WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO GO SEE A MOVIE OR LAY ON YOUR COUCH AND STREAM SOMETHING. AND OUR FILM CRITIC, LAURA VENEZIANI IS JOINING US LIVE THIS MORNING. AND LAUREN, I’M EXCITED BECAUSE YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT INTERVIEWS AND A REVIEW OF THE FALL GUY. YES, ABSOLUTELY. THERE’S A FEW MOVIES OUT THIS WEEKEND. TWO OF MY FAVORITES OF THE YEAR, ACTUALLY, THAT I RECOMMEND. AND THE FIRST ONE IS THE NEW ROMANCE STARRING ANNE HATHAWAY CALLED THE IDEA OF YOU. THAT’S ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO THIS WEEKEND. IT’S ABOUT A 40 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM WHO ATTENDS A BOY BAND CONCERT AND ENDS UP MEETING AND FALLING IN LOVE WITH THE ONE OF THE MAIN SINGERS PLAYED BY NICHOLAS GALITZINE. AND IT’S BASED OFF OF THE NOVEL OF THE SAME NAME, WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ROMANCE NOVELS. AND I SPOKE TO ANNE AND NICHOLAS FOR THE FILM. THE VERY BEGINNING OF THIS INTERVIEW. JEN ACTUALLY WENT VIRAL ONLINE. SINCE ANNE AND NICHOLAS ARE FREAKING OUT OVER ARSENAL FOOTBALL CLUB, ENGLISH PREMIER FOOTBALL LEAGUE AND THAT’S COOL. THAT TO ME, YES, IT’S A REALLY FUN INTERVIEW. HERE’S A CLIP OF MY INTERVIEW WITH ANNE AND NICHOLAS FOR THE IDEA OF YOU. ONE NIL I’M SORRY. UH JEFF ROSSEN. OH, I LOVE YOU. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. LAUREN, WELCOME, WELCOME. IT WAS A GOOD GOAL TO SAY NO IDEA. I JUST SAW THE ONE THAT WAS LIKE, THE BEST ENTRANCE. YES. SO SORRY. WE’RE JUST CELEBRATING FANS OF THE SAME, UH, TEAM, AND THERE’S A MATCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW. AND DURING OUR LAST INTERVIEW, YOU SCORED A GOAL. SO. EXACTLY. WAIT, WHAT TEAM? ARSENAL. YEAH. ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE SOCCER AND, UM. YES. WE DON’T WANT TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH OF YOUR TIME. LET’S TALK ARSENAL, SHALL WE? BECAUSE WE’VE HAD A ROUGH WEEK, I KNOW. YES, AND NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. AND NICHOLAS. NICE TO MEET YOU. I’M A HUGE FAN OF THE NOVEL. THE IDEA OF YOU AND YOU GUYS DID. SO LENNON, HAYES. TOTAL JUSTICE. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT. THANK YOU FOR TELLING US THAT, UH. THANK YOU. YES, OF COURSE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES IN THE FILM IS THE FIRST KISS SCENE BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM. YOU CAN JUST FEEL THAT NERVOUS ENERGY AND THAT CHEMISTRY. ME? TAKE ME BACK TO SET THAT DAY. WAS THAT SCENE DONE TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF FILMING? NO, NO, THE FIRST SCENE THAT WE HAD TOGETHER WAS, UH, WRITING, WRITING BIKES ACROSS SAND. NICK GOT THE GOOD PATH. I GOT THE PATH THAT THAT’S NOT SO GREAT. TREACHEROUS PATH. THE TREACHEROUS PATH. I FELL OFF MY BIKE THREE TIMES IN A ROW BEFORE WE. BUT VERY GRACEFULLY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND THEN WE HAD TO, IN BATHING SUITS, JUMP INTO THE FREEZING COLD OCEAN AND LIKE. BUT MAKE IT HOT, YOU KNOW, AND THEN WE GOT ONTO A BEACH AND WE MADE OUT AND THEN WE PUT