>>> WELCOME BACK. NEW MOVIE, "THE ART OF RACING IN
THE RAIN," MILO VENT MEIMIGLIA I
RACER, AND THE MOVIE IS NARRATED
BY HIS DOG, ENZO.
HIS FIRST IMPRESSION OF AMANDA
SEYFRIED IS LESS THAN STELLAR.
>> ENZO, THIS IS EVE.
>> MYHI, ENZO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF EVE
WAS AS COMPLYICATED AS THE SCENT
IN THE AIR.
>> NOT SO MUCH A DOG PERSON.
>> PRODUCE, SHAMPOO, AND
PHEROMONES.
PHEROMONES. >> HE IS MORE PERSON THAN DOG.
>> DENNY WAS CLEARLY TAKEN WITH
HER GROOMING.
HER GROOMING. SHE PROBABLY BATHED EVERY DAY
FOR ALL I KNEW.
>> DOES HE ALWAYS STARE AT
PEOPLE LIKE THIS?
>> IF HE LIKES THEM.
>> WE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE
VOICE, RIGHT?
VOICE, RIGHT? THE VOICE OF ENZO THE DOG, KEVIN
COSTNER, SO PERFECT.
>> IT IS EXCITING.
I MEAN, I’VE BEEN A FAN OF HIS
FOR A LONG TIME.
WE TALKED ABOUT IT, BUT WE
DIDN’T HAVE HIS VOICE ON SET.
HE DID HIS JOB AFTER WE SHOT THE
MOVIE, BUT SO EXCITING.
>> WHEN YOU SAW IT ALL COME
TOGETHER AT THE PREMIERE, WERE
YOU FLIPPING OUT?
>> IT WAS SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN
I EXPECTED WITH KEVIN’S VOICE
CONSTANTLY CUTTING BACK FROM OUR
REAL LIFE TO WHAT THE DOG IS --
>> WHEN WE’RE FILMING, IT IS
LIKE THERE ARE CLICKS AND
CHICKENS THROWN TO THE DOGS AND
LITTLE STICKS, TENNIS BALLS.
>> ALL THE TIME.
>> BACON ON IT.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> ACTUALLY, IT IS INTERESTING,
THE DOGS ARE INCREDIBLE.
>> PHENOMENAL.
>> PHENOMENAL. >> GREAT ACTORS.
>> THEY ARE.
I MEAN, IT WAS WHAT THEY WERE
DIRECTED TO DO BY OUR TRAINERS,
BUT PARKER AND BUTLER, OUR
2-YEAR-OLD AND 9-YEAR-OLD, THEY
WERE JUST DOING THINGS THAT
INSTINCTUALLY WORKED.
INSTINCTUALLY WORKED. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> YOU COULDN’T TRAIN IT.
THEY WERE JUST RESPONDING AND
REACTING TO BOTH AMANDA AND I.
>> AS AN ACTOR, YOU’RE LOOKING
INTO YOUR CO-STAR’S EYES, IN
THIS CASE, IT’S A DOG.
DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE GETTING
SOMETHING?
SOMETHING? >> OH, YEAH.
THERE’S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
YOU AND PARKER.
>> I SEE WHAT HAPPENED THERE,
MILO.
MILO. YOU’RE LIKE THE DOG.
>> OR THE DOG IS LIKE A HUMAN.
EITHER WAY.
EITHER WAY. >> IF PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THIS, IT
WAS A BOOK, "THE ART OF RACING
IN THE RAIN."
>> YOU LOVED THIS BOOK BEFORE
YOU HEARD ABOUT THE MOVIE.
>> IT WAS A BEST-SELLER.
GIVE IT TO ME.
I KIND OF BECAME A DOG PERSON
AFTER THE BOOK.
>> REALLY?
>> REALLY? >> LESS THAN TWO YEARS LATER, I
GOT BEN.
GOT BEN. LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER.
>> WHEN YOU HEARD THEY’RE MAKING
A MOVIE, WERE YOU LIKE, OKAY, I
HAVE TO BE IN THIS MOVIE?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I WAS BORN FOR THIS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO
DO WITH MY TIME.
YEAH, IT WAS PERFECT.
LUCKILY, THEY LIKED ME FOR THE
ROLE.
ROLE. >> AMANDA WAS THE FIRST NAME I
HAD HEARD TO PLAY EVE.
BEFORE THEY GOT HER LAST NAME
OUT, AMANDA SEY -- I WAS LIKE,
OH, YES, 100%, YES.
>> MILO, YOU WERE IN THE MIDDLE
OF "THIS IS US," AND AS I
UNDERSTAND IT, THEY GAVE YOU
THIS SCRIPT.
THIS SCRIPT. THEY WERE LIKE, WE NEED AN
ANSWER TONIGHT.
ANSWER TONIGHT. >> PRETTY MUCH.
JUST GOT HOME FROM WORK, AND
THEY SAID, READ IT TONIGHT.
IF YOU LIKE IT, WE’RE GOING TO
GO GET IT.
THERE ARE A FEW OTHER GUYS IN
THE MIX, BUT WE’RE GOING TO GO
GET IT.
GET IT. I READ IT, AND I WAS LIKE, THIS
IS AMAZING.
