEARS THROAT ) TRYING TO WARM IT UP WITH SOME
WOOD TO PUT IT INTO THE FIRE.
( LAUGHTER )
THIS IS WHERE WE WERE HANGING OUT WAITING TO COME OUTSIDE.
THIS IS THIS TINY LITTLE SHACK ON THE MOUNTAINTOP.
>> Stephen: EVERYBODY STILL HAVE THEIR FINGERS AND TOES AT
THE END OF THIS?
>> LAST I CHECKED, BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.
>> Stephen: THIS IS HOLDING, THE HOLD OOGHT GLAMMUOUS HOLDING
AREA.
>> THIS IS THE HOLDING AREA UP TOP ON THE ALPS.
FOR REAL!
I MEAN, IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THE CHAIR, I GOTTA TELL YOU.
>> Stephen: DID YOU GUYS HAVE OXYGEN?
>> THEY HAD OXYGEN THERE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU EVER HIT IT?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: NOT EVEN A LITTLE--
>> I'M TOUGH AS NAILS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> Stephen: I FORGOT PUP WORKED AS A SHERPA FOR MANY
YEARS, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: THIS IS-- THIS IS THE TRUEST PHOTOGRAPH.
THIS IS YOU JUST MISERABLY COLD.
>> BUT LOOK -- >> Stephen: WITH NOT ONE BUT--

AND WHAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING IS I'M ALSO SITTING ON A HOT WATER
BOTTLE.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: THAT'S NICE.
