11:00 pm
today on larry king now two guns stars paula patton and bill bugs that pull on working with denzel washington not once but twice when you were going to get past it just makes your job that much easier on on marriage to the hit maker rather than fact when you've known somebody as long as we have that back kind of success is a huge celebration have a lot of block long days and hard work the ever changing build such that on his bountiful career in hollywood but i got cast really i think bryan cranston as a lot of that available plus you know i came up through exporting work and i believe the one of the best parts i've had since a movie like true love is are aliens and so ahead on larry king now.
11:01 pm
we now welcome to larry king now paula patton the odd person a star of the impossibly successful mission impossible ghost protocol and fun in the with tom cruise she now stars in two guns her second film opposite done zo washington following the two o's two thousand six hundred film deja vu paula patton is sensational in this has stalled its virtues terrific movies how did you get this part is a good question that i read i read the script and i and i loved it and for me i don't know i don't ever. go into things in an intellectual way just if i'm moved by the part then move by a part so i said i would like to be the director and likely you want to meet with me as well and and didn't fail signed off on it in and we went back to it together you know what did you like about her she's she's really trying to have a dual personally. i found her to be really complex and a challenge that way because for me it's always about. trying to find
11:02 pm
a real person a real female d.h. and that will let me get inside their head in their lives and how they approach the work that they do and oftentimes you know the work that we do is a percent of our lives so it really informs our personality as well and that help me with crafting this person with these dual personalities and also but her vulnerabilities and that she isn't meek she makes bad decisions but they're not initially from they don't start from a cruel and cold place it comes from somebody who wants deeply in this male dominated world that she lives in in a world where probably if she intimidates every man that's not even any of his to be with and and she's sort of a woman who's been scorned and that that changes her path and then we have seen the movie but i thought that it coming to that conclusion and talking to this woman who is a dea agent for a while and it really helped me kind of formulate the care with orange sort of when we did this you're not going to shoot
11:03 pm
a movie deal and it is it's friday this is true you have incidents and i couldn't hear you the kid was she was good on sept him to prison does good on world's great i'm saying that you can just feel it from the two of them they were just working off of each other so well and mark i just was like if people will be really surprised and it's also your first time seeing them as our really is quite comical in this area and it really works and it just shows you what a versatile actor he is is one of the greatest actors of our time do you have any problems working in church rules you know what not really for me on and it would i'm i'm uninhibited when it comes to being on set you know because that's the freedom for me that's the meditation is to become someone else and be able to give myself over to it one hundred thousand percent and i the thing is for me i just don't make things personal i would really don't have i don't make good fights close friends with anybody who are friendly on set but i'm certainly not going to meet you for. drink afterwards or anything like that so that you can keep all of the
11:04 pm
chemistry just for that scene you know and you don't have to feel self-conscious what it will be no you can just go for it your first film was eight years ago you've already worked with tom cruise will smith mark wahlberg we can you go from this. technical saying. i'm to be out there is so many of you for that i love to work with louis but i feel so grateful that i've been able to work with these incredibly talented you to work with actually they are it's sort of like you know with sports when they say when you play with people that are better than you it can only make you better head and makes it easier and it's a funny thing is yes perhaps the beginning there's that feeling of those not your stomach but once you get in the scene and you let all that go when you work with the best it just makes your job that much easier because you're you guys are speaking the same language i haven't flown and it works from crew she's probably
11:05 pm
the hardest working man right here and over rose the truth is amazing that no one works harder than him and has more enthusiasm so kind of everybody in the crew members everybody's name i i was left so in such admiration of him after working on mission impossible because really he approaches each film as if it's his first movie he has that much love for the work he does and i love that about it what about this deal so i get my has been do a song called blurred lines he did a video and they did a version clothing they did a version where he worked girls in a you know he kept his clothes on and the best the next step is that men will get naked more often you know the women were topless but i thought it was beautiful and tastefully done and everybody looks like they're having a good time and i don't really have any problem with nudity or use of drugs you can do both. yeah well they've took it up then they put it back i don't know how this
