- 00:00:07,674 --> 00:00:12,012
- Hi, I'm Jon Favreau,
- the director of this movie.
- 2
- 00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:19,019
- So we start off with our logos,
- Paramount and Marvel Studios.
- 3
- 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,024
- And we start here by having...
- 4
- 00:00:24,107 --> 00:00:26,776
- Hopefully, you'll recognise
- some of the dialogue
- 5
- 00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:30,739
- we pulled from the press conference
- that ended the last movie.
- 6
- 00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:36,119
- Otherwise you're hearing the music
- come up,
- 7
- 00:00:37,078 --> 00:00:41,625
- and it's building to something dramatic.
- 8
- 00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:45,378
- It's interesting,
- if you look in the deleted scenes,
- 9
- 00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:48,256
- there was another opening
- we were considering,
- 10
- 00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:53,094
- which was, "Pepper, I'm dying."
- 11
- 00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:56,890
- "Oh, God, I'm dying. Help me. Oh, God."
- 12
- 00:00:56,973 --> 00:01:01,436
- And then you cut on,
- and then you see he's hugging the bowl.
- 13
- 00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:05,899
- That beginning, it didn't work well for us
- for a number of reasons,
- 14
- 00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:07,859
- but we included it
- 'cause it worked as a scene.
- 15
- 00:01:07,984 --> 00:01:11,947
- But in the movie,
- the tone wasn't working well.
- 16
- 00:01:12,989 --> 00:01:18,703
- We had problems in the beginning
- trying to crosscut between light Tony
- 17
- 00:01:18,828 --> 00:01:22,749
- with scenes of Ivan building his stuff,
- 18
- 00:01:22,832 --> 00:01:26,211
- because it just bumped tonally so much.
- 19
- 00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:32,467
- And so we decided, after trial and error,
- trying many different things, to...
- 20
- 00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:35,929
- Instead of having him watch the Expo
- on the screen before he died,
- 21
- 00:01:36,012 --> 00:01:38,139
- which is what we had had here,
- 22
- 00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:41,768
- we figured that we would
- set us in the context of the first film
- 23
- 00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:44,562
- and actually begin this six months ago
- 24
- 00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:50,610
- and give Mickey Rourke
- his opportunity to introduce himself
- 25
- 00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:53,780
- and to create a sense of danger
- at the beginning of the film.
- 26
- 00:01:53,863 --> 00:01:57,158
- We had tried in the first film,
- 27
- 00:01:57,242 --> 00:02:00,412
- which, if you recall,
- starts with a flashback.
- 28
- 00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:03,665
- He's driving around,
- he gets taken hostage,
- 29
- 00:02:03,748 --> 00:02:09,254
- and then we flash back to,
- I think, six weeks earlier, if I recall.
- 30
- 00:02:11,548 --> 00:02:15,552
- And so that allowed us
- to play Tony Stark
- 31
- 00:02:15,635 --> 00:02:17,804
- in a much different way
- than if we had done it linear.
- 32
- 00:02:17,887 --> 00:02:19,207
- We had actually done linear cuts.
- 33
- 00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:21,701
- Everybody who saw the movie said,
- "Why are you doing a flashback?"
- 34
- 00:02:21,725 --> 00:02:23,560
- "Can we see it linear?"
- 35
- 00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:26,396
- And so we put it together,
- and what happens is,
- 36
- 00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,649
- Tony Stark would just not be
- a very likeable guy.
- 37
- 00:02:29,733 --> 00:02:33,403
- Everything he was doing was made...
- He was forgiven much more
- 38
- 00:02:33,486 --> 00:02:37,866
- because you knew that he was gonna
- end up in a really compromised position,
- 39
- 00:02:37,949 --> 00:02:41,161
- and probably the worst position
- that you can think of,
- 40
- 00:02:41,244 --> 00:02:44,956
- which was basically in a hostage video.
- 41
- 00:02:45,081 --> 00:02:48,168
- And so here we wanted
- to create this sense of danger,
- 42
- 00:02:48,251 --> 00:02:51,504
- that something was looming,
- something dangerous was coming.
- 43
- 00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:57,010
- And here, if you see, "arc reactor,"
- and here's your first clue.
- 44
- 00:02:57,093 --> 00:03:01,848
- There's Anton Vanko and Howard Stark.
- What does that mean?
- 45
- 00:03:02,766 --> 00:03:06,603
- Well, Anton Vanko's his dad,
- Howard Stark is Tony's father,
- 46
- 00:03:08,813 --> 00:03:12,025
- and this whole "sins of the father"
- vendetta theme
- 47
- 00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,486
- begins to be introduced here.
- 48
- 00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:18,740
- And here he is
- with his Russian prison tattoos.
- 49
- 00:03:18,823 --> 00:03:22,327
- And there we have on his wall,
- 50
- 00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:27,332
- as any respectable serial killer
- would have, the wall of clippings.
- 51
- 00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:34,422
- And here we're trying to emulate
- the building of the first suit in the cave.
- 52
- 00:03:34,506 --> 00:03:36,966
- So this was Ivan's cave,
- 53
- 00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:40,386
- figuring he's drawing
- from the same information.
- 54
- 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:42,639
- He's the shadow of Tony Stark.
- 55
- 00:03:42,722 --> 00:03:46,601
- And there's our monitors and his little...
- 56
- 00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:51,189
- We had Matty Libatique shooting this.
- We referenced a movie, Pi,
- 57
- 00:03:51,272 --> 00:03:55,401
- that he shot with Darren Aronofsky
- years ago,
- 58
- 00:03:57,237 --> 00:04:01,741
- some of our inspiration
- for the way the monitors were set up.
- 59
- 00:04:01,825 --> 00:04:03,719
- Of course, that was black and white.
- This is color.
- 60
- 00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:07,914
- Here we go. We see that Iron Man
- has become the Person of the Year.
- 61
- 00:04:07,997 --> 00:04:12,085
- We learn clues about what's happened
- over the last six months.
- 62
- 00:04:12,168 --> 00:04:16,214
- There's the parrot drinking the vodka.
- Very important shot.
- 63
- 00:04:16,297 --> 00:04:19,717
- That's all Mickey wanted to know.
- He was like, "Is the parrot shot in?"
- 64
- 00:04:19,801 --> 00:04:22,929
- "What parrot shot?"
- "The parrot drinking,
- 65
- 00:04:23,012 --> 00:04:25,407
- "the cockatoo drinking the vodka."
- I said, "It's not really..."
- 66
- 00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:26,826
- "Well, see if it's in. Can you put it in?
- 67
- 00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:29,203
- "It would mean a lot to me if you put it."
- So, we put it in.
- 68
- 00:04:29,227 --> 00:04:33,231
- There it is. I like the shot, too,
- but that was very important to him.
- 69
- 00:04:33,314 --> 00:04:39,112
- Here we go. This is emulating
- the shot from the first film.
- 70
- 00:04:39,195 --> 00:04:41,030
- Here it is.
- We tried to mirror all that stuff.
- 71
- 00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,284
- And here you hear some choir,
- you hear John Debney's swelling score.
- 72
- 00:04:44,367 --> 00:04:45,719
- Much different than our first film.
- 73
- 00:04:45,743 --> 00:04:50,999
- We wanted this film to feel
- more traditional than the first one,
- 74
- 00:04:51,082 --> 00:04:52,852
- which is a little bit more
- rough around the edges.
- 75
- 00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:54,752
- Here he's been a superhero.
- 76
- 00:04:54,836 --> 00:04:57,714
- I'll be quiet for my credit. Okay, let's...
- 77
- 00:04:57,797 --> 00:05:00,967
- We wanted this to be a superhero film
- 78
- 00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:03,469
- that felt a little bit more
- like other superhero films,
- 79
- 00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:04,304
- 'cause now he's owning it
- a little bit more.
- 80
- 00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:06,180
- 'Cause now he's owning it
- a little bit more.
- 81
- 00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:11,060
- And here we go.
- So, there's our downbeat to the film.
- 82
- 00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:15,315
- Boom. There it is.
- AC/DC, Shoot to Thrill,
- 83
- 00:05:15,398 --> 00:05:16,774
- "Six months later."
- 84
- 00:05:16,858 --> 00:05:19,169
- So, here's what we're trying to do.
- We're trying to do a misdirect.
- 85
- 00:05:19,193 --> 00:05:21,237
- You think it's a mission.
- You don't know what it is.
- 86
- 00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:24,157
- There he is, in the back of a C-17.
- 87
- 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,868
- There's explosives. He jumps off.
- 88
- 00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:34,500
- And this shot was gonna be
- our first introduction to Iron Man
- 89
- 00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,210
- in this movie,
- 90
- 00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:39,094
- setting the table for what I hope
- will be a great reveal of Tony Stark.
- 91
- 00:05:40,965 --> 00:05:42,759
- Because you're waiting for him.
- 92
- 00:05:42,842 --> 00:05:46,387
- I showed this to Garry Shandling,
- who's very aware of...
- 93
- 00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:48,574
- You know, you put on a show,
- especially from stand-up,
- 94
- 00:05:48,598 --> 00:05:49,783
- it's like, "Who's your opening act?"
- 95
- 00:05:49,807 --> 00:05:52,127
- Well, he has Mickey Rourke
- sort of as his opening act here.
- 96
- 00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:56,189
- Now you have the dancing girls
- and you have the music,
- 97
- 00:05:57,482 --> 00:05:59,359
- and then the helmet
- eventually comes off
- 98
- 00:05:59,442 --> 00:06:01,819
- and we introduce Tony. So, it was like,
- 99
- 00:06:05,406 --> 00:06:07,909
- "How far can we go with this?"
- 100
- 00:06:08,493 --> 00:06:10,429
- And there's Flushing Meadow Park.
- I grew up right there.
- 101
- 00:06:10,453 --> 00:06:14,874
- You just saw my building
- that I grew up in, across the street.
- 102
- 00:06:14,958 --> 00:06:17,794
- And we set this thing in the world's fair,
- 103
- 00:06:17,919 --> 00:06:21,047
- but we call it the Stark Expo
- in our world.
- 104
- 00:06:21,130 --> 00:06:24,550
- We're saying that the Expo
- went on every 10 years
- 105
- 00:06:24,634 --> 00:06:28,137
- and Howard Stark,
- Tony's father, set it up.
- 106
- 00:06:29,305 --> 00:06:32,308
- And it hasn't been going on since 1974.
- 107
- 00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:35,311
- And now Tony, as part of his new plan...
- 108
- 00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:37,790
- He said he wasn't making weapons
- any more. What's he been up to?
- 109
- 00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:40,566
- What is he gonna do
- with this new-found power?
- 110
- 00:06:41,317 --> 00:06:46,572
- He's going to put on a show,
- he's going to celebrate himself.
- 111
- 00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:49,242
- This was an image I had in my mind
- pretty early on,
- 112
- 00:06:49,325 --> 00:06:50,743
- the idea of AC/DC blasting.
- 113
- 00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:52,638
- I got the idea for this
- when I was watching AC/DC
- 114
- 00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:54,914
- while we were putting
- the script together.
- 115
- 00:06:54,998 --> 00:06:57,417
- Before we knew what the story was,
- I was at a AC/DC concert
- 116
- 00:06:57,500 --> 00:07:00,169
- and I was like, "This is
- where we should find Tony Stark."
- 117
- 00:07:00,294 --> 00:07:02,422
- "He should be a rock star now."
- 118
- 00:07:02,505 --> 00:07:07,844
- And then I thought of the idea
- of NFL cheerleader-types
- 119
- 00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:10,179
- with a costume that looked like the suit.
- 120
- 00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:13,266
- And then you pull off the costume,
- 121
- 00:07:13,349 --> 00:07:16,602
- you pull off the suit,
- and there he is in a tuxedo,
- 122
- 00:07:16,686 --> 00:07:18,938
- like James Bond
- getting out of the wetsuit
- 123
- 00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:20,440
- with the tuxedo on,
- 124
- 00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:23,276
- 'cause he's kind of like
- a retro James Bond-type.
- 125
- 00:07:25,528 --> 00:07:29,323
- And so, here's where
- he explains the back story.
- 126
- 00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:34,203
- There's been peace. No,
- he hasn't been blowing everything up.
- 127
- 00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:39,208
- Just the appearance of the suit
- settled things down around the world.
- 128
- 00:07:40,501 --> 00:07:43,504
- We wanted to come into this movie
- with an unexpected choice,
- 129
- 00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:48,801
- and that was just basically
- the deterrence of the suit.
- 130
- 00:07:48,885 --> 00:07:51,095
- Much like when the bomb
- was first invented,
- 131
- 00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:54,766
- everything settled down.
- Everybody chilled out a little bit,
- 132
- 00:07:54,891 --> 00:07:58,519
- until, of course,
- the inevitable arms race happened.
- 133
- 00:07:58,603 --> 00:08:01,189
- And that's sort of
- what we're mirroring here
- 134
- 00:08:01,272 --> 00:08:04,400
- with Ivan building the same tech.
- 135
- 00:08:09,197 --> 00:08:11,491
- So now he explains what the Expo is,
- 136
- 00:08:11,574 --> 00:08:14,702
- and what the movie's about, really.
- It's about legacy.
- 137
- 00:08:16,204 --> 00:08:20,958
- Did he inherit the sins of his father?
- What was the best part of his dad?
- 138
- 00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:24,295
- What's he gonna do with his life?
- 139
- 00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:27,048
- And we're about to find out, too,
- 140
- 00:08:27,131 --> 00:08:30,802
- that he knows he's dying
- from this invention.
- 141
- 00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:39,477
- So, Tony's a good guy.
- Tony's still trying to be a good guy here.
- 142
- 00:08:40,978 --> 00:08:44,065
- So he might be a little full of himself,
- 143
- 00:08:44,148 --> 00:08:46,859
- but clearly there's something driving him
- to do something.
- 144
- 00:08:46,943 --> 00:08:51,114
- He knows he's not gonna be around.
- How does he want to change the world?
- 145
- 00:08:51,239 --> 00:08:54,242
- So, he's using
- this unprecedented moment of peace
- 146
- 00:08:54,325 --> 00:09:00,123
- to put the emphasis
- on leaving behind something great.
- 147
- 00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,292
- Now this part, I'm really proud of.
- This is John Slattery. I love Mad Men.
- 148
- 00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:05,312
- I reached out to him,
- I said, "Hey, could you do this?"
- 149
- 00:09:05,336 --> 00:09:08,381
- He says, "Really? Is it...
- What kind of part is it?"
- 150
- 00:09:08,464 --> 00:09:09,799
- "Is it just a cameo?"
- 151
- 00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:12,093
- I'm like, "Well,
- I think there's more to it than that."
- 152
- 00:09:12,176 --> 00:09:13,612
- "I think we could really
- do something cool here."
- 153
- 00:09:13,636 --> 00:09:16,055
- "I think it'll be worth your while."
- 154
- 00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:20,059
- And here he is. He's sort of like
- a Howard Hughes, Walt Disney-type.
- 155
- 00:09:20,143 --> 00:09:25,273
- You can see the great artwork
- on the wall behind him in the little film.
- 156
- 00:09:25,356 --> 00:09:27,859
- We shot the film to look...
- 157
- 00:09:27,984 --> 00:09:33,197
- I think we even shot it
- on 16mm stock. Yeah.
- 158
- 00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:36,135
- There's all the artwork behind him
- of all the Expos from all the decades,
- 159
- 00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:40,830
- and there's the model, and there's even
- a little arc reactor model in there.
- 160
- 00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:42,808
- And we came up with the "O" logo.
- 161
- 00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:45,835
- There's Olivia Munn. She had been...
- 162
- 00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:49,130
- We included in the deleted scenes
- what she had been.
- 163
- 00:09:49,213 --> 00:09:53,134
- She'd been a girl at the party.
- The party had a lot of challenges.
- 164
- 00:09:53,217 --> 00:09:56,304
- And the tone of the party,
- we didn't want it to get too funny.
- 165
- 00:09:56,387 --> 00:10:02,226
- She's a very funny comic actress
- and she did a fine job for us,
- 166
- 00:10:02,351 --> 00:10:09,025
- but we couldn't include that part of it
- because it was throwing the movie off,
- 167
- 00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:11,110
- as good of a job as she did,
- unfortunately.
- 168
- 00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:15,781
- I've been cut out of a lot of stuff myself
- as an actor, because it didn't fit in.
- 169
- 00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:17,283
- There's Larry Ellison.
- 170
- 00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:21,329
- And there's the Stan Lee cameo.
- 171
- 00:10:21,412 --> 00:10:24,957
- And there was Seth Green in there
- for a moment, if you look closely.
- 172
- 00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:27,793
- And here's the lovely and talented
- Kate Mara,
- 173
- 00:10:27,877 --> 00:10:30,213
- and our product placement.
- 174
- 00:10:41,098 --> 00:10:42,618
- And you hear
- the Richard Sherman theme,
- 175
- 00:10:42,683 --> 00:10:43,911
- which I'll talk more about
- in the end credits,
- 176
- 00:10:43,935 --> 00:10:46,270
- playing in the background here.
- 177
- 00:10:46,354 --> 00:10:51,150
- But Olivia Munn, as I was saying before,
- I told her that we couldn't include that,
- 178
- 00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:52,735
- and she came back and did...
- 179
- 00:10:52,818 --> 00:10:54,379
- I said, "We have something
- we're about to shoot."
- 180
- 00:10:54,403 --> 00:10:56,948
- We were doing something
- and some additional photography
- 181
- 00:10:57,031 --> 00:10:58,133
- to help with the exposition,
- 182
- 00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,843
- to help people understand
- what the Stark Expo was,
- 183
- 00:10:59,867 --> 00:11:04,413
- and she came in and did a great job
- as Chess Roberts
- 184
- 00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:06,415
- from the comic books.
- 185
- 00:11:07,541 --> 00:11:07,583
- And here we are
- with a purchased stock shot
- 186
- 00:11:07,584 --> 00:11:10,962
- And here we are
- with a purchased stock shot
- 187
- 00:11:12,296 --> 00:11:15,508
- that does not hold up well in IMAX,
- I might add.
- 188
- 00:11:16,884 --> 00:11:21,722
- Here we go.
- Here he is, Howard Hughes trial,
- 189
- 00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:25,810
- where they're trying
- to nail this guy down,
- 190
- 00:11:25,893 --> 00:11:28,646
- but his personality is too large
- 191
- 00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:32,858
- and he has public opinion on his side,
- because he's doing wonderful things.
- 192
- 00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:35,736
- And there is peace
- and there is prosperity.
