Get ready to get into movie action on Planet Action, starting now!
9
00:00:25,822 --> 00:00:27,447
Coming up later in the show
10
00:00:27,472 --> 00:00:30,673
actor Hugh Jackman shows us the man behind the wolverine
11
00:00:31,001 --> 00:00:34,540
and we get into audition controversies that rocked Hollywood
12
00:00:34,798 --> 00:00:40,407
But first... let's get a taste of the true audition experience that Hollywood actors go through, next
13
00:00:40,829 --> 00:00:43,251
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
14
00:00:45,275 --> 00:00:49,641
To have had parents that have allowed me to be a part of this industry
15
00:00:49,666 --> 00:00:52,290
to take me on auditions every day after school
16
00:00:52,462 --> 00:00:58,681
and to tell stories like this has been my dream ever since I was four years old
17
00:00:58,706 --> 00:01:02,626
not everyone had the benefit of learning how to audition as young as Leo
18
00:01:02,697 --> 00:01:07,532
For most actors, the audition process is one of the worst things about being a performer
19
00:01:07,689 --> 00:01:10,564
Rising star Taron Egerton has a theory about that
20
00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:14,712
So, itās always a little bit frightening, but I think you have to
21
00:01:14,737 --> 00:01:18,040
with auditioning, you kind of have to find a way to love it
22
00:01:18,065 --> 00:01:20,196
I love the challenge of it, I love the thrill of it
23
00:01:20,221 --> 00:01:23,610
And there is a kind of,you sort of thrive on the nervous energy
24
00:01:23,727 --> 00:01:31,189
I find that Iām terrified up until the moment I arrive and go in, and then it kind of dissipates
25
00:01:32,595 --> 00:01:34,931
but you canāt be an actor if you donāt like auditioning
26
00:01:35,126 --> 00:01:40,118
Many stars do not have particularly fond memories of their early days trying out for roles
27
00:01:40,143 --> 00:01:41,853
Wait a second, were supposed to prepare?
28
00:01:41,885 --> 00:01:46,814
you know I have never remembered when I first started acting
29
00:01:47,253 --> 00:01:51,924
sort of 16 and 17, I think a lot of actors have their James Dean phase,
30
00:01:52,042 --> 00:01:55,963
where every audition, no matter what the part is, they come in and do a James Dean impression
31
00:01:57,437 --> 00:01:58,862
and I definitely had one of those
32
00:01:58,933 --> 00:02:00,808
I started when I was about eight
33
00:02:00,833 --> 00:02:04,154
and things started to pick up when I was about twelve
34
00:02:04,179 --> 00:02:09,661
so, I mean, it took a really long time and a lot of auditioning
35
00:02:09,686 --> 00:02:14,074
and there came a point where my mom you know said to my agents, and my managers
36
00:02:14,099 --> 00:02:16,160
said, you know: Are we in the right place?
37
00:02:16,185 --> 00:02:18,175
Is she as good as everybody says she is?
38
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,004
And my mom always believed in me and she, she stuck with it because she knew it was something that I wanted
39
00:02:24,029 --> 00:02:28,105
and so she saw it and she never gave up on me
40
00:02:28,130 --> 00:02:31,988
But like Taron said, to be an actor, you have to learn to love auditions.
41
00:02:32,013 --> 00:02:35,425
The first audition I did, I sang a song from Les Mis and I got the part
42
00:02:35,450 --> 00:02:37,004
so it has always been good for me
43
00:02:37,029 --> 00:02:39,504
I love what I do and um
44
00:02:39,957 --> 00:02:44,089
and I sort of feel like itās a vocation, it was something that I was meant to do
45
00:02:44,114 --> 00:02:51,408
They said I had it, and as far as I know, I just brought me to my auditions, and Iām really glad they liked me
46
00:02:52,127 --> 00:02:54,947
Iāve never been to drama school, man. Iāve never been to acting school
47
00:02:54,972 --> 00:02:58,616
Seriously, itās not that complicated. If you wanna be an actor, work it at yourself.
48
00:02:58,641 --> 00:03:03,417
Of course there are some actors who find themselves being handed roles without needing to audition
49
00:03:03,442 --> 00:03:04,645
That was pretty cool.
