:01:17. > :01:24.about the making of Brazil. First, New Year's Eve, a Newcombe difrom

:01:24. > :01:28.director Garry Marshall. 3, 2, 1. The biggest night of my

:01:28. > :01:36.career. All these people have come from all over the world just to be

:01:36. > :01:43.here. It only happens, once a year. It is a story revolves around a

:01:43. > :01:47.life of several different people on New Year's Eve.

:01:47. > :01:53.What I like about it is it's not just about love stories, there are

:01:53. > :01:58.a lot of different things going on. I want to go to Times Square

:01:58. > :02:05.tonight. I'm 15, this is not a training bra. This is not girls

:02:05. > :02:12.gone wild. Every year when New Year's Eve when it ends, you feel

:02:12. > :02:22.like you have a fresh start. My new year resolutions, I just took care

:02:22. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:45.of the first one. You quit your job? Paul is a young energetic, guy.

:02:45. > :02:53.The first baby delivered in the new year gets $25,000. Tess is very,

:02:53. > :03:01.very pregnant and is going to go into labour at any moment. My water

:03:01. > :03:05.broke. That's too early, can you turn it off. How do you suggest I

:03:05. > :03:15.do that. Do a down ward dog or upward dog or

:03:15. > :03:43.

:03:43. > :03:48.Happy new year! Nothing beats New York on New

:03:48. > :03:52.Year's Eve. Danny, I think it is important to always have answers to

:03:52. > :03:57.questions you might be asked. What is your favourite pudding, cheese

:03:57. > :04:03.cake, what is your favourite animal, otter. What is your favourite

:04:03. > :04:08.season, spring. What is the worst film of all time. Could it be show

:04:08. > :04:14.girls, could it be Australia, I have news for you, search is over.

:04:14. > :04:23.The panic is over. I have found the worst film of all time and it's

:04:23. > :04:26.called New Year's Eve. Tltss a moment in it when Lee Michelle

:04:26. > :04:30.starts singing. There should be a warning sign. If you had anything

:04:30. > :04:35.sharp you would hurt yourself. It is a painful two hours. What do you

:04:35. > :04:42.think? I loved it. I didn't love it! Let's talk about the cast. The

:04:42. > :04:49.cast is the big selling point. If ever there was a group of actors

:04:49. > :04:53.assembled for an Apocalypse movie it is this cast, but that doesn't

:04:53. > :05:00.happen. They pair off and teach each other life lessons about

:05:00. > :05:08.second chances and listen to your heart. You have Sarah Jessica

:05:08. > :05:18.Parker, her daughter running away. You have Robert De Niro, just at

:05:18. > :05:20.

:05:20. > :05:30.the point when you think it is not sentimental enough, he used to be a

:05:30. > :05:37.

:05:37. > :05:41.credible actor. You have Catherine Heigl and Jon Bon Jovi. You think

:05:41. > :05:45.the whole cast will slap each other across the face, that film I would

:05:45. > :05:52.go back on Friday and pay money to go and see again. I would take the

:05:52. > :05:56.wife, make an evening of it. I would buy the DVD. Unfortunately

:05:56. > :06:01.they haven't made that film, they have made this one instead. What is

:06:01. > :06:06.embarrassing about it, you have all the actors, Robert denear ra,

:06:06. > :06:10.Jessica Biel, all there, isn't it easier to make something good,

:06:10. > :06:18.isn't it? You have Michelle Pfeiffer who is the best thing in

:06:18. > :06:23.it, the whole thing... What I loved in the screaming, go if you are

:06:23. > :06:33.bored, go, because we were all there and there was physical

:06:33. > :06:35.

:06:35. > :06:41.groaning, there was, like, stop. Catherine who wrote the script,

:06:41. > :06:48.though script is a loose term, I mean, maybe I am not the right

:06:48. > :06:55.person for this... You have ears. It is time for the top five this

:06:55. > :07:02.week. My favourite film cameos and it does contain some strong

:07:02. > :07:09.language. Even the lit littlest cameo moment

:07:09. > :07:19.m a movie can go the deepest. Here are my top five.

