I'M HERE TO PUNISH YOU.
ALL RIGHT, ACTOR GUY PEARCE
JOINS US NOW.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> Jason: "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
SHOW.
ASSESSMENT?
IT IS DARK MATERIAL.
THIS IS HEAVY STUFF.
>> YEAH, IT IS HEAVY STUFF.
AND SOME OF IT GETS GRUESOME AT
TIMES.
ASIDE FROM THE GRUESOME ASPECT,
I THINK THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
TORMENT THAT EXISTS WITHIN THE
FABRIC OF THE MOVIE IS PRETTY
HEAVY AS WELL.
SO, YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE WHY
PEOPLE MIGHT CALL IT A WESTERN
HORROR SHOW.
>> Jason: YOU'RE PLAYING A
FATHER TO DAKOTA FANNING'S
CHARACTER AND YOU TALK ABOUT
PURSUING HERE, IT'S INTENSE!
>> I PLAY THE REVEREND OF THE
TOWN AND I'M DAKOTA'S FATHER IN
THE FILM.
AND, YOU KNOW, HE'S A CHARACTER
WHO REALLY BELIEVES WHAT HE
READS TO THE POINT WHERE HE IS
ABLE TO TWIST THOSE WORDS AND
MANIPULATE THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM
AND HE CANNOT COPE WITH THE FACT
THAT SHE STANDS UP TO HIM AND
FAMILY.
AND HE'S JUST SO SORT OF
MANIACAL AND HAS THE ABILITY TO
LOOK AT HIS OWN BEHAVIOR, THAT
IT LEADS TO A VERY POWERFUL
DYNAMIC BETWEEN THE TWO.
TO THE SCREEN AND GREAT
VULNERABILITY AND STRENGTH YOU
SEE THROUGH THE STORY.
>> Jason: SPEAKING OF FAMILY,
THIS TURNED INTO, THE PROJECT,
TURNED INTO A FAMILY AFFAIR FOR
YOU.
YOU'RE A NEW FATHER,
CONGRATULATIONS!
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MONTE.
AND WE BEGIN A NEW FAMILY.
>> Jason: INTERESTING TO HAVE
THAT DARK UNDERCURRENT OR TONE
TO THE MOVIE AND HAVE SOMETHING
SO LIFE AFFIRMING AND JOYOUS
COME OUT OF THAT PROJECT AND NOW
IT'S ARRIVING ON SCREEN AND YOU
HAVE A 6-MONTH-OLD.
MUST BE INTERESTING FOR YOU.
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY, IT'
FASCINATING, AND I'M HERE
PROMOTING THE MOREOVER AND
THINKING BACK TO THOSE TIMES AND
WHAT A DARK STORY THIS IS.
IT WILL BE SO WEIRD WHEN HE'S
OLD ENOUGH TO WATCH THIS MOVIE.
>> Jason: WHAT WOULD SOMEBODY B
SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YO
SMALLER MOVIES LIKE THIS MOVIE,
YOU'RE JUST A FEW YEARS OLDER
THAN ME, WHAT'S YOUR POP CULTURE
GUILTY SECRET.
YOU HAVE KING KONG MOVIE
COMING OUT TODAY.
HORROR?
WHAT DOES SOMEBODY NOT KNOW
ABOUT YOU?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
MENTIONING KING KONG, ONE OF THE
FIRST MOVIES I SAW WAS A KING
KONG MOVIE.
EVERY FEW YEARS, THEY BRING OUT
ANOTHER ONE, AND THAT REALLY
STRUCK A CHORD WITH ME WHEN I
WAS A SMALL BOY.
I DON'T KNOW IF MY MOTHER SHOULD
HAVE TAKEN ME WHEN I WAS 7.
>> YOU MUST BE REFERRING TO THE
1976 REMAKE WITH JESSICA LANGE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
>> Jason: IT'S IN THEATERS