50
00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:06,230
Iām a bit of a natural
51
00:03:06,255 --> 00:03:10,721
but for the most part, even the biggest A-listers had to pound the pavement for a while
52
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:12,869
Itās been a very slow progression for me
53
00:03:12,894 --> 00:03:19,049
I didnāt have to deal with an overnight, suddenly becoming the hottest thing in town
54
00:03:19,074 --> 00:03:23,800
which is a very dangerous thing and a hard thing in order to survive
55
00:03:23,825 --> 00:03:32,027
So for me, Iāve always felt as though Iāve been very fortunate and Iāve received some sort of reward for an awful lot of hard work that Iāve done
56
00:03:32,324 --> 00:03:34,808
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
57
00:03:36,908 --> 00:03:41,407
When it comes to auditions, this star always seems to have it all figured out
58
00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:43,900
as he often gets the lead role in most films
59
00:03:44,111 --> 00:03:48,407
From comedies to superhero flicks to musicals, this actor has done it all
60
00:03:48,432 --> 00:03:50,814
Weāre talking about the one and only, Hugh Jackman
61
00:03:50,853 --> 00:03:55,282
Letās check out how this Aussie actor became a powerhouse in Hollywoodā¦ next
62
00:03:55,611 --> 00:03:58,220
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
63
00:04:00,376 --> 00:04:05,251
Hugh Michael Jackman was born on the 12th of October 1968 in Sydney, Australia
64
00:04:05,447 --> 00:04:09,157
After graduating from university, Hugh attended a local actors center
65
00:04:09,181 --> 00:04:12,704
and was later offered a part in the Australian soap opera Neighbors
66
00:04:12,806 --> 00:04:18,251
But Jackman turned it down, instead enrolling at The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts
67
00:04:18,306 --> 00:04:19,485
When I did training
68
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,884
we did classes from nine in the morning till six at night
69
00:04:23,103 --> 00:04:27,470
So you did Shakespeare, then circus training and then voice, and then fencing
70
00:04:27,634 --> 00:04:32,353
And I loved it, I loved going in and, whatās the new thing? And you learn very quickly to adapt
71
00:04:32,378 --> 00:04:38,118
His newfound skills led to an acting career in Australia, starring in theater, television and films
72
00:04:38,143 --> 00:04:42,392
So, in 1999 when his career went international in the Hollywood movie X-Men
73
00:04:42,417 --> 00:04:46,243
playing the mutant superhero Wolverine, he was already a seasoned pro
74
00:04:46,407 --> 00:04:50,157
The films huge success led to a stream of offers for other superhero films
75
00:04:50,182 --> 00:04:55,399
but Hugh rejected them all to star in the romantic comedy Kate & Leopold opposite Meg Ryan,
76
00:04:55,595 --> 00:04:58,704
where he plays a time traveling duke from the 1800s
77
00:04:59,009 --> 00:05:02,392
He reprised his popular role for a sequel to X-Men, X2
78
00:05:02,475 --> 00:05:05,600
and tackled monsters in the fantasy action adventure Van Helsing
79
00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:10,983
Now Iām in a very blessed situation of being able to choose things I really love to do
80
00:05:11,241 --> 00:05:15,561
But his career was far from over and he continued to take on a diverse slate of roles
81
00:05:15,586 --> 00:05:19,225
2006 saw him star in a third X-Men film, The Last Stand
82
00:05:19,428 --> 00:05:22,233
Woody Allenās Scoop, Darren Aronofskys The Fountain
83
00:05:22,258 --> 00:05:24,273
and Christopher Nolanās The Prestige
84
00:05:24,398 --> 00:05:29,889
The directors Iāve been working with of late have been my dream list of directors
85
00:05:30,053 --> 00:05:34,538
In an already prolific year for Hugh, he also began a long love affair with voice over work
86
00:05:34,663 --> 00:05:36,983
appearing in Happy Feet, where he starred as Memphis
87
00:05:37,008 --> 00:05:39,796
and as Roddy the aristocratic mouse in Flushed Away
88
00:05:40,445 --> 00:05:45,600
In 2008 he joined fellow Aussie Nicole Kidman for the epic Baz Luhrmann romance Australia
89
00:05:45,773 --> 00:05:47,725
with much attention going to a certain kiss scene
90
00:05:47,757 --> 00:05:50,562
and the directorās love of intense close-ups
91
00:05:50,906 --> 00:05:53,038
That first kiss that me and Nicole had
92
00:05:53,609 --> 00:05:56,398
is long, right? Itās a long time coming
93
00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:58,077
Weāre coming, were coming, were coming
94
00:05:58,102 --> 00:06:01,296
And then they kiss and the kiss seems to go for a fairly long time
95
00:06:01,757 --> 00:06:03,561
even longer when youāre sitting with your wife
96
00:06:03,586 --> 00:06:06,374
Jackman hit cinemas in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
97
00:06:06,476 --> 00:06:09,077
The movie earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination
98
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:12,014
as well as his very own star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame
99
00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:15,687
In 2013 he was back again in his signature role
100
00:06:15,835 --> 00:06:20,186
this time in a standalone movie called The Wolverine from director James Mangold
101
00:06:20,374 --> 00:06:22,937
Great director, great cast, great source material
102
00:06:22,962 --> 00:06:27,903
that comic is the best one of it and I donāt know maybe it just took me a little while to get it right
103
00:06:28,005 --> 00:06:33,107
