Angel Has Fallenreleases on Blu - rayon November 26 . Until then , take a peek at an undivided behind - the - scenes clip above , which showcases some of the exciting legal action that takes post in the film ’s explosive final act .
You ’ve in all likelihood been necessitate this a bunch , but … Back in 2013 , you were inWhite House Down , which splendidly dueled againstOlympus Has Fallen …
I have n’t scram it " a bunch , " but it has come up !
Is that break some kind of rule ? Did you get in trouble ? Did Roland Emmerich call you on the phone and be like , " Hey man , you cheat me ! "
No ! As a issue of fact , I was tempt to the premiere of Midway ! But alas , I could n’t make it . But no , we ’re still on pretty practiced terminal figure .
I think it ’s something that ’s mostly pumped up in the industry trade , when an actor swap camps , like going from DC to Marvel or material like that . I mean , it ’s all art , right ?
Well , it ’s good PR for me !
The cast forAngel Has Fallenis incredible . Danny Huston , in particular , is one of my favourite actor , so getting to see him in an action at law movie , going toe - to - toe with Gerard Butler was a real treat .
He killed it . He kill it ! I care we had scenes together , but we did n’t ! The only other clip I met him , believe it or not , was on the set ofAmerican Horror Story , six yr ago .
How ‘bout that ! Do you ever get starstruck ? As an actor , do you get to be a buff , or is that something of a simulated Pa ?
If I ’m a fan , I ’m a fan . I ca n’t aid it , you know ? But dead , with Morgan Freeman . And Richard Jenkins , who played the hidden villain inWhite House Down .
Tell me about work with them !
So , Richard Jenkins , I was actually afraid of him , because I was such a fan of his body of work . The first time I met Richard , we were driving to set together , and I was late . So he ’s in the cable car waiting for me . And I come down from the hotel , and I say , " full morning , " and he barely spoke to me . So I think , oh boy , I ’ve already started off on the faulty foot . But fortunately , we ’ve since become booster !
So , when you have those solar day on set where you require to be a peer to this person you ’re a fan of , how does that equal ? How do you go up to their level , or bring them over to your grade , or however that equation act upon ?
With Richard , we just get utter . We had so many conniption together where we were just suffer around in between takes , and in between setup for hours ! We just end up pass a lot of meter together . So we did a batch of talking about the craft of acting , and pic . As a issue of fact , he tell me to read Spencer Tracy ’s biography , because he and I get to talking about Spencer Tracy ’s monologue at the root ofFather of the Bride .
And what was it like make with Morgan ? Many of your scenery in this movie are with him .
For me , once we actually start doing the work , I ’m fine . It ’s when the camera shut off that I get tongue - tied . You know what I mean ? Generally , in terminal figure of the work , I do n’t lean to feel intimidated , because I ’m focused on what I ’m doing . Morgan Freeman is one of those people who , I mean , he ’s a walking ikon . He ’s one of my idol . He ’s one of the guy rope who come before me who made it potential for me to do what I ’m doing . So Morgan was really perfumed to me . But he ’s also a practical turkey . I never catch completely comfortable with Morgan . It ’s like he ’s … How do I put this ? I could n’t stop making him larger than life in my brain , so I just cave in up trying .
What kind of practical trick did he pull on you ? Or are they secret ?
He would do clobber like … For example , there was a scene in the hospital . It ’s me and him and Michael Landes , who plays the Chief of Staff . We ’re informing him , basically , that Gerard Butler ’s fictional character is possibly muddy and could be the person behind the attacks . So the three of us have this view together . They did Morgan ’s close - up first , and then they did mine . On Michael ’s close - up , I have negotiation , talking to Morgan while he ’s in the infirmary seam . And while I ’m peach , he starts queer his eyes . ( Laughs ) I ’m trying to take for it together , for the other actor , and … Oh , he get me estimable .
That ’s hilarious . You ’re such a well - rounded prolific worker . Everybody knows you from one matter or another . masses sleep with you fromFringe , The Wire , John Wick , Destiny , Quantum Break , which is one of my favorites .
Quantum Break , that ’s one I really wish well we ’d get the chance to do a sequel . That was a cool labor .
I ’m still adjudge out promise they ’ll find a means to integrate your character in the future . There is still so much potential in that news report . That team has move on to Control , which kind of hints that all the games are connected .
Oh yeah . There was definitely more for me to do in a sequel . But it just never happened .
Was there ever talks about that early on ? Like , did a producer take you aside and go , " Hey , if this works out , you ’re gon na be in it for the long draw ? "
I do n’t know about the " long haul , " but definitely the next one . But then the next one did n’t bechance , at least not yet .
When you look at these dissimilar art form , video game , movies , television set , do you approach it all the same room ? In the sometime daytime , it was like , " this someone is a movie actor , they would never do TV ! " I feel like those lines are kind of drop dead , and that ’s begin to pass to video games , as well .
A few actors still , the older film stars who have been mega - stars for decennary … But even then , mostly , those lines are gone . I cogitate that ’s really coolheaded . specially since telecasting gaming has turned into such a big industry . It ’s perplex such a Brobdingnagian fanbase . When I really realized how it was moving into the mainstream … I do n’t retrieve what game it was , but I saw a commercial with Kevin Spacey , and they used his similitude for the game . I was like , video games are a self-aggrandizing deal now , they ’re mainstream . And the way television has acquire , with foresightful - form writing , and the acting and filming , it ’s become such great work to do . To do your interrogation , though , as far as approach it otherwise … For me , in terms of how I border on the study , television and film , I do n’t really approach those differently . The experience can be different depending on the budget of the film . The crowing the budget , the longer you have to shoot scenes . But in terms of existent preparation and actually doing the body of work on set , it ’s the same . Video games are a footling different . So much of it is just vocalization over work . vox acting can be dissimilar because you have to … I palpate like , less for theater actors , but for actors who do a lot of television and plastic film , you ’re so used to how you move and use your face in how you communicate . But in a telecasting secret plan , you have to pass along through your phonation . It ’s more challenging .
ForDestiny , in especial , your character has a lot of dialogue throughout the whole season of depicted object they produce . Do you record all of that at once , or do they bring you in every few months or so when they have a new DLC pack ?
Here ’s how it goes . Even when they ’ve pay off a unexampled capacity pack , it ’s never recorded all at once . It ’s memorialise over several academic term , usually over several months , for each new set of content . And it depends on how big the content is . The last one , I did n’t do nearly as much as I did before .
