- [Josh] Mr. Pratt. - [Chris] Yeah!
- Good to see ya, bud.
- Yeah, nice to see you, too, Josh.
- You're like the James Brown of ginormous, awesome movies.
You're the hardest working man in showbiz.
- Oh, man.
I'm sweatin' like James Brown right now, too,
so that makes perfect sense.
- [Josh] Dance for me, Chris!
♫ Yah, get down, get down ♫
What has become in recent years
with all the opportunity, the criterion for stuff?
Like, you know, you had Magnificent Seven,
Passengers, obviously you're in the middle of Guardians.
- Yeah.
- Like what's, is there a common denominator
in all this stuff that you're choosin'?
- You have to be really careful,
and I lean on really smart people
that I work with too guide me towards
the things I wanna do.
I've always wanted to do a Western,
and so when Magnificent came up,
Magnificent Seven came up,
it was like, it just checked every box
for exactly what I wanted to do.
A cool character, with a great cast,
with a wonderful director and a genre that
I was really eager to explore.
- [Josh] Passengers, this is Sci-Fi,
this is Jennifer Lawrence.
- [Chris] Yeah!
- [Josh] This is, sounds so cool to me.
Did you know Jen at all prior to this?
- I had never met Jen prior to doing Passengers, no.
Of course I knew of her, I knew her work,
but I'd never met her before.
- What did you guys bond on, bond with at first?
Like, what's the first point of reference that
you guys shared together?
- We jumped right into basically working,
so our first time we met was at her house
doing a table read with the director.
And so we really bonded over the script
and over the story,
and then as we were working together,
because we're essentially the only two people
in the movie, as we were working together in Atlanta,
we just, yeah, we just became fast friends.
We bonded over a mutual love for Dumb and Dumber.
- Oh, she loves Dumb and Dumber!
She's obsessed with it!
- She, yeah, I mean, I was too, growing up
and still am and so,
just like jokes and life and all of it.
- She's talked with me and others about
the fact that doing the sex scene in this one
was a little, I mean, it's always a little awkward,
a little weird, she did a little drinkin' prior.
Did you?
What are your recollections of that?
- Yeah, I was, that kind of a thing,
you really, I think, aside from doing a great job
and telling a good story,
your primary goal is to make the other person comfortable.
- [Josh] Right.
- And she wanted to have some wine and so we did,
and that was, that was nice.
- You're in the middle of Guardians Volume Two.
- Yeah, buddy!
- New characters, Kurt Russell.
- Yeah, dude, Kurt Russell, whoo.
Oh my god.
- How amazing is it to be working with Kurt
and have him in that?
It fits perfectly, it just fits into James Gunn's
vision it seems, right?
- It's perfect, he's awesome.
I asked him to be my dad in real life.
I'm still waiting to hear back,
but I think he might take me up on it.
- I'm not expecting you to spill anything,
but just curious, like,
what do you think's gonna surprise people,
just tonally, or scope, or anything about Guardians?
- I think like if Guardians of the Galaxy was
the Beatles' first album,
this is really like Sgt. Pepper's.
It's something completely different that,
in my opinion, blows the first one out of the water.
The story is incredible.
The visuals are astounding.
The music is so kick-ass, I mean.
- Does he play it on set?
During the scenes, is that helpful?
- He has, yeah, yeah, it is helpful.
It is helpful to understand where you're at.
He does that not only with the song
but also sometimes with the score,
and that's been really helpful.
- Timetable on the next Jurassic?
- The timetable for shooting, I think,
is like beginning of 2017,
so the release should be probably,
you know, summer of 2018,
which is crazy to think that it's 2018.
Hold on, I'm gonna wipe this sweat real quick.
- You dab, you don't rub.
That's the key, right?
- And now I eat it.
- No, no, no Chris, don't do that.
(exaggerated throat-clearing)
Oh my god, are you okay?
- Ah, yeah, I'm fine.
- Is that part of the star world?
- I'll pass that tomorrow
and I'll put it right back in my pocket.
- [Josh] Sweet!
- I've used, you know how many times
this has been through my digestive system, this one tissue?
- [Josh] It's just the one, it's very economical.
- I've been using this tissue since
Parks and Rec, Season Two.
Here, take a peek.
- [Josh] No, I think I'm good.
- Every press tour.
- I'm good. (laughter)
Do you know anything storyline,
again I don't expect you to say anything,
but have they teased you with what's
to come in Jurassic, the next one?
- I know a little bit about it.
- Oh wait, just something,
I feel like I saw something.
- Really?
- Something wonderful.
- Ah, yeah, the little bit I know is definitely
something wonderful.
- [Josh] Surprised you, intrigued you?
- Completely, completely.
I was really, really excited about what they're doin'
with this, with this movie.
I mean, I, anything more I feel like
is venturing into spoiler territory and,
but I can say that it's gonna be pretty amazing.
- You're gonna have a team of body-language experts
just to analyze that 20 seconds.
- Really?
They're gonna be like, sweaty, sweaty,
has to fart.
- [Josh] Do you?
If you need to let it go, just let it go.
- Is there, you know, what if sound picks it up?
- [Josh] Oh, it's okay.
- What if there's Smell-o-vision one day?
And they pull this up?
- I bet your flatulence smells wonderful.
- (laughter) You're right.
(laughter)
