Cameron Diaz & Seth Rogen Dish “Green Hornet”Comments
By Lynn Barker on 2011年1月11日UTC上午7時00分00秒
Another comic book superhero movie is hitting screens but, with funnyman Seth
Rogen (of Superbad, Pineapple Express, the voice of B.O.B. in Monsters vs.
Aliens, etc.) writing the script, starring as The Green Hornet and executive
producing, The Green Hornet isn’t your ordinary Batman-style comic book
film. Seth brings the funny!
Rogen is joined in the action comedy by Cameron Diaz as hot assistant Lenore
who is the brains behind the Hornet’s adventures and, of course, by
side-kick, bad-ass driver, brilliant inventor and martial arts master Kato,
played by Asian actor and super popstar, the adorable Jay Chou. We sat down
with the trio on the Sony Pictures movie lot and got insider info… with
pictures!! Check it out.
TeenHollywood: Seth, did you go all the way back to the ‘Green Hornet’
radio serials and watch all the episodes of the old TV show from the 1960’
s? How much of that did you take in and how much did you have to tune out to
do your own thing?
Seth: In the beginning phases of writing the script we did a ton of research
just to gather ideas. We just start by making tons of lists of ideas and
thoughts and things we'd like to include in the movie. We tried to listen to
almost all the radio serials. They're a little outdated.
I guess back then just hearing footsteps for thirty seconds straight was
really suspenseful and interesting, the creaking of a door opening was real
cinema at that time, but it's a little hard to sit through hours of it at
this point for me. But I'm very stupid. We included little tips of the hat to
the previous incarnations of it. The whole notion of me getting shot and
having to conceal that from the police is from an episode of the TV show. We
tried to update that for the movie.
TeenHollywood: Cameron, what was it like working on this guy-heavy set and is
it true that you are the best stunt driver but you didn't get to show it?
[Seth laughs].
Cameron: Well, I can only comment on one of those. It was awesome working
with them. So much fun. I didn't realize that it was such a huge action movie
because I came in the first week of shooting and the last week of shooting
and in all of my bits, there was no action. So I went away to be in another
movie…
Seth: With a lot of action [probably Knight and Day].
Cameron: With a lot of action, and I came back and when I saw what they'd
done I was like, 'Wait a second. How did this happen? Why did I not know
this?' Before we started also I went out and I took the Black Beauty car for
a spin. So I should've put two and two together and realized.
Seth: It's true, yeah. Well, I drove it, too and I don't drive it in the
movie at all [Kato does].They just wanted us to have fun.
TeenHollywood: The characters in the film seem to be into comic books or
aware of them. Was that something you wanted to add?
Seth: Yeah, we kind of wanted [to create] a world. The kid is a comic book
superhero fan, obviously. To us the simple thought was, 'Who's the kind of
guy who's likely to become a superhero? Probably someone who reads comic
books and is a comic book fan or is at least aware of them.' So, we kind of
wanted to dance on the line between being a comic book movie and commenting
on a comic book movie.
TeenHollywood: Seth, can you talk about the Chinese words written on the
dashboard in the car?
Seth: I left any and all foreign language work on this film up to other
people. I did no research. I don't know what that stuff says. I trusted Jay.
Jay was just like, 'I’ll just say something in another language.' I said,
'Okay. Just don't make it too dirty,' and that was pretty much it.
TeenHollywood: And Jay, can you talk about doing the action scenes, whether
you ever got hurt?
Jay: I built the Black Beauty. I didn't get hurt in the fight scenes because
I'm Kato [big grin].
Seth: Kato doesn't get hurt.
Jay: Also, I think if you see the Black Beauty it will make James Bond's cars
look sissy. I like cars. I have many cars, but this car is the best.
TeenHollywood: Do you want to keep it, Seth?
Seth: I don't think that I can. It's a lot to insure in L.A.
Cameron: Jay has a Batmobile!
TeenHollywood: Cool! Jay, you're a big music and film star in Asia but
relatively new to American cinema. What was your first thought after you
auditioned via Skype?
Chou: Very excited and a little bit nervous because I should [have been
speaking] English. I'm training in English only one month before the movie.
Seth: He’s amazing.
TeenHollywood: Seth, although this movie is PG-13 and isn’t bloody, there is
a pretty big body count of bad guys. Didn’t the original Hornet just gas
people and not kill them?
Seth: Well, yeah. We ran out of stunt guys to kill.
Cameron: Use zombies!
Seth: [laughs] Yeah, we’d have to use zombies eventually. We thought, 'It's
an action movie.' I'm a fan. I always thought that it was funny that on the
old “A-Team” TV show how they would shoot four hundred people and none of
them would die. I think if you're going to make an action movie you might as
well just go for it. It's not explicit. It's not in any way meant to inspire
people to do anything crazy. It's not supposed to instill any horrific images
or anything like that. It's all for the point of fun.
We were fascinated how many people die in your average [film]. In
Transformers, just Optimus Prime [the giant robot] getting thrown through one
building would kill four thousand people and there's no mention of it at all.
No one cares [but] we could never kill a dog. My girlfriend would never [put
up with that]! I gassed a lot of people.
Cameron: You don’t kill dogs or old people.
TeenHollywood: As a comic book fan, Seth, was part of the appeal to 'The
Green Hornet' that there isn't a lot of mythology to it? You could make up
your own stuff?