11:06 pm
whole thing goes it's just. i i'm surprised by things every day if you notice it it's just you know robin has got the billboard hot one hundred list for the seventh straight week the longest running number one it'll be year you both versions of school there's a difficult oh no marriage works actually it's very very now it's the best time of our lives it's when you've known somebody as long as we have that you're back kind of success is a huge celebration of a lot of luck long days and hard work and harder years where you go up and down and you don't know if they'll ever catch on and you know i mean in this is the biggest cities ever had so honestly it was pinching ourselves every day which is you meet with. the summer can you believe at an all ages dance club but yeah i had a friend to drive. and he has been a dancer. dressed sr all that was you know lee was reporting that is fifteen or
11:07 pm
your older man you married young so your high school we were high school and you like we were going to go to the same high school so i just lied about him where was you know where it's ok if it is when you grow up i we both up in l.a. farm raised we did you start dating them it was so we go you know what the long story but yes we started dating and high school and then and then we started going steady. around so it was noses and he was always a singer and robin's a truly remarkable musician inability at a very early age to listen to anything on the radio and be able play it on the piano he just he can play it by ear and and he's also great imitator so that's what started off as just singing all of his favorite singers songs and imitating them and then of course he created his own voice and and his own vision of what he wanted to sing about a little boy his three and. he loves his dad he wants to be like is that it's
11:08 pm
a little bit oedipal i'm not going to live you know it's like you want to hug him and around him at the same time it's it's all i did and she was very just like you know that i was you terrible too you know it i'm kind of an old school parent little strike so we had terrible moments but they didn't last but it was you you have it you have a c. but you will love to go oh i can't tell you when i've had so much fun really you know in the invention of the wooden shoe with a big old geezer but he loved it there was a one second screen i can't really fault as i was a great director and he's a really great actor as well which did the voice from. my mom has a similar voice my mom was a school teacher for thirty seven years and kids can hear her on a grocery aisle. so i don't know it's just gotten worse over the age and i don't even smoke you're the product that we've mentioned yet it was
11:09 pm
a tough rule no one had the society change but it's a good question. i think life is tough for everybody you know but i wouldn't say that that that my my dad being back in my mom being white was was what made it my life tough. or something the other elements that i do remember things like in the early taking a we're going to go to the east coast and they made a decision not to go to boston at one time because there was just so much racial tension in that if we had my dad and my mom above that we would have a problem but the mixed marriage i mean they just felt like you know we should do that trip this year because you do your own stunts in mission impossible and i did i was inspired by tom tom does all the stunts and i'm quite competitive size and i want to do it too didn't realize i was going myself into because it was grueling and i love my nose i. i he went out the window you know yeah and i just i was just like my body. they went down you know but i really was i mean might have waited my
11:10 pm
stomach was out but the burgers khalifah which is a tall building and because of the tightness that made us they could really put a harness on me so i had i was like does that mean holding on to my ankle that was like whoa what day although. we have a quick game called if you only knew all right who's a first kiss my coach akari who make such a card my daughter tara oh how will you know how old is a. thirteen fourteen middle school middle school and what about a model to her. favorite rock you go to sleep favorite robin flips on fear of an exxon dreamworld biggest pet peeve. dishonesty guilty pleasure chips and salsa was usually most everything the movie you watched over and over. over and over. the
11:11 pm
godfather hasn't direct you'd like to work with stanley kubrick if it was a laugh if i do you'd like to work with de as a lewis moment you knew you'd made it still don't feel it. if you could have something named after you what would it be. a flower secret to a happy marriage. patience compromise and. and love to love and lust. and lust thank you for her great thank you very much paula patton she stars along with a great cast and two guns bill paxton is next who is in everything.