OUR CLOTHES BACK ON AND THEN LIKE, RAN ACROSS HAVANA AND, LIKE, NOW YOU’RE IN BARCELONA, NOW YOU’RE IN ITALY, NOW YOU’RE IN PARIS. AND IT WAS IT WAS SUCH A TRIAL BY FIRE, TRUST, EXERCISE, BONDING EXPERIENCE. YES. SO NO, WE JUST. YEAH. BUT BY THAT SCENE, THE FIRST KISS, I MEAN, THAT WAS MONTHS. IF I WAS LIKE IT WAS TOWARDS THE END OF THE SHOOT, RIGHT. YEAH. THAT WAS TOWARDS THE END OF IT. YEAH. BECAUSE WE, WE SHOT ALL OF SOLON’S HOUSE STUFF IN THE LAST, UH, 3 TO 4 WEEKS OF THE FILM. SO ALL THAT. OH, WOW. THEY WERE. YEAH, THEY WERE SO FUN. AND HATHAWAY IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE. SHE CAN’T DO ANY WRONG IN MY BOOK. SO THE FULL INTERVIEW IS ON MY YOUTUBE DC FILM GIRL. COM AND I’LL SAY, JEN, YOU KNOW, I’M EXTRA TOUGH ON NOVEL ADAPTATIONS, ESPECIALLY ONES THAT I’VE READ AND LOVED. BUT ANNE AND NICHOLAS ARE PERFECT FOR THESE ROLES, AND CAN DO. LIKE I SAID, SHE CAN DO NO WRONG IN MY BOOK AND I LOVE THAT SHE WAS CHOSEN TO PLAY THIS ROLE. I THINK SHE’S 42 YEARS OLD IN REAL LIFE. SHE’S PLAYING A 40 YEAR OLD SINGLE MOM, AND ALSO NICHOLAS’S CHARACTER IS, I THINK THERE’S A 16 YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE IN THE FILM. IN THE NOVEL, IT’S 20 YEARS. BUT ANNA NICHOLAS, DON’T LOOK THAT SIM LIKE THAT. DIFFERENT IN THEY REALLY TO ME. YEAH, THEY REALLY DON’T. YEAH. THIS FILM IS IT ENDS UP BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A ROMANTIC COMEDY. WHEREAS THE BOOK DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A MELANCHOLY TONE, EVEN THOUGH IT IS FUN. BUT I DON’T THINK THAT ANNE AND NICHOLAS, LIKE I SAID, THEY DON’T LOOK THAT DIFFERENT IN AGE. SO IN THE BOOK THAT IS KIND OF LIKE, WOW, YOU CAN DEFINITELY FEEL THE 20 YEAR AGE DIFFERENCE, BUT I WILL SAY I STILL REALLY LOVED THEM IN THE ROLES AND JUST DOES AN AGE. AND IF YOU’RE IN THE MOOD FOR A ROMANCE THAT IS FUN AND SEXY, DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THE IDEA OF YOU STREAMING ON AMAZON PRIME VIDEO. THIS WEEKEND, I’M GIVING IT A FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS. DEFINITELY A GOOD, SOLID BOOK ADAPTATION WITH FANTASTIC ACTORS. ALL RIGHT, SOUNDS GOOD. SOMETHING YOU CAN REALLY SNUGGLE UP ON THE COUCH AND WATCH. BUT LISTEN, THE FALL GUY IS OUT. THAT’S AN ACTION PACKED LIKE YOU EVEN SAID IT WAS. I HAD A MYSTERY STREAMING THROUGH THAT. AND YOU TALK WITH THE DIRECTOR? YES, I DID, I HAD MY INTERVIEW WITH RYAN GOSLING AND EMILY BLUNT LAST WEEKEND THAT WE, I, WE SHOWED YOU GUYS, BUT RYAN PLAYS A STUNT CAR DRIVER WHO’S TRYING TO REBOOT HIS CAREER, AND EMILY’S PLAYING THE FILM DIRECTOR WHO HE IS IN LOVE WITH. I SPOKE WITH DIRECTOR DAVID LEITCH, WHO DIRECTED ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS, ATOMIC BLOND. HE ALSO DIRECTED DEADPOOL TWO, SO I WANTED TO ASK HIM ABOUT THE AWESOME EDITING CHOICES HE MADE TO SHOWCASE THE ROMANCE BETWEEN EMILY AND RYAN’S CHARACTERS, COLT AND JODY. HERE’S A CLIP OF THAT INTERVIEW FOR THE THE FALL GUY. I PARTICULARLY LOVED THE CHOICES YOU MADE TO SHOWCASE JODY AND COLT’S ROMANCE THROUGHOUT, LIKE THE CLOSE UP OF RYAN’S AVIATORS WITH THE REFLECTION