He also hit cinemas as a grieving father in the crime thriller Prisoners with Jake Gyllenhaal and Maria Bello
104
00:06:33,998 --> 00:06:38,716
The following year brought Hughs seventh movie as Wolverine, X-Men: Days of Future Past
105
00:06:38,771 --> 00:06:41,787
After only having a cameo in the last instalment of the franchise
106
00:06:41,812 --> 00:06:45,479
this time his character took center stage in the time travel adventure
107
00:06:45,636 --> 00:06:47,472
Because my character doesnāt age
108
00:06:47,886 --> 00:06:49,995
I as an actor can play both time periods
109
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:52,917
Every other character is played by two different actors
110
00:06:53,167 --> 00:06:57,706
So the audience, and me, get this incredible opportunity
111
00:06:57,841 --> 00:07:06,035
to see Michael Fassbender or Ian McKellan or James McAvoy, Patrick Stewart playing the same character, Jennifer Lawrence, itās an amazing cast
112
00:07:06,114 --> 00:07:09,949
The handsome star took on two of his more villainous roles in 2015
113
00:07:09,974 --> 00:07:12,794
First up, Neil Blomkampās android adventure Chappie
114
00:07:12,973 --> 00:07:15,567
It is a science fiction film, but it feels very realistic
115
00:07:15,592 --> 00:07:20,115
Itās funny, it is very touching and heart-warming and moving
116
00:07:20,194 --> 00:07:21,233
and incredible action
117
00:07:21,258 --> 00:07:23,842
And I think it also makes you think a little bit
118
00:07:23,867 --> 00:07:25,490
Itās got something for everyone in there
119
00:07:25,515 --> 00:07:28,068
And he also exhibited a rather unusual look
120
00:07:28,093 --> 00:07:31,287
as the pirate Blackbeard in the Neverland origin story Pan.
121
00:07:31,312 --> 00:07:33,420
Keep your mouth shut, they like gold.
122
00:07:33,490 --> 00:07:37,287
He then made a move to comedy with the uplifting movie Eddie The Eagle
123
00:07:37,398 --> 00:07:39,084
Eddie the Eagle,hah?
124
00:07:39,701 --> 00:07:41,451
Has kind of a ring to it I guess
125
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:44,022
Before wrapping up his long career as Wolverine
126
00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:46,186
returning to the character for two last films
127
00:07:46,211 --> 00:07:48,045
X-Men: Apocalypse and Logan
128
00:07:48,115 --> 00:07:49,772
Every two or three years
129
00:07:49,905 --> 00:07:53,482
years for seventeen years, Iāve known that was coming. But along the way
130
00:07:53,803 --> 00:07:55,849
Iāve done theater or hosting the Academy Awards
131
00:07:55,874 --> 00:07:58,819
there are so many highlights of film stuff, Les Mis,
132
00:07:58,844 --> 00:08:00,842
itās been an extraordinary journey
133
00:08:00,967 --> 00:08:03,384
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
134
00:08:05,744 --> 00:08:11,197
Hugh Jackman is arguably the most successful actor to bring the comic book anti-hero, Wolverine, to life
135
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:15,916
In the movie, The Wolverine, the Marvel stars character goes to Japan to meet an old frien
136
00:08:15,955 --> 00:08:19,853
but instead, gets roped into a conspiracy involving yakuza and mutants.
137
00:08:19,878 --> 00:08:22,525
Letās get into that wild actionā¦ next
138
00:08:22,650 --> 00:08:24,931
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
139
00:08:27,018 --> 00:08:30,220
Iāll never hurt you or anyone again. I made a vow.
140
00:08:31,299 --> 00:08:32,799
Some vow
141
00:08:32,854 --> 00:08:36,736
Hugh Jackmans final outing as the famous X-man Wolverine is titled Logan
142
00:08:36,761 --> 00:08:38,861
and recently dominated the box office
143
00:08:38,909 --> 00:08:41,673
It was the third time he starred in a solo film for the character
144
00:08:41,752 --> 00:08:46,697
and for todayās trivia well be looking at the second one, which is simply titled The Wolverine
145
00:08:46,854 --> 00:08:50,065
To get a better understanding of where to place the events of this film
146
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,861
it takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand
147
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,916
although itās written as a stand-alone feature
148
00:08:54,986 --> 00:08:57,830
In terms of the comics the clawed mutant originates from
149
00:08:57,855 --> 00:09:00,166
this picture is based on his Japanese saga
150
00:09:00,229 --> 00:09:01,635
So yes, you guessed it
151
00:09:01,660 --> 00:09:04,369
the story takes place in the land of the samurai
152
00:09:05,439 --> 00:09:09,267
When we bring him to Japan heās vulnerable in new ways
153
00:09:09,292 --> 00:09:12,299
He doesnāt understand the language, he doesnāt understand the culture
154
00:09:12,494 --> 00:09:18,205
In some ways itās very good for him, but it also makes him unsure of what everyone is doing and what secrets theyāre holding
155
00:09:18,330 --> 00:09:21,947
And then of course lastly we make him vulnerable in a more extreme way
156
00:09:21,974 --> 00:09:25,388
which is that he actually loses his power to heal in the film
157
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,380
and suddenly he could die at any point
158
00:09:28,465 --> 00:09:31,910
And I think thatās one other level of vulnerability that we explore
159
00:09:31,988 --> 00:09:35,660
You might have noticed, but Hugh Jackman looks extremely ripped in the movie
160
00:09:35,777 --> 00:09:38,457
For the shirtless scenes he wanted to look as buff as possible
161
00:09:38,668 --> 00:09:41,059
And what do you do when you want to achieve such a thing?