11:13 pm
pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researcher. he's one of my favorite people all the time have been that way but it's great to see bill paxton again the suspects that has been in everything from aliens to tombstone to apollo thirteen to titanic to u.s. five seventy one the submarine with the best submarine movies ever made and he's fresh off the hit mini series that feels the mccoys and he is one of the stars of two guns as i said one of the best action funniest movies you will ever see and mr paxton tells me he has not seen it i have done it good to see why have you not seen
11:14 pm
it. it's just one of those things you know it's funny you get to a point you go in you know usually and so you see a little bit of it when you do the a.d.r. you know the dialogue replacement but i kind of like to wait and see till the finish carpenters have come in and they've put in the paint in the show and really the thing the music i want to see the whole thing perfect not to for the better for the viewer this is a complete departure from the past whenever you've seen them in forget it and for the first five to ten minutes you will see to have deal with. i know him but who tell me about the whole get up the mustache the home you know i read the script i'm like you haven't done no no but i the character was very unique supposedly he may or may not work for the cia i don't think. i think well i think he's under there he has their authority and so hold him but he's the kind of gonna go we
11:15 pm
disavow any knowledge of this guy but i love the way the speeches are written and i love the action is very clever thing he does as he's interrogating the first guy never seen that before with the thumbtacks but that's all i will say but i you know i i i love i thought it needed a little bit of a accent and i was thinking that i had just been reading a great book of essays of tennessee williams and you know the way he does love the dad such a flowery accent because he kind of adopted the louisiana tag said that all this is going to work for this guy so i got a mustache the director did not know me they arranged a luncheon for us in beverly hills he was quickly getting back down to new orleans as they were about to start i got cast late i think bryan cranston must not have been available and so i go down to meet him at his lines i went over to floyd's barber shop had a real barber haircut i had a mustache i had a western suit with a bolo tie and i just walked in like i was was the guy i told him as an actor but i
11:16 pm
wanted to think of the skull the perfect. so we got on the set we stand i had to shoot my biggest scene with denzel washington my first day which was a little unfair but i was ready and i had a great time very quickly i could see the character was affecting the crew and people wanted to see what was early going to do next. to you that was juicy very juicy and you know i came up doing supporting work and i feel is the one of the best friends i've had since a movie like true lies or aliens or something where i got to just be a supporting actor normally you're a you're above the fold well i eased out it did i'm kind of fallen back down there but i'm becoming the guy that supports the guy do you like that i love it i love it but there's your leading man who's a supporter who's are there no i was a character actor who became a leading man who's now gone back to being a character actor you know the full circle pretty much is there's much of
11:17 pm
a kick when you're not the lead. i had more fun with this part than i've had in a long long time and so i have to say yes there is there's not as much pressure i think and you know for so long you're trying to make moves in with a hollywood career you're trying to parlay this job into another job and it gets a little bit tiresome i just want to have some fun i want to i would just want to act and so this is this this was perfect for that and i've just finished another picture supporting tom cruise in the edge of tomorrow with a big doug liman movie about it's kind of a futuristic. alien invasion and we're trying to take we're going to try to take europe back kind of like a normandy did the point of the mormon. career or her two.
11:18 pm
or no effects i think oh it did didn't hurt me it was a great part and a great you know top flight show very show smart writing great actors or i was opposite jeanne tripplehorn and chloe and jenny good one and got harry dean bruce dern i mean it was it was murderer's row in terms of the actors it was great the i think but when i came out of it i think my character ultimately kind of made mitt romney look exciting so i don't i don't think it equated to people passing people thinking oh he'd be good as a villain in this movie well and mark wahlberg and get to this part how about working with people like let's say you did you first scene with denzel washington you'd not work with him before i would get only met him preferably what was it like . well it's kind of bizarre because this is an actor that obviously is one of the great actors of our generation and i've just loved him and everything i've seen him
11:19 pm
in what was cool about this was i think this is. good chance for him to kind of show a little bit of the lighter side i mean i mean good lord the performance eat gave in flight was unbelievable unforgettable remarkable he did he did it all so when you go up against somebody like that you want to make sure you got your stuff stowed pretty tight you want to drop the ball it's like i was like i always feel like you're kind of in a relay race or passing the baton back in for one of our warburg walberg and i go way back and i always like mark move i produced a movie called traveler with julianna margulies and mark years ago after twister and i mark i got him to come in to meet me for the part and i said look i don't i've seen you i've seen him in this movie fear and i could tell it i had and just a natural charisma about it and he carried himself so i said i said he said well i don't care if you read for the parcival let's just have
11:20 pm
a conversation i said who's your favorite actor because years ago it was about fifteen years ago as they said james cagney and i was coming james cagney young to really be a fan of james k. he's a guy who my dad was a teamster and i used to use to work all night he come in in the morning and he watches old movies that have pulled me in and i'd watch these movies with him and he was in he kind of term me on to a lot of these great actors when you play someone who in food be described in one word would be evil. this is not a likable character into guns you give him a kind of a what you're amused by him but he's cunning and he is one tracked he doesn't care about people robbing a bank. but if you rob a bank well that's where the money is but he doesn't like anyone who lies to him so he's a really weird kind of guy i'll tell you this movie has a very strong genesis in in a don siegel movie that you will remember that walter matthau played the lead in it
11:21 pm
was called charlie by. eric a member love that movie well i think i am ill this had a has some d.n.a. in that because they see that i realize the money there's a lot of people tied to the money well this is kind of the jodan baker part that i play but i didn't really watch the film but i remembered it from when it was you. do when you play some really bad do you do like him oh of course i like. absolute you know he you have to if you find you have to play a villain as a bad guy usually the villain has the is the strongest conviction of what he's doing and oh no are all earles he's a fair man. he kills people well i mean to settle this it's all in a day's work the done scene one must have fun with that. and i found selim let me i'm doing a very good job this is a movie you're going to make tongue flew i was hired by legendary to start
11:22 pm
a new movie franchise based on the the david carradine series from the seventy's confort and we've got the script written that legendary wants to put it through their new company legendary east which is a new company is coming together with a chinese finance financial piece and the proviso will be to shoot a movie there so what would be better than a western with an eastern erode and you will be the director you like that much better why because then i can play a role in real life and. i think it's a chance it is a director's medium the director gets to play every part and on top of that you really get you know as an actor you're bringing a color to the canvas or whatever but as the director you get to really be in the whole paint box so i had a great outing with the greatest game ever played was the last film i directed itself those higher level of my now up way i use your quote on the. on the d.v.d.
