00:00:00.509 --> 00:00:03.941
(slow long notes)

2
00:00:03.941 --> 00:00:07.553
- You have to take your vision
to whatever the script is,

3
00:00:08.430 --> 00:00:11.280
the story, you have to be
true, you know, to the script,

4
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.250
but also, it's your take on the script.

5
00:00:14.250 --> 00:00:17.010
So, you have to be decisive
and you have to be,

6
00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.230
you have to make decisions
and stick with 'em,

7
00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:20.460
and make 'em quickly.

8
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.790
Filmmaking is hard because it's expensive,

9
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:25.350
and so you have to move fast.

10
00:00:25.350 --> 00:00:29.370
You have to shoot so many
pages of a script in a day.

11
00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:33.060
It's just, you don't have
unlimited time and money,

12
00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:34.890
and all that, so you have to move fast.

13
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:38.077
And, in order to move fast,
you gotta make quick decisions.

14
00:00:38.077 --> 00:00:40.800
And, you gotta be confident
in your decisions.

15
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:42.330
Even if they're wrong, you're better off

16
00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:44.370
to make a quick decision and move on,

17
00:00:44.370 --> 00:00:45.967
than to be hanging around thinking,

18
00:00:45.967 --> 00:00:48.510
"hmm, I wonder if I should
have done it this way."

19
00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:51.000
You gotta keep moving,
and you can, kind of,

20
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.160
always go back and fix
something if you have to,

21
00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:55.864
but, decision making, that's the key.

22
00:00:55.864 --> 00:00:59.580
(long, slow notes)

23
00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:01.979
Working with Cher is definitely
one of the highlights

24
00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:06.979
of our career, because she's
just an icon, you know?

25
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:09.660
And, she got to be, she
played a version of herself,

26
00:01:09.660 --> 00:01:13.230
in "Stuck on You, and we
got to hang out with her,

27
00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:16.650
and joke around with her,
and we just had so much fun.

28
00:01:16.650 --> 00:01:19.020
And, you, kind of, realized
that even though this person

29
00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:22.290
is such a cultural icon, and, you know,

30
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:25.440
you put 'em on a pedestal,
those kind of characters,

31
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:28.620
that when you meet Cher, you're like,

32
00:01:28.620 --> 00:01:30.780
you see that she's just a
human like everyone else.

33
00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:34.576
And, she was so accessible to us.

34
00:01:34.576 --> 00:01:37.590
(light rhythmic electronic keyboard)

35
00:01:37.590 --> 00:01:40.710
Mark Rizzo, our screenwriter,
took the original story

36
00:01:40.710 --> 00:01:42.900
and adapted it.

37
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:44.490
There are plenty of changes.

38
00:01:44.490 --> 00:01:46.320
I can't really specify exactly where,

39
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.110
but it's definitely an
Americanized version.

40
00:01:49.110 --> 00:01:51.330
And, Woody, you know,
puts his own stamp on it.

41
00:01:51.330 --> 00:01:53.940
He's, Woody Harrelson's always good.

42
00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:57.150
And, so, we just feel
like it's an original take

43
00:01:57.150 --> 00:02:00.003
on the previous movie,

44
00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:06.600
making a comedy movie, without my brother?

45
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:07.500
Yeah, I missed him.

46
00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:12.120
I missed him, because I
rely so much on his vision,

47
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.040
and his consultation, and all that,

48
00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:16.080
and vice versa. I'm sure.

49
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.530
So, it was a little
different, but it was fun too,

50
00:02:19.530 --> 00:02:22.620
because it, just, you know it was fun

51
00:02:22.620 --> 00:02:25.176
to just put my stamp on it, as well.

52
00:02:25.176 --> 00:02:28.200
(electronic keyboard)

53
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.740
Certainly in "Dumb and Dumber,"
there's some heart there,

54
00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:33.930
but it's a lot more comedy.

55
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:35.760
In this movie, "Champions."

56
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:38.310
There's a lot of drama,
but there's comedy, too.

57
00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:39.840
So, I would say of all the movies

58
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.280
I've ever been involved with,

59
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.420
this one has more heart than comedy.

60
00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:49.488
It has both, mind you, but,
it's kind of a dramedy.

61
00:02:49.488 --> 00:02:51.950