162
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,973
Thatās right, you ask Dwayne Johnson for advice
163
00:09:43,998 --> 00:09:47,949
With some help from the Rock, Jackman gained a pound a week over six months
164
00:09:48,215 --> 00:09:50,746
by eating 6000 calories a day
165
00:09:50,879 --> 00:09:52,527
For the scenes in question
166
00:09:52,552 --> 00:09:55,967
Hugh wouldnāt consume any liquid for 36 hours ahead of filming
167
00:09:56,037 --> 00:09:58,654
as dehydration tightens the muscles even further
168
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,217
He later admitted, though, that it made him feel headachy and faint
169
00:10:02,505 --> 00:10:04,888
He worked so hard on his physicality
170
00:10:05,138 --> 00:10:08,006
You know, What an incredible body he has
171
00:10:08,537 --> 00:10:10,099
I also think that itās
172
00:10:10,131 --> 00:10:16,435
if anything itās the greatest uniform Logan has, is just letting it rip with his body and just being there
173
00:10:16,724 --> 00:10:20,529
In the end The Wolverine was an enjoyable film but failed to make a huge Impact
174
00:10:20,802 --> 00:10:24,677
The next collaboration between Hugh Jackman and director James Mangold was Logan
175
00:10:24,834 --> 00:10:27,912
and to be honest youāre probably better off watching that one
176
00:10:28,459 --> 00:10:30,324
Good, cut. We got it, Good,deal

178
00:10:34,849 --> 00:10:37,326
The process of casting a movie is a harrowing one
179
00:10:37,459 --> 00:10:41,075
not only for the directors but especially for the stars as well
180
00:10:41,451 --> 00:10:45,239
Plenty of stars have made huge mistakes during auditions that have cost them the role
181
00:10:45,326 --> 00:10:49,123
and some were just so good at being bad that they actually bagged the role of a lifetime
182
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:53,822
Letās have a look at more casting experiences from more Hollywood celebritiesā¦ next
183
00:10:53,948 --> 00:10:56,534
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
184
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:01,578
Before actors are cast in films
185
00:11:01,603 --> 00:11:05,109
they have to do auditions to convince the producers and the casting director
186
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:10,546
We often think that at some point stars become so famous they can basically pick whatever part they like
187
00:11:10,859 --> 00:11:13,718
but the truth is that even the A-list has to keep doing them
188
00:11:14,047 --> 00:11:17,851
So letās look at how actors perceive the painful process of casting
189
00:11:18,195 --> 00:11:21,125
Well start at the very beginning, when theyāre just breaking through
190
00:11:21,150 --> 00:11:24,664
Youāre there, youāre handing your CV around or your headshot
191
00:11:24,914 --> 00:11:27,945
And trying to prove yourself and go through the rings
192
00:11:28,156 --> 00:11:31,632
And there were times I was really busy and times when I wasnāt
193
00:11:31,657 --> 00:11:34,000
and you justā¦ you never know in that town
194
00:11:34,164 --> 00:11:38,961
Well getting cast as the superhero Thor in the Marvel Universe was a huge boost for his career,
195
00:11:39,093 --> 00:11:40,944
and pretty much an instant breakthrough
196
00:11:41,070 --> 00:11:43,593
Still, Chris continues to have to do auditions
197
00:11:43,617 --> 00:11:48,046
and youād be surprised what famous actors have to go through to impress casting directors
198
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:52,055
Iām doing less auditions now as I was previously
199
00:11:52,093 --> 00:11:54,179
or havenāt done one for a while
200
00:11:54,562 --> 00:11:56,570
but yeah, there are certain directors,
201
00:11:56,595 --> 00:12:00,333
you know thereās Spielberg and Scorsese that youād audition for in a heartbeat
202
00:12:00,490 --> 00:12:02,489
And so they stillā¦
203
00:12:02,514 --> 00:12:07,106
it doesnāt matter who you are, theyāll always ask certain people to read for them
204
00:12:07,454 --> 00:12:10,689
Itās the worst. no,I still do
205
00:12:10,893 --> 00:12:14,033
absolutely I still have to fight for every role,
206
00:12:14,058 --> 00:12:18,414
and the one good thing about it is when you get the role you really know you deserve it
207
00:12:18,439 --> 00:12:19,735
And thatās a good feeling
208
00:12:19,774 --> 00:12:21,915
Yeah, oh yeah. I still audition all the time
209
00:12:22,313 --> 00:12:23,977
I had to audition for my last movie
210
00:12:24,024 --> 00:12:25,602
I went to an audition once
211
00:12:25,672 --> 00:12:26,969
on a Saturday
212
00:12:27,188 --> 00:12:30,875
and there was cocaine on the table and I was asked if I wanted to do a line
213
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:36,070
At an audition in 1980. 81?