:07:19. > :07:46.

:07:46. > :07:50.At number 5, Orson Wells in the Prepare the standard rich and

:07:50. > :08:00.famous contract for Kermit the Frog and company.

:08:00. > :08:03.

:08:03. > :08:09.At number 4, Silvester still own in bananas.

:08:09. > :08:19.The 25-year-old still own as subway thug number one complete with

:08:19. > :08:27.

:08:27. > :08:33.goatee and Cuban heels, some things At number 3, Alec Baldwin. One of

:08:33. > :08:43.the greatest thrills cinema has to offer is when an actor turns up for

:08:43. > :08:47.

:08:47. > :08:54.Let's talk about something important. In this brutal monologue

:08:54. > :09:01.about how to be a better salesman, Alec Baldwin is the most foul

:09:01. > :09:06.mouthed sergeant imaginable. Attention, do I have your attention.

:09:06. > :09:13.Interest. Are you interested? I know you are, because you close or

:09:14. > :09:17.you hit the bricks. Decision. Have you made your decision for Christ?

:09:17. > :09:22.At number 2 Deborah winger in Rachel getting married. I know it

:09:22. > :09:30.is not a cameo because she turns up in several scenes but her

:09:30. > :09:34.appearance as the estranged mother always feels like a cameo.

:09:34. > :09:42.everything all right with the wedding?

:09:42. > :09:52.The sheer thrill of seeing her so beautiful, tightly coiled in this

:09:52. > :09:59.

:09:59. > :10:07.confrontation scene is a prod from At number one, Spike Milligan in

:10:07. > :10:11.The Life of Brian. The pythons adored Milligan in the

:10:11. > :10:21.Goon Show. When they heard he was in Tunisia where they were filming,

:10:21. > :10:27.

:10:27. > :10:37.they asked him to make an Comeeth to us like the scene of the

:10:37. > :10:43.grave. A brilliant top five. We have had

:10:43. > :10:53.many tweets. Lots about Alfred Hitchcock.

:10:53. > :10:54.

:10:54. > :11:04.What is your favourite? Martin score say see After Hours.

:11:04. > :11:11.

:11:11. > :11:18.Next Dreams Of A Life, a drama I am looking for any information no

:11:18. > :11:23.matter how minor... A woman lice dead for three years and at the

:11:23. > :11:32.moment I saw it, I thought I am going to make a film about this.

:11:32. > :11:36.Three years and nobody has come looking for her. I didn't want to

:11:36. > :11:39.concentrate on the circumstances of how she was found. I wanted to

:11:39. > :11:47.concentrate on bringing her back to life and resurrecting her in the

:11:47. > :11:53.sense of creating the person that so many people thought she was.

:11:53. > :11:59.People gravitated towards her. Everybody fancied her. She reminded

:11:59. > :12:06.me of somebody I would like to be. People said she looked like Whitney

:12:06. > :12:16.Houston. The project came through to me like any other really as a

:12:16. > :12:18.jobbing actor. I think in a lot of documentaries, you get a kind of

:12:18. > :12:24.somebody explaining something and then you see it and I wanted to

:12:24. > :12:30.move away from that because the beauty of film is you can begin to

:12:30. > :12:39.create something that is unsaid. One thing she was clear about was

:12:39. > :12:49.to keep me away from the interviews you see in the film, and your first

:12:49. > :12:51.

:12:51. > :12:57.port of call, you want those real- life testaments. I felt I was

:12:57. > :13:07.pursuing the puzzle to be solved. It is like she never really existed.

:13:07. > :13:07.

:13:07. > :13:12.She was a story. It was like someone we made up almost, partly

:13:12. > :13:22.because of the fact way... I think some of it is inexplicable, how

:13:22. > :13:28.

