WELCOME BACK TO "THE LATE SHOW."
FOLKS, MY FIRST GUEST TONIGHT IS THE ACADEMY AWARD WINNING
ACTRESS YOU KNOW FROM THE "THE BIG LEBOWSKI," "GAME CHANGE" AND
"STILL ALICE."
HER NEW FILM IS "SUBURBICON."
>> UM, WHAT WAS THAT WORD?
EXCUSE ME?
YOU SAID IT ALL BOILED DOWN TO ONE WORD?
>> DID I?
OH, YES.
YES.
IT ALL BOILSZ DOWN TO ONE WORD-COINCIDENCE.
THAT HAPPENS IN THE OPERA A LOT.
>> COINCIDENCE.
YEAH, IT GETS RIDICULOUS.
BUT IN REAL LIFE, DOESN'T HAPPEN THAT MUCH.
>> I GUESS IF IT DID IT WOULD STOP BEING A COINCIDENCE.
>> IT'S NOT THE POLICY, IT'S THE CLAIM.
A COINCIDENCE ON A CLAIM IS LIKE A LITTLE RED FLAG THAT MAKES US
SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE AND THIS CLAIM HAS A BUNCH OF LITTLE RED
FLAGS ON IT.
>> WHAT KIND OF RED FLAG?
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME JULIANNE MOORE!
JULIANNE >> HI!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) MY GOODNESS!
>> Stephen: IT'S LOVELY TO SEEIO.
SEEYOU.
LOVELY TO SEE YOU, TOO.
>> Stephen: ANY MOVIE YOU'RE IN, I SAY, JULIANNE MOORE IS IN
THAT!
>> AGAIN.
>> Stephen: WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW.
YOU'RE SUCH A WONDERFUL ACTRESS.
YOU'VE GOT YOUR OSCAR, YOUR EMMY, BUT YOU'VE GOT AN
INTERESTING HONOR COMING UP I THINK ABOUT TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.
I JUST GOT AN INVITATION.
YOU'RE BEING HONORED BY MOMA, THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART IS
HONORING YOU.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE CONSIDERED MODERN ART?
YOU'RE A SITE-SPECIFIC INSTALLATION.
>> IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, SO I'LL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN I GET
THERE, I GUESS.
>> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE TO DO ANYTHING?
>> ONCE I'M INSTALLED.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YOU WANT A NICE SIMPLE FRAME AROUND YOU.
>> MAYBE THE SCULPTURE GARDEN.
>> Stephen: THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: GETTING COLD.
GETTING COLD, EXACTLY.
UH-HUH.
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU KNOW, I KNOW IT MUST BE FUN FOR YOU
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU LIVE IN NEW YORK.
>> I DO, YEAH.
>> Stephen: BUT ARE YOU FROM NEW YORK?
>> HUH-UH.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
MY DAD WAS IN THE ARMY SO WE MOVED ALL AROUND THE UNITED
STATES AND LIVED IN EUROPE.
>> Stephen: HOW MANY PLACES AS A CHILD DID YOU LIVE?
>> I WENT TO NINE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PLACES.
I THINK WE MOVED 23 TIMES ALTOGETHER.
SOUNDS LIKE BAD NEWS, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: AND NINE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.
SO FOR 14 OF THOSE YOU GOT NO EDUCATION.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: IT MUST BE A CHALLENGE AS A CHILD TO MAKE ALL
THE CHANGES, BUT YOU GOT TO REINVENT YOURSELF.
DID THAT HELP YOU BE AN ACTRESS?
>> YOU GET OBSERVANT AND ADAPTABLE.
>> Stephen: DID YOU LIE WHEN YOU GOT TO THE NEW PLACE AND
MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT YOUR PAST?
>> NO, NO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: ARE YOU LYING TO
ME RIGHT NOW?
BECAUSE I WOULD DO THAT.
WOULDN'T YOU?
I HAD SO MANY FANTASIES AS A CHILD, I WOULD GET TO MOVE TO A
NEW TOWN.
I WOULD SAY, YEAH, WELL, MY DAD, HE'S IN THE MAFIA.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
( LAUGHTER ) WELL, I HAD EXOTIC MOVES.
LIKE I LIVED IN ALASKA AND MOVED TO NEW YORK.
>> Stephen: THAT MUST HAVE HELPED YOU.
>> RESEARCH, YEAH.
BUT PEOPLE WOULD SAY THINGS LIKE DID YOU LIVE IN AN IGLOO AND
THAT KIND OF STUFF NU THE ANSWER, OF COURSE, IS YES.
>> YES!
WHERE ELSE DO YOU LIVE IN ALASKA?
>> Stephen: DID YOU EVER LIVE IN AN IGLOO?
>> YES!
( LAUGHTER ) NO.
>> Stephen: NO, YOU DID NOT.
NO.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: BESIDES ALASKA TO
NEW YORK, MUST HAVE BEEN A HUGE CULTURE SHOCK.
WAS THAT THE BIGGEST, SORT OF?
>> NO, WE MOVED TO GERMANY FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA WHEN I WAS 16.
AND I HAD NEVER BEEN ON A LONG INTERNATIONAL PLANE RIDE.