- 193
- 00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:38,072
- And he's more powerful
- than the Senate.
- 194
- 00:11:38,155 --> 00:11:41,909
- And it's almost like Caesar.
- It's a Caesar-like rise
- 195
- 00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:48,291
- we wanted to mirror.
- And we wanted to make it fun and funny.
- 196
- 00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:50,334
- And this scene was
- our first day of photography.
- 197
- 00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:53,379
- There's Garry Shandling,
- who I've known for many years.
- 198
- 00:11:53,462 --> 00:11:54,630
- I asked him to do this.
- 199
- 00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:57,383
- He doesn't do films that often,
- he's very selective,
- 200
- 00:11:57,466 --> 00:11:59,135
- and he agreed.
- 201
- 00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:06,976
- And this dialogue, we were beating
- on this thing for a long time.
- 202
- 00:12:07,059 --> 00:12:10,021
- Justin Theroux did many, many passes
- of the scene.
- 203
- 00:12:10,104 --> 00:12:12,023
- It was a very long scene.
- 204
- 00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:13,733
- You see in some
- of the deleted materials
- 205
- 00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:15,401
- that it was actually even longer.
- 206
- 00:12:15,484 --> 00:12:16,610
- We had Coulson in the back.
- 207
- 00:12:16,694 --> 00:12:20,323
- We were introducing a lot of characters
- in the scene.
- 208
- 00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:21,991
- And one of the problems with this movie
- 209
- 00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:23,802
- was that it's slow getting out
- of the blocks.
- 210
- 00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:27,330
- You're introducing a lot of characters,
- there's a lot of beginnings to it.
- 211
- 00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,748
- And we didn't want it to drag.
- 212
- 00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:32,710
- And so, hats off to my editors,
- 213
- 00:12:33,711 --> 00:12:36,464
- Dan Lebental and Rick Pearson.
- 214
- 00:12:36,547 --> 00:12:39,300
- Boy, they worked on this thing...
- This was Rick's...
- 215
- 00:12:39,383 --> 00:12:43,387
- Rick got this from the day we shot it,
- the first day,
- 216
- 00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:46,724
- and there were so many cameras
- and so much footage.
- 217
- 00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:51,062
- This was his hobby.
- He would work on this thing like...
- 218
- 00:12:54,523 --> 00:13:00,279
- It was like the Crazy Horse monument
- in the Dakotas.
- 219
- 00:13:00,363 --> 00:13:03,616
- He would go out there
- with his jackhammer
- 220
- 00:13:03,699 --> 00:13:05,117
- and carve away at this scene.
- 221
- 00:13:05,201 --> 00:13:07,286
- And it took till the end of the movie,
- 222
- 00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:10,131
- till the end of the editorial process
- to finally land on a proper cut.
- 223
- 00:13:10,164 --> 00:13:13,626
- And Dan came in,
- and he offered his insight.
- 224
- 00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:16,879
- It was just a bear.
- It's too long of a scene.
- 225
- 00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:22,176
- We introduce Justin Hammer,
- 226
- 00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:25,888
- played by Sam Rockwell.
- He does a fantastic job.
- 227
- 00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:27,973
- I worked with him originally on Made.
- 228
- 00:13:28,057 --> 00:13:32,978
- If you go back and look at that,
- you'll see he is the concierge,
- 229
- 00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:36,148
- who does a fantastic job in that.
- He's always great.
- 230
- 00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:39,151
- And I wanted to hire somebody that...
- We really made the part for him.
- 231
- 00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:41,237
- Because it was supposed to be
- two Russians,
- 232
- 00:13:41,362 --> 00:13:44,240
- then it was going to be one Russian.
- 233
- 00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:46,385
- And Ivan was gonna get killed,
- there was gonna be Boris,
- 234
- 00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:47,719
- and he was gonna get killed
- on the track.
- 235
- 00:13:47,743 --> 00:13:52,081
- But then the other Russian
- was gonna continue on.
- 236
- 00:13:52,164 --> 00:13:54,500
- And I was like,
- "Boy, I wish I could hire Sam,"
- 237
- 00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:56,585
- "but I don't want to see
- Sam do it with an accent,"
- 238
- 00:13:56,669 --> 00:14:01,340
- and so we made it Justin Hammer,
- another character from the books.
- 239
- 00:14:01,924 --> 00:14:04,009
- 'Cause Rockwell
- was actually somebody who,
- 240
- 00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:05,678
- when we were making lists of people
- 241
- 00:14:05,761 --> 00:14:07,930
- that would be interesting choices
- to play Tony
- 242
- 00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:12,101
- before I met with Robert,
- 243
- 00:14:13,102 --> 00:14:14,520
- as we were putting ideas together,
- 244
- 00:14:14,603 --> 00:14:17,356
- which is the way the casting process
- works for all of these roles,
- 245
- 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,609
- he was a name I kept throwing out.
- I said, "I know he doesn't seem obvious",
- 246
- 00:14:20,693 --> 00:14:23,296
- "but this guy is really talented.
- He could do something cool with it."
- 247
- 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,573
- And what's fun now is
- I got him to come in
- 248
- 00:14:25,656 --> 00:14:28,242
- and play a very broad
- 249
- 00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:33,247
- and comedic version
- of another one of his...
- 250
- 00:14:33,330 --> 00:14:37,084
- Like, the guy
- who wants to be Tony Stark,
- 251
- 00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:40,254
- who took over
- when Tony vacated the position
- 252
- 00:14:40,337 --> 00:14:41,922
- because he gave up making weapons.
- 253
- 00:14:42,006 --> 00:14:46,010
- And here this second-rate Tony Stark
- comes in,
- 254
- 00:14:46,135 --> 00:14:49,305
- and more often than not,
- it makes you cringe.
- 255
- 00:14:49,430 --> 00:14:51,765
- And I love that kind of humor,
- and Sam was great at it.
- 256
- 00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:54,143
- He really owned it, and he never...
- 257
- 00:14:54,268 --> 00:14:56,746
- He had a lot of fun with it,
- but I think he kept the reality of it
- 258
- 00:14:56,770 --> 00:14:59,940
- to the level that was right
- for the tone of this film.
- 259
- 00:15:00,649 --> 00:15:01,984
- And there's Don Cheadle.
- 260
- 00:15:02,109 --> 00:15:04,528
- We introduced him earlier
- with a shot over his back.
- 261
- 00:15:04,653 --> 00:15:06,298
- We were really thinking about
- how we'd do that,
- 262
- 00:15:06,322 --> 00:15:09,033
- because we were gonna show that shot
- at Comic-Con.
- 263
- 00:15:09,158 --> 00:15:13,162
- And we figured, everybody was asking
- about the recasting,
- 264
- 00:15:13,287 --> 00:15:17,249
- and so to start on his back
- and bring him in and have them say...
- 265
- 00:15:17,333 --> 00:15:20,169
- Actually, I think that wasn't even
- in the script.
- 266
- 00:15:20,294 --> 00:15:25,007
- That was something that me, Don
- and Rob were like, "What do we do?"
- 267
- 00:15:25,132 --> 00:15:27,510
- "How do we acknowledge
- that something's changed?"
- 268
- 00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:29,803
- And we threw out some lines,
- 269
- 00:15:29,887 --> 00:15:34,391
- and the one I ended up liking the most
- was, "I didn't expect to see you here."
- 270
- 00:15:34,517 --> 00:15:38,521
- And he goes, "Look, it's me. I'm here.
- Deal with it. Let's move on."
- 271
- 00:15:38,646 --> 00:15:40,022
- And I thought that that was...
- 272
- 00:15:40,147 --> 00:15:42,000
- 'Cause whenever you cast somebody
- in a superhero movie,
- 273
- 00:15:42,024 --> 00:15:43,585
- they never really acknowledge it.
- And I thought it was fun,
- 274
- 00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,249
- at least for the fans, to acknowledge it.
- 275
- 00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:47,047
- But not in a way
- that it bumped for the film,
- 276
- 00:15:47,071 --> 00:15:49,740
- 'cause it still works for the characters.
- 277
- 00:15:49,865 --> 00:15:52,034
- And we have our fun with all of his tech.
- 278
- 00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:55,246
- There's the, "What's the next version
- of the iPhone?"
- 279
- 00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:58,249
- Of course, just a piece of glass.
- 280
- 00:15:58,374 --> 00:16:00,501
- The prop people were coming up
- with different ideas
- 281
- 00:16:00,584 --> 00:16:01,794
- for his phone and device,
- 282
- 00:16:01,877 --> 00:16:04,296
- and I was like,
- "Just make it a piece of glass."
- 283
- 00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,632
- And so, that's what it is,
- just a piece of glass,
- 284
- 00:16:06,715 --> 00:16:09,009
- and then we put some stuff on it.
- 285
- 00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:13,472
- Those, what we call the "feebles,"
- those other robots that didn't work,
- 286
- 00:16:13,556 --> 00:16:16,225
- a little bit inspired by RoboCop.
- 287
- 00:16:19,895 --> 00:16:23,524
- Those were actually tests
- that were done by vendors
- 288
- 00:16:23,607 --> 00:16:25,526
- and we ended up using them in the film.
- 289
- 00:16:25,609 --> 00:16:27,528
- And there were some fine, very fine...
- 290
- 00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:30,906
- I think that was Hydraulx,
- if I'm not mistaken.
- 291
- 00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:34,785
- A lot of great little houses that were
- able to contribute to this production.
- 292
- 00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:40,403
- Here we go. Here's the way
- to get around using the F-word.
- 293
- 00:16:40,457 --> 00:16:43,252
- I figured if it is on TV,
- we could bleep him doing it.
- 294
- 00:16:43,335 --> 00:16:48,007
- Because he said it...
- He actually improvised it, if I recall.
- 295
- 00:16:48,090 --> 00:16:49,883
- There was a lot of improvisation here.
- 296
- 00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:53,137
- We stuck to the script,
- but we embellished.
- 297
- 00:16:55,139 --> 00:16:57,325
- Good stuff. There's some outtakes.
- You should really look at it.
- 298
- 00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:00,477
- You should really look at it
- in the deleted scenes,
- 299
- 00:17:00,602 --> 00:17:03,605
- see what Rockwell did.
- He pulled out a doll.
- 300
- 00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:05,399
- That wasn't in the script.
- 301
- 00:17:05,482 --> 00:17:09,028
- And that was good.
- That was in for a while.
- 302
- 00:17:09,111 --> 00:17:11,822
- We wanted to make him
- a little more formidable than that.
- 303
- 00:17:11,905 --> 00:17:13,633
- The real estate in this scene
- was very valuable
- 304
- 00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:15,784
- because it was such a long scene,
- 305
- 00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:19,038
- and anything
- that could be removed was,
- 306
- 00:17:19,121 --> 00:17:23,792
- just in the interest of pacing
- and getting to...
- 307
- 00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:26,462
- There's not a lot of action sequences
- in this film
- 308
- 00:17:26,545 --> 00:17:29,256
- compared to most films of the genre,
- so we wanted to make sure
- 309
- 00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,759
- that we never let things
- settle down too long.
- 310
- 00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:34,928
- And there he is.
- There's the cockatoo that he has.
- 311
- 00:17:35,012 --> 00:17:37,222
- That wasn't in the original script,
- 312
- 00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:40,225
- but he wanted to have
- 313
- 00:17:40,309 --> 00:17:43,687
- the idea of having some sort of
- little pet or companion.
- 314
- 00:17:44,355 --> 00:17:47,167
- I saw a picture of him with a cockatoo
- at a boxing gym that I had gone to,
- 315
- 00:17:47,191 --> 00:17:48,650
- I think the Wild Card one.
- 316
- 00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:51,153
- There was a picture of him
- feeding a bird, I remembered.
- 317
- 00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:54,615
- He told me the story about the cockatoo.
- I love cockatoos. My favourite animal.
- 318
- 00:17:54,698 --> 00:17:58,827
- Thought it might be interesting.
- Little bit more like a pirate.
- 319
- 00:17:58,911 --> 00:17:59,952
- There we go. And he cuts it in half.
- 320
- 00:17:59,953 --> 00:18:01,056
- There we go. And he cuts it in half.
- 321
- 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,414
- Then we go back to the house.
- 322
- 00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:03,808
- And so we ended up with the bird,
- 323
- 00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:06,001
- and then we added
- a lot of bird stuff throughout.
- 324
- 00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,270
- And if you look in the deleted scenes,
- 325
- 00:18:07,294 --> 00:18:11,131
- he actually snaps the bird's neck
- at the end of the movie.
- 326
- 00:18:11,215 --> 00:18:13,842
- It's not in the film now,
- but that was in the movie for a while.
- 327
- 00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:16,678
- A little off-putting to the kids.
- 328
- 00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:20,265
- And Jarvis is back.
- We love Paul Bettany. He's great.
- 329
- 00:18:21,850 --> 00:18:24,395
- And Dummy and You,
- we wanted to bring them back in here.
- 330
- 00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:26,790
- And there's that green goo
- he was drinking in the last movie.
- 331
- 00:18:26,814 --> 00:18:28,107
- We look like geniuses now
- 332
- 00:18:28,190 --> 00:18:31,318
- 'cause we bring it back
- and explain what it's for.
- 333
- 00:18:31,402 --> 00:18:32,945
- Or not.
- 334
- 00:18:34,405 --> 00:18:35,572
- At least call stuff back,
- 335
- 00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:39,034
- and then it seems
- like you know what you're doing.
- 336
- 00:18:40,202 --> 00:18:43,664
- There's our little... Testing his blood.
- 337
- 00:18:44,706 --> 00:18:46,309
- Jarvis helps us here
- with some exposition.
- 338
- 00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:50,129
- This was actually
- a much longer scene before,
- 339
- 00:18:50,212 --> 00:18:54,633
- where he was testing different elements
- in his new holographic environment.
- 340
- 00:18:54,716 --> 00:18:56,135
- We wanted to up his workshop.
- 341
- 00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:58,029
- If you look,
- you'll see the floor is now shiny.
- 342
- 00:18:58,053 --> 00:19:01,640
- It's like a holograph-projection surface.
- 343
- 00:19:01,723 --> 00:19:04,143
- We played with it a little bit
- in the re-shoots last time.
- 344
- 00:19:04,226 --> 00:19:07,980
- It was very fun with him designing
- the Mark II suit using a holograph,
- 345
- 00:19:08,063 --> 00:19:13,735
- and so we used it here
- in his whole workshop.
- 346
- 00:19:17,906 --> 00:19:20,510
- So, now we find out the device
- that's keeping him alive is killing him.
- 347
- 00:19:20,534 --> 00:19:23,620
- We developed this sort of
- fractal rash thing,
- 348
- 00:19:23,704 --> 00:19:27,166
- and he's hiding it from his best buddy
- 349
- 00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:30,002
- and potential love interest.
- 350
- 00:19:30,085 --> 00:19:31,587
- There's my car.
- 351
- 00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:34,023
- That was the screen saver
- from the first film, if you remember,
- 352
- 00:19:34,047 --> 00:19:36,717
- when Stane walks in.
- 353
- 00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:41,430
- And here we go.
- There's your Hall of Armour back there.
- 354
- 00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:45,100
- And if you look here,
- we developed a new system
- 355
- 00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:49,104
- to up the ante,
- to make his workshop a little high-tech.
- 356
- 00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:54,026
- There's the suitcase suit right there.
- A little foreshadowing moment.
- 357
- 00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,364
- He's given away his artwork.
- 358
- 00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:03,619
- Some classic cars, a '50 Merc,
- 359
- 00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:07,206
- of course a '32 Ford,
- best car ever made.
- 360
- 00:20:09,416 --> 00:20:13,128
- And now we see he's working
- on the Mark VI back there.
- 361
- 00:20:13,795 --> 00:20:17,132
- Not that anybody's supposed to notice,
- but it's there.
- 362
- 00:20:17,257 --> 00:20:19,885
- And here we go. I don't know...
- 363
- 00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:23,972
- During the time
- that this movie was being developed,
- 364
- 00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:29,061
- Obama was voted in,
- and so we had a little fun with that.
- 365
- 00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:33,649
- And now, how do you...
- 366
- 00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:38,153
- How do you sort of echo
- the first workshop scene,
- 367
- 00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:39,738
- but show how things are different?
- 368
- 00:20:39,821 --> 00:20:42,157
- So, we tech-up the place,
- and their relationship...
- 369
- 00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:44,910
- Clearly, things are getting tougher
- for all these people here.
- 370
- 00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:49,331
- We're showing the Expo's coming,
- the Expo actually just opened.
- 371
- 00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:52,334
- We show that there's 362 days left
- to show it's the same Expo.
- 372
- 00:20:52,459 --> 00:20:55,420
- People didn't understand that
- the Expo actually lasts a whole year.
- 373
- 00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:56,505
- World's fairs did.
- 374
- 00:20:56,630 --> 00:20:59,007
- They thought it was a second Expo
- at the end of the film.
- 375
- 00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:04,513
- So we have in bold letters,
- "Now open. 362 days left."
- 376
- 00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:08,433
- At least we tried.
- 377
- 00:21:08,517 --> 00:21:10,662
- If you didn't understand that,
- then it's not our fault.
- 378
- 00:21:10,686 --> 00:21:12,813
- We did the best we could.
- 379
- 00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:16,775
- So, we see that his life is...
- He was real busy in the first one,
- 380
- 00:21:16,858 --> 00:21:18,738
- well, now he's Iron Man, also,
- so his life is...
- 381
- 00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:21,863
- The wheels are coming off.
- He can't handle it.
- 382
- 00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:25,951
- And he promotes Pepper to CEO,
- 383
- 00:21:26,034 --> 00:21:31,373
- which is as close as you're gonna get
- between the two of these
- 384
- 00:21:31,498 --> 00:21:34,209
- to a marriage proposal.
- They know each other,
- 385
- 00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:38,589
- there's clearly an emotional bond
- that they're not really acknowledging,
- 386
- 00:21:39,214 --> 00:21:42,050
- and this is about the nicest thing
- he could do for her,
- 387
- 00:21:42,175 --> 00:21:45,596
- and it shows that he really respects her
- and trusts her.
- 388
- 00:21:46,221 --> 00:21:50,225
- Little does she know
- how tough her life will get very quickly.
- 389
- 00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:51,935
- And she really does a nice job here.
- 390
- 00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:54,187
- I think Debney does a really nice job
- with the music.
- 391
- 00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:57,190
- Robert is charming as hell here.
- 392
- 00:21:59,026 --> 00:22:01,945
- And there it is.