11:23 pm
oh i love that movie and very proud of that and i directed a movie called frailty that people seem to really. have held very close to yours from the on both sides of the camera. does being an actor make you better directing . i think so yeah sure you understand acting more absolutely is being able to communicate to the actor what you want did you think had fields of mccloy's would be as big a hit as it was no but i thought i mean well yes and when cabin costner you know he was heading up this thing and i called kevin up i wasn't sure i wanted to do another. patriarchal guy who was who is you know very old school religion i felt like i was a little like big love in many ways but he said i'll come on we're going to be in romania and we're going to we burned the arabs and and i like haven't i again it
11:24 pm
was someone i looked up to like denzel and i had known and he said i will have a good time with this and he was he was the reason i did i did the piece and. we all got a lot of bang for our buck on that point because it was a good about the beers it was as you would be a good lord i let it grow into wine. and just it was just the most discussing the thing my daughter named it hans' for b. and c. like to play with it she's she was she's grown big love was on five years right five seasons did you think it would go more. no i feel like i was about right i was contracted for six. i felt like we had kind of told that story of all of you don't even counted up only thumbs of you don. i lost count when you think i figure that somebody can tell me with one of these you know i want to google google him how many films that bill paxton do looking up chance out enough jason i'm
11:25 pm
valerie a good film. you did a millions aliens oh yeah i go way back with jim cameron was that fun but. at the time i was i thought i was i was my character was pushing it was over the top i remember going home and having kind of a stomach ache think good lord they're going to want to see this character die quickly and people loved that character and how about our favorite my submarine movie he had five seven one that was a honor to do that i mean i grew up obviously watching all the great submarine films like run silent run deep and and johnson last directed a great movie and i was fun to play the submarine captain from that time do you think steven spielberg is right when he said that hollywood's going to implode. implode in what way is the course of going up too much well it's twenty five dollars to see iron man well it's been an interesting summer because so many really
11:26 pm
big big budget movies have not not succeeded with the public and to me as a filmmaker and of her as a filmmaker and a producer i see a movie they spend two hundred fifty million i get that expenditure for certain visions it's so expensive and cost for it but i would rather see make seven movies for that amount of money i die if i was a studio exec i'd spread the risk a little bit i'd be looking for all kinds of things i understand the idea of the tent pole. but it's a funny business i mean i think we're going to sneak in with this movie and i think it's going to grab people because it's it's kind of a throwback and it's in those is going to be tremendous so i just want a couple quick things is there a sequel to some of the twister. i've always wanted to do one i always thought we left a lot on the table they're so good but i don't know that would be a question for steven spielberg well could have been you know ron howard from on
11:27 pm
our door the one of the great american film directors who i got to work always with a highlight of my career was working with him on apollo thirteen for snigger for sayer i had a lot of fun working with laurel back in the day and i haven't seen him along to tombstone tombstone is one of those movies that i constantly people have me still sign pictures from just saul valka kilmer by the way to man show mark twain just had a monster that plays and if you have ever seen it know it's a showstopper it's insatiable and you know and if not a valid get a great a great character actor thank you for that larry always a pleasure i love a bill paxon you'll see him in two guns you will thoroughly enjoy this movie and it's a bill paxton you have never seen before. thank you heard it here for. the