OF EMILY. SO CAN YOU JUST TALK ABOUT THAT PROCESS AND YOUR DECISION LIKE BEHIND ALL OF THOSE CHOICES THROUGHOUT THE FILM, THE CHALLENGE WAS TO KEEP THEM CONNECTED BECAUSE ULTIMATELY, IN ANY GOOD ROM COM, THEY’RE A PART, RIGHT? AND THEY’RE LIKE SEPARATED. AND YOU WANT YOU’RE LIKE YEARNING TO SEE THEM TOGETHER. SO ANYTIME VISUALLY THAT I COULD CONNECT THEM. I TRIED TO CONNECT THEM. WHETHER IT WAS HER IMAGE IN THE SUNGLASSES, LIKE YOU SAID, THEIR DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER, LIKE THEY’RE MOVING TOGETHER, LIKE THEY’RE SO IN SYNC, BUT THEY DON’T EVEN REALIZE IT. AND WE, WE’RE, WE’RE LIKE ROOTING FOR THEM AGAIN FOR THAT LINE BETWEEN THEM TO BLUR LIKE SHE SAYS. THE FALL GUY IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF THE YEAR. I’VE SEEN IT TWICE. I THINK IT’S HILARIOUS AND VERY HEARTFELT, AND IT DOES HAVE THAT LINE OF MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE. WHILE PAYING HOMAGE TO THE TV SERIES. KIND OF LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT LAST WEEKEND, JEN. BUT RYAN AND EMILY ARE JUST PERFECT, AND THEY’RE VERY FUNNY. THEY HAVE AMAZING CHEMISTRY. YOU CAN JUST TELL THEY HAD THE BEST TIME FILMING THIS AND REALLY GOT ALONG. THERE’S EVEN A TAYLOR SWIFT MONTAGE. THERE’S ACTION AND STUNT CHOREOGRAPHY. THAT’S DEFINITELY A BIG HIGHLIGHT OF THIS FILM IS HIGHLIGHTING THE STUNT TEAM. HANNAH WADDINGHAM, AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON, STEPHANIE SUE ALSO STAR. THE MOVIE IS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE MOVIES AND LOVE MOVIES ABOUT FILMMAKING. IT WAS ONE OF MY MOST ANTICIPATED OF THE YEAR. IT HIGHLY LIVES UP TO IT AND LIKE I SAID, IT DOES PAY HOMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL SERIES. IF YOU’RE A FAN OF THAT PERFECT BLEND OF ACTION, ROMANCE, THE SUSPENSE AND THRILLS, I’M GIVING THE FALL GUY A FOUR AND A HALF OUT OF FIVE STARS. TOTALLY LIVED UP TO THE HYPE FOR ME. I REALLY CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT. BUT I WANT TO KNOW BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IN THE STUDIO. CAN WE UNSEE HIM AS KEN IN THIS MOVIE? ARE? THAT’S FUNNY BECAUSE EVERYONE IS EVEN MORE OBSESSED WITH RYAN GOSLING NOW THAT HE’S PLAYED KEN, AND YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY UNSEE HIM AS KEN. YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES OF HIS IS DRIVE. WHEN THE ONE OF THE POSTERS I HAVE BEHIND ME, AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE I SEE MORE OF HIS DRIVE CHARACTER FROM 2011 THAN I SEE KEN. SO YEAH, RYAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT ACTOR, AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY UNSEE KEN IN THIS FILM. AND IT’S IT’S A VERY DIFFERENT TONE. I MEAN, BARBIE WAS A COMEDY TOO, AND THIS DEFINITELY HAS A LOT OF COMEDIC VIBES, BUT RYAN GOSLING PERFECTION. CHEF’S KISS. ALL RIGHT LAUREN SOUNDS GOOD. THANKS FOR JOINING US AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE STUDIO SOON BY THE WAY. YES I’LL BE BACK SOON. I PROMISE. ALL RIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD.