- They have their nice little moment.
- 393
- 00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,740
- Kind of the high point, really.
- 394
- 00:22:06,408 --> 00:22:07,868
- That scene was much longer, too.
- 395
- 00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:11,413
- You can look at that.
- I think we have that included.
- 396
- 00:22:12,956 --> 00:22:17,628
- There are the three Buddhas back there.
- 397
- 00:22:18,712 --> 00:22:21,340
- Not sure. I always notice them.
- 398
- 00:22:22,758 --> 00:22:26,094
- And here we go.
- Looks pretty good for a backlot.
- 399
- 00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:30,223
- Mike Riva did a nice job there.
- 400
- 00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:36,688
- This was a longer scene, slightly,
- 401
- 00:22:39,107 --> 00:22:42,736
- and he would reveal a tattoo on his neck
- with the 10 Rings.
- 402
- 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:55,040
- Mongolian man would reveal
- on his neck a 10 Rings tattoo,
- 403
- 00:22:55,123 --> 00:22:56,958
- with the same little logo
- 404
- 00:22:57,042 --> 00:23:00,629
- as was on the flags in the cave
- in the first film.
- 405
- 00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:02,839
- We didn't include that.
- 406
- 00:23:03,465 --> 00:23:07,469
- But if you look in the credits,
- he's referred to as...
- 407
- 00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:09,432
- I think "10 Rings"
- is the name of his character.
- 408
- 00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:13,100
- So a little clue of
- what's to come in the future,
- 409
- 00:23:13,183 --> 00:23:15,811
- and how it relates to the Mandarin.
- 410
- 00:23:20,148 --> 00:23:21,900
- And there's me.
- 411
- 00:23:22,859 --> 00:23:26,530
- And there is Natalie
- 412
- 00:23:28,323 --> 00:23:30,117
- with her nice Veronica Lake hair.
- 413
- 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,540
- She had other looks in her wardrobe
- that were more striking,
- 414
- 00:23:36,665 --> 00:23:39,584
- but because we wanted to do the stunt
- where she flipped me here,
- 415
- 00:23:39,668 --> 00:23:42,087
- we had to keep her in slacks.
- 416
- 00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:49,344
- And, boy, she practiced this,
- we practiced this a lot, separately.
- 417
- 00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,264
- I think this was the first time
- we did it together.
- 418
- 00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:56,143
- And here she goes.
- There's a lot of improv here.
- 419
- 00:23:56,226 --> 00:23:59,020
- We ended up with just a silent moment.
- 420
- 00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:11,825
- He's a little off-put.
- Tony's not speechless too often.
- 421
- 00:24:11,908 --> 00:24:13,827
- But just her...
- Look at how she looks at him.
- 422
- 00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:18,498
- Boy, she knows how to work it.
- She has tremendous presence.
- 423
- 00:24:18,582 --> 00:24:21,918
- And now, here they are.
- She knows that she likes him.
- 424
- 00:24:22,002 --> 00:24:25,922
- There's no jealousy here
- because they're not together.
- 425
- 00:24:26,006 --> 00:24:30,677
- But are they together or not,
- and is he doing this to drive her crazy?
- 426
- 00:24:33,597 --> 00:24:35,658
- So, is she saying, "No, she's not,"
- because she's jealous,
- 427
- 00:24:35,682 --> 00:24:37,744
- or is she saying, "No, she's not,"
- 'cause it's a bad choice?
- 428
- 00:24:37,768 --> 00:24:40,896
- It's not a very good choice
- for an assistant.
- 429
- 00:24:42,022 --> 00:24:44,441
- You do not want... As good as she is,
- 430
- 00:24:44,524 --> 00:24:49,529
- you don't want somebody
- with that energy in Tony Stark's life.
- 431
- 00:24:54,743 --> 00:24:56,536
- "Who speaks Latin?"
- "No one speaks Latin."
- 432
- 00:24:56,620 --> 00:24:58,538
- That was actually something that...
- 433
- 00:24:58,622 --> 00:25:00,892
- I always love when Gwyneth
- starts giving me notes on the script,
- 434
- 00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:03,352
- because I always just put it in the script.
- "She speaks Latin."
- 435
- 00:25:03,376 --> 00:25:05,536
- And she was explaining, she said,
- "Nobody speaks Latin.
- 436
- 00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:08,632
- "It's a dead language."
- She could write it. I said, "Just put it in."
- 437
- 00:25:08,715 --> 00:25:12,969
- That happened in the first film, too.
- There's me. Yeah, I did my stunt there.
- 438
- 00:25:13,053 --> 00:25:16,264
- In IMAX you can see that, that's
- my double in the reflection in the glass,
- 439
- 00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:18,308
- but I did the stunt.
- 440
- 00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:21,353
- And, no, it was not fun.
- 441
- 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:27,609
- Here we go.
- 442
- 00:25:29,611 --> 00:25:31,279
- I like that joke.
- 443
- 00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:34,407
- And here they are.
- 444
- 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,744
- Great. He signs the company over.
- 445
- 00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:41,832
- So, it already gets kind of bad
- for Pepper. Poor Pepper.
- 446
- 00:25:41,915 --> 00:25:44,668
- She's made CEO,
- 447
- 00:25:45,627 --> 00:25:49,881
- and then realizing that now
- she's gonna be further away from him.
- 448
- 00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:53,009
- There we go. Here's Monaco.
- 449
- 00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:54,344
- There we go. Here's Monaco.
- 450
- 00:25:55,136 --> 00:25:56,346
- The palace.
- 451
- 00:25:56,471 --> 00:25:59,850
- I'd been to Monaco many years ago,
- and this was another one of the...
- 452
- 00:25:59,933 --> 00:26:02,561
- You know, you gotta come up
- with the set pieces before
- 453
- 00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:03,964
- the whole story's fully in place,
- 454
- 00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:05,660
- and I was like,
- "We gotta do Monaco, man."
- 455
- 00:26:05,689 --> 00:26:08,191
- "We did Vegas last time. You gotta up it.
- You gotta do Monaco."
- 456
- 00:26:08,275 --> 00:26:09,943
- 'Cause we're kind of like...
- 457
- 00:26:10,026 --> 00:26:14,406
- Tonally, we're kind of like
- the James Bond movies I grew up with.
- 458
- 00:26:14,489 --> 00:26:18,493
- You know, the ones now
- are kind of edgy and more real.
- 459
- 00:26:18,577 --> 00:26:22,581
- The ones then were kind of
- tongue-in-cheek. It was kind of fun.
- 460
- 00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:23,957
- You know, it was a fantasy.
- 461
- 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,626
- And there I am with the suitcase.
- 462
- 00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:28,378
- That was a comp shot.
- 463
- 00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:31,798
- So, we built the Hótel de Paris
- a Bar Americain.
- 464
- 00:26:32,465 --> 00:26:34,593
- This is where I had been
- many years ago,
- 465
- 00:26:34,676 --> 00:26:36,011
- and this was my memory of Monaco.
- 466
- 00:26:36,094 --> 00:26:41,683
- I had been flown out there by the Prince
- as part of the Television Festival
- 467
- 00:26:42,183 --> 00:26:47,522
- and for a black-tie premiére
- of Rocky Marciano.
- 468
- 00:26:47,647 --> 00:26:51,192
- And, boy, it was amazing
- to go there, man.
- 469
- 00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:55,822
- I felt like royalty. I was nobody.
- This is before anything.
- 470
- 00:26:56,531 --> 00:26:58,366
- And there I was.
- 471
- 00:26:58,491 --> 00:27:01,661
- I'd gotten that gig off of Friends.
- I had just done Swingers, actually.
- 472
- 00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:03,848
- And after Friends, I did Rocky Marciano,
- 473
- 00:27:03,872 --> 00:27:06,374
- and nobody... It was a Showtime movie.
- 474
- 00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:08,793
- And there's Elon Musk, by the way,
- back there.
- 475
- 00:27:08,877 --> 00:27:11,713
- You'll see his place later, SpaceX.
- 476
- 00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:14,883
- He's as close as you're gonna get
- to the real Tony Stark.
- 477
- 00:27:15,008 --> 00:27:19,054
- And he helped us.
- He let us shoot in his place
- 478
- 00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:23,725
- in exchange for a cameo,
- and that was it. He's a great guy.
- 479
- 00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:25,977
- We've become friends.
- I met him through Robert.
- 480
- 00:27:26,061 --> 00:27:28,730
- Robert spoke to him for research.
- 481
- 00:27:30,899 --> 00:27:33,902
- And here she is.
- And actually Sam and her,
- 482
- 00:27:36,363 --> 00:27:38,239
- in a relationship in real life.
- 483
- 00:27:38,365 --> 00:27:42,494
- And I know Leslie Bibb,
- and it seemed fun.
- 484
- 00:27:42,577 --> 00:27:44,722
- I said, "Yeah. Let's have her.
- Let's work her into this film."
- 485
- 00:27:44,746 --> 00:27:48,083
- And then this great bit came out of it.
- And I love this little...
- 486
- 00:27:49,918 --> 00:27:51,145
- I don't know if people
- are gonna remember her,
- 487
- 00:27:51,169 --> 00:27:53,672
- that the first movie started
- with him in bed with her
- 488
- 00:27:53,755 --> 00:27:56,424
- after she was interviewing him
- from Vanity Fair.
- 489
- 00:27:56,549 --> 00:27:59,594
- And poor Justin's just trying
- to be like him,
- 490
- 00:27:59,719 --> 00:28:03,306
- and the girl he's with has already
- slept with Tony, and it's just...
- 491
- 00:28:03,431 --> 00:28:04,849
- This poor guy.
- 492
- 00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:06,077
- I love him, but he's annoying.
- 493
- 00:28:06,101 --> 00:28:09,187
- I just get happy
- when he's on the screen.
- 494
- 00:28:09,270 --> 00:28:13,733
- I'm a character actor, so I like when
- somebody makes some cool choices.
- 495
- 00:28:14,317 --> 00:28:15,753
- And, of course, look at Robert here.
- 496
- 00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:20,281
- He's just slamming him down
- left and right. It's not even a fair fight.
- 497
- 00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:24,828
- It's not even a fair fight, and she's
- more interested in Tony than him.
- 498
- 00:28:25,787 --> 00:28:30,291
- You know, it's a little bit of a
- Daffy Duck/Bugs Bunny going on here.
- 499
- 00:28:33,461 --> 00:28:35,130
- This poor guy.
- 500
- 00:28:35,255 --> 00:28:37,465
- And now he checks his heart
- in the mirror,
- 501
- 00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:39,467
- and we see that things
- are not going well.
- 502
- 00:28:39,592 --> 00:28:43,304
- He's checking his blood,
- and we see the rash is not good.
- 503
- 00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:46,224
- Why is he doing it, man? What the...
- 504
- 00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:50,311
- You know, we had a lot of discussions
- about this. Why is he...
- 505
- 00:28:50,437 --> 00:28:52,605
- What's he doing wrong
- that he deserves this?
- 506
- 00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:56,693
- Just in the greater scheme of things
- in the movie. I mean, he's just...
- 507
- 00:28:57,193 --> 00:29:00,864
- He's holding it all together,
- and he wants to cut loose.
- 508
- 00:29:02,282 --> 00:29:05,118
- And he's a thrill-seeker and he loves...
- 509
- 00:29:05,201 --> 00:29:09,122
- You know,
- people get addicted to adrenaline.
- 510
- 00:29:09,205 --> 00:29:14,002
- They get addicted to fame. They get
- addicted to living a life that way.
- 511
- 00:29:14,127 --> 00:29:17,380
- And so, as the chips
- are really getting down for him,
- 512
- 00:29:17,505 --> 00:29:19,674
- and as his blood toxicity's going up,
- 513
- 00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:21,527
- and he realizes
- that it's the end of the road.
- 514
- 00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:24,429
- He's not gonna be able
- to solve this problem.
- 515
- 00:29:24,512 --> 00:29:26,890
- So, it's like, "What the hell?"
- 516
- 00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:32,228
- And, of course, that's when
- he makes himself vulnerable.
- 517
- 00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:35,523
- And so, here's Pepper.
- 518
- 00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:39,110
- Now Pepper's very upset here,
- and that's just something that,
- 519
- 00:29:39,194 --> 00:29:41,613
- you know,
- when we were cutting this together,
- 520
- 00:29:41,696 --> 00:29:43,424
- "Why is she so upset?
- She knows she's got..." Well, no.
- 521
- 00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:47,827
- It's like if the President leaves his,
- you know, little security zone
- 522
- 00:29:47,911 --> 00:29:49,263
- and does something
- he's not supposed to do...
- 523
- 00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:50,997
- If you go to a ball game
- with the President
- 524
- 00:29:51,081 --> 00:29:52,391
- and he's supposed
- to throw out the first pitch
- 525
- 00:29:52,415 --> 00:29:57,212
- and then sit in the stands, in the box,
- and then you see him running around
- 526
- 00:29:57,879 --> 00:30:00,924
- in the field without
- his Secret Service protecting him,
- 527
- 00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:04,511
- you know, you worry.
- And so, this is not cool.
- 528
- 00:30:04,594 --> 00:30:07,931
- And so, she's upset.
- 529
- 00:30:08,056 --> 00:30:11,768
- She knows it's not good
- even before she knows about Ivan.
- 530
- 00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:12,936
- That's the thinking here.
- 531
- 00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:15,480
- And there, I like that little...
- It's nice when...
- 532
- 00:30:15,563 --> 00:30:17,291
- We were able to do that
- with two different units
- 533
- 00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:21,402
- and make it all come together.
- There we are. We built this car.
- 534
- 00:30:23,738 --> 00:30:26,782
- So, we, of course, designed a red car
- for Iron Man.
- 535
- 00:30:26,783 --> 00:30:27,968
- So, we, of course, designed a red car
- for Iron Man.
- 536
- 00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:30,120
- And then Robert was like,
- "No, it should be blue."
- 537
- 00:30:30,245 --> 00:30:32,997
- Like, "Why blue? Red is Iron Man."
- He said, "It should be blue.
- 538
- 00:30:33,081 --> 00:30:35,208
- "Don't want it to be red. Make it blue."
- 539
- 00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:39,212
- And so, actually, you see
- the color scheme of the Iron Man car
- 540
- 00:30:39,295 --> 00:30:42,799
- is actually on, I think, Hammer's car,
- one of the other ones.
- 541
- 00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:47,095
- I'm like, "Why is he being blue?
- It should be red."
- 542
- 00:30:47,178 --> 00:30:50,223
- And it's like, I'm so happy it's blue now.
- 543
- 00:30:51,141 --> 00:30:53,101
- It looks so cool blue.
- 544
- 00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:59,941
- So, you know, that's why
- sometimes you gotta be open, man.
- 545
- 00:31:01,651 --> 00:31:03,671
- 'Cause I like it in blue, man.
- I can't even picture it red.
- 546
- 00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:06,489
- It would've been hokey red. He's right.
- 547
- 00:31:08,158 --> 00:31:10,743
- If you see,
- those plates were actually shot,
- 548
- 00:31:10,827 --> 00:31:12,427
- you know, the cars,
- we never raced there.
- 549
- 00:31:12,495 --> 00:31:14,622
- Those cars were all digital,
- done by Digital...
- 550
- 00:31:14,706 --> 00:31:17,333
- Done by, excuse me,
- Double Negative out of England.
- 551
- 00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:19,137
- These plates we shot,
- these are real plates.
- 552
- 00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:22,338
- They populated it with the crowd
- and matched it up.
- 553
- 00:31:22,422 --> 00:31:24,299
- We built this part of the set in Downey
- 554
- 00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:27,343
- 'cause we couldn't shoot clearly
- in Monaco.
- 555
- 00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:31,723
- They were shooting...
- The track was being set up for the race.
- 556
- 00:31:31,806 --> 00:31:34,726
- We got in there before the race,
- cleared out for the race,
- 557
- 00:31:34,809 --> 00:31:39,397
- so we shot the stands
- and we shot the background plates,
- 558
- 00:31:39,856 --> 00:31:41,316
- and then we put our cars into it.
- 559
- 00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,319
- They let us have access
- to the track for a little while.
- 560
- 00:31:44,402 --> 00:31:46,988
- Those boats were all digital back there.
- 561
- 00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:48,615
- And we walked every inch of this path.
- 562
- 00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:51,534
- This part is called Tabac
- 'cause there's a tobacco shop.
- 563
- 00:31:51,618 --> 00:31:57,707
- It's very well-known by race fans,
- every turn in this course.
- 564
- 00:31:58,666 --> 00:32:04,339
- And that car, that's Dan Sudick,
- our effects guy,
- 565
- 00:32:04,422 --> 00:32:07,550
- flipping real cars.
- I mean, we built those things.
- 566
- 00:32:07,634 --> 00:32:08,968
- And there's the suitcase suit.
- 567
- 00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:11,679
- And there's us. That's a great comp.
- We never were in Monaco.
- 568
- 00:32:11,763 --> 00:32:13,514
- I scouted beforehand,
- 569
- 00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:16,392
- and then they shot with the second unit
- with the actual car.
- 570
- 00:32:16,476 --> 00:32:20,772
- Digital door, real track, real car,
- fake race cars.
- 571
- 00:32:20,855 --> 00:32:23,399
- So there's all different combinations
- of layers in these things,
- 572
- 00:32:23,483 --> 00:32:27,111
- of real and not real,
- and I think that's why it's convincing.
- 573
- 00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:30,865
- But the idea of a Rolls-Royce
- racing towards him
- 574
- 00:32:30,949 --> 00:32:32,801
- and the whips on the track,
- this was something...
- 575
- 00:32:32,825 --> 00:32:35,286
- This was an image I had in my head.
- 576
- 00:32:35,370 --> 00:32:37,163
- And so, a lot of this was hard.
- 577
- 00:32:37,247 --> 00:32:41,709
- The resources were, you know,
- never opulent
- 578
- 00:32:43,586 --> 00:32:47,257
- because of the nature of the production.
- 579
- 00:32:47,966 --> 00:32:49,717
- But I was able to get it to be Monaco.
- 580
- 00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:52,679
- It was very hard for me
- to get it to be Monaco.
- 581
- 00:32:52,762 --> 00:32:56,599
- If it wasn't for the cooperation
- of the Prince and the ACM,
- 582
- 00:32:56,683 --> 00:32:59,602
- it never would've happened.
- They really helped,
- 583
- 00:33:01,229 --> 00:33:02,480
- and I'm very grateful for that.
- 584
- 00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:04,123
- Because I think if it was Long Beach...