214
00:12:36,305 --> 00:12:39,469
The audition process can be quite confusing to outsiders
215
00:12:39,579 --> 00:12:43,274
For example the actors often donāt even get to play the role they tried out for
216
00:12:43,765 --> 00:12:48,248
Simply put, the casting people just want to examine the style and personality of the actor
217
00:12:48,647 --> 00:12:50,718
In some cases it goes even further
218
00:12:50,743 --> 00:12:54,608
as the role is still a secret and they canāt risk having any scenes being leaked
219
00:12:55,119 --> 00:13:00,212
What happens when you audition for a Bond movie is you donāt get told what role youāre auditioning for
220
00:13:00,408 --> 00:13:03,407
You just get give a script from a previous Bond movie
221
00:13:03,642 --> 00:13:07,882
So I had Eva Greens train scene from Casino Royale to audition with.
222
00:13:08,241 --> 00:13:09,980
And so I didnāt know what I was auditioning for
223
00:13:10,005 --> 00:13:15,910
so it was a huge surprise for me when I finally got offered the role.Thatās when they told me what I was doing
224
00:13:15,965 --> 00:13:17,816
Itās nerve wrecking, itās own art form
225
00:13:17,841 --> 00:13:20,417
Auditioning is nothing like acting in a movie
226
00:13:20,746 --> 00:13:22,551
itās a whole other thing.
227
00:13:23,598 --> 00:13:31,128
Itās pretty scary. I used to work as a casting assistant,
so I have a little bit of an unusual perspective on it
228
00:13:31,153 --> 00:13:34,230
and so that helped me. But itās still really scary
229
00:13:34,255 --> 00:13:38,238
Eventually the biggest stars do reach a point where they no longer have to audition
230
00:13:38,263 --> 00:13:41,738
but thatās a privilege only a very select handful get to experience
231
00:13:41,848 --> 00:13:43,676
but thatās a privilege only a very select handful get to experience
232
00:13:43,701 --> 00:13:48,207
auditioning is a part of movie making that pretty much every actor has to go through

we get to know the actors who have mastered the art of Improvisation
236
00:13:58,324 --> 00:14:02,003
and we get to know the fascinating actress Tilda Swinton a little better.
237
00:14:02,386 --> 00:14:06,457
But first... Letās check out the actors lucky enough to get some sweet acting gigs
238
00:14:06,482 --> 00:14:09,285
but unlucky enough to be hated for their portrayals

Itās not easy choosing who will star in your film
241
00:14:17,795 --> 00:14:21,347
especially with properties where the fans themselves have strong opinions
242
00:14:21,504 --> 00:14:24,863
Here are our Top 3 Action Movie Casting Controversies
243
00:14:25,684 --> 00:14:27,699
At number three, itās Tilda Swinton
244
00:14:27,847 --> 00:14:30,066
When the comic book Dr. Strange became a film,
245
00:14:30,091 --> 00:14:34,816
the character the Ancient One was changed from a Tibetan man into Scottish star Tilda
246
00:14:34,965 --> 00:14:38,996
The director said it was because a wise Asian mentor is too stereotypical
247
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,121
but it still outraged some folks
248
00:14:41,418 --> 00:14:43,434
On the second place we find Jake Gyllenhaal
249
00:14:43,684 --> 00:14:47,730
The lead character in 2010s Prince of Persia is supposed to be, well, Persian.
