>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY!
WE'RE HERE WITH THE LOVELY AND TALENTED HUGH JACKMAN!
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT SOME ACTORS THAT YOU'VE LEARNED FROM.
OBVIOUSLY, OUR DEAR FRIEND AND YOURS, IAN MCKELLEN, OBVIOUSLY,
MAGNETO FOR MANY YEARS, HIM AND PATRICK STEWART, YOU CALLED THEM
YOUR AT THIS NIRO AND PACINO.
WHWHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM THE BY SHARING THE SCREEN?
>> IAN IS A THEATRICAL BEAST, SO I WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE THEATER
AS WELL.
IT WAS ONE OF MY VERY FIRST FILMS AND HE SAYS, HUGH, DEAR
BOY, IT'S GOING TO FEEL REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE.
WHEN YOU'RE ON ACTING ON FILM FEELS UNCOMFORTABLE BUT IT WILL
LOOK RIGHT, JUST GO WITH IT.
I ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE WHEN YOU BEGIN IN FILM, IT'S
STOP-START, IT'S VERY WEIRD.
YOU'RE NEVER ACTING MORE THAN A MINUTE AT A TIME.
YOU HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR FACE, CAMERA, LIGHTS, IT FEELS WEIRD.
PATRICK, I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM PATRICK, THE GREATEST TIP HE
GAVE ME ABOUT LIFE ITSELF, NOT SO MUCH ACTING, HE SAID I
LEARNED WHEN I WAS ABOUT 16, WISH I HAD LEARNED I WAS
YOUNGER, I GIVE MYSELF TIME AT THE BEGINNING.
IF HE HAS A 5:00 CALL, HE WAKES UP AT 4:00, WAKES UP WITH A CUP
OF TEA, COMES BACK WITH HIS FAVORITE BOOK, HE SAYS, I JUST
READ A BOOK LIKE A NOVEL, SO I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
FOR THE REST OF THE DAY, I'VE HAD A HALF HOUR.
BECAUSE EVERYONE THINKS, OH, I'LL DO IT AFTER WORK OR GO
HOME, BUT LIFE ALWAYS GETS AWAY FROM YOU.
SO MY WIFE AND I WAKE UP EVERY MORNING AND WE GO GET A CUP OF
TEA, COFFEE FOR ME, AND WE SIT IN BED AND WE JUST READ.
>> Stephen: THAT'S LOVELY.
YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.
>> Stephen: NO, I TOTALLY BELIEVE YOU.
I WANT TO DO IT, I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET UP EARLY.
>> IT'S GREAT ADVICE.
>> Stephen: IAN, THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT IAN IS GOING TO
PLAY HAMLET AT AGE 82, WITH I IS OBVIOUSLY IT'S A YOUNG MAN'S
PART, BUT PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED TO SEE HIS INTERPRETATION,
RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IF YOU COULD PLAY ANY PART REGARDLESS OF AGE OR
GENDER OR WHAT WE THINK OF WOULD BE A NORMAL CAST IN THIS PART,
WHAT WOULD YOU -- >> HE'S 82, WHO'S PLAYING HIS
MOTHER?
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SURE.
LILLIAN GISH.
( LAUGHTER ) >> ANY PART I WOULD LIKE TO
PLAY.
>> Stephen: YES.
KING LEAR IS THE ONE FOR ME.
>> Stephen: I COULD SEE THAT.
THAT WOULD BE THE ONE FOR ME.
( APPLAUSE ) AND BILL MURRAY'S CHARACTER IN
CADDY SHACK, THAT'S THE OTHER ONE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: SURE, DALAI LAMA.
ABSOLUTELY.
WHICH WOULD BE MORE CHALLENGING, LARRY OR THE GROUNDS --
KING LEAR OR THE GROUNDS KEEPER?
>> THE GROUNDS KEEPER.
( LAUGHTER ) WHEN I WAS AUDITIONING FOR DRAMA
SCHOOL, YOU DO A MODERN CLASSIC WHICH WOULD BE SHAKESPEARE AND A
MODERN PIECE.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE ABOUT TO TELL ME SOMETHING I CAN'T
BELIEVE.
>> THERE WERE 17 OF US IN A ROOM AND THIS GUY GETS UP AND SAYS,
YES, I'M GOING TO DO THE GROUNDSKEEPER FROM CADDY SHACK,
AND EVERYONE IS GIGGLING, AND THE GUY GOES, NO, IT'S A
CLASSIC.
HE GOES, DUDE, HAVE YOU SEEN THAT MOVIE?
IT'S A CLASSIC!
( LAUGHTER ) HE ALMOST GOT IN ON THE SPOT.
>> Stephen: I LOVE IT.
THE NEW MOVIE IS CALLED "REMINISCENCE," WRITTEN AND
DIRECTED BY LISA JOY WHO IS ONE OF THE CREATORS OF "WESTWORLD."
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE MOVIE ABOUT.
>> HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN "WESTWORLD"?
>> Stephen: EVERYONE.
MART, SO IT'S GOT A LOT OF THAT TONE, VERY SMART SCI-FI,
BUT IT'S GOT ACTION, AS YOU SAW, A LITTLE BIT OF A LOVE STORY AND
A SUSPENSE THRILLER, SET IN THE FUTURE.
I'M LIKE A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR OF THE MIND.
A REMINISCENT MACHINE ALLOWS YOU TO GO AND RELIVE MEMORIES,
LITERALLY TOUCH AND FEEL.
>> Stephen: SO YOU COULD GIVE THEM TO ME.
>> BUT I HAVE TO GUIDE YOU IN SO YOU DON'T GO INTO DARK TERRITORY
AND YOU SAFELY ARRIVE AT THAT MEMORY, NOT SOMETHING ELSE, AND
THAT'S MY JOB.
VERY EARLY ON A WOMAN COMES IN PLAYED BY REBECCA FERGUSON,
SHE'S LITERALLY USING THE MACHINE TO GET HER LOST CAR
KEYS.
SHE SAID, I JUST WANT TO FIND THEM.
I INSTANTLY FALL IN LOVE AND START A ROMANCE AND SHE
DISAPPEARS AND THAT'S THE END.
THAT'S EARLY ON IN THE MOVIE.
AND THEN MY TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED IS REALLY WHAT THE
STORY IS ABOUT.
I GO INTO THIS DARK PART OF THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD ITSELF IS
MIAMI IN THE FUTURE, IT'S PRETTY MUCH UNDERWATER.
CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTED THE CLIMATE SO THAT EVERYONE LIVES
AT NIGHT.
TO THE UNDERWORLD HAPPENS IN THE BROAD, DARK, STARLIGHT.
IT WILL BE LIKE NOTHING YOU'VE EVER SEEN.
>> Stephen: LOVELY TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> GOOD TO SEE YOU, MAN.
>> Stephen: REMINISCENS WILL BE IN THEATERS AND ON HBO MAX ON
AUGUST 20th!
THE MAN IS HUGH JACKMAN, EVERYBODY!
BA WITH A SPECIAL ROOFTOP PERFORMANCE BY LORDE!