- 585
- 00:33:04,148 --> 00:33:07,068
- I mean, as cool as Long Beach is,
- and I've been there and it's great,
- 586
- 00:33:07,151 --> 00:33:09,904
- I don't think it has the same impact
- 587
- 00:33:10,613 --> 00:33:15,576
- of feeling like you're on the world stage.
- It's still California. And this is...
- 588
- 00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:21,582
- I mean, this is Monaco.
- Monte-Carlo is Monte-Carlo.
- 589
- 00:33:22,625 --> 00:33:28,756
- It's a brand, it's a whole image,
- and it evokes a whole nostalgic...
- 590
- 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,093
- You know,
- it just represented the right thing.
- 591
- 00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:35,513
- And so, we have to be very clear that
- it was the Historic race and not the F1
- 592
- 00:33:35,596 --> 00:33:39,684
- because that's a whole different thing.
- That's a different organization.
- 593
- 00:33:39,767 --> 00:33:41,769
- So there's a lot of signage around,
- if you look.
- 594
- 00:33:41,894 --> 00:33:48,609
- And the cars are actually retro cars
- and not current F1 design.
- 595
- 00:33:49,610 --> 00:33:52,447
- Here we go. We wanted him to
- fight without the suit on,
- 596
- 00:33:52,572 --> 00:33:53,698
- and so put him in peril.
- 597
- 00:33:53,781 --> 00:33:57,118
- We didn't want the whole movie
- to be just dudes fighting in suits.
- 598
- 00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,078
- And the idea of Whiplash
- 599
- 00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:04,959
- and the guy with this Road Warrior-type
- powered whips was cool.
- 600
- 00:34:05,084 --> 00:34:07,795
- I liked the idea of him with tattoos.
- 601
- 00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:12,133
- You know, I was thinking he could be
- like this Eastern Promises-type dude.
- 602
- 00:34:12,258 --> 00:34:16,721
- And then the idea of Mickey came about.
- I had seen The Wrestler,
- 603
- 00:34:16,804 --> 00:34:19,223
- and I was like, "Man, this guy's great."
- 604
- 00:34:19,307 --> 00:34:22,894
- And then, of course,
- all the awards attention came
- 605
- 00:34:22,977 --> 00:34:24,204
- and it became very hard to even...
- 606
- 00:34:24,228 --> 00:34:27,315
- I met with him
- before all that awards stuff happened
- 607
- 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,734
- and showed him the pictures.
- 608
- 00:34:29,817 --> 00:34:34,989
- I met with him in I. when he was here,
- and he was into it.
- 609
- 00:34:35,114 --> 00:34:37,742
- And then, of course,
- all the awards stuff happened.
- 610
- 00:34:37,825 --> 00:34:40,328
- It was very hard to get him to commit
- 611
- 00:34:40,453 --> 00:34:42,497
- because he was traveling around
- promoting it.
- 612
- 00:34:42,622 --> 00:34:46,709
- Fortunately, Robert was also going
- around promoting for awards season
- 613
- 00:34:46,834 --> 00:34:48,294
- because of Tropic Thunder.
- 614
- 00:34:48,378 --> 00:34:50,814
- And Robert would be like,
- "Hey, you gonna do the movie or not?"
- 615
- 00:34:50,838 --> 00:34:53,466
- And he would corner him in interviews,
- which was great.
- 616
- 00:34:53,549 --> 00:34:57,178
- And Robert's always been a real partner
- in every aspect of the production.
- 617
- 00:35:00,181 --> 00:35:03,393
- There we go.
- And we actually cut up a Phantom,
- 618
- 00:35:04,018 --> 00:35:09,690
- which I thought was both exciting
- and heart-breaking.
- 619
- 00:35:10,691 --> 00:35:15,405
- I guess we've always destroyed
- really nice, iconic, expensive cars.
- 620
- 00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:18,032
- We did the Cobra in the last film.
- 621
- 00:35:18,699 --> 00:35:23,079
- But, you know, it's just...
- I don't know, it's just unique.
- 622
- 00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:28,960
- Look at that, man. I was in there for that.
- That was not fun.
- 623
- 00:35:29,043 --> 00:35:31,313
- That's real, man. That's not digital.
- That thing's coming...
- 624
- 00:35:31,337 --> 00:35:34,590
- I mean, the whip's digital,
- but the car was really coming apart.
- 625
- 00:35:34,715 --> 00:35:37,218
- And here we go. The suitcase suit.
- 626
- 00:35:38,094 --> 00:35:41,931
- Oh, boy. I was like, "How do we do it?
- How do we..."
- 627
- 00:35:43,099 --> 00:35:46,519
- It's sort of like,
- "What do we do that we haven't done?"
- 628
- 00:35:46,602 --> 00:35:50,231
- And the idea of the suitcase suit,
- you know, it was like, "Could we do it?"
- 629
- 00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:52,859
- But you can't do it
- like in the comic books.
- 630
- 00:35:52,942 --> 00:35:55,570
- And so, this was a very hard thing
- to conceive of
- 631
- 00:35:55,695 --> 00:35:57,047
- and actually make look convincing.
- 632
- 00:35:57,071 --> 00:35:59,282
- It wasn't till about halfway through post
- 633
- 00:35:59,407 --> 00:36:02,118
- that I was convinced that
- this thing was gonna work.
- 634
- 00:36:02,243 --> 00:36:04,221
- Because you wanted it
- to fit within the reality of our world.
- 635
- 00:36:04,245 --> 00:36:05,955
- You didn't want it to just morph onto him
- 636
- 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,624
- or be like liquid metal, like, you know,
- T2 metal.
- 637
- 00:36:08,916 --> 00:36:13,462
- That was done. That's been done.
- We had to do something cool and fresh.
- 638
- 00:36:15,673 --> 00:36:19,760
- And the people at Double Negative
- really worked very hard on that.
- 639
- 00:36:20,803 --> 00:36:23,181
- Very hard, and I'm very happy with it.
- 640
- 00:36:24,098 --> 00:36:26,267
- It's cool. It's the right...
- 641
- 00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:29,270
- There were so many hours and hours
- and hours, and meetings and meetings
- 642
- 00:36:29,353 --> 00:36:32,231
- of notes for every frame of this thing.
- 643
- 00:36:32,315 --> 00:36:35,067
- And it's become one of
- the iconic images of the film,
- 644
- 00:36:35,151 --> 00:36:37,528
- so I think they did a nice job.
- 645
- 00:36:39,947 --> 00:36:41,991
- And so, from a story perspective,
- 646
- 00:36:42,116 --> 00:36:44,744
- you wanna show that somebody
- challenged him with a technology.
- 647
- 00:36:44,827 --> 00:36:47,622
- He won, but it's just the fact
- 648
- 00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:50,958
- that this dude showed up
- and it was so close
- 649
- 00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:55,504
- starts to make people freak out,
- and make him freak out, too.
- 650
- 00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:58,299
- And as soon as you lose
- that public support,
- 651
- 00:36:58,382 --> 00:37:01,469
- when you're that famous
- and they turn on you...
- 652
- 00:37:02,637 --> 00:37:05,848
- Well, you see it in the papers, man.
- You see it.
- 653
- 00:37:07,141 --> 00:37:12,063
- The nature of fame and celebrity
- is very different now
- 654
- 00:37:12,146 --> 00:37:14,482
- than it was 10 years ago.
- 655
- 00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:17,109
- And you see,
- you got everybody coming for them.
- 656
- 00:37:17,193 --> 00:37:20,363
- Later, you got
- Christiane Amanpour, O'Reilly,
- 657
- 00:37:20,488 --> 00:37:25,952
- and Shandling's being interviewed.
- It's just, like, relentless.
- 658
- 00:37:26,786 --> 00:37:32,041
- When you're at the wrong end of that,
- it takes quite a toll.
- 659
- 00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:37,713
- But, for right now,
- he doesn't know that that's all turned.
- 660
- 00:37:37,797 --> 00:37:41,676
- Right now he thinks, "Who is this guy?"
- He scanned the tech.
- 661
- 00:37:42,134 --> 00:37:45,972
- This is clearly something
- that's related to what he's built.
- 662
- 00:37:46,055 --> 00:37:47,282
- And if you remember from the first film,
- 663
- 00:37:47,306 --> 00:37:51,519
- it was that heart piece that
- Jeff Bridges was able to build...
- 664
- 00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:56,899
- Congratulations to Jeff, by the way,
- on the Oscar for Crazy Heart.
- 665
- 00:37:57,275 --> 00:37:59,527
- Great movie. He did a great job.
- 666
- 00:37:59,944 --> 00:38:04,240
- And very happy for him in that moment.
- 667
- 00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:16,168
- And if you remember in the first film,
- Jeff had to steal the heart
- 668
- 00:38:16,252 --> 00:38:20,339
- because he could build the whole
- Iron Monger suit, but the heart...
- 669
- 00:38:20,423 --> 00:38:22,925
- Here Matty Libatique does a great job.
- 670
- 00:38:23,009 --> 00:38:26,387
- This frame right here, with him there.
- 671
- 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:29,765
- And Mickey Rourke was like,
- "I wanna do the scene..."
- 672
- 00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:32,601
- 'Cause he wants to consult
- on wardrobe.
- 673
- 00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:35,271
- Very important, wardrobe, hair, teeth,
- all that stuff is him.
- 674
- 00:38:35,354 --> 00:38:38,566
- He works that way.
- He's very much into that.
- 675
- 00:38:38,649 --> 00:38:40,377
- So he'll do the hair himself,
- the teeth himself,
- 676
- 00:38:40,401 --> 00:38:41,819
- he got all that stuff made himself.
- 677
- 00:38:41,902 --> 00:38:45,031
- Even the glasses he was working
- on the suit with
- 678
- 00:38:45,114 --> 00:38:48,451
- in the beginning of the movie.
- He had all that made.
- 679
- 00:38:48,534 --> 00:38:51,829
- The Georgian Cross around his neck.
- Each tattoo he selected.
- 680
- 00:38:51,912 --> 00:38:54,665
- I showed him a book of the tattoos.
- He picked each one.
- 681
- 00:38:55,583 --> 00:38:59,712
- Wardrobe's very important.
- He says, "I wanna wear..."
- 682
- 00:38:59,795 --> 00:39:02,882
- "I wanna be wearing
- dirty white underwear."
- 683
- 00:39:05,092 --> 00:39:07,011
- And I was like,
- "All right. That could be cool."
- 684
- 00:39:07,094 --> 00:39:09,323
- And then Marvel was like,
- "What? What does he wanna wear?
- 685
- 00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:12,183
- "Is he kidding?"
- I'm like, "No, it could be cool."
- 686
- 00:39:12,266 --> 00:39:13,869
- He actually wanted
- to wear dirty white underwear
- 687
- 00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:16,270
- and be jumping rope with a chain,
- 688
- 00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,189
- and the chain hitting the ground
- 689
- 00:39:18,272 --> 00:39:22,526
- would send a shower of sparks
- every time he was skipping rope.
- 690
- 00:39:23,486 --> 00:39:25,446
- I thought that was a little too much.
- 691
- 00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:27,549
- But I did think
- that we could do something with him,
- 692
- 00:39:27,573 --> 00:39:29,301
- like he'd been stripped down
- to his underwear
- 693
- 00:39:29,325 --> 00:39:33,412
- because he was wearing that suit
- and everything burnt off and everything.
- 694
- 00:39:33,496 --> 00:39:37,500
- And he'd worked so much on his body,
- and then he had all the...
- 695
- 00:39:37,583 --> 00:39:39,728
- He'd worked out so much,
- and then he had all those tattoos,
- 696
- 00:39:39,752 --> 00:39:41,337
- I thought it would be really cool.
- 697
- 00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:44,924
- And here's Tony, all refined, coming in
- 698
- 00:39:45,674 --> 00:39:50,221
- wearing his leisure wear,
- 699
- 00:39:50,304 --> 00:39:53,140
- with his hair all coif ed and his goatee,
- 700
- 00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:56,227
- and then here's this dude, you know,
- polar opposite.
- 701
- 00:39:56,310 --> 00:40:00,231
- So you have these two shadows, sort of,
- facing each other.
- 702
- 00:40:02,441 --> 00:40:05,069
- And there we reveal that
- he knows that, that palladium,
- 703
- 00:40:05,152 --> 00:40:06,821
- he's the one guy who knows he's dying.
- 704
- 00:40:06,904 --> 00:40:11,075
- So, this guy's got...
- He's got the goods on Tony,
- 705
- 00:40:11,158 --> 00:40:14,662
- and Tony does not like
- somebody having a one-up on him.
- 706
- 00:40:15,955 --> 00:40:19,083
- You know, this was used
- in a lot of the trailers.
- 707
- 00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:23,587
- And the whole notion that
- if you make God bleed, everything goes.
- 708
- 00:40:24,171 --> 00:40:25,923
- It's very much...
- 709
- 00:40:26,841 --> 00:40:29,510
- It's like The Man Who Would Be King,
- you know.
- 710
- 00:40:31,095 --> 00:40:33,848
- I think even in 300 they had that, as well.
- 711
- 00:40:33,973 --> 00:40:39,854
- Once you just nick the flesh
- of that type of leader,
- 712
- 00:40:40,855 --> 00:40:43,941
- of the person who's held
- in such high esteem,
- 713
- 00:40:44,024 --> 00:40:45,609
- verging on idolatry,
- 714
- 00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:49,280
- and with the suit
- there is certainly a theme of that,
- 715
- 00:40:49,363 --> 00:40:52,950
- that once you show that,
- that person is vulnerable or human,
- 716
- 00:40:53,033 --> 00:40:55,536
- it freaks people out. They don't like that.
- 717
- 00:40:55,619 --> 00:41:00,666
- Not when the following is so nuts.
- 718
- 00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:03,794
- This is a scene that we actually shot...
- 719
- 00:41:03,878 --> 00:41:06,380
- If you look, you'll see
- the original scene that we shot.
- 720
- 00:41:06,505 --> 00:41:09,550
- It was much earlier, it was
- after the Senate, with Rhodey in it.
- 721
- 00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:10,777
- And it was gonna be a space plane.
- 722
- 00:41:10,801 --> 00:41:11,862
- This was designed to be a space plane.
- 723
- 00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:14,472
- You can even see in one of the cuts,
- you'll see her hair,
- 724
- 00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:15,866
- some tests for her hair going up.
- 725
- 00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:19,393
- It was gonna be zero G
- with a four-point belt.
- 726
- 00:41:19,477 --> 00:41:22,146
- But we used this set
- 'cause we needed the scene
- 727
- 00:41:22,229 --> 00:41:25,983
- to help with the story, the emotional
- story between he and Pepper.
- 728
- 00:41:26,066 --> 00:41:27,902
- What we found in both these movies
- 729
- 00:41:27,985 --> 00:41:31,780
- is Pepper just has become
- such an important aspect to this film,
- 730
- 00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:35,576
- and you have to keep them connected
- and have to clarify their relationship.
- 731
- 00:41:35,701 --> 00:41:38,370
- And he does so many things
- that are distasteful,
- 732
- 00:41:38,454 --> 00:41:41,665
- even to her at the party, and then later
- they're not getting along in the office.
- 733
- 00:41:41,749 --> 00:41:44,126
- It's nice to show this moment.
- 734
- 00:41:57,264 --> 00:41:59,743
- There's just, you know,
- groups of creative people in Hollywood,
- 735
- 00:41:59,767 --> 00:42:02,811
- it's very encouraging,
- that come together and help each other.
- 736
- 00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:04,980
- Shandling was also very helpful on this
- 737
- 00:42:05,105 --> 00:42:07,650
- in the editing room,
- and we do it for each other,
- 738
- 00:42:07,775 --> 00:42:10,069
- and you don't hear a lot about it.
- 739
- 00:42:10,152 --> 00:42:13,614
- You think of all these different
- creative types as being competitive,
- 740
- 00:42:13,739 --> 00:42:16,408
- but really there's a tremendous
- generosity, creatively.
- 741
- 00:42:16,492 --> 00:42:19,262
- People root for each other's projects,
- and they're there for each other.
- 742
- 00:42:19,286 --> 00:42:21,455
- I remember calling up J.J. Abrams
- from the trailer
- 743
- 00:42:21,580 --> 00:42:25,417
- in the last movie when we couldn't
- come up with a solution to a problem.
- 744
- 00:42:25,501 --> 00:42:26,811
- And, you know, he dropped everything.
- 745
- 00:42:26,835 --> 00:42:29,421
- He was on speaker phone
- with me and Robert.
- 746
- 00:42:29,505 --> 00:42:32,716
- And I do that for others. I get calls, too.
- 747
- 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,638
- And it's a very cool part of what I do
- and a part that I really appreciate.
- 748
- 00:43:05,332 --> 00:43:08,711
- So, this is me getting into a different
- type of filmmaking than I kind of have.
- 749
- 00:43:08,836 --> 00:43:13,090
- You know, sort of telling it just
- with images and pictures and plot.
- 750
- 00:43:15,676 --> 00:43:20,014
- We had to get him out of jail
- and make it look like he died.
- 751
- 00:43:21,098 --> 00:43:25,269
- This is actually a prison
- that's been shot a lot in downtown LA.
- 752
- 00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:29,773
- Actually Pasadena, I think.
- 753
- 00:43:30,858 --> 00:43:32,443
- But they did a nice job.
- 754
- 00:43:32,526 --> 00:43:37,573
- Riva did a nice job there
- with the French on the walls.
- 755
- 00:43:37,698 --> 00:43:39,325
- Good explosion from Dan Sudick,
- 756
- 00:43:39,408 --> 00:43:42,703
- and, of course,
- he has to brush off his shoulder.
- 757
- 00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:45,748
- Like Jay-Z.
- 758
- 00:43:47,249 --> 00:43:50,878
- And Mickey knows
- when you can't cut something out.
- 759
- 00:43:50,961 --> 00:43:53,547
- He knows. He's like...
- 760
- 00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,175
- He knows he just had a big oner
- with an explosion behind him,
- 761
- 00:43:56,258 --> 00:43:59,636
- so he brushed his little shoulder off.
- I've grown to like it.
- 762
- 00:43:59,637 --> 00:44:01,740
- So he brushed his little shoulder off.
- I've grown to like it.
- 763
- 00:44:01,764 --> 00:44:03,557
- At the time, it was like,
- "Why'd he do that?"
- 764
- 00:44:03,641 --> 00:44:06,393
- But you know what? I'm digging it now.
- 765
- 00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:08,020
- Here he is.