IT WAS AN OLD ARMY PLANE SO IT TOOK 14 HOURS AND YOU'RE SO
EXCITED AND DON'T SLEEP AND I WOULD HAVE TO GET UP AND GO TO
THE BATHROOM AND STAND IN THERE FOR A WHILE AND LOOK AT MYSELF
IN THE MIRROR AND SAY, OH, MY GOD, THIS IS HAPPENING.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD?
16.
TOO OLD TO BE TOO DRAMATIC ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: DID YOU PICK UP ANY DEUTSCHE?
>> I LEONARD LITTLE GERMAN BUT IT'S NOT VERY GOOD.
>> Stephen: CAN I ASK YOU ABOUT A GREAT ROLE YOU PLAYED,
SARAH PALIN.
>> YEAH.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: DID THAT SEEM LIKE
SUCH A CALM AND SIMPLER TIME FOR THIS COUNTRY?
>> IT SEEMS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE BECAUSE THAT WAS JUST LIKE A
LITTLE NEAR MISS, LIKE WHOOPS!
>> Stephen: IS THERE ANYBODY IN THE PRESENT POLITICAL CLIMATE
YOU WOULD LIKE TO PLAY?
LIKE, OH, I WANT TO BE THAT PERSON?
>> NO, I DON'T THINK WE'RE FINDING ANY OF THIS VERY
ENTERTAINING, RIGHT?
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) ( PIANO RIFF )
>> Stephen: WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TIME FOR ANY PROJECTS RIGHT
NOW BECAUSE YOU'RE AWFULLY BUSY.
YOU'RE HERE FOR TWO MOVIES RIGHT NOW.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: "WONDER STRUCK" BUT ALSO "SUBURBICON" WHICH
COMES OUT TOMORROW.
>> RIGHT, ON THE HALLOW WEEKEND.
>> Stephen: DO YOU DRESS UP?
I DRESS UP EVERY DAY.
( LAUGHTER ) NO, ACTORS, I FEEL LIKE AS AN
ACTOR THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS DRESS UP.
>> Stephen: IT'S A BUSSMAN'S HOLIDAY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: YOU PLAY TWINS IN THIS ONE, IDENTICAL TWINS, WHICH
YOU'VE DONE BEFORE.
>> YES, I'VE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH TWIN PLAYING.
>> Stephen: COULD YOU TELL THE PEOPLE YOU EXPERIENCE PLAYING
TWINS BEFORE.
>> I PLAYED TWINS ON "AS THE WORLD TURNS," FIRST BIG JOB
STARTING OUT.
( APPLAUSE ) THEY WERE HALF SISTERS AND
COUSINS, WHICH IS KIND OF DISGUSTING BECAUSE IT MEANS
THEIR MOMS WERE SISTERS AND THEY HAD THE SAME DAD.
>> Stephen: THEY'RE IDENTICAL HALF SISTER COZ SENTENCE.
>> YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
>> Stephen: BUT I THINK IS THE PLOT OF THE PATTY DUKE SHOW.
>> I THINK SO.
>> Stephen: AND DO WE STILL HAVE THIS?
WE HAVE A CLIP OF YOU PLAYING YOUR OWN TWIN.
>> I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOU FOR MONTHS NOW.
>> WHY HAVE YOU BEEN FOLLOWING NEE?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
>> I JUST WANTED TO FIND YOU.
I SAW YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CUSTOMS AT HEATHROW.
NOW THAT YOU SEE HOW ALIKE WE ARE, I'M SURE YOU UNDERSTAND
WHY.
>> WHY HAVE YOU BEEN THREATENING ME?
>> I HAVEN'T.
DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
YO>> YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE FRIGHTENED OF ME.
( LAUGHTER ) ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: BEAUTIFUL.
TWO DISTINCT, COMPLETELY DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS.
>> WOW, TALK ABOUT HALLOWEEN, HUH?
>> Stephen: YEAH.
I COULD GO AS THOSE GUYS.
>> Stephen: BUT WHICH ONE?
MAYBE THE ONE AT THE WINDOW, TRIPLETS, THE SHADOW.
I WANT TO SELL TICKETS TO "SUBURBICON."
I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A FAIRLY SPICEY SCENE IN THE MOY BETWEEN
YOU AND MATT DAMON THAT INVOLVES A PING-PONG TABLE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US THE CHALLENGES OF SHOOTING A
SPICEY SCENE AND HOW DOES THE PING-PONG PADDLE.
>> SOMEBODY IS SMACKING SOMEONE WITH A PING-PONG PADDLE.
I JUST HAD TO MAKE THE NOISE, NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE STUNT
PART.
MATT DAMON JUST HIT HIMSELF BECAUSE -- THAT'S HOW HE LIKES
IT.
>> Stephen: IN THE MOVIE IF WE SEE A BUTT, IT'S MATT DAMON'S.
>> HE WAS TRYING TO SPARE HITTING ME AND HITTING HIMSELF
AND DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS BRUISED UNTIL HE GOT HOME.
>> Stephen: HARD TO EXPLAIN.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: LOVELY SEEING YOU.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
"SUBURBICON" IN THEATERS TOMORROW!
JULIANNE MOORE, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
