SEAT SUSPENSE WHEN YOU SIT DOWN
TO WATCH A FILM, THERE'S A MOVIE
OPENING THIS WEEK THAT'S U YOUR
ALLEY.
JIM FERGUSON TALKED TO THE STARS
>> LET'S GO BACK TO SUNDAY OR
MONDAY ADAM WEST, THE ORIGINAL
BATMAN, HE WAS THE FIRST.
I THINK HE WAS THE MODEL FOR A
HIM.
WHEN YOU THINK OF BATMAN, I
ALWAYS THOUGHT OF ADAM WEST.
Alex: YOU ARE A MOVIE TIME,
ANYTIME A PROMINENT FIGURE IN
HOLLYWOOD PASSES WE LIKE TO GET
YOUR TAKE.
YOU SAY HE WAS AN ORIGINAL IN
>> RIGHT.
HE WAS A NICE GUY.
I INTERVIEWED HIM A NUMBER OF
YEARS AGO AND A GOOD GUY AND
REALIZED HIS CAREER WAS BATMAN.
IT WAS A SMART MOVE GO AROUND
AND LECTURING ABOUT BATMAN AND
EMBRACED THAT ROLE.
Alex: SHOWS HIS HUMILITY.
HE JUST EMBRACED WHAT HE DID AND
WHAT HE DID WELL AND LEFT AN
IMPRINT ON PEOPLE.
>> WE ARE GOING TO MISS ADAM.
Alex: WE WILL.
HE WAS THE ORIGINAL BATMAN.
THEY MADE OF COURSE, THE NEW BAT
MANS.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN ACTOR
TONIGHT IN A N BATMAN...
>> MATTHEW MODEINE NOMINATED
THREE TIMES FOR A GOLDEN GLOBE
AND WON ONE FOR SHORT CUTS.
HE'S IN A MOVIE CALLED 47 METERS
DOWN.
HE PLAYS CAPTAIN TAYLOR WHO RUNS
A RICKETY BOAT IN MEXICO THAT
HAS A CAGE ON IT AND TOURISTS
SHARKS.
ON IT WITH HIM IS YANI GELLMAN
... HE PLAYS A YOUNG MAN
IN MEXICO WHO CONVINCES MANDY
MOORE AND CLAIRE HOLT TO GO DOWN
INTO THE CAGE.
Alex: BAD IDEA.
>> HERE'S MATTHEW AND YANI.
>> WOULD YOU GUYS BOTH AGREE
THAT THIS FILM IS A TERRIFYING
STORY OF SURVIVAL?
>> YEAH, THAT'S A PRECISE WAY TO
DESCRIBE IT.
>> THANK YOU.
>> IT'S ALSO I FEEL LIKE
UNDERNEATH THAT, A METAPHOR FOR
BACK.
IT'S ABOUT THESE HUMANS WHO KIND
OF GO INTO A SITUATION WITHOUT
THE PROPER RESPECT OR TRAINING
AND NO REAL DEFERENCE TO YOU
KNOW THE SHARK'S ENVIRONMENT AND
THEY KIND OF SUFFER THE
CONSEQUENCES AND I HOPE THE
AUDIENCES COME AWAY FROM THE
FILM WITH THAT NOTION WE NEED TO
THINK ABOUT RESPECTING THE OCEAN
S AND PRESERVING THE OCEAN.
>> I AM GLAD YOU SAID THAT
BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER, LEWIS,
IT'S ALL HIS FAULT.
>> WAIT SECOND.
>> IT'S HIS WHOLE SITUATION, TWO
GIRLS END UP IN THIS SITUATION
BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER ENTICED
THEM TO DO THAT.
>> GOING ALONG THE METAPHOR, WE
ARE TRYING TO MAKE A BUCK BY
SHOWING THESE TOURISTS... WE
REALLY DO NEED TO TAKE OUR TIME
TO UNDERSTAND THE PLANET... HOW
FRAGILE THE PLANET IS.
>> I AGREE.
MATTHEW, YOUR CHARACTER, CAPTAIN
TAYLOR, WHAT CAN WE TELL ABOUT
HIM JUST BY LOOKING AT HIS BOAT.
>> HE'S AN EX PATRIOT AND
DOESN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY.
HE DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A MEAN
PERSON OR ALCOHOLIC OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT.
HE'S SOMEBODY TRYING TO MAKE
ENDS MEET.
YOU KNOW, IN THE SCRIPT, HIS
BOAT WAS DESCRIBED AS MUCH WORSE
THAN WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS IN THE
FILM.
I HAD A CHAT WITH THE DIRECTOR
IN THE ART DEPARTMENT BEFORE I
GOT DOWN THERE AND SAID I
WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT THESE TWO
GIRLS WOULD COME TO THE BOAT AND
TAKE A CHANCE IF THE BOAT WAS AS
BAD AS THEY DESCRIBED, SO THEY
CLEANED IT UP A LITTLE BIT.
IT'S WHAT DAVID LETTERMAN USED
TO CALL STUPID HUMAN TRICKS.
THE IDEA YOU GO OUT IN A BOAT
AND PUT BLOOD IN THE WATER.
PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE TIME AND
DUMP BLOOD IN THE WATER TO
ATTRACT SHARKS TO CATCH THEM AND
KILL.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S ABOUT
100 MILLION SHARKS KILLED SIMPLY
FOR THEIR FINS.
IT'S A HORRIFIC THING THAT'S
NOW.
>> YEAH, I HAVE A FEELING IF YOU
DID A BACK STORY ON CAPTAIN
TAYLOR, IT COULD BE PRETTY
INTERESTING.
>> YEAH THE SEQUEL.
>> OR T PREQUELL.
>> I THOUGHT THE STUNTWORK OF
THE GIRLS, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY
AN PHOTOGRAPHY WAS INCREDIBLE.
>> WE HEARD FUNKY STORIES WHAT
THE WATER WOULD BE LIKE BY THE
END OF THE SHOOT DAY.
TH PUT BROCCOLI IN IT TO SEEM
LIKE IT'S ALL MURKY.
DIVED?
>> I HAVE.
I GREW UP SCUBA DIVING AT
EMPYREAL BEACH.
WE WOULD SAY WE WOULD MEET YOU
AT THE PIPE.
THE WATER WAS WARM THERE AT
POINT LOMA AND A LOT OF ABALONE
AND LOBSTERS.
WE DIDN'T GO VERY DEEP WITHIN 40 FEET.
AND WE DISCOVERED WHEN WE WERE
GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL THE
REASON WHY THE WATER WAS SO WARM
AND WHAT WAS COMING OUT OF THE
PIPE WAS SEWAGE.
SO I KIND OF GAVE UP SCUBA
DIVING FOR TWO DECADES.
Alex: LESSON IS NEVER UNDER
ESTIMATE MOTHER NATURE AND
ACTORS HOW GOOD AND STRONG THEY
ARE TO SHOOT FOR THAT MANY HOURS
>> UNBELIEVABLE.
THE TWO YOUNG LADIES, THEY DO A
GREAT JOB.
I AM GOING TO HAVE THEM ON
FRIDAY AND I WILL DO A REVIEW OF
THE MOVIE.
GENERATION'S JAWS.
IT.
I LOVE MOVIES THAT ARE UNDER
WATER, THOUGH I ALWAYS FEEL
LIKE I HAVE TO HOLD MY BREATH
SOMETIMES WHEN I AM WATCHING IT.
>> I HAVE TO ADMIT, I DID JUMP
SEVERAL TIMES.
IT'S THE PERFECT MOVIE.