- 766
- 00:44:08,103 --> 00:44:10,481
- There's Justin Hammer
- 767
- 00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:14,026
- with the classical music
- and the two worlds.
- 768
- 00:44:14,109 --> 00:44:15,669
- You know, this movie's about contrasts.
- 769
- 00:44:15,694 --> 00:44:18,155
- I think humor comes out of contrast
- a lot of times,
- 770
- 00:44:18,238 --> 00:44:23,494
- status and contrast, and here
- these two are, and I love this scene.
- 771
- 00:44:26,455 --> 00:44:29,667
- And there he is. And if you look at...
- 772
- 00:44:31,377 --> 00:44:35,798
- What's his...
- Sam wanted to have a spray tan.
- 773
- 00:44:35,881 --> 00:44:37,651
- I mean, it's so not like him
- to have a spray...
- 774
- 00:44:37,675 --> 00:44:40,552
- He caked that on.
- He wanted it to be just orange.
- 775
- 00:44:40,636 --> 00:44:44,473
- And if you look at his hands,
- it's just all over his palms.
- 776
- 00:44:45,140 --> 00:44:46,684
- But it works.
- 777
- 00:44:47,309 --> 00:44:50,396
- And here we are, and he sits down.
- 778
- 00:44:53,607 --> 00:44:58,195
- And we see on his neck the Loki tattoo
- 779
- 00:44:58,278 --> 00:44:59,405
- that shouldn't be Loki.
- 780
- 00:44:59,488 --> 00:45:03,200
- He put Loki on his neck
- 781
- 00:45:04,326 --> 00:45:07,371
- because his dog had passed away,
- so it says Loki backwards.
- 782
- 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,433
- But, of course, Kevin Feige said,
- "You can't have Loki on his neck."
- 783
- 00:45:10,457 --> 00:45:12,543
- "That's the villain from Thor."
- 784
- 00:45:12,626 --> 00:45:18,632
- And so, we adjusted the tattoo digitally
- in many shots to disguise that,
- 785
- 00:45:18,716 --> 00:45:20,801
- as not to give an improper Easter egg.
- 786
- 00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:23,262
- I was like, "Why not, man? It's cool."
- 787
- 00:45:23,345 --> 00:45:27,224
- "No, it can't be that." So I said, "Okay.
- I don't know what's going on in Thor,
- 788
- 00:45:27,307 --> 00:45:28,493
- "but I don't wanna ruin
- your other movie."
- 789
- 00:45:28,517 --> 00:45:33,522
- So, it's slightly changed. I think
- they removed one little part of the "O."
- 790
- 00:45:33,939 --> 00:45:38,026
- But in some shots it wasn't done,
- and you'll see that there's some
- 791
- 00:45:38,652 --> 00:45:43,949
- sketchy blurring done on it
- that looks pretty good on the TV,
- 792
- 00:45:44,032 --> 00:45:46,452
- but in IMAX is...
- 793
- 00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:50,956
- It was an uncomfortable lesson to learn
- 794
- 00:45:52,666 --> 00:45:54,460
- that you can't push things for IMAX
- 795
- 00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:58,589
- the same way you can for
- a regular movie screen or video screen.
- 796
- 00:45:59,965 --> 00:46:02,801
- So here's a scene, two cameras again.
- We had a lot of fun here.
- 797
- 00:46:02,885 --> 00:46:06,597
- A much longer version, but it was
- good, good, good stuff.
- 798
- 00:46:10,476 --> 00:46:11,935
- Here he is. He's speaking Russian.
- 799
- 00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:14,146
- He wanted to speak Russian.
- He had a Russian coach.
- 800
- 00:46:14,229 --> 00:46:17,483
- We cut half of this line for timing,
- 801
- 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,573
- and Mickey was not happy about that.
- 802
- 00:46:24,656 --> 00:46:26,968
- He's like, "Look, I don't want
- to come off looking like a fool."
- 803
- 00:46:26,992 --> 00:46:31,413
- "I did a lot of work to make it sound
- like I knew what I was doing."
- 804
- 00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:33,540
- "Please put the other half in."
- 805
- 00:46:33,624 --> 00:46:37,377
- I think that was the last change
- in the movie. We restored half the line,
- 806
- 00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:40,297
- the other half of the line back to it.
- 807
- 00:46:41,799 --> 00:46:44,134
- The bird. We did little bird riffs here.
- 808
- 00:46:44,218 --> 00:46:48,222
- The bird actually became...
- None of this was in the original script,
- 809
- 00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:50,849
- and we sort of added it
- and threaded it in.
- 810
- 00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:53,333
- As with Jack. The guy, he says,
- "Hey, Jack. What's going on?"
- 811
- 00:46:53,393 --> 00:46:55,062
- He says, "We got salmon carpaccio."
- 812
- 00:46:55,145 --> 00:46:58,398
- That Jack thing,
- he was actually a food stylist
- 813
- 00:46:58,482 --> 00:47:01,568
- that did a great job
- as a background performer there
- 814
- 00:47:01,693 --> 00:47:03,546
- and we ended up incorporating him
- into the other scenes.
- 815
- 00:47:03,570 --> 00:47:06,657
- He did a good job.
- Jack White's his name.
- 816
- 00:47:06,740 --> 00:47:11,495
- And there's Christiane Amanpour,
- friends with Pepper Potts,
- 817
- 00:47:11,578 --> 00:47:15,415
- Gwyneth Paltrow. In real life
- she's friends with, actually, not Pepper,
- 818
- 00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:18,260
- but with Gwyneth, and she called her up.
- She says, "Will you do this?"
- 819
- 00:47:18,335 --> 00:47:23,173
- 'Cause I wanted it
- to be hitting the world.
- 820
- 00:47:23,257 --> 00:47:25,843
- And by having Christiane and O'Reilly,
- 821
- 00:47:25,926 --> 00:47:28,595
- I felt I was covering
- the whole spectrum there.
- 822
- 00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:31,431
- Hopefully it's fun.
- 823
- 00:47:32,266 --> 00:47:34,935
- Not too distracting up here.
- 824
- 00:47:35,018 --> 00:47:38,939
- By the way, great holographs and design
- 825
- 00:47:40,023 --> 00:47:42,359
- by Prologue,
- 826
- 00:47:42,442 --> 00:47:46,405
- Kyle Cooper and his gang.
- They did all that stuff, too.
- 827
- 00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,200
- And here's Rhodey coming in.
- 828
- 00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:52,953
- Here's where we start to build towards...
- 829
- 00:47:54,413 --> 00:47:56,623
- We gotta build towards
- why he takes the suit.
- 830
- 00:47:56,707 --> 00:47:59,793
- 'Cause if it doesn't look like Tony
- deserves to get the suit taken away,
- 831
- 00:47:59,918 --> 00:48:01,378
- you don't like Rhodey.
- 832
- 00:48:01,461 --> 00:48:06,258
- If you go too far, Tony's not likeable,
- and so it's a very fine line to walk.
- 833
- 00:48:08,302 --> 00:48:11,221
- So he's his friend,
- trying to protect him here,
- 834
- 00:48:11,305 --> 00:48:12,931
- and we find out that...
- 835
- 00:48:13,015 --> 00:48:16,643
- Actually, Rhodey finds out
- that he's not in a good way here.
- 836
- 00:48:17,477 --> 00:48:19,855
- His friend's not doing too good.
- 837
- 00:48:22,858 --> 00:48:26,737
- So what does a good friend do here?
- Do you leave him alone?
- 838
- 00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:31,533
- And then later, at the party, we see that
- it starts to even get further undone.
- 839
- 00:48:32,451 --> 00:48:33,970
- If you look back there,
- in addition to the cars,
- 840
- 00:48:33,994 --> 00:48:35,714
- there's actually
- an airplane that folds up.
- 841
- 00:48:35,787 --> 00:48:36,973
- That's a real airplane back there.
- 842
- 00:48:36,997 --> 00:48:38,975
- We said, "How do we outdo
- all those cars last time?"
- 843
- 00:48:38,999 --> 00:48:40,310
- I said, "Put a plane in there, too."
- 844
- 00:48:40,334 --> 00:48:43,462
- There's a plane that folded up,
- and we put it in.
- 845
- 00:48:48,842 --> 00:48:54,139
- So, this is originally just...
- This prop is digital.
- 846
- 00:48:54,222 --> 00:48:57,643
- The bottom of it is real.
- But it didn't look good.
- 847
- 00:48:57,726 --> 00:48:59,603
- It was something
- that was a late-breaking idea.
- 848
- 00:48:59,686 --> 00:49:01,313
- We did the best we could practically.
- 849
- 00:49:01,396 --> 00:49:05,359
- But it actually gave us a basis by which
- to build the digital thing on.
- 850
- 00:49:05,484 --> 00:49:09,446
- And it was designed
- by a company called Fuel,
- 851
- 00:49:09,529 --> 00:49:13,408
- a good house, good small house
- out of Australia, I think.
- 852
- 00:49:15,827 --> 00:49:18,413
- There, the thing didn't turn on,
- 853
- 00:49:18,538 --> 00:49:22,709
- and then finally Russell, our prop guy,
- got it to turn on. It's on radio control.
- 854
- 00:49:22,834 --> 00:49:24,920
- And it finally popped on,
- and Robert went with it.
- 855
- 00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,839
- We actually kept that performance,
- like it's really falling apart.
- 856
- 00:49:27,923 --> 00:49:30,676
- He's drinking the green juice
- some more.
- 857
- 00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:37,724
- So, again here, building the case
- towards him taking the suit.
- 858
- 00:49:38,433 --> 00:49:41,186
- This scene used to continue on.
- If you look in the deleted scenes,
- 859
- 00:49:41,269 --> 00:49:45,899
- you'll see that he actually went upstairs,
- grabbed the phone from Pepper,
- 860
- 00:49:45,982 --> 00:49:50,362
- and then talks to the helicopter that's
- been watching and circling the house,
- 861
- 00:49:50,445 --> 00:49:52,823
- making him seem even more undone.
- 862
- 00:49:53,907 --> 00:49:57,661
- And this is SpaceX right here.
- Not actually in Queens.
- 863
- 00:49:58,245 --> 00:50:00,455
- But we wanted to put it close to the Expo
- 864
- 00:50:00,580 --> 00:50:02,833
- to believe that we can get over there,
- back and forth
- 865
- 00:50:02,916 --> 00:50:05,252
- with the car and with the suits and stuff.
- 866
- 00:50:05,627 --> 00:50:06,795
- But this is SpaceX.
- 867
- 00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:11,007
- This is where Elon Musk
- actually builds rocket ships
- 868
- 00:50:11,091 --> 00:50:13,844
- and the Tesla car, for the time being.
- 869
- 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,767
- You can't see,
- but at the other end of the room,
- 870
- 00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:23,478
- there is a little commissary
- 871
- 00:50:23,603 --> 00:50:27,941
- where there now stands a life-sized
- Iron Man statue as a "thank you."
- 872
- 00:50:30,110 --> 00:50:34,114
- There he is. We show that
- he's pretty good with the computers.
- 873
- 00:50:39,411 --> 00:50:41,288
- There we go,
- and he's gonna go up to the thing.
- 874
- 00:50:41,371 --> 00:50:43,915
- There's only actually one real one.
- That front one is real.
- 875
- 00:50:43,999 --> 00:50:46,126
- The rest of those are digital.
- 876
- 00:50:46,251 --> 00:50:48,378
- All those people in the background
- are not extras
- 877
- 00:50:48,462 --> 00:50:51,399
- that we dressed or told to be there,
- but they still had to continue working.
- 878
- 00:50:51,423 --> 00:50:52,674
- We would shoot nights,
- 879
- 00:50:52,758 --> 00:50:56,428
- and there's always people working
- there, but we worked around it,
- 880
- 00:50:57,095 --> 00:51:00,182
- in the fine tradition
- of shooting in practical locations.
- 881
- 00:51:00,265 --> 00:51:01,475
- I think we get a lot from it.
- 882
- 00:51:01,558 --> 00:51:06,521
- It doesn't look like anything you could
- get from props or an existing set
- 883
- 00:51:06,605 --> 00:51:12,944
- or anything you could build on a set.
- That's bigger than a sound stage.
- 884
- 00:51:13,487 --> 00:51:18,575
- So, it gave us a little bit more scope
- and scale and authenticity.
- 885
- 00:51:19,743 --> 00:51:22,454
- So, it was very cool for us
- to shoot there.
- 886
- 00:51:22,537 --> 00:51:26,166
- And there's Jack,
- who we put into all these scenes.
- 887
- 00:51:30,754 --> 00:51:34,424
- And there's another additional scene
- that used to come here.
- 888
- 00:51:34,508 --> 00:51:37,153
- Another scene that used to come here
- that's also in the deleted scenes,
- 889
- 00:51:37,177 --> 00:51:39,012
- him showing him his little room.
- 890
- 00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:42,015
- And there's the party.
- 891
- 00:51:42,682 --> 00:51:46,937
- And this has been the most challenging
- part of the film, editorially.
- 892
- 00:51:47,020 --> 00:51:48,188
- Also in the deleted scenes,
- 893
- 00:51:48,313 --> 00:51:51,358
- you can see that there was
- him and her cozying up a bit.
- 894
- 00:51:51,441 --> 00:51:54,611
- We had this scene right here
- where he's flirting more with her.
- 895
- 00:51:54,694 --> 00:51:56,112
- It felt weird.
- 896
- 00:51:56,196 --> 00:51:57,507
- It always felt like a bummer to Pepper,
- 897
- 00:51:57,531 --> 00:51:59,783
- 'cause you really want
- him and Pepper to be together.
- 898
- 00:51:59,866 --> 00:52:04,538
- But you also show that
- she's up in his face and flirting with him.
- 899
- 00:52:09,042 --> 00:52:12,212
- There's all these bad decisions
- to be made around him.
- 900
- 00:52:14,047 --> 00:52:17,717
- It's all there for Tony,
- 901
- 00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:21,221
- and he's got to decide
- what he's all about.
- 902
- 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,368
- And this is his last night.
- What's he gonna do?
- 903
- 00:52:25,392 --> 00:52:27,811
- What do you do?
- What's his legacy gonna be?
- 904
- 00:52:28,019 --> 00:52:30,647
- Is he going to leave
- something good behind
- 905
- 00:52:30,730 --> 00:52:35,151
- or is he going to just indulge himself
- and regress?
- 906
- 00:52:35,694 --> 00:52:41,241
- And we see that tonight,
- what he decides to do is have a party,
- 907
- 00:52:41,908 --> 00:52:43,159
- put on the suit...
- 908
- 00:52:43,243 --> 00:52:45,412
- You're not supposed to put the suit on
- and mess around.
- 909
- 00:52:45,537 --> 00:52:49,332
- And everybody loves it at the party,
- and it's feverish.
- 910
- 00:52:49,416 --> 00:52:52,168
- They're all gonna be
- cheering and celebrating
- 911
- 00:52:52,252 --> 00:52:54,588
- and encouraging bad behaviour.
- 912
- 00:52:54,713 --> 00:52:59,175
- And I guess in Tony Stark's life,
- there is always people around
- 913
- 00:52:59,259 --> 00:53:01,595
- that are gonna encourage that.
- 914
- 00:53:02,387 --> 00:53:04,323
- And, of course,
- Pepper doesn't like that or Rhodey.
- 915
- 00:53:04,347 --> 00:53:06,474
- Those are his real friends.
- 916
- 00:53:06,558 --> 00:53:10,478
- So, what are you gonna do?
- He drinks the martini.
- 917
- 00:53:10,562 --> 00:53:13,148
- This is as close as we get
- to Demon in a Bottle,
- 918
- 00:53:13,231 --> 00:53:14,649
- this little sequence here.
- 919
- 00:53:19,821 --> 00:53:22,365
- That's actually me
- scratching on the soundtrack
- 920
- 00:53:22,449 --> 00:53:24,951
- at that particular moment.
- 921
- 00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:26,953
- And she walks in, she's disappointed.
- 922
- 00:53:27,037 --> 00:53:28,121
- There he is, dancing.
- 923
- 00:53:28,204 --> 00:53:29,849
- We wanted it to be funny,
- but also a little bit weird.
- 924
- 00:53:29,873 --> 00:53:31,917
- There's DJ AM back there.
- 925
- 00:53:34,377 --> 00:53:38,006
- Nice, nice guy
- and, unfortunately, passed away.
- 926
- 00:53:39,090 --> 00:53:42,510
- I think there's a featurette
- on the DVD about him.
- 927
- 00:53:42,594 --> 00:53:44,596
- He was just a great, great, great dude,
- 928
- 00:53:44,679 --> 00:53:47,474
- and we got to spend
- a week with him there.
- 929
- 00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:50,435
- Robert actually dug him a lot, too.
- 930
- 00:53:50,518 --> 00:53:54,105
- Very, very, very sad when we found out
- that he passed away.
- 931
- 00:53:54,189 --> 00:53:59,402
- But very happy that we have him here,
- and we do a whole little mash-up
- 932
- 00:54:00,779 --> 00:54:03,490
- that his friend DJ Kevin Scott
- helped us put together.
- 933
- 00:54:03,573 --> 00:54:05,700
- He actually fell by accident, there.
- 934
- 00:54:06,618 --> 00:54:10,038
- But of course, it worked great
- with the smashing sounds.
- 935
- 00:54:10,121 --> 00:54:12,624
- In trying to motivate him
- to go downstairs...
- 936
- 00:54:12,707 --> 00:54:15,752
- This was another scene
- that had Olivia Munn in it.
- 937
- 00:54:15,835 --> 00:54:18,338
- You'll see that he has her up in the air.
- 938
- 00:54:18,421 --> 00:54:20,090
- Part of it was just to get through it
- 939
- 00:54:20,173 --> 00:54:23,259
- and not make him too distasteful
- at this part of the movie.
- 940
- 00:54:23,343 --> 00:54:27,180
- 'Cause when he was too abusive,
- it was a little rough to recover from.
- 941
- 00:54:28,890 --> 00:54:33,687
- There's that joke, Justin Theroux,
- a wonderful little piece of writing.
- 942
- 00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:37,816
- And I love this moment
- between the two of them,
- 943
- 00:54:37,899 --> 00:54:40,026
- 'cause it was like...
- 944
- 00:54:40,110 --> 00:54:42,988
- They both really knew
- how to play the real of this moment.
- 945
- 00:54:46,032 --> 00:54:47,993
- And then I threw in,
- he just peed in the suit.
