4:35 pm
a significant role in this movie so did you really enjoy it but see well. that's the film only has me like i play this businessman who was in some for so runs you know because peroration basically it has to do with. the fact that he found they found a sort of a form of rejuvenating so if you go in that you get younger and younger or let's put it in very simple terms. you would go as you could would grow old as five and of course you know that's that's not a bad thing to discover and. and to to try and sell it to people because. they wouldn't need surgery just you know a way and and. so but there's of course there's like
4:36 pm
a war you start a war at the same time because everybody wants it. and then at the same time which was one of my favorite scenes also was that he discovers that one of his scientists is also. discovered a new disease that will be cured by the same thing he's discovered a virus that can only be stopped by using the same. pill. and he. he so he discovers that he has two businesses now. and it's pretty dangerous and pretty sick. last year you said you were going to open the film school in st petersburg russia how's it going did you manage to overcome all the bureaucratic
4:37 pm
a ha some of the the the red tape on the way all this but this project of yours well i worked with st petersburg for university and did it work so there and. they were hoping to set. it wasn't related it was like different it was like a different bunch of people who wanted to try and set up a school for filmmakers i didn't hear back from them so i don't think it's happening but we were trying to see if we could. but i'm doing it anyway but it's not based in a city necessarily. putting this school filmmakers on the internet and i am dreaming about shooting films through the. shooting them through the and that would be fantastic. i'm going to shoot a short film this year and i will add it to the internet so you know it's like
4:38 pm
a conference but editing. a video conference but editing what do you mean just look at the added look at an added together with a co-director and look at the go and then you know say we talk about the you know differences and what you feel is wrong. this is the future we can sit in in the in new york and we can edit it and we can shoot movies and we can you know do all kinds of things was this the reason why you were going to open that film school in russia i wanted to see if there was a i wanted to see i'm looking for links but the link is nothing a link is a link but if if there's a connection that becomes real then i can work with it i'm hoping to do a workshop in poland because they are ready to take me or in denmark
4:39 pm
one of the two this year. and then the link then link them up with a few other countries who will shoot the same always while you're shooting but they need to organize themselves they need to have a you know it's not a big deal we're doing a short film it's simple but we'll do interactive stuff see how they are doing and in a way that becomes a study of how different you know one short film is if it's shot by different people in different countries and it's you know you can learn a ton of things over that time the things as a filmmaker if you have eyes you can you know so that's fun and the internet gives us that possibility and i think be interesting to see what we come up with you once said that you really studied one aspect only want to aspect of acting in
4:40 pm
filmmaking and it's about truth did the status. of play a significant growth in your from a should as an act. i'm kidding i i don't think there is i think everybody can act ok and of course you can do training it doesn't matter what it is you do but by the end the day when i see you in front of the screen i don't care what you train but i will want to see i want to say i want to believe what you tell me and what what i see you do and if you came from the left or the right it is a matter of me my school and training come from shooting movies i did acting school did not learn anything there what i did learn in acting school. was that i didn't i was of a stage actor i realized very slowly that sea interacting was great for other people but i felt completely uncomfortable took me four years to
4:41 pm
practice as a theater actor so i spent four plus four eight years training myself thinking i can do this i'm not sure why i don't know why i feel uncomfortable it's not their fault ok. then i got the chance to do a television series and then i went this. is it ok. i just knew that i was not i did not have the right ingredients for stage the difference is very simple. this i don't know why but this system does not want me so the actor to project the projection goes. in front of the lens. so i'm not going to is just right there if you do it too
4:42 pm
far it's over that's the truth it's an illusion but it's the illusion that we are you know together in stage everything has to become like. this you know and i really feel it's sort of like a concentration it opens up and in film i feel that the concentration sort of goes into a sort of a quiet place not always but as an idea so you bring it down for anybody and any actor i can say you can do all the same things you wanted to do but bring him inside because people read. people who have read it not all but you don't mean to all people you want the people who are of the same frequency more or less anyone. you want to
4:43 pm
know keep it open they call it mysterious to mean is that mysterious but i think open is finding the mystery starts on the other side for me you know that side that side that side. says it all got power actor and director spotlight will be back shortly after the break so stay with us we'll continue in less than two minutes. well for the. years after millions for slate the flames of species race are again a like new rockets meet
4:44 pm
a new launch site private companies now enter the fight to explore the cost of skin care right speech. on technology of. the future coverage. it's the secret incursion into the country. it's the invasion by means of. tradition the language is really. this the best did beat the beat. culture. the thing is that the had the dozens are still unaware of what's going on in the land still asking why do you. think i don't know anything about alaska. an archie.