250
00:14:47,832 --> 00:14:50,238
So itās a bit odd that he was played by Gyllenhall,
251
00:14:50,263 --> 00:14:51,636
whoās of Swedish descent,
252
00:14:51,661 --> 00:14:55,027
with Brit Gemma Arterton as his also-Persian love interest
253
00:14:55,052 --> 00:14:57,590
And our top spot goes to Scarlett Johansson
254
00:14:57,792 --> 00:15:00,699
When the blonde bombshell landed the lead role in Ghost in the Shell
255
00:15:00,746 --> 00:15:02,715
fans of the anime were not pleased
256
00:15:02,973 --> 00:15:06,230
as her character, The Major, was originally Japanese
257
00:15:06,255 --> 00:15:09,980
And ScarJo didnāt help things with her tone-deaf response to the controversy

The casting of Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One in Marvels Doctor Strange
260
00:15:18,886 --> 00:15:21,126
was one that outraged audiences everywhere
261
00:15:21,345 --> 00:15:25,712
Many claim that the role should have gone to an Asian character as depicted in the comics
262
00:15:25,853 --> 00:15:29,345
Ever the consummate actress, Tilda Swinton played the role with finesse
263
00:15:29,431 --> 00:15:30,814
and put the haters to shame

This female action star might have scared the hell out of you with her thirst for blood in the vampire film only lovers left alive
267
00:15:45,329 --> 00:15:48,384
or enchanted you with her sorcery skills in Dr. Strange
268
00:15:48,853 --> 00:15:51,665
It doesnāt describe what I set out to do.you know I...
269
00:15:51,837 --> 00:15:58,329
There are so many thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who set out to be actresses and Iām just not one of them
270
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,313
So it feels fraudulent to describe myself as one
271
00:16:01,338 --> 00:16:05,141
Swinton began her career in theater, performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company
272
00:16:05,166 --> 00:16:07,798
but it didnāt take long before she launched into film roles
273
00:16:08,447 --> 00:16:10,658
What I set out to be was a film fan
274
00:16:10,845 --> 00:16:15,282
And I, luckily, managed to meet some filmmakers along the way
275
00:16:15,689 --> 00:16:19,212
Early in her career, Hollywood didnāt seem completely sure what to do with Tilda
276
00:16:19,642 --> 00:16:23,079
she managed to land supporting parts in movies like The Chronicles of Narnia,
277
00:16:23,197 --> 00:16:25,540
Vanilla Sky and Constantine
278
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,931
It isnāt a job. Itās all dress up and play.
279
00:16:29,181 --> 00:16:33,391
Her performance in 2007s Michael Clayton, however, earned the actress an Oscar,
280
00:16:33,416 --> 00:16:36,048
which she picked up in a particularly special gown
281
00:16:36,603 --> 00:16:40,813
Iām wearing a dress that was made for me by Alber Elbaz of Lanvin
282
00:16:41,056 --> 00:16:46,712
And he made it for me, and I should be so lucky, you know? Iām not going to not wear it
283
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,962
Now Swinton was really taking off.
284
00:16:48,994 --> 00:16:51,946
In her next film, the Coen brothers comedy Burn After Reading,
285
00:16:51,972 --> 00:16:55,073
she starred opposite mega stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
286
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:59,104
I feel like the tiny elephant at the end of the elephant caravan
287
00:16:59,129 --> 00:17:02,003
You know, you just hold on to the end of somebodyās tail and get pulled along
288
00:17:02,097 --> 00:17:06,026
But thereās no pigeonholing the versatile Tilda, she can take on any genre
289
00:17:06,151 --> 00:17:08,886
Whether itās a thriller such as We Need To Talk About Kevin
290
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:14,700
Well, itās a horror film, itās a love story,
291
00:17:15,379 --> 00:17:17,130
yeah, it is like a thriller
292
00:17:17,155 --> 00:17:19,912
Or the vampire flick Only Lovers Left Alive
293
00:17:20,287 --> 00:17:25,325
Vampires. You know, why are we so fascinated by them? I suppose because they ...
294
00:17:25,670 --> 00:17:30,325
because they live these long, long, potentially never-ending lives,
295
00:17:30,763 --> 00:17:35,427
and weāre all so terrified of thinking about mortality that weād rather think about being Immortal
296
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:40,232
She even joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the mystical Ancient One in Doctor Strange
297
00:17:40,537 --> 00:17:42,967
a character she had a few things in common with
298
00:17:43,506 --> 00:17:46,349
Like being really ancient? I kind of know what that feels
299
00:17:46,374 --> 00:17:49,013
well you know, the truth is, any of us could be the Ancient One
300
00:17:49,038 --> 00:17:52,482
Thatās the amazing thing about what is originally in the comics
301
00:17:52,507 --> 00:17:57,489
Who knows who will end up being the Ancient One? The Ancient One is a title
302
00:17:57,623 --> 00:18:01,552
Over the years, Swintons made a number of films with director Wes Anderson
303
00:18:01,670 --> 00:18:06,692
itās clearly a family that Wes has made over the years and
304
00:18:06,873 --> 00:18:12,276
itās a very very easy family to join. I tell you, I was very happy to get that invitation
305
00:18:12,448 --> 00:18:16,721
And sheās also collaborated several time s with Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino
306
00:18:16,831 --> 00:18:25,550
All of us, hopefully, everyone watching this knows what a good friendship is, and a deep, deep friendship is a real blessing
307
00:18:25,582 --> 00:18:30,503
But to work, to make work with your best friend
308
00:18:31,128 --> 00:18:37,108
is just rubies and diamonds and
pearls beyond Itās such a blessing
309
00:18:37,236 --> 00:18:41,220
In addition, Tilda has frequently found herself sharing the screen with Bill Murray
310
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:44,470
like in the 2019 zombie comedy The Dead Donāt Die
311
00:18:44,946 --> 00:18:48,334
Itās funny you refer to the film as a comedy, because of course,
312
00:18:49,264 --> 00:18:51,530
maybe if youāre expecting a comedy
313
00:18:51,566 --> 00:18:54,627
youāll get a bit of a downer.