- 946
- 00:54:48,076 --> 00:54:51,579
- That was something that occurred to me
- in the moment there,
- 947
- 00:54:51,663 --> 00:54:54,332
- based on the line that he just said.
- 948
- 00:54:54,958 --> 00:54:59,796
- I love her here.
- "It's not sexy. It's not sexy, trust me.
- 949
- 00:55:00,922 --> 00:55:05,385
- "You're not gonna be happy about this."
- He just peed in the suit.
- 950
- 00:55:05,468 --> 00:55:08,638
- "It's got filtration...
- You could drink that water."
- 951
- 00:55:09,305 --> 00:55:12,308
- I came up with that one, too,
- in the moment.
- 952
- 00:55:12,517 --> 00:55:14,286
- Take this, too,
- it looks like he's gonna go with it,
- 953
- 00:55:14,310 --> 00:55:16,604
- and he does not go with it.
- 954
- 00:55:22,193 --> 00:55:25,030
- Well, that's it! He's too far gone now.
- 955
- 00:55:25,905 --> 00:55:28,575
- There's no stopping him now. She tried.
- 956
- 00:55:29,451 --> 00:55:32,162
- Rhodey sees she tried.
- Something else's gonna have to happen.
- 957
- 00:55:32,245 --> 00:55:35,498
- Now, there is a sculpture here,
- watch this. It's a Giacometti, it's called.
- 958
- 00:55:35,582 --> 00:55:37,792
- That walking guy.
- 959
- 00:55:37,876 --> 00:55:40,336
- It was such a bummer
- 'cause we got the rights to use that,
- 960
- 00:55:40,420 --> 00:55:42,881
- it's a very famous sculpture,
- we got the rights to use it,
- 961
- 00:55:42,964 --> 00:55:47,427
- but then we found out later
- that we couldn't destroy it,
- 962
- 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:48,830
- and he has to blow that glass up.
- 963
- 00:55:48,887 --> 00:55:51,473
- So hopefully it's not too distracting,
- it's still there.
- 964
- 00:55:53,058 --> 00:55:54,184
- Not hit at all.
- 965
- 00:55:54,267 --> 00:55:58,188
- And interestingly, that sculpture
- was bought after we shot...
- 966
- 00:55:58,271 --> 00:56:01,357
- Not that one, that's a replica,
- but the real one was bought
- 967
- 00:56:01,441 --> 00:56:07,363
- for $150 million
- by an anonymous bidder at an auction.
- 968
- 00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,700
- So, maybe it was Tony Stark.
- 969
- 00:56:13,787 --> 00:56:17,040
- Here we go.
- He's gonna do the Gallagher.
- 970
- 00:56:17,123 --> 00:56:19,351
- "She wants the Gallagher."
- He's blowing stuff, playing...
- 971
- 00:56:19,375 --> 00:56:21,145
- Well, that's like,
- what's the least responsible thing
- 972
- 00:56:21,169 --> 00:56:24,672
- you could be doing with the suit?
- Using it as a party favour, essentially.
- 973
- 00:56:24,756 --> 00:56:28,718
- And then finally we understand
- why Rhodey, hopefully, comes up.
- 974
- 00:56:34,349 --> 00:56:38,103
- Now, this is actually...
- A lot of it's been added digitally,
- 975
- 00:56:38,186 --> 00:56:41,272
- but that silver suit was one of the suits
- from the first movie.
- 976
- 00:56:41,356 --> 00:56:44,651
- It's a very heavy suit.
- We've since redesigned it.
- 977
- 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,714
- He's wearing a lighter version
- of the suit.
- 978
- 00:56:48,738 --> 00:56:50,418
- Part of it is real, part of it is digital.
- 979
- 00:56:50,490 --> 00:56:54,786
- This is a bit that we added with Adam.
- It wasn't in the script, so it was fun,
- 980
- 00:56:54,869 --> 00:56:57,413
- and we kept it in,
- and it's nice to have that.
- 981
- 00:56:59,916 --> 00:57:06,005
- And this is a little mix that is
- inspired by stuff that he would do.
- 982
- 00:57:07,257 --> 00:57:09,884
- Not easy to get the rights
- to do a mash-up of different songs,
- 983
- 00:57:10,009 --> 00:57:13,012
- but thanks to Dave Jordan, we did it.
- 984
- 00:57:13,096 --> 00:57:16,766
- There we go.
- I love that, them throwing weights.
- 985
- 00:57:16,850 --> 00:57:21,563
- The storyboard artists had a lot of fun
- with this little area,
- 986
- 00:57:21,688 --> 00:57:25,358
- coming up with all the different things
- that could happen in a gym.
- 987
- 00:57:32,031 --> 00:57:35,952
- All this dialogue has been
- changed and changed so many times.
- 988
- 00:57:37,745 --> 00:57:39,956
- 'Cause you can. 'Cause they're in suits.
- 989
- 00:57:40,039 --> 00:57:41,600
- Boom! You'll see that this, actually,
- up here...
- 990
- 00:57:41,624 --> 00:57:44,544
- Olivia Munn,
- this is where she was, up here.
- 991
- 00:57:45,086 --> 00:57:47,881
- You'll see that in the deleted scenes.
- 992
- 00:57:49,549 --> 00:57:55,930
- But part of the reason was to keep
- it feeling a little more dangerous here.
- 993
- 00:57:56,055 --> 00:57:59,893
- And too many jokes,
- it wasn't feeling good.
- 994
- 00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:01,967
- And now we get into Robot Rock,
- 995
- 00:58:02,061 --> 00:58:06,232
- which was Adam Goldstein,
- DJ AM's favourite group
- 996
- 00:58:07,734 --> 00:58:11,905
- from what I'm told by his buddies.
- 997
- 00:58:12,947 --> 00:58:15,658
- And Robot Rock kind of
- works with this, too, right here.
- 998
- 00:58:15,742 --> 00:58:17,243
- I just wanted that image of them
- 999
- 00:58:17,368 --> 00:58:20,163
- just loading up and
- hitting as hard as they could,
- 1000
- 00:58:20,246 --> 00:58:22,165
- and not really doing
- anything to each other.
- 1001
- 00:58:22,248 --> 00:58:27,003
- It's like, those suits...
- It could go on forever.
- 1002
- 00:58:27,086 --> 00:58:29,088
- And then it gets darker.
- 1003
- 00:58:30,089 --> 00:58:34,344
- And all the people with their damned
- camera phones and staring at them.
- 1004
- 00:58:34,427 --> 00:58:36,346
- And all the people
- that were encouraging him
- 1005
- 00:58:36,429 --> 00:58:38,723
- to be acting the way he was.
- 1006
- 00:58:44,312 --> 00:58:45,563
- And now,
- 1007
- 00:58:47,273 --> 00:58:49,984
- it has to go one step too far.
- 1008
- 00:58:51,402 --> 00:58:53,488
- And then this moment,
- ILM did a really nice job
- 1009
- 00:58:53,947 --> 00:58:55,549
- on what happens when
- the two RTs hit each other.
- 1010
- 00:58:55,573 --> 00:58:57,492
- We wanted it to be something cool.
- 1011
- 00:58:57,617 --> 00:58:58,897
- We sneak in "War Machine" there.
- 1012
- 00:58:58,952 --> 00:59:00,787
- He says,
- "You wanna be a War Machine?"
- 1013
- 00:59:00,912 --> 00:59:03,414
- We like to say the names
- of the characters
- 1014
- 00:59:03,498 --> 00:59:04,892
- without actually really saying them,
- 1015
- 00:59:04,916 --> 00:59:07,877
- as though it's their real name,
- but have it in there.
- 1016
- 00:59:07,961 --> 00:59:10,041
- Like we say, "We're Iron Mongers,"
- in the first film,
- 1017
- 00:59:10,922 --> 00:59:14,092
- and here he says,
- "You wanna be a War Machine?"
- 1018
- 00:59:16,636 --> 00:59:19,389
- And so we see when those two things
- hit each other, that happens.
- 1019
- 00:59:19,472 --> 00:59:21,933
- And we wanted the ending to be
- some sort of call-back
- 1020
- 00:59:22,016 --> 00:59:23,452
- to something we established earlier.
- 1021
- 00:59:23,476 --> 00:59:27,897
- And I like that they work together
- to have to defeat the guy,
- 1022
- 00:59:27,981 --> 00:59:31,859
- and it's about him learning
- not to be alone.
- 1023
- 00:59:33,778 --> 00:59:35,947
- Part of Tony's problem is
- he isolates himself,
- 1024
- 00:59:36,030 --> 00:59:38,157
- he doesn't let Pepper get close to him,
- 1025
- 00:59:38,283 --> 00:59:41,494
- he doesn't have friends other than
- the people he works with, really.
- 1026
- 00:59:42,412 --> 00:59:46,124
- His best friends are his computer
- and his robots.
- 1027
- 00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:51,254
- So, it really is about him learning
- 1028
- 00:59:51,337 --> 00:59:53,923
- to open up to these other people
- and trust people,
- 1029
- 00:59:54,007 --> 01:00:00,179
- and leading to the Avengers,
- where he's part of a group.
- 1030
- 01:00:01,973 --> 01:00:06,519
- There's the suit taking off into the night.
- I like that little ending there.
- 1031
- 01:00:06,644 --> 01:00:09,272
- Those are practical suits,
- those aren't digital right there,
- 1032
- 01:00:09,355 --> 01:00:10,522
- the ones on the ground.
- 1033
- 01:00:10,523 --> 01:00:11,523
- The ones on the ground.
- 1034
- 01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,506
- And here we are back at Edwards.
- We were there last movie.
- 1035
- 01:00:17,530 --> 01:00:21,367
- It's a great place, great guys.
- They let us go up in the tower.
- 1036
- 01:00:23,619 --> 01:00:25,299
- And there's Tim Guinee,
- from the last film.
- 1037
- 01:00:25,330 --> 01:00:29,208
- He was in the CAOC, if you remember,
- with Rhodey.
- 1038
- 01:00:29,459 --> 01:00:32,045
- And these are all real guys here.
- 1039
- 01:00:32,128 --> 01:00:35,465
- I love that buzzing the tower moment
- with the subwoofers.
- 1040
- 01:00:35,548 --> 01:00:42,305
- And they let us use a B-2 and a F-22,
- 1041
- 01:00:42,388 --> 01:00:44,807
- and there's a C-17.
- 1042
- 01:00:44,891 --> 01:00:47,310
- And they just rolled
- all the assets out for us.
- 1043
- 01:00:47,393 --> 01:00:50,646
- They let us shoot
- wherever we wanted there.
- 1044
- 01:00:50,730 --> 01:00:53,816
- And you could only shoot that B-2
- from certain angles.
- 1045
- 01:00:53,900 --> 01:00:56,736
- They wouldn't even let us take pictures,
- last time, of that.
- 1046
- 01:00:56,819 --> 01:00:57,904
- They must've liked Iron Man
- 1047
- 01:00:57,987 --> 01:01:02,158
- 'cause they really rolled out
- the red carpet for us.
- 1048
- 01:01:02,992 --> 01:01:04,410
- And I had challenge coins made up,
- 1049
- 01:01:04,494 --> 01:01:05,888
- for those of you
- who know what those are,
- 1050
- 01:01:05,912 --> 01:01:10,124
- because I would get them
- from the military units and officers.
- 1051
- 01:01:10,208 --> 01:01:11,560
- It was nice to have
- something to give back.
- 1052
- 01:01:11,584 --> 01:01:15,254
- So, there are Iron Man 2
- director coins out there.
- 1053
- 01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:16,923
- And you see,
- we don't have the B-2 there
- 1054
- 01:01:17,006 --> 01:01:20,593
- or actually War Machine, in that shot.
- 1055
- 01:01:20,676 --> 01:01:23,513
- B-2 'cause we weren't allowed
- to show it from that angle.
- 1056
- 01:01:23,596 --> 01:01:27,350
- Our excuse is it's stealth, so that's
- why you can't see it in that shot.
- 1057
- 01:01:27,433 --> 01:01:30,103
- And then War Machine,
- because I just didn't want to pay for it.
- 1058
- 01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:33,731
- I didn't think you'd notice.
- Didn't want to add another shot.
- 1059
- 01:01:33,815 --> 01:01:36,234
- And here was another image
- that we had.
- 1060
- 01:01:36,317 --> 01:01:40,947
- I wanted him in the donut hole of
- Randy's Donuts the day after a bender.
- 1061
- 01:01:42,949 --> 01:01:44,409
- Just eating.
- 1062
- 01:01:46,244 --> 01:01:50,998
- And I love this moment here.
- This is like the AA sponsor,
- 1063
- 01:01:53,251 --> 01:01:58,506
- the grizzled veteran who's like,
- "Is this working out for you?"
- 1064
- 01:01:58,589 --> 01:02:01,050
- "Do you like your life?
- Is this how you want to live?"
- 1065
- 01:02:01,134 --> 01:02:05,596
- You get the phone call,
- you call your sponsor at the low point,
- 1066
- 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,684
- and the sponsor says, "Are you happy?"
- He picks you up out of the gutter.
- 1067
- 01:02:09,767 --> 01:02:10,967
- He picks you up from the place
- 1068
- 01:02:11,018 --> 01:02:13,020
- you don't even know
- how you woke up there.
- 1069
- 01:02:13,104 --> 01:02:16,566
- And he says to you,
- "All right, are we ready to change?"
- 1070
- 01:02:16,649 --> 01:02:19,193
- "Are you ready
- to change something about this"
- 1071
- 01:02:19,277 --> 01:02:20,736
- "or is this working out for you?"
- 1072
- 01:02:20,820 --> 01:02:23,614
- And then you gotta say...
- You gotta give it up.
- 1073
- 01:02:23,698 --> 01:02:26,826
- You gotta just say,
- "I am ready to give up my old life"
- 1074
- 01:02:26,909 --> 01:02:30,204
- "and I am ready to find out
- who I really am and work at it."
- 1075
- 01:02:30,288 --> 01:02:31,914
- And that's why I like that moment.
- 1076
- 01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:34,459
- I like those glasses he was wearing, too,
- if you saw.
- 1077
- 01:02:34,542 --> 01:02:37,462
- They were black-and-red-checked
- Ray-Bans.
- 1078
- 01:02:37,545 --> 01:02:39,630
- He just happened to be
- wearing them that day.
- 1079
- 01:02:39,714 --> 01:02:41,400
- And I was like,
- "You got to wear it with the suit."
- 1080
- 01:02:41,424 --> 01:02:43,986
- He was like, "Really?" I was like, "Yeah."
- Robert's always up for that.
- 1081
- 01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:47,305
- He's like, "Yeah!" And I really like it.
- I think it works really well.
- 1082
- 01:02:47,388 --> 01:02:50,516
- It has that '80s look to it.
- I don't know, it's fun to watch him.
- 1083
- 01:02:50,600 --> 01:02:52,768
- It reminds me of Less Than Zero
- or something.
- 1084
- 01:02:52,852 --> 01:02:54,312
- But it worked somehow.
- 1085
- 01:02:54,395 --> 01:02:56,230
- And there, of course, is Scarlett in her...
- 1086
- 01:02:56,314 --> 01:02:59,984
- There's no interior to Randy's.
- Don't drive yourself crazy looking for it.
- 1087
- 01:03:00,067 --> 01:03:01,507
- It's not there. There's no interior.
- 1088
- 01:03:01,569 --> 01:03:04,197
- This was actually shot someplace else
- in the neighbourhood.
- 1089
- 01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,699
- But we put up the Randy signage.
- 1090
- 01:03:08,242 --> 01:03:10,411
- They were gonna be
- in S. H. I. E. I. D. headquarters,
- 1091
- 01:03:10,495 --> 01:03:15,458
- and I was like, "No, no, no. We got to
- put them in Randy's Donuts, man."
- 1092
- 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:21,005
- 'Cause the first discussions were, like,
- it's a stainless steel S. H. I. E. I. D...
- 1093
- 01:03:21,088 --> 01:03:23,466
- We were even gonna move them
- to the East Coast.
- 1094
- 01:03:23,549 --> 01:03:26,153
- I was like, "No, no, no, get them
- in the costumes in this environment."
- 1095
- 01:03:26,177 --> 01:03:28,095
- "That's our movie, man."
- 1096
- 01:03:29,472 --> 01:03:33,309
- And this was the first time she was
- in the Black Widow costume on set.
- 1097
- 01:03:37,271 --> 01:03:41,025
- That was when I had tweeted.
- I said, "She looks..."
- 1098
- 01:03:41,442 --> 01:03:43,861
- "You never heard a crew
- get so quiet so fast."
- 1099
- 01:03:43,945 --> 01:03:48,115
- And that turned into
- a whole thing of like...
- 1100
- 01:03:48,741 --> 01:03:51,536
- I thought I was just writing it
- and nobody...
- 1101
- 01:03:51,619 --> 01:03:54,019
- But people who follow me read it,
- and it turned into, like...
- 1102
- 01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,249
- Marvel was like,
- "Watch what you tweet."
- 1103
- 01:03:58,501 --> 01:04:00,021
- Like that was a sensitive thing to say
- 1104
- 01:04:00,086 --> 01:04:02,672
- she was in the costume.
- I don't understand.
- 1105
- 01:04:02,755 --> 01:04:05,508
- The point I am making
- is that everything...
- 1106
- 01:04:05,591 --> 01:04:07,343
- During the shooting of this film,
- 1107
- 01:04:07,426 --> 01:04:10,596
- it was clear that the information age
- had changed dramatically.
- 1108
- 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:14,850
- And if you post a picture
- of yourself hanging out
- 1109
- 01:04:15,851 --> 01:04:17,079
- that has nothing to do with the movie,
- 1110
- 01:04:17,103 --> 01:04:18,664
- hanging out near the set, or talk about it,
- 1111
- 01:04:18,688 --> 01:04:21,607
- those things get picked up
- and move around very quickly.
- 1112
- 01:04:21,857 --> 01:04:26,862
- And so the way filmmakers
- interact with the public
- 1113
- 01:04:26,946 --> 01:04:32,785
- is changing rapidly,
- and it's interesting to see how it evolves.
- 1114
- 01:04:33,286 --> 01:04:35,366
- And that was the one moment
- I remember learning that.
- 1115
- 01:04:35,454 --> 01:04:38,416
- I said that she looked great
- in the costume.
- 1116
- 01:04:38,499 --> 01:04:41,836
- And by the way, aside from that,
- she did look great in the costume.
- 1117
- 01:04:41,961 --> 01:04:44,297
- The crew did get really quiet.
