>> Well this is a heck of a cast and a heck of a movie it
is.
On ride. I mean this thing takes off like a rocket and the
premise is amazing that in you can take a pill have a
superpower but you don’t know
how it’s going to turn out, you know, I mean it it could be the
last bill you ever take. What was that attracted you
guys to this to this movie.
Well, I’m just going to say the people that you see on the
screen.
>> Is the most attractive, I don’t care what we could be
playing typically winks Zinni these guys I’ll talk about
dominate this pet persons just listen. She will be on someone
states. I’d like to thank the members. I think they can you
be doing that at one point this young horse comes in it just
takes a part of Robin who’s this girl that. And I’m me
and we go on this incredible journey without getting too far
down those boy lead when I saw him, I know, he’s built his
you’ve got my eyes.
>> I was in the areas that they’re directors because you
don’t know he was and it is going to test of that these
acts you they’re not going to come because he listened to to
to mean Joseph.
It’s just the person who I’ve always loved does is work and
when I got a chance to work with these guys said I’m in a
1000 was in the back of this don’t movie. A drug that you
could take that would give you superpowers who doesn’t want to
peek into that.
>> I want to echo everything he said I remember the first day
we met I remember the moment, you’re talking about man and I
was feeling like can I really pull this off and playing a
detective from New Orleans, I’m wearing cowboy boots, this is
different to me that’s what I like about being an actor is
playing someone different from myself but can I really pull
this off and he was just so positive and encouraging and he
was back there behind the monitor just cheering and I was
like if Jamie Foxx bills is positive. I’m feeling confident
his work ever since you know ever since and living color all
through Ray Jango I mean this is you really an icon and some
always looked up to and so yeah when I read this script.
I saw was him and then I got to meet Dominique and I just want
to echo everything Jamie just said it this is if you like
movies, acting actors and see project power for no other
reason then to learn about Dominique this back that’s
>> So the Dominique this. Let’s do something and you’re
richer.
listening to these guys that acting icon says is singing
your praise value right now.
>> Some like of be much thankful that usual because I’m
kind of trying to hear it, but I hear that I there’s no let
you know because I’ve been he let fly for a long time from
his Manhattan from Brooklyn N not a lot of people that I know
that see it on lap. Let me that heat comes to to to this except
that and less to do so if you are a union delegate, not only
that but when I when I went to the polls that tax rate can it
get any better and then on set with them late. Jamie taught me
that you know we do have to love how I say it is to make
everybody laugh at you know like he come set he brings a
unique opportunity. Parties you never like to say I played east
of us thought okay what do I have decided that I could do
that you know most of them but at the end it for also how well
can I take from working with what I take from Rick with
>> And by the way down the guy just looking at my dad used to
them.
drive a bus out of the East New York people I used to go there
ride the bus with all the cuts that little connection. So give
me tell so explain this movie in the immediate it’s a
fascinating concept and it’s one of those besides being just
a fun ride it actually makes you think.
>> Well, you know what it does because it talks about things
that we that we hear we hear about you know drugs but to
have this sort of element. On top of the human element,
you know of this drug on the street that I’m chasing this as
a cop trying to find out who’s pushing these drugs, there’s a
difficult election for me is will my daughter
but only give away too much of my daughter has something to do
with being a person who was tested.
superhuman superhuman Street or the superhero love DNA, so you
see me it reminds me this.
The old incredible Hulk series where
he’s just on as your you know trying to find something so as
he as he as he follows this journey into new ones. Once it
to Dominique who’s playing Robin and she’s that you know
since she’s pushing to push in power to push power industry
and so they become sort of like this.
ever since he had a relationship that duo to wear.
He’s you know, she’s at a crossroads you the crossroad
she’s 7 in the EU needs are and then not that I’m saying I
don’t know, but we end up do we have that we do need each other
and she teaches me, you know about looking beyond you know
just what’s in front of him
and then I teach or do you know that the power that you possess
that I mean that I think that’s what makes it different,
you know, it’s not like a superhero film it’s a it’s a
human issue.
You know humanity in this will be your elems on top of it and
then we see jewels were live. And I think you know, I’m
watching the trailer just the trailer alone in my daughter’s
like dad.
>> He’s the co, let’s.
>> The scene was OK with it, but you notice that I was a
traitor and people go to the trailer, so you’ll be ready.
Joseph gordon-levitt is but that is shot towards isn’t
something miraculous happens and then we saw the goal of we
do some something else is in the water, so you know sort of
these little trap doors that you open and I know he’s a
great things and it makes great great movement great snow.
>> And I love about the film.
You can really appreciate both of those levels is this
incredible visuals and spectacle in the thrill ride of
it but underneath it really is asking some pertinent questions
that you know it’s not going to hit you over the head with any
messages but ask you who has the power in this world and why
and is is that fair and
these are questions that I think it’s good we’re all
asking ourselves nowadays so.
>> I like those movies that you can be fun, but it can also
spark a conversation if you want to I was when I was
watching it really to me in this moment, right now,
where we are as a country.
Even though you said this is a superhero movie but it it
mirrors a lot of what’s happening in our country right
now.
>> Yeah, if you think about it in 2018 this is when we did the
challenges that we had now I’ve been on the front lines.
At at the at the at the protests in Minneapolis.
Houston, San Francisco. And so to have the words to be in
saying sate said in will be of it. You know that it’s like I
say great artist pay attention to what what is going on around
them. And so it’s not like I said it’s not a movie that was
set out to be about what is going on, but it it has a
little bit of that in but I will tell you, I’m encouraged
about this movement occurs about going to Minnesota.