Seth: Yeah. I would have no real interest in just doing a very literal
interpretation of preexisting material. I see a lot of these comic book
movies that come out now and you almost feel like anyone could pick up the
first few editions of the comic book and say, 'I want to shoot this,' and
then six months later you have the origin story of most superheroes. That
really didn't interest us in any way.
We really wanted to be able to inject our own sensibilities into it and our
own sense of humor and the things that we love about superheroes and comic
books ourselves. [We kept] some of the iconic things people know about 'The
Green Hornet'; Kato, the car, the gas gun, the song, [Cameron’s character]
Lenore and the D.A.
TeenHollywood: Cameron, you got to sort of beat up these two guys in the
film. How was that to do? Was there a lot of rehearsal and did your own
experience doing action help you with that?
Seth: Her own experience of beating up two men at once?
Cameron: [laughs] We actually had a lot of fun with that scene. I can clearly
beat up both of them so we had to kind of gauge how capable Lenore was and
whether or not she had any moves. We kind of thought that she'd know
self-defense a little bit.
Seth: And she's good with an umbrella like The Penguin [in Batman]… kind of.
Cameron: Yeah. Basically, I got to beat them over the head with an umbrella
for nearly half a day.
Seth: Yeah, you whacked us pretty good quite a few times. I think we broke a
few umbrellas.
Cameron: But it was all for the greater good. They took it like men.
Seth: Like whiny men.
TeenHollywood: This is a comedy action film so Seth, how much comedy were you
willing to bring in and not overpower the action?
Seth: You just had to generally be aware that the comedy should come from the
characters and it all should feel real and it shouldn't feel like we're being
funny just for the sake of being funny, but it should kind of feel like
something that would maybe actually happen.
It was just how the characters related to one another that we hoped the humor
would come from. I remember with the car, we were like, 'Inspector Gadget's
car is too far.' That was our benchmark. We were like, 'When it starts to
become Inspector Gadget's car we've crossed the line. The editing was where
we were really able to play with all of that [comedy vs. action balance].
TeenHollywood: Seth, how were you able to get James Franco to play the cocky
crime kingpin for that scene at the beginning of the film?
Cameron: Seth has something that he could use against James. So, he used it.
Seth: [laughs] Me and James were married briefly in Antigua a few years ago
and I promised to keep it under wraps. No, I’m kidding! Sometimes you just
ask someone to do something, they say ‘yes’ and it really works out as
easily as you could hope. That's one of those situations. He just liked the
scene and was excited to work with Christoph [Waltz] and we promised we could
do it in a short amount of time. He came and it was great.
TeenHollywood: In the comic and TV show, I think The Green Hornet always got
the girl but not in this movie. Why not?
Seth: Actually, it was our instinct that Kato should wind up with the girl
and Cameron, actually, had the amazing idea that no one should end up with
the girl which was really funny. I think it serves the friendship between me
and Jay more. We think there's this huge competition going on and there's
literally no competition. Neither of us has a chance at all. She doesn't even
know that we like her really. To us that kind of became this funny play off
of the traditional love triangle that you might find in one of these movies.
Cameron: And it relieved the story of having to wrap up that storyline which
is usually what kills the end of a movie. It takes Lenore away from then
having to choose between the romance or the taking care of the villain.
[Doing a romance] just felt really outdated, like they always end up with the
girl. So what is the girl there for, but just to serve them? In this movie,
she actually is an integral part of how they accomplish what they accomplish.
That's the purpose of her in the story rather than just being arm candy and
having to wrap that up is so boring.
Seth: That's a really good and simple way of putting it. Often when I watch
these superhero movies as soon as the romantic story starts I want to kill
myself. So we thought that it would be best to minimize that as much as
possible.
TeenHollywood: Jay, did you have a favorite scene in the movie?
Jay: So many. I like the fights. [They are like brothers and] brothers fight
like kids. In my childhood I didn't fight because I'm the only one. [I was
an] only child. I never had a brother. So, [to Seth] you’re like my brother.
Seth: From another mother, yeah.
Jay: I liked driving the car and shooting bad guys. In my childhood everybody
wanted to be a hero. So I like that part, fighting bad guys.
TeenHollywood: We hear that Jay did a concert at the L.A. Sports Arena and it
was awesome, with screaming fans and everything.
Cameron: Amazing! When I saw him up there on the stage I was like, 'What's
the matter with me?'
Jay: [smiles] Maybe the story should change and you go for me.
TeenHollywood: Cameron, can you talk a bit about working with Jay? Was he
also fun between takes on set?
Cameron: Jay is actually an amazing magician, like phenomenal. So he
entertained us a lot with his magic, with cards and sleight of hand. That was
something that we were all very impressed with and I think also adds to the
whole grace and mystery of Kato. It's what Jay brought to that, and we were
all just floored that he didn't speak a word of English before he started. He
worked about a month leading up to filming, but he still did his lines
phonetically for the first week or so. Then all of a sudden he's just
speaking English and it happened so fast.
Seth: Yeah. He started improvising and I thought, 'Oh, man, what the hell? It
took me fifteen years to be able to do that.' [Jay is grinning].
Cameron: And then just his ability as a dancer, as a performer, the way that
he learned choreography for the fights, just the grace of that [was great].
As a magician he'd come up with things on set. Like there's this one moment
when he flicks a pen off of the top of the briefcase with the latch and it
flips over. He could actually get it to do that. His talent as a performer,
as a dancer, magician really lent so much to his part. Every day we were
like, 'Jay is really talented and really cool,' and then he just looks really
cool. So we were all very impressed by him.