4:45 pm
welcome back to spotlight i'm mildly norvin just a reminder that my guest today is i don't get it how are the famous actor director who's joining us live from a moscow movie theater where the first show of the movie the salamander key has just and it mr her were in the nineteen seventies after turkish delight sent a soldier of orange you were rated the best actor in the netherlands you enjoyed a well deserved all european reputation so why did you decide to move to hollywood well i didn't go to hollywood basically i got a chance to get into. english language work as an actor because i spoke
4:46 pm
english enough let's put it that way. and so we know what you need to if you go into this is not hollywood hollywood's not waiting for me hollywood still not waiting for me hollywood doesn't exist for me i'm the filmmaker that's not a hollywood they make certain films. that take me years to take they take years to do that. but that's not to me that's not where we live. it's just a different sized product and it's safe it's not dangerous it's not too sweet not too salt not too much blood but the live so it's like. it's almost like you know i can't swim team your jacket. those those that's hollywood movies they need to have millions of people to watch them to get their money back
4:47 pm
by that nature it means you have to tell very same stories i want same stories i want dangerous stories i want to pick your brain pick your hard tickle you but i don't want to do and say save for is safe is in the office or something and this is not the same profession you have to take enormous chances and do it gladly you know well you played many you know oste many to play characters like they choose for example your role in the hitchers how does it feel to play a sadistic row for such a compassionate person as you are it's no but it's a keno. if you read a book and a writer writes like a dark story that you know it's not the this is not the writer it's not the painter
4:48 pm
who's crazy because he paints a crazy painting it's a different animal it's a different language the stories that we tell come from somewhere else i mean actors and the tools i'm just a tool i don't even you know the director can look through my eyes and i'll look with it. you know that you just take a character it's that. simple explain. it's like a little puzzle it's a digital puzzle it's not a house you're not building a house but you're creating a character in a movie that's all we do and it has a beginning a middle and an end you know how it ends in life we never know how it yet what we know it ends but we don't know how we know what this is really so it's a simple package and this puzzle i think is really it's almost like quality. i look at it like. you know it's very childish in the
4:49 pm
way i play i play with. sand as that's how i put together a director of course is right in there i said you like this and this is basically a blade runner this is my key the key thing in blade runner that i learned other than the having a great time was if you have if you make a recipe for a character that the director feels is right then this recipe will make it as full as you can. and then it will come out in different scenes as part of the character we can be all the time so as part of the character will come out and i think it's a great way of. preparing for war where you just go ok where is the salad bowl let's put some salt in. i do x l ok morsel
4:50 pm
so it's like a salad you know characters really like a salad and then the scene will basically and the director will basically let things come out that are more important than the scene but is there a rule that you would never play. it's are it's also you know it happens and would i refuse art no. i have no problem in saying no to something if i don't like it i don't feel i need to analyze why i don't like it i can but no ways no with simple when it what's interesting is if you have two great projects that are yes yes you can do a both. so you have to choose the one. but that's where it gets that's where it gets interesting and. these reporters know no creates space
4:51 pm
and i don't know why it is so hard for people to learn to say no. to best thing started when you're five you know daddy. you know. because it creates yes you know. it's create the room for something else to come along and go you can do this but you know i think everybody starts with a know don't thing but i did it for a long iced i think i worked on mill for like i know that on the hansard for instance and that was eighty five who works for me. it's really go yes eighty four. so i was eighty four so i was forty years old and i've done like thirty movie forty movies and i've been saying. i don't like this i don't like this i don't like this this is not that world there's not that character they said not
4:52 pm
a good director ever i was like a dog for forty years. and i was fighting everything my so you know and it's not fair thing unfair to fight yourself that was but so i turned around a little bit funny you know when i was so the minutes or i decided to work in a different way. i don't know why i just got tired of. well according to your biography you've been saying no since childhood yeah i was in it's a natural but that's a teenager instinct i mean everybody says no for like ten years or seventeen but then when the testosterone is coming you go you know you have somewhere to go let's say but it's this revolution no is the revolution but. i was busy samael two months basically i think and basically
4:53 pm
my my and she was in everything i didn't like that's typical teenager i don't like this i don't like you know of course my know basically was that i knew something to do my know always was this is no so is this no then this is next most people sland stay here but i always went ok if this is not nice then i'll go there and i'm a natural traveler period you know i travel i just i move otherwise i wouldn't be here would you say no to modern movies or colleges like the three d. for example no why not. know it the answers will be given by. how it's used i'm doing a film in three d. you know. with the gentle dracula three d.
4:54 pm
why drug kill is really it's done for him today has been done fifty three times i think well why not you know who to see i think it would be very scary to say the least is that your passion for experiments. it's the passion in my passion for yeah it is and of course in a diary. it's not you know not it's a very interesting guy the work with and then the whole the whole dracula thing i love it i think it's. you know it's like dracula again ok why not he lives forever don't you know but in three d. and three d. i'd like to see what i did definitely as an experiment to see. if it's true or as bill said is it just another trick or is it really work because i have serious doubts but i think it might work for some projects but i also think
4:55 pm
that basically it's millions of dollars have been pushed into trying to make you believe as filmmakers and as audiences the three d. is just brilliant because they i think the big studios have about seven more coming and they need to come you had they need you to come to see the movies so they're promoting this idea and they didn't have anything else because they were writing strikes going on there was a crisis gone they didn't have the stories they like they were scared shitless and i think that's why they're promoting this reading is just two cameras that's not it's not a big deal we had we can shoot you know seventy and his room was with seven ship cameras and you yourself would you make a film in three d. . and so you know by the time i get there it will be five d. and the canon five d. is fine i prefer the camera still because it's so flexible and.
4:56 pm
this camera has limits any camera has limits and we have limits so you work with the limits but it's all make believe with nothing is perfect who cares about perfect perfect dead people you know. well let's stay alive thanks for being with us you're welcome ok i'm fine thank you and just a reminder that my guest today was that all together howard actor and film director and that's it for now from all of us here if you want to add your sales spotlight or have someone in mind you think i should interview next parent to drop me a line at powder not at our t.v. dot are you and let's keep spotlights interact we'll be back with more first and common fun what's going on and outside russia until then to stay on our t.v. and take care.