- 1118
- 01:04:44,380 --> 01:04:48,801
- Because she had been working so hard
- on her martial arts stuff and her stunts,
- 1119
- 01:04:51,679 --> 01:04:53,806
- and between that
- and the red hair and all that,
- 1120
- 01:04:53,889 --> 01:04:55,933
- and the way they did her makeup up,
- 1121
- 01:04:56,017 --> 01:04:57,810
- it was very different.
- 1122
- 01:04:57,893 --> 01:05:00,187
- I would have never pictured Scarlett
- looking like this.
- 1123
- 01:05:00,313 --> 01:05:03,733
- And it's just great. It really works well
- and fits in with the comic books,
- 1124
- 01:05:03,816 --> 01:05:07,695
- and I hope the fanboys
- really embrace her in it,
- 1125
- 01:05:07,820 --> 01:05:10,990
- because she's a great,
- great, dedicated performer
- 1126
- 01:05:11,073 --> 01:05:15,119
- who really loves the idea and
- fought very hard to be in this franchise.
- 1127
- 01:05:15,202 --> 01:05:18,748
- So, I hope a lot comes of it for her.
- 1128
- 01:05:19,332 --> 01:05:22,418
- I hope she gets to do
- her own Black Widow movie.
- 1129
- 01:05:24,045 --> 01:05:28,215
- So, there it is, showing that
- we're changing from a suit to a drone.
- 1130
- 01:05:28,341 --> 01:05:30,301
- And part of the reason we did that was,
- 1131
- 01:05:30,384 --> 01:05:33,429
- A, it's kind of in the news,
- and that's what's happening.
- 1132
- 01:05:33,512 --> 01:05:36,724
- It's actually even happened more
- since we shot this.
- 1133
- 01:05:36,849 --> 01:05:41,729
- That's the nature of warfare now.
- No casualties.
- 1134
- 01:05:41,854 --> 01:05:45,566
- It's good for PR,
- no human life on the line.
- 1135
- 01:05:45,691 --> 01:05:47,693
- At least for your side.
- 1136
- 01:05:48,027 --> 01:05:54,825
- So it's very corporate, safe,
- futuristic warfare, antiseptic warfare.
- 1137
- 01:05:55,534 --> 01:05:59,747
- But also because
- I wanted to be able to destroy
- 1138
- 01:06:00,498 --> 01:06:03,209
- and really have a lot of fun
- with the destruction
- 1139
- 01:06:03,334 --> 01:06:05,961
- that the suits could do
- with multiple enemies.
- 1140
- 01:06:06,045 --> 01:06:08,381
- If you just have a body count like that
- with people,
- 1141
- 01:06:08,506 --> 01:06:10,883
- you just can't do it
- in a movie like this, PG-13.
- 1142
- 01:06:11,008 --> 01:06:14,762
- You don't want kids seeing that.
- And so the idea
- 1143
- 01:06:16,222 --> 01:06:20,559
- of multiple robotic bad guys
- 1144
- 01:06:20,685 --> 01:06:23,312
- that you could completely disembowel
- and cut the heads off
- 1145
- 01:06:23,396 --> 01:06:26,065
- and have oil squirting out
- was something I really liked.
- 1146
- 01:06:26,190 --> 01:06:29,110
- I know that Genndy Tartakovsky did it
- in Samurai Jack a lot.
- 1147
- 01:06:29,235 --> 01:06:31,779
- That was the trick he would use
- on Cartoon Network.
- 1148
- 01:06:31,904 --> 01:06:35,324
- He'd use the samurai warrior cutting
- heads and limbs off of these things,
- 1149
- 01:06:35,408 --> 01:06:37,243
- but they were all robots.
- 1150
- 01:06:37,368 --> 01:06:39,221
- And so that was something
- that I thought was really cool.
- 1151
- 01:06:39,245 --> 01:06:40,746
- And I actually contacted Genndy.
- 1152
- 01:06:40,871 --> 01:06:45,710
- I liked what he did with Clone Wars,
- and I liked Samurai Jack,
- 1153
- 01:06:45,793 --> 01:06:47,545
- and I reached out to him,
- 1154
- 01:06:47,628 --> 01:06:50,715
- and we had been talking and meeting,
- and I finally asked him,
- 1155
- 01:06:50,798 --> 01:06:53,259
- "Hey, you wanna come on board
- and help me with this stuff?"
- 1156
- 01:06:53,384 --> 01:06:56,887
- "You have a great handle on action.
- It's not what I'm from."
- 1157
- 01:06:58,806 --> 01:07:01,516
- And he did. He helped out,
- him and Bryan, his partner,
- 1158
- 01:07:01,517 --> 01:07:03,686
- And he did. He helped out,
- him and Bryan, his partner,
- 1159
- 01:07:03,769 --> 01:07:05,855
- did storyboards and animatics
- 1160
- 01:07:05,938 --> 01:07:08,941
- and even came for some of the shooting
- with the second unit
- 1161
- 01:07:09,024 --> 01:07:11,277
- of the plates
- in the Japanese garden later,
- 1162
- 01:07:11,402 --> 01:07:12,945
- in the Oracle Pavilion.
- 1163
- 01:07:14,405 --> 01:07:17,283
- So, it was great.
- I thank them so much for helping,
- 1164
- 01:07:17,366 --> 01:07:22,037
- and I learned so much from them,
- and they brought a lot of great tone
- 1165
- 01:07:22,121 --> 01:07:24,790
- and a nice tongue-in-cheek quality
- to the violence
- 1166
- 01:07:24,915 --> 01:07:28,461
- and a nice imagination
- to all of that action stuff.
- 1167
- 01:07:29,128 --> 01:07:32,631
- It fit in well.
- We were able to balance it all out well.
- 1168
- 01:07:32,715 --> 01:07:38,220
- So, here's our scene
- between Nick Fury and Tony Stark
- 1169
- 01:07:38,304 --> 01:07:40,473
- where he learns about his dad.
- 1170
- 01:07:40,598 --> 01:07:44,894
- And he learns that if he finishes
- what his father was exploring,
- 1171
- 01:07:44,977 --> 01:07:48,397
- when he invented the arc reactor
- with Anton Vanko,
- 1172
- 01:07:48,564 --> 01:07:55,488
- that maybe
- that final technical breakthrough
- 1173
- 01:07:57,114 --> 01:08:02,077
- would help him solve the problem
- that he's facing, coincidentally,
- 1174
- 01:08:02,161 --> 01:08:04,079
- because he has that thing in his chest.
- 1175
- 01:08:04,163 --> 01:08:07,166
- How to replace palladium
- with the element that would make it
- 1176
- 01:08:07,249 --> 01:08:10,085
- the perfect version of the arc reactor.
- 1177
- 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,423
- But he's also enticing him
- to become part of S. H. I. E. I. D.
- 1178
- 01:08:14,673 --> 01:08:16,675
- And to join the group.
- 1179
- 01:08:17,510 --> 01:08:19,929
- So, Sam Jackson has
- tremendous screen presence
- 1180
- 01:08:20,012 --> 01:08:23,432
- and is able to carry off
- a lot of exposition here.
- 1181
- 01:08:24,433 --> 01:08:25,518
- And then we even related it
- 1182
- 01:08:25,643 --> 01:08:28,020
- to the emotion of
- his relationship to his dad
- 1183
- 01:08:28,103 --> 01:08:31,565
- that was set up in the press conference
- of the first film.
- 1184
- 01:08:31,649 --> 01:08:34,652
- This movie is about
- the sins of the fathers in a lot of ways,
- 1185
- 01:08:34,735 --> 01:08:41,742
- with Anton extending this vendetta
- against the Stark family
- 1186
- 01:08:41,826 --> 01:08:43,744
- and feeling betrayed
- 1187
- 01:08:45,079 --> 01:08:48,207
- because he was turned in
- for spying by the dad,
- 1188
- 01:08:48,290 --> 01:08:51,877
- and Tony inheriting
- all the good and bad of his dad.
- 1189
- 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,799
- You see the dad drinking in the video...
- I mean, in the old movies
- 1190
- 01:08:56,882 --> 01:08:58,217
- in the next scene.
- 1191
- 01:09:01,345 --> 01:09:03,848
- But also the legacy
- and all the innovations
- 1192
- 01:09:03,931 --> 01:09:07,059
- that helped change the world
- in a great way.
- 1193
- 01:09:07,142 --> 01:09:08,519
- So, the choice is his.
- 1194
- 01:09:08,602 --> 01:09:13,816
- And so we found a way to incorporate,
- to create a character arc for this guy,
- 1195
- 01:09:13,899 --> 01:09:16,461
- because it's so easy in the first film,
- with the origin, to have an arc,
- 1196
- 01:09:16,485 --> 01:09:17,736
- the rise of the hero.
- 1197
- 01:09:17,820 --> 01:09:21,657
- But how do you not just make it
- a serialized version
- 1198
- 01:09:21,740 --> 01:09:23,117
- of the adventures of a hero?
- 1199
- 01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:25,327
- How do you
- actually make the character grow?
- 1200
- 01:09:25,411 --> 01:09:27,955
- And so the relationship with the dad
- 1201
- 01:09:29,498 --> 01:09:32,793
- seemed to be the fulcrum of that for us.
- 1202
- 01:09:33,419 --> 01:09:35,188
- And so, now this is the first scene
- with Coulson,
- 1203
- 01:09:35,212 --> 01:09:36,772
- when, if you've seen
- the deleted scenes,
- 1204
- 01:09:36,839 --> 01:09:40,301
- he was actually introduced
- in the courtroom earlier.
- 1205
- 01:09:41,385 --> 01:09:44,263
- But here we go in the movie proper,
- 1206
- 01:09:44,346 --> 01:09:48,017
- in Iron Man movie canon,
- he's introduced in this scene.
- 1207
- 01:09:49,643 --> 01:09:51,854
- And there is the box.
- 1208
- 01:09:51,937 --> 01:09:54,189
- "Property of Howard Stark."
- What's gonna be in there?
- 1209
- 01:09:54,273 --> 01:09:57,109
- And now, here we pull apart the Mark II.
- 1210
- 01:09:57,192 --> 01:10:01,405
- Legacy built a really cool, practical suit
- that could come apart.
- 1211
- 01:10:01,488 --> 01:10:05,576
- See the inner workings,
- and there he pulls out the arc reactor.
- 1212
- 01:10:06,118 --> 01:10:08,996
- For those of you playing at home, yes,
- 1213
- 01:10:09,079 --> 01:10:11,874
- the arc reactor
- should be in Tony's chest.
- 1214
- 01:10:11,957 --> 01:10:13,959
- Why is it in the suit?
- 1215
- 01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:18,297
- I hope nobody bumps on that too hard.
- 1216
- 01:10:18,380 --> 01:10:19,757
- We figured he built extra ones
- 1217
- 01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,301
- 'cause he had so much problem
- the last movie.
- 1218
- 01:10:22,384 --> 01:10:25,262
- He'd always want to have extras around.
- 1219
- 01:10:25,346 --> 01:10:26,639
- It also looks cooler
- 1220
- 01:10:26,722 --> 01:10:28,116
- in the Hall of Armour
- if the chests are glowing.
- 1221
- 01:10:28,140 --> 01:10:31,477
- So, we just sort of said that,
- that was the case.
- 1222
- 01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,854
- And you gotta know the special code
- to get into the room,
- 1223
- 01:10:33,938 --> 01:10:35,856
- so they're safe there.
- 1224
- 01:10:38,734 --> 01:10:40,402
- And here we go.
- 1225
- 01:10:44,823 --> 01:10:46,676
- Yeah, "I'm gonna upgrade
- your software." Hopefully, that helps
- 1226
- 01:10:46,700 --> 01:10:50,204
- to understand why Ivan was able
- to hack into the Iron Man suit later,
- 1227
- 01:10:52,456 --> 01:10:54,416
- and control it in War Machine.
- 1228
- 01:10:56,669 --> 01:10:58,253
- So, here we go, man. I was like,
- 1229
- 01:10:58,337 --> 01:10:59,856
- "We gotta have a scene
- where we have..."
- 1230
- 01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,216
- "I want this to be like Taxi Driver."
- 1231
- 01:11:02,299 --> 01:11:07,429
- I think some of the shots are even... The
- above, the overhead shot of the guns.
- 1232
- 01:11:07,513 --> 01:11:11,392
- So these are real guns,
- and originally they were fake guns,
- 1233
- 01:11:11,475 --> 01:11:13,894
- the prop guy brought
- some fake guns that we built,
- 1234
- 01:11:13,978 --> 01:11:16,897
- but the real ones
- looked so much more cool
- 1235
- 01:11:18,941 --> 01:11:21,235
- that I said to them,
- "Look, we gotta do..."
- 1236
- 01:11:21,318 --> 01:11:23,880
- We're up at Edwards Air Force Base,
- I said, "We gotta do the real guns."
- 1237
- 01:11:23,904 --> 01:11:26,740
- "Let's come up..."
- And then Justin scrambled to write it.
- 1238
- 01:11:26,824 --> 01:11:31,578
- And, actually, Justin is
- talking over an earwig
- 1239
- 01:11:31,704 --> 01:11:36,542
- to him in the scene,
- to help feed him the stats on this stuff,
- 1240
- 01:11:37,084 --> 01:11:39,086
- because I had just changed all the lines.
- 1241
- 01:11:39,211 --> 01:11:44,216
- So, he actually has an earpiece in here
- to help cue him for each of the things.
- 1242
- 01:11:44,967 --> 01:11:48,387
- Sam's a very fine actor,
- never has problems memorizing,
- 1243
- 01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:50,723
- but I threw him a curve ball that day.
- 1244
- 01:11:50,806 --> 01:11:53,559
- And so they ended up having
- a lot of fun together,
- 1245
- 01:11:54,476 --> 01:11:58,939
- where Justin would feed him lines
- and he would throw other things in,
- 1246
- 01:12:00,065 --> 01:12:01,459
- and then Rockwell would add things,
- 1247
- 01:12:01,483 --> 01:12:06,030
- and this was a very fun day
- with Justin and Rockwell, where they...
- 1248
- 01:12:06,113 --> 01:12:07,882
- It was almost like
- two musicians playing together,
- 1249
- 01:12:07,906 --> 01:12:10,242
- and it's one of my favourite scenes
- in the film.
- 1250
- 01:12:10,325 --> 01:12:13,120
- So, a lot of this run-on stuff
- was them both adding...
- 1251
- 01:12:14,413 --> 01:12:17,541
- They were both adding
- to the other person's thing.
- 1252
- 01:12:17,624 --> 01:12:20,169
- And one of my favourite lines
- in the scene, he says,
- 1253
- 01:12:20,252 --> 01:12:22,671
- "But I can tell this isn't disco enough
- for you,"
- 1254
- 01:12:22,755 --> 01:12:25,299
- he says about the Belgian gun.
- 1255
- 01:12:25,424 --> 01:12:27,184
- And I don't even know
- where he got that from.
- 1256
- 01:12:27,259 --> 01:12:29,139
- I don't even know what it means,
- but I loved it.
- 1257
- 01:12:29,261 --> 01:12:31,430
- And every cut, I was like,
- "Make sure that line's in."
- 1258
- 01:12:31,513 --> 01:12:33,153
- He only said it in one take of one thing,
- 1259
- 01:12:33,265 --> 01:12:34,576
- but I was like, "Make sure it's in."
- 1260
- 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,603
- "It isn't disco enough for you."
- 1261
- 01:12:40,939 --> 01:12:43,233
- And then he says here,
- "You're like a sphinx,"
- 1262
- 01:12:43,317 --> 01:12:47,279
- which is something that Ed Asner said
- about another performer on Elf once.
- 1263
- 01:12:48,030 --> 01:12:50,783
- He said,
- "I can't perform with that person."
- 1264
- 01:12:50,866 --> 01:12:53,494
- "It's like staring into the face
- of a sphinx."
- 1265
- 01:12:53,827 --> 01:12:56,622
- I'm not gonna say who.
- It's nobody you know.
- 1266
- 01:12:57,331 --> 01:13:00,584
- But he did say,
- "The actor's not giving me anything."
- 1267
- 01:13:00,667 --> 01:13:03,337
- "It's like staring into the face
- of a sphinx."
- 1268
- 01:13:03,462 --> 01:13:06,590
- And so he says,
- "I don't know what to make of you."
- 1269
- 01:13:06,673 --> 01:13:09,301
- "It's like I'm looking at a sphinx."
- 1270
- 01:13:10,844 --> 01:13:13,114
- Nobody would know that but me,
- except you guys know it now.
- 1271
- 01:13:13,138 --> 01:13:15,140
- And I love Ed Asner.
- 1272
- 01:13:15,641 --> 01:13:19,144
- And so we dig out of the box
- all the little secrets.
- 1273
- 01:13:21,021 --> 01:13:23,315
- Kodak, a partner of ours
- 1274
- 01:13:24,775 --> 01:13:25,984
- on the film.
- 1275
- 01:13:26,318 --> 01:13:29,446
- And here we are,
- there's the arc reactor, and so
- 1276
- 01:13:30,197 --> 01:13:32,574
- we didn't know
- if we were gonna get away with this.
- 1277
- 01:13:32,658 --> 01:13:34,698
- That the dad's talking to him
- from beyond the grave.
- 1278
- 01:13:35,953 --> 01:13:38,872
- But between Slattery,
- the way it was shot,
- 1279
- 01:13:38,997 --> 01:13:41,875
- and the great, great job
- Downey does here
- 1280
- 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:44,837
- in just emotionally engaging
- and reacting.
- 1281
- 01:13:44,962 --> 01:13:46,672
- And we had shot that film earlier.
- 1282
- 01:13:46,797 --> 01:13:48,757
- So, we were actually able to
- project that film,
- 1283
- 01:13:48,841 --> 01:13:51,301
- so he was reacting to Slattery.
- 1284
- 01:13:51,844 --> 01:13:54,125
- And so, when Slattery asked,
- "Just a cameo?" I said, "No."
- 1285
- 01:13:54,179 --> 01:13:56,807
- And I think
- this moment really makes it...
- 1286
- 01:13:56,890 --> 01:14:01,228
- I think it's a memorable moment. I think
- it was a good day's work for the guy.
- 1287
- 01:14:01,353 --> 01:14:04,356
- 'Cause I think he really made
- a big impression in the film.
- 1288
- 01:14:04,481 --> 01:14:07,359
- And there's Tony,
- we see how old Tony is.
- 1289
- 01:14:09,027 --> 01:14:11,697
- He's curious about this thing even then.