IS AMAZING. YEAH, THEY GOT IT.
MY GUYS GOT IT.
>> IT’S CALLED "THE ART OF
RACING IN THE RAIN."
OBVIOUSLY, CAR RACING IS IN THE
BACK DROP.
BACK DROP. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> IT IS NOT LIKE A STUNT MOVIE.
IT IS REALLY ABOUT LIFE MORE
THAN ANYTHING, BUT DID YOU KIND
OF LEARN ABOUT CAR RACING IN
THAT?
THAT? >> I DID.
>> I DID. I WAS BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD OF
RACING.
RACING. YOU KNOW, I PRETTY MUCH TOOK THE
EXISTENCE OF A RACE CAR DRIVER,
LAID IT ON TOP OF BEING AN
ACTOR.
ACTOR. IT’S THE SAME THING, YOU HAVE TO
HAVE FOCUS, DETERMINATION, AND A
LOT OF HEART TO DO WHAT THESE
GUYS AND GALS DO BEHIND THE
WHEEL.
WHEEL. IT IS REALLY, REALLY IMPRESSIVE.
FOR ME, MOSTLY, IT WAS A FILM
ABOUT A FATHER AND HIS DAUGHTER.
IT’S A FILM ABOUT A HUSBAND AND
HIS WIFE.
HIS WIFE. IT WAS A FILM ABOUT A FAMILY
THAT WAS GIVING THE BEST EXAMPLE
OF HOW A FAMILY SHOULD BE, TO
THIS DOG SO HE COULD IMPRINT HIS
SOUL AND HAVE A BETTER LIFE WHEN
HE IS A HUMAN IN HIS NEXT LIFE.
>> IT IS INTERESTING, TOO,
BECAUSE IT IS A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> WE SAW IT IN THE CLIP.
YOU’RE SEEING THE DOG-EYE VIEW.
PHYSICALLY, YOU’RE SEEING IT,
BUT YOU’RE ALSO HEARING HIS
PERSPECTIVE, WHICH IS A NEW WAY
TO LOOK AT LIFE EVENTS.
>> IT IS A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE.
A LOT OF US WHO LOVE ANIMALS,
DOG OWNERS, WANT TO KNOW WHAT
OUR DOGS ARE THINKING, AND WE
PROJECT IT ALL THE TIME.
THIS IS WHAT WE DID.
I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE GOT IT
RIGHT IN SOME WAYS.
I MEAN, WHO KNOWS?
BUT IT IS SO FUNNY TO HEAR THAT
PERSPECTIVE.
PERSPECTIVE. IT REALLY BRINGS THE FILM, YOU
KNOW, BACK TO LIFE.
>> IT IS FUNNY.
IT IS TOUCHING.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> ALL THE FEELS.
>> IT IS ALL OF IT.
YOU’LL LAUGH.
YOU’LL LAUGH. YOU’LL CRY.
YOU’LL CRY. IT’S EVERYTHING.
IT’S EVERYTHING. >> EVERYTHING ALL WRAPPED UP IN
A TWO-HOUR MOVIE.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR LITTLE
DAUGHTER.
DAUGHTER. SHE’S 2 1/2 NOW.
>> YEAH, SHE’S 2 1/2.
WE SPENT MOST OF THE YEAR ON THE
FARM THIS YEAR.
SHE’S GETTING THE LIFE I ALWAYS
WANTED.
WANTED. I HOPE SHE’S HAPPY.
YEAH, IT’S SO FUN.
>> I KNOW.
THE LITTLE ONES ARE THE BEST.
EXHAUSTING BUT FUN.
>> EXHAUSTING BUT FUN, AND ALSO
LIKE ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE.
I THOUGHT FINN’S PERSPECTIVE WAS
EVERYTHING, AND SHE’S SHOWING ME
THE WORLD IN A WAY I’D NEVER
SEEN IT BEFORE.
HOW LUCKY AM I?
>> IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
IT IS LIKE THE GIFT YOU UNWRAP
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> EVERY SINGLE DAY IS
DIFFERENT, YEAH.
DIFFERENT, YEAH. >> MILO, WE’RE ROOTING FOR YOU
AT THE EMMYS.
NOMINATED FOR LEAD ACTOR.
WERE YOU SURPRISED?
>> ACTUALLY, I WAS SURPRISED
THIS YEAR.
THIS YEAR. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT ACTORS,
AND I THOUGHT GOING INTO OUR
FOURTH YEAR, IT IS NOT GOING TO
COME MY WAY, BUT IT DID, AND I’M
PROUD TO REPRESENT THE GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT COLLABORATE FOR
JACK.
JACK. I’M THE FACE MAN, BUT THERE’S
GOT TO BE WORDS THAT ARE WRITTEN
THAT I HAVE TO SPEAK.
THERE’S GOT TO BE CLOTHES AND
HAIR AND MAKEUP AND EVERYTHING
THAT GETS PUT ON.
WE ALL PUT JACK TOGETHER.
I’M JUST THE GUY REPRESENTING.
>> YOU GUYS ARE SUCH A PLEASURE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I CAN SEE WHY IT WAS WORKING IN
THE MOVIE.
THE MOVIE. >> TOTALLY WORKS.