The first day of the protest to get getting there and seen my
kids young Martian threw me off. I asked him what was up
know what white here in found out that their first record was
the public about that the president obama wasn’t a big
deal to them because they thought we should have black we
should have won.
Jet so that hurts me on that front and I think with this
week comes along at a good time I think we do need we do need a
little bit of statements we do need some something that we can
just watch and sort of decompress because I said we
were talking earlier before we start shooting pandemic being
in laplace you know, I’m blessed but I know that that
everybody still dealing with this in the hallway, so this is
you know this would be a good opportunity for them to sort of
escape a couple of them.
>> Jane, we tell the story you told me the other day about
when you are taking a new those police officers because you
know I lease officer in this movie. And like you said in
2018, we didn’t know that there would be these discussions on
the forefront of everybody’s minds about police brutality
and police accountability and I just found it really moving
what you what you said had been when you when you are with all
those caps.
>> What is this speaks to a bigger things based. What we
see in a media like you know. We went to these protests
wholeheartedly wanting change but at the same time. You know
I have these relationships, these great police, the great
police officers and we know of 50 of us and we we we know that
we hugged each other and we
made a commitment to 71 to check in and in turn can was
put on that will put all these different things that we really
positive like you know the peaceful Park in San Francisco
has 30,000 members. You know, and it was peaceful and you
know sometimes you know the sort of summations the most of
a single being reported so
that the said you know it it was to me it was all hands on
deck. I said we got to see this and we’ve got to do it together
and what was great about those police officers that was the
admittance the admittance that there was something wrong and
that is the need that we need to change so we will continue
to do. You know continue to do great work in my blood drop it
like this. There’s a thing called the remember me campaign
that will be doing in the remember me campaign exist.
Police officer says we don’t like kids hanging out having a
good time.
Kids 8, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years old so that remember me is what
they can become 1780 in his community and the cop rules and
that kid grows may be that they can gets into a little trouble
but that caught now sees that kid says I remember you from
the summer that that that is so now we start to build in so.
>> And I greater I mean look but it comes down to
a human connection and in this movie you know you’re talking
about a super human connection that that can go awry very
easily.
>> Yes, and that’s the day and money doesn’t he knew what was
going on she she so that doesn’t he give a given.
Well, the fact that you actually know what the drug is
capabilities.
I would say like your care to actually knew what the drug
what the drug the other side of what the drug does what what
brought that plane.
>> Yeah, and in the in the movie she said that he thought
the list and power and why I don’t know. Let’s see see what
he’s doing is the kind of steps away from it. I think he is
that aspect of somebody will representative person we might
have got to cut it up into doing something that might not
be I feel as you do it for we did and beyond what she said
that control and my everything’s are you know and
so this way we get to some light on people who are often
statistics we don’t get a face to that. So now we get a face
get up high. It’s not what you can about what you love has she
cares about people and I think that’s really important.
We have asked that.
>> And the movie Dominique your you earn aspiring rapper you
throw downs of stop and then it was it was this the first time
you’re after.
>> Known what was very expressive can one so I was 15.
I met a guy press on anywhere. But it spoken word, poet.
So I’ve been I’ve been doing also talk about it so yet an
asset we take a look around I see all the rest that I feel
good was just icing on the cake so and he backs in the class.
I’m just trying to keep that you know how to keep them as
all of the things I think it was on definitely a lot and and
I was doing this is by the together yes, it and coy.
And you get everyone around the world to contribute and musical
style of this issue until I back lies just living says
singers to come together meet once on this.
We have that power let everyone can come create a song to get
it that kids celebrate the release of the movie.
>> It comes out tomorrow.
What what do you want people to come away from when after they
watch this movie guys.
>> I mean I hope people come away feeling powerful,
new to me that’s that’s the sign of a great movie when I’m
walking out of the theater and granted people will be watching
this one at the others
walking away from the viewing experience feeling and live and
feel like I can do anything
my time and I feel like this this movie can
be that shot in the arm people.
>> I think that I will get super said about the different
powers that week speculate what it would be like to have a
pillow that can give you power. The good thing is that you get
another site where
you get to see that how is that an and so he could eat a lot of
neat how are you going to get out of the side so I’m out what
we actually have to get right now.
>> I’m I’m working on a pen.
>> This,
well before I let you go I would be remiss if I didn’t ask
if you could pick one super power. What would it be.
>> Heat where I decided that since we’re at it and why my
that I would be able to make it can’t taste sons and cast
spells so that I can have whatever any level in any it,
I mean it up.
>> I like, I’ll go to the power of empathy
like the ability to see through someone else’s eyes and hear
through someone else’s years and taste and touch and smell
and actually put myself in someone else’s shoes which is
what I’m always trying to do and I’m an actor up playing a
character’s different from myself but if I can take it to
that next level of the biggest superpower and really
experience someone else’s perspective.
>> I think I like that and then path.
I love man.
>> To spread love and I have a h*** o* that as it is already
argue that’s what you are right and it does make you forget
every day and we next thing you know we did is we have that at
the heart of things right and like whatever your favorite
food is people putting a hand it’s all a bit last bite.
I like us and we’re like you know I couldn’t let that one of
the corner I buy that not so it looked like a number of planets
and that’s what I have the love replenishing man.
>> Doesn’t quite roll off that.
>> I got to work on and not well Nancy would love met,
you know.
>> Guys thank you so much looking forward to the movie.