314
00:18:54,861 --> 00:18:58,525
Maybe if youāre expecting a zombie film, youāll have a bit of a laugh

00:18:58,550 --> 00:19:03,611
I donāt know whether the expectations packaging it are particularly useful with this film
316
00:19:03,951 --> 00:19:06,750
But lest you think the eccentric Swinton has lost her touch
317
00:19:06,828 --> 00:19:10,450
she reassures us that even her comedies donāt have happy endings
318
00:19:11,239 --> 00:19:15,741
When you end the film, you sort of go: And now weāve got to go out into the world
319
00:19:16,097 --> 00:19:20,841
The film has ended. It was a movie. It didnāt end well. But that was a movie
320
00:19:20,866 --> 00:19:23,952
And now we have to leave the cinema and go out
321
00:19:24,193 --> 00:19:30,692
And when we start to behave like zombies, which probably will be within the minute, because weāre going to pick up our cell phones and start to
322
00:19:30,912 --> 00:19:32,404
we just...
323
00:19:32,595 --> 00:19:34,733
You know thereās something uncomfortable about that.
324
00:19:34,790 --> 00:19:35,777
And thatās a good thing

326
00:19:40,273 --> 00:19:43,345
The art of Improvisation is an excellent one to master
327
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:45,092
but only a few do it well
328
00:19:45,277 --> 00:19:48,799
and are actually allowed to by the often-totalitarian directors
329
00:19:49,211 --> 00:19:56,541
These stars are always getting cast for movie roles that call for Improve skills and they step up to the plate with the showmanship that they are known for
330
00:19:56,719 --> 00:19:58,388
Check them outā¦ up next

00:20:03,785 --> 00:20:08,330
The late Robin Williams could make movie magic just by saying whatever popped into his head
333
00:20:08,857 --> 00:20:11,129
but other stars are carrying on his legacy
334
00:20:11,214 --> 00:20:14,240
Here are our Top 3 Actors Who Love to Improvise
335
00:20:14,744 --> 00:20:16,548
At number three, itās Paul Rudd
336
00:20:16,573 --> 00:20:21,477
who prefers working with Improvisational directors like Judd Apatow and Adam McKay
337
00:20:21,502 --> 00:20:25,454
I would say that this way of working and with these people
338
00:20:26,037 --> 00:20:30,156
and having now done it several times, itās the most fun
339
00:20:30,181 --> 00:20:32,450
On the second place we find Melissa McCarthy
340
00:20:32,475 --> 00:20:36,597
She enjoys riffing with her co-stars, but it has to be based on a good script
341
00:20:36,626 --> 00:20:42,066
Sadly, I think half my problem is I donāt, often I donāt think about whatās coming out of my mouth
342
00:20:42,827 --> 00:20:44,975
Which is both slightly good and very bad
343
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,116
And our top spot goes to Bill Murray
344
00:20:47,347 --> 00:20:50,444
who got his start as a performer in the Improve comedy scene
345
00:20:50,593 --> 00:20:53,185
He feels ad libbing can make any project better
346
00:20:53,470 --> 00:20:57,191
I work very loose. I improvise whenever I feel, I mean,
347
00:20:57,717 --> 00:21:00,770
thereās no such thing as an exact line in one of my movies
348
00:21:00,948 --> 00:21:03,313
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
349
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:08,902
No matter how good a Hollywood star is at improvisation
350
00:21:08,967 --> 00:21:12,674
there are always those that criticize and castigate that art form
351
00:21:12,948 --> 00:21:18,713
Some actors have had a great time on set doing improve while others have had a less than stellar experience
352
00:21:18,838 --> 00:21:23,299
Letās get to know all about the improve experience from the show ponies mouthsā¦ next
353
00:21:23,424 --> 00:21:25,822
Ł¾ŁŁŲŖ Ų§Ś©Ų“Ł
354
00:21:27,931 --> 00:21:31,584
I improve all the freaking time, until they tell me to stop
355
00:21:31,609 --> 00:21:38,140
you donāt need to hold onto rules and structures, you can let something evolve
356
00:21:38,165 --> 00:21:42,717
and as long as you aim to capture truth
357
00:21:42,742 --> 00:21:48,076
and trust that truth produces moments, then youāve got a story
358
00:21:48,101 --> 00:21:49,616
The director laughed
359
00:21:49,819 --> 00:21:54,061
and Cruise looked at me and kept the scene going, which is what actors do
360
00:21:54,131 --> 00:21:56,436
and he said: Did you fart? Did you fart?