:13:28. > :13:36.this could happen. I think about her a lot really.

:13:37. > :13:42.did she get herself into this situation.

:13:42. > :13:47.Dream of a life is a very special movie. You have this tragic story

:13:47. > :13:53.and a mystery of how anyone falls through the cracks to this extent

:13:54. > :14:00.but particularly someone who was very beautiful and talented. But

:14:00. > :14:05.that mystery, what is so impressive, it is the incredible investigation,

:14:05. > :14:09.she clung on to this news story which everybody else forgot about

:14:09. > :14:15.and has pieced it together and has pulled together the people around

:14:15. > :14:19.her and people who know her. I think she's made something

:14:19. > :14:25.remarkable here. It is original, imaginative and it is a fine piece

:14:25. > :14:30.of filmmaking and detective work. Orson Wells, it is a strange

:14:30. > :14:35.comparison to make, it was a cameo film made out of a nugget of a

:14:35. > :14:40.person and expanded. Strange comparison, dreaming of a life does

:14:40. > :14:43.something similar. I think you might have liked it more than me. I

:14:43. > :14:50.found it incredibly heartbreaking. There were certain lines in the

:14:50. > :14:57.film you never forget, somebody said "How did she melt into her

:14:57. > :15:04.sofa ". I cannot get it out of my head. I read something, somebody

:15:04. > :15:08.said, I have seen 40 films and this is the one, I cannot forget her.

:15:08. > :15:12.People will take the film different ways but anyone who sees it will

:15:12. > :15:17.find it difficult to get out of their heads. There are aspects of

:15:17. > :15:22.this movie are are horrific, but you don't come away feeling

:15:22. > :15:28.horrified as much as just touched. People will respond differently.

:15:28. > :15:36.The brave decision is the casting and having this reconstruction, the

:15:36. > :15:41.risk there is that it comes across as an episode of Crimewatch.

:15:41. > :15:45.thought the end shot, which I won't give away, is absolutely phenomenal

:15:45. > :15:50.and it's very very cleverly released at this time because at

:15:50. > :15:56.Christmas you think about reaching out. You watch it and think who

:15:56. > :16:03.have I not contacted. That is something everyone will have, I

:16:03. > :16:11.hope there is not a Joyce in my life. It's such a strange irony,

:16:11. > :16:16.someone said this film does exactly what New Year's Eve spent so much

:16:16. > :16:21.money trying to do. Dreams Of A Life is on limited

:16:21. > :16:25.nationwide release from Friday 16th December.

:16:25. > :16:35.Director David Fincher is not very keen on giving interviews so when a

:16:35. > :16:40.

:16:40. > :16:48.rare chance arrows for us to talk We need to talk. Who do you think

:16:48. > :16:52.you are? Put some clothes on. I want you to help me catch a killer.

:16:52. > :16:56.You have been quoted in the past about talking about making movies

:16:56. > :17:04.and making films and there is a difference between the two. Which

:17:04. > :17:14.is is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It is a very popular

:17:14. > :17:20.

:17:20. > :17:26.adaptation of a mass culture phenomenon.

:17:26. > :17:36.Hopefully there is stuff in it for repeat viewings, little touches and

:17:36. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:56.Your report is light in another area. Anything you chose not to

:17:56. > :18:06.disclose? He's had a long standing sexual relationship, it wrecked his

:18:06. > :18:09.

:18:09. > :18:12.marriage, but not hers. Earlier in your career, there were

:18:12. > :18:16.headbuttings with Hollywood, is that somebody you feel you don't

:18:16. > :18:21.have to deal with now, you get the respect of those? I don't think it

:18:21. > :18:26.is about respect. I think if you are involved in an endeavour where

:18:26. > :18:31.you have to get $100 million from somebody to do your craft, you are

:18:31. > :18:38.going to have differences of opinion about how it should be

:18:38. > :18:43.spent. It is creative Darwinism, the best ideas usually win out.