361
00:21:56,461 --> 00:21:58,538
And I said: Yeah... fart, fart.
362
00:21:58,795 --> 00:22:00,287
And he said:
363
00:22:00,795 --> 00:22:06,146
how can you do that? And I said: I donāt mind. And that dialogue that we did in rehearsal, out of a real fart,
364
00:22:07,053 --> 00:22:08,303
is on the screen
365
00:22:08,328 --> 00:22:16,834
The wedding dance, it just came to me. It was just pure improvisation and I have a distinct sense of rhythm and sort of
366
00:22:16,952 --> 00:22:19,405
I just pulled some great moves out of my old
367
00:22:19,483 --> 00:22:21,374
my old hat and
368
00:22:21,399 --> 00:22:23,944
Because of having done so much before um
369
00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:26,397
and done so much sketch comedy
370
00:22:26,592 --> 00:22:30,959
it was a little bit more improvisational than Iām used to
371
00:22:31,108 --> 00:22:33,045
but I liked that very much
372
00:22:33,070 --> 00:22:39,607
And I like being involved with the script as well and trying to work out a way of making a scene work better
373
00:22:39,632 --> 00:22:42,014
- right
- on the set, you know
374
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:47,332
As an actor I have a hard time saying lines exactly as written
375
00:22:47,692 --> 00:22:50,340
like, and especially over and over again, like saying the exact same thing
376
00:22:50,365 --> 00:22:55,528
I can get the intention and basically the same line, but Iāll probably switch some words around or garble them up
377
00:22:55,888 --> 00:22:59,934
And so itād be hard for me to ask someone else to do that when I canāt do it
378
00:23:00,052 --> 00:23:06,791
Yes, even directors are becoming much more accepting of allowing their cast more input into the filmmaking process through improvisation
379
00:23:06,816 --> 00:23:11,978
Theyāll kind of discover the characters as they go along and then we discover it so were writing it down
380
00:23:12,034 --> 00:23:18,135
were filming them as theyāre doing the rehearsals and then we go back and put the funny stuff into the script and just keep re-working it
381
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,385
We shoot way more stuff than we need, cause were never sure whatās going to be funny or not.
382
00:23:22,689 --> 00:23:30,713
So for every one joke you see, thereās ten less funny ones that we also spent a lot of time and energy shooting
383
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,417
He gave me a lot of freedom to try different things,
384
00:23:34,442 --> 00:23:43,950
you know, and wasnāt so exacting on getting, you know, every word precise, and so I felt very comfortable trying different things
385
00:23:43,975 --> 00:23:47,310
And improve training can be a good foundation for future stardom.
386
00:23:47,335 --> 00:23:54,208
We met in Chicago, studying improvisation in the early 90s, 92 or 93
387
00:23:54,935 --> 00:23:59,825
And I just remember seeing Amy and just thinking she was so cool
388
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:01,412
Just like the coolest person
389
00:24:01,437 --> 00:24:09,513
Yes, I started out with an improve / sketch comedy group in Los Angeles called the Groundlings
390
00:24:09,575 --> 00:24:12,100
I mean I learned so many things at Groundlings
391
00:24:12,125 --> 00:24:15,038
You didnāt know what the next person, what they were going to say
392
00:24:15,139 --> 00:24:18,037
so you couldnāt sit there and be in your own head and be like
393
00:24:18,062 --> 00:24:20,358
how am I going to say this? Shall I say it like this?
394
00:24:20,796 --> 00:24:25,647
You canāt do that you just have to put all of your focus on the other person
395
00:24:25,672 --> 00:24:27,553
Of course, it can go too far
396
00:24:27,578 --> 00:24:28,789
I tried
397
00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:33,503
during several scenes to improve male nudity, but they wouldnāt allow me
398
00:24:34,493 --> 00:24:38,138
Well it was also because we were at lunch and not filming anything
399
00:24:41,775 --> 00:24:43,884

Itās a wrap for Planet Action for now
401
00:24:48,727 --> 00:24:53,241
but you know well bring you more action more time s in more ways than one pretty soon!
402
00:24:53,266 --> 00:24:54,378
See you then!