:18:43. > :18:51.terms of being fatalistic, there have been films in the past which

:18:51. > :18:57.haven't got the reception, is that something that bothers you or do

:18:57. > :19:02.you finish the film and move on. The reception of Fight Club was,

:19:02. > :19:12.other than what I had hoped for, it was other than I expected. I

:19:12. > :19:20.

:19:20. > :19:25.thought people would understand I don't want to die without any

:19:25. > :19:30.scars. Hit me before I lose my nerve. People who are responsible

:19:30. > :19:40.for trying to get asses on seats, they felt the movie wasn't funny,

:19:40. > :19:47.that it had no wit to it, it was just a bare knuckle boxing picture.

:19:47. > :19:52.The fact that it was completely misunderstooned by people whose job

:19:52. > :19:59.it was to solicit an audience only created more of a disparity between

:19:59. > :20:06.what the audience's expectations was. People that went, went to see

:20:06. > :20:12.violence. Thinking about Fight Club and The Social Network, both films

:20:12. > :20:17.were talked about, films which said something about contemporary

:20:17. > :20:27.reality, is that something you feel obliged to deal with? The Social

:20:27. > :20:29.

:20:29. > :20:34.Network was a script I read that I thought was amazingly facile. But I

:20:34. > :20:38.think the notion of it being an indictment of a culture was

:20:38. > :20:48.something that was trialled on, a little bit heavy after the film

:20:48. > :20:53.

:20:53. > :21:03.came out. Is For my mind it was better as a piece of entertainment.

:21:03. > :21:04.

:21:04. > :21:14.If it talked about a larger issue which is American or cultural

:21:14. > :21:25.

:21:25. > :21:34.exceptional. Facebook is cool. You don't know what it is yet. How far

:21:34. > :21:41.it it can go. You know what's cool... A billion dollars. How do

:21:41. > :21:46.you balance the relationships on set, I don't think it is

:21:46. > :21:52.dictatorial at all. I will say this, if the movie is great, I am going

:21:52. > :22:00.to get too much credit. If the movie sucks I am going to get too

:22:00. > :22:07.much flap. My first movie was a disaster. I stupidly felt that the

:22:07. > :22:13.people financing it had more to lose than I did if it was bad. I

:22:13. > :22:21.allowed myself to be to be steered into this communal making and then

:22:21. > :22:24.when the shit hits the fan, all of a sudden, you are the guy standing

:22:24. > :22:30.there, going who has got a suggestion now. If I am going to

:22:30. > :22:36.take the blame, the brunt of it, I am going to make the decisions.

:22:36. > :22:40.you had to choose one piece from your career so far that you were

:22:40. > :22:50.ploughedest of? I don't know, do the best you can, try to live it

:22:50. > :22:55.now. A good motto to live by. I love the hand shake. Also we will

:22:55. > :23:05.be bringing you, we will be discussing the girl with a dragon

:23:05. > :23:14.

:23:14. > :23:21.Is anyone out there? Another Earth, I guess I would

:23:21. > :23:28.describe it as epic, minimalist, science friction dramatic thriller.

:23:28. > :23:38.It is basically a drama with someone science friction element

:23:38. > :23:39.

:23:40. > :23:49.that serves the purpose of the metaphor. It does have a science

:23:50. > :23:53.

:23:53. > :23:59.friction element. All 6.3 billion of us are also living. People

:23:59. > :24:02.coming in expecting aliens and lasers and blood and guts and

:24:02. > :24:11.nuclear weapons and things growing out of people's heads, that is not

:24:11. > :24:16.in the movie, but using the science friction literature ideas, the

:24:16. > :24:26.twist on reality to understand something about humans, that is the

:24:26. > :24:33.

:24:33. > :24:40.idea. It is about a girl. She does something unforgivable. She goes to

:24:40. > :24:46.apologise, she lies to him. Here we have two characters that are

:24:46. > :24:50.isolated and when they come together they lift each other's

:24:50. > :24:59.spirits up, they find this joy. Even though it is built on a lot,

:24:59. > :25:02.she doesn't reveal her identity as the killer of his family. There is

:25:02. > :25:08.something bittersweet that is beautiful and joyous about it and

:25:08. > :25:16.yet the underpinning is so tragic and you know with all secrets there

:25:16. > :25:26.is an expiration date and eventually it is going to pop. It

:25:26. > :25:39.

:25:39. > :25:48.is quite beautiful on the one hand We don't know what's out there.

:25:48. > :25:52.Let me say, lots of tweets about this. One says very good, very

:25:52. > :25:56.promising, fantastic to see original writing in the age of

:25:56. > :26:06.remakes. I really, really like this film. It is small, it's deeply

:26:06. > :26:06.

:26:06. > :26:13.unsettling. I talked about dream of a life, the girl who created it,

:26:13. > :26:16.very impressive, she wrote it, and is in it and it is sci-fi but small

:26:16. > :26:22.and I really believed in their relationship. I found it

:26:22. > :26:28.heartbreaking. I think I liked it less than you. But it's got a lot

:26:28. > :26:38.going for it. The other earth, this very simple idea, nicely executed,

:26:38. > :26:47.

:26:48. > :26:56.visually it's perfect. You sense this Apocalypse movie. There is

:26:56. > :27:01.this human drama at the centre which works brilliantly, a

:27:01. > :27:08.brilliant scientist who causes the car crash, where the wife and child

:27:08. > :27:14.are killed and she ingraishiates herself into his life. It works

:27:14. > :27:18.very well and a lot of that is due to chemistry. A lot of is it is due

:27:18. > :27:23.to the way they move around each other. Two damaged people doing

:27:23. > :27:28.this strange dance around each ear. It works beautifully. I don't think

:27:28. > :27:38.it is perfect, it is just short of what it could be but it is very

:27:38. > :27:41.

:27:42. > :27:51.good. A great ending. A fantastic ending. Antonio Banderos dons a hat

:27:52. > :28:16.

:28:16. > :28:25.It is about Puss In Boots and how his legend came to be. The centre

:28:25. > :28:30.of that the friendship with the egg. How dare you show your face to me.

:28:30. > :28:40.I know you are angry, you have every right, but it is good to see

:28:40. > :28:42.

:28:42. > :28:52.you Puss. He is an outlaw that is obsessed with a great sense of

:28:52. > :29:02.justice. Puss, can you help us, there's no time to waste. I will do

:29:02. > :29:02.

:29:02. > :29:12.it. Considering all the energy and the size of Antonio's personality,

:29:12. > :29:16.

:29:16. > :29:25.I can't think of anyone other than Salma who could really match that.

:29:25. > :29:35.You are dangerous. Humpty says you like danger. Just think of all the

:29:35. > :29:37.

:29:37. > :29:40.trouble we can get into. Fur free to create your own character. They

:29:40. > :29:49.suck very much from your personality to create your

:29:49. > :29:59.character and that is the way to create it. She is making faces,

:29:59. > :30:06.

:30:06. > :30:16.You made the cat angry. You don't want me to get angry. How dare you

:30:16. > :30:33.

:30:33. > :30:37.It's not not Shrek five and no singing involved, but actually it

:30:37. > :30:47.has a lot to be said for it. There is a story, which is great, not all

:30:47. > :30:55.kids have a story but there is one here. It is a spin on Jack and the

:30:55. > :31:05.Beanstalk. There is a lot of personality here. More than

:31:05. > :31:05.

:31:05. > :31:09.anything else, everyone seems like they are having fun. There is a

:31:09. > :31:15.sense of glee and everyone is having a laugh. The dancing is

:31:15. > :31:20.brilliant. You know I like any animal dancing. I am the only