- 1290
- 01:14:11,822 --> 01:14:15,367
- And, of course, here Tony's seeing
- what their relationship was like.
- 1291
- 01:14:15,492 --> 01:14:18,453
- Not what you wanna see when you...
- 1292
- 01:14:18,537 --> 01:14:21,057
- If you have one little piece of footage
- you find with you and your dad,
- 1293
- 01:14:21,081 --> 01:14:25,002
- that's not exactly what you'd want.
- It's sad.
- 1294
- 01:14:26,169 --> 01:14:28,329
- His dad was an important guy,
- but wasn't there for him.
- 1295
- 01:14:28,380 --> 01:14:30,883
- And there he is, having a drink.
- 1296
- 01:14:31,884 --> 01:14:34,887
- Little things, you know, subtle but...
- 1297
- 01:14:40,017 --> 01:14:41,310
- Here he is.
- 1298
- 01:14:41,393 --> 01:14:43,562
- It's funny, but it's not to him.
- 1299
- 01:14:43,645 --> 01:14:45,665
- It's fun watching it with a crowd,
- 'cause they laugh,
- 1300
- 01:14:45,689 --> 01:14:48,233
- but they don't know
- if they're supposed to laugh or not.
- 1301
- 01:14:48,358 --> 01:14:51,820
- And we see that this damn book
- and these clues,
- 1302
- 01:14:51,904 --> 01:14:56,658
- what he thought was in the box,
- he's frustrated. There's nothing there.
- 1303
- 01:14:56,742 --> 01:15:00,412
- He's not gonna live, he's not...
- 1304
- 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,249
- And then here's the...
- 1305
- 01:15:06,835 --> 01:15:08,587
- Here's the thing.
- 1306
- 01:15:09,421 --> 01:15:13,342
- And I showed this to Damon Lindelof,
- who does Lost,
- 1307
- 01:15:13,425 --> 01:15:16,094
- because I thought
- they did a really nice job
- 1308
- 01:15:16,178 --> 01:15:18,865
- at the end of the first season,
- or the beginning of the second season,
- 1309
- 01:15:18,889 --> 01:15:21,850
- when they go down in the bunker
- and they see...
- 1310
- 01:15:21,934 --> 01:15:24,603
- There was the missing footage
- from the DHARMA Initiative thing,
- 1311
- 01:15:24,728 --> 01:15:27,272
- and they find the missing frames.
- 1312
- 01:15:27,773 --> 01:15:29,608
- So, this is sort of like
- the missing footage
- 1313
- 01:15:29,733 --> 01:15:33,445
- from the thing you see
- at the beginning of the movie.
- 1314
- 01:15:34,279 --> 01:15:36,448
- And Damon was like,
- "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
- 1315
- 01:15:36,531 --> 01:15:38,371
- "Is it good? Did we do it?"
- "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
- 1316
- 01:15:38,450 --> 01:15:42,287
- He was a very encouraging guy,
- very supportive, smart, smart dude,
- 1317
- 01:15:42,412 --> 01:15:44,092
- and one of the writers
- on Cowboys & Aliens.
- 1318
- 01:15:44,122 --> 01:15:46,291
- I'm actually working with him now.
- 1319
- 01:15:50,295 --> 01:15:52,214
- And there's the acceptance. He says,
- 1320
- 01:15:52,297 --> 01:15:55,509
- "Of all the things,
- all my work that's so important,"
- 1321
- 01:15:55,592 --> 01:15:57,886
- "you're the most important."
- 1322
- 01:15:58,220 --> 01:16:00,389
- And there he is, Robert does a...
- 1323
- 01:16:01,014 --> 01:16:04,559
- It's the best acting in the movie,
- for my money, right there.
- 1324
- 01:16:04,935 --> 01:16:08,939
- And then, boom!
- We go out, and he's ready now.
- 1325
- 01:16:09,022 --> 01:16:11,942
- He's connected with his dad,
- he's uncovered.
- 1326
- 01:16:12,025 --> 01:16:15,112
- It's like therapy,
- he uncovered the old wound.
- 1327
- 01:16:15,195 --> 01:16:16,571
- He faced it.
- 1328
- 01:16:17,531 --> 01:16:19,700
- His dad accepts him
- from beyond the grave,
- 1329
- 01:16:19,783 --> 01:16:21,618
- says, "You're not a bad kid."
- 1330
- 01:16:21,702 --> 01:16:25,580
- I like this. He gives a $80,000 watch
- for some strawberries.
- 1331
- 01:16:25,664 --> 01:16:28,875
- And this also shows that he's famous,
- like, everybody knows him.
- 1332
- 01:16:28,959 --> 01:16:31,586
- They like him. People still like the guy.
- 1333
- 01:16:33,046 --> 01:16:35,924
- And now he's ready to make amends.
- He goes to...
- 1334
- 01:16:36,967 --> 01:16:38,051
- He goes there.
- 1335
- 01:16:38,135 --> 01:16:39,278
- There was a lot of discussion about
- 1336
- 01:16:39,302 --> 01:16:40,863
- whether he should be going there
- to get the model,
- 1337
- 01:16:40,887 --> 01:16:42,848
- or he discovers the model.
- 1338
- 01:16:42,931 --> 01:16:45,434
- And Robert and I felt very strongly
- it was emotionally correct
- 1339
- 01:16:45,517 --> 01:16:49,396
- to have it be that you go there
- because he wants to be with Pepper.
- 1340
- 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:52,858
- He wants to talk to her.
- He's discovered something.
- 1341
- 01:16:53,442 --> 01:16:56,945
- He doesn't think he knows anything
- about how to solve his problem,
- 1342
- 01:16:57,029 --> 01:16:59,823
- but he knows what's important to him.
- 1343
- 01:17:01,283 --> 01:17:05,120
- And there's O'Reilly
- going off on Gwyneth.
- 1344
- 01:17:11,126 --> 01:17:14,546
- Life is not easy
- for Pepper Potts right now.
- 1345
- 01:17:14,629 --> 01:17:16,131
- He really made things uncomfortable.
- 1346
- 01:17:16,214 --> 01:17:18,192
- There's all his stuff, if you remember,
- from the first movie.
- 1347
- 01:17:18,216 --> 01:17:19,718
- This was his office.
- 1348
- 01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:22,345
- So we justify that the model was there,
- he sees it.
- 1349
- 01:17:22,429 --> 01:17:25,265
- It's not interesting, not a big deal.
- 1350
- 01:17:25,348 --> 01:17:28,894
- But we felt that if he went there
- just to get the model,
- 1351
- 01:17:28,977 --> 01:17:32,814
- instead of apologizing to Pepper,
- that it would make him selfish.
- 1352
- 01:17:32,898 --> 01:17:35,901
- And this way,
- we felt it was more sincere.
- 1353
- 01:17:36,443 --> 01:17:38,070
- He's really trying.
- 1354
- 01:17:42,032 --> 01:17:44,326
- Now, see this thing on the table?
- 1355
- 01:17:44,409 --> 01:17:46,995
- I showed up to the set,
- 1356
- 01:17:47,287 --> 01:17:52,167
- and Lauri Gaff in, our set decorator,
- was like, "Put that on the table."
- 1357
- 01:17:52,375 --> 01:17:55,087
- I'm like, "That's the most distracting..."
- 1358
- 01:17:55,545 --> 01:17:59,883
- The idea of set dressing is that
- you don't notice it that much.
- 1359
- 01:17:59,966 --> 01:18:01,652
- She was like,
- "Look, if you wanna use it, use it."
- 1360
- 01:18:01,676 --> 01:18:04,846
- "You don't, you can totally remove it.
- It's unique and hi-tech."
- 1361
- 01:18:04,930 --> 01:18:08,642
- And I was like,
- "No, let's put it right in his close-up."
- 1362
- 01:18:08,725 --> 01:18:10,936
- And so we turned it into a whole bit.
- 1363
- 01:18:11,019 --> 01:18:13,355
- So, it was a gift.
- 1364
- 01:18:13,438 --> 01:18:16,108
- She put the right thing in the set.
- 1365
- 01:18:17,150 --> 01:18:20,487
- But any time any department
- makes a choice,
- 1366
- 01:18:20,570 --> 01:18:23,031
- sometimes you gotta be able to tell...
- 1367
- 01:18:23,115 --> 01:18:24,801
- As a director,
- you're kind of not doing anything,
- 1368
- 01:18:24,825 --> 01:18:28,411
- but in a sense, you're sort of
- watching everything and making sure.
- 1369
- 01:18:28,495 --> 01:18:31,998
- Seeing if something's distracting,
- or if it's helping.
- 1370
- 01:18:32,124 --> 01:18:37,129
- And you gotta just be there.
- It's just a matter of balancing things out.
- 1371
- 01:18:40,465 --> 01:18:45,637
- That little ball on her desk was actually
- a big, important part of the movie
- 1372
- 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,516
- at one point. It was a tech-ball
- that could change shape and do things.
- 1373
- 01:18:49,599 --> 01:18:51,768
- That was supposed to
- set up the suitcase suit.
- 1374
- 01:18:51,852 --> 01:18:53,788
- And all we see in the movie now
- is just that little moment,
- 1375
- 01:18:53,812 --> 01:18:55,939
- looks like he's playing with something
- on her desk.
- 1376
- 01:18:56,022 --> 01:19:00,152
- But that was a tech-ball.
- It was a big plot point for a while.
- 1377
- 01:19:01,653 --> 01:19:04,990
- I like this, they get this good.
- "I need you to leave."
- 1378
- 01:19:06,908 --> 01:19:10,078
- And he's hurt. But he's made amends,
- you know. He tried.
- 1379
- 01:19:10,162 --> 01:19:12,247
- And you can't always get it accepted,
- 1380
- 01:19:12,330 --> 01:19:14,958
- but at least he's made that movement
- towards growth.
- 1381
- 01:19:15,041 --> 01:19:18,336
- And that's all part of that sort of subtle,
- 1382
- 01:19:20,422 --> 01:19:21,673
- 12-step-type thing.
- 1383
- 01:19:21,756 --> 01:19:27,012
- It's like, you humble yourself,
- you come to terms with your feelings,
- 1384
- 01:19:28,013 --> 01:19:30,098
- you sincerely try and...
- 1385
- 01:19:32,184 --> 01:19:33,685
- He's trying.
- 1386
- 01:19:37,355 --> 01:19:39,983
- And you see he's just up against it.
- 1387
- 01:19:40,066 --> 01:19:43,653
- Everybody's done with him.
- Well, Pepper certainly is.
- 1388
- 01:19:43,737 --> 01:19:46,281
- Natalie here has slid right in.
- 1389
- 01:19:47,616 --> 01:19:50,619
- Now he's just the odd man out
- in every way.
- 1390
- 01:19:51,536 --> 01:19:53,205
- And we added...
- 1391
- 01:19:54,039 --> 01:19:57,542
- I want to stick in her speaking Latin, too,
- 1392
- 01:19:58,376 --> 01:20:00,587
- because Gwyneth told me
- you can't speak Latin,
- 1393
- 01:20:00,712 --> 01:20:04,090
- so maybe she really does speak Latin,
- I don't know.
- 1394
- 01:20:05,217 --> 01:20:09,387
- "You can speak Latin?"
- We threw this in. This is all on the day.
- 1395
- 01:20:14,142 --> 01:20:17,604
- So now we were saying,
- "What should she say in Latin?"
- 1396
- 01:20:17,729 --> 01:20:20,732
- So, we're looking through all different
- things you could say in Latin.
- 1397
- 01:20:20,857 --> 01:20:24,069
- That's not what she said in Latin.
- What she really says in Latin is,
- 1398
- 01:20:24,194 --> 01:20:27,530
- "Not everything is as it seems,"
- I believe,
- 1399
- 01:20:27,781 --> 01:20:30,242
- which I thought worked well
- for Black Widow.
- 1400
- 01:20:30,742 --> 01:20:34,454
- Even the sculpture's giving him
- a hard time.
- 1401
- 01:20:37,707 --> 01:20:39,501
- Nothing's going his way.
- 1402
- 01:20:39,584 --> 01:20:41,544
- But he's in a better head space,
- if you notice,
- 1403
- 01:20:41,628 --> 01:20:42,948
- 'cause of the thing with the dad.
- 1404
- 01:20:43,046 --> 01:20:44,857
- I love what he does here
- with these strawberries.
- 1405
- 01:20:44,881 --> 01:20:46,567
- I think the strawberries
- were Robert's idea.
- 1406
- 01:20:46,591 --> 01:20:47,860
- "I should get her strawberries."
- 1407
- 01:20:47,884 --> 01:20:49,237
- "Why are you getting her strawberries?"
- 1408
- 01:20:49,261 --> 01:20:51,239
- "Like, on the street,
- I should get her strawberries."
- 1409
- 01:20:51,263 --> 01:20:52,514
- And it turned into a great bit.
- 1410
- 01:20:52,597 --> 01:20:56,810
- So for those of you who want
- to be directors, keep an open mind.
- 1411
- 01:20:57,310 --> 01:20:59,396
- "The key to the future is here."
- 1412
- 01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,065
- So, something's popping for him.
- He doesn't know what it is.
- 1413
- 01:21:02,148 --> 01:21:04,109
- But the dad said that in the video.
- 1414
- 01:21:04,776 --> 01:21:06,987
- In the video? Look at me. In the film.
- 1415
- 01:21:07,779 --> 01:21:10,740
- He's so good here, Robert.
- Look at him realise it.
- 1416
- 01:21:12,409 --> 01:21:13,285
- Look at that.
- 1417
- 01:21:13,285 --> 01:21:14,285
- Look at that.
- 1418
- 01:21:14,661 --> 01:21:16,454
- And here Lou D'Esposito,
- 1419
- 01:21:17,789 --> 01:21:21,209
- formerly worked with me on Zathura,
- 1420
- 01:21:21,293 --> 01:21:24,004
- shot some stuff for me there,
- on Iron Man,
- 1421
- 01:21:24,129 --> 01:21:26,423
- now a big part of the Marvel family.
- 1422
- 01:21:26,965 --> 01:21:29,301
- He shot that, went out there with a unit.
- 1423
- 01:21:29,426 --> 01:21:34,139
- Did a great job getting the laugh out of
- how we get that thing back to the house.
- 1424
- 01:21:44,649 --> 01:21:48,028
- And so we use
- this holographic stuff to...
- 1425
- 01:21:48,153 --> 01:21:50,655
- You know, we found that
- 1426
- 01:21:50,780 --> 01:21:53,325
- all the stuff we did on the screens
- last time,
- 1427
- 01:21:53,408 --> 01:21:55,493
- other movies were doing
- in the two years.
- 1428
- 01:21:55,618 --> 01:21:58,079
- And some did a really good job with it,
- 1429
- 01:21:58,163 --> 01:22:01,666
- but a lot of the stuff we did with the HUD
- and all that's been done by other people,
- 1430
- 01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:05,670
- so we wanted to do some new stuff.
- So we're saying it's all holographic,
- 1431
- 01:22:05,795 --> 01:22:09,341
- and we changed the HUDs up, too,
- on the inside.
- 1432
- 01:22:09,674 --> 01:22:12,260
- So, here we go.
- There's the map of the world's fair.
- 1433
- 01:22:12,344 --> 01:22:16,431
- Boy, this was a conundrum between
- our post-vis team from...
- 1434
- 01:22:21,353 --> 01:22:28,276
- Let's see. Prologue did this stuff,
- but The Third Floor did the post-vis.
- 1435
- 01:22:28,693 --> 01:22:31,696
- And between the two different groups,
- we were able to figure out
- 1436
- 01:22:31,780 --> 01:22:35,325
- how to make this dialogue
- actually make sense visually.
- 1437
- 01:22:35,825 --> 01:22:38,828
- Yes, Third Floor did a fine job for us.
- 1438
- 01:22:41,706 --> 01:22:43,208
- And then the HUDs were done
- 1439
- 01:22:43,333 --> 01:22:47,462
- by the people who did our pre-vis
- last time, PLF.
- 1440
- 01:22:48,046 --> 01:22:51,716
- And they did our HUDs.
- They did a very good job.
- 1441
- 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,194
- So, here we go.
- He's trying to figure it out.
- 1442
- 01:22:53,218 --> 01:22:57,514
- We wanted to make it that
- there was a map to a molecule,
- 1443
- 01:22:59,391 --> 01:23:02,560
- to a new element.
- Not a molecule, an element.
- 1444
- 01:23:03,061 --> 01:23:06,231
- So, it's kind of fudgy.
- We fudged things a bit.
- 1445
- 01:23:06,356 --> 01:23:09,692
- But it looks visually good,
- and Robert sells it.
- 1446
- 01:23:10,151 --> 01:23:12,004
- And we get the idea that
- he has to form a new element.
- 1447
- 01:23:12,028 --> 01:23:17,951
- And it kind of uses
- movie/comic book-y technology.
- 1448
- 01:23:19,119 --> 01:23:20,662
- None of this is really real.
- 1449
- 01:23:20,745 --> 01:23:23,748
- I learned about
- the underlying real technology.
- 1450
- 01:23:23,832 --> 01:23:26,126
- It's just not that cinematic.
- 1451
- 01:23:32,507 --> 01:23:34,300
- I like that he thanks his dad there.
- 1452
- 01:23:34,384 --> 01:23:37,387
- I like how, if you look, you'll see
- this interactive light on his fingers.
- 1453
- 01:23:37,470 --> 01:23:39,389
- That's because
- 1454
- 01:23:40,515 --> 01:23:43,601
- we used a real light bulb in there
- that we removed.
- 1455
- 01:23:47,480 --> 01:23:50,942
- For those of you who care
- about that kind of thing.
- 1456
- 01:23:51,067 --> 01:23:52,277
- I do.
- 1457
- 01:23:53,069 --> 01:23:57,282
- And we're back in hardware mode,
- and here he is, like in the first movie.
- 1458
- 01:23:57,365 --> 01:23:59,325
- You're not exactly sure what he's doing.
- 1459
- 01:23:59,409 --> 01:24:01,637
- We could have explained it more,
- but thought it would be fun
- 1460
- 01:24:01,661 --> 01:24:04,461
- if you're sort of keeping up with him
- and he's just wrecking his house.
- 1461
- 01:24:04,539 --> 01:24:07,208
- I love wrecking sets.
- 1462
- 01:24:07,750 --> 01:24:09,895
- 'Cause you gotta wreck them anyway,
- when you tear them down.
- 1463
- 01:24:09,919 --> 01:24:11,272
- Everybody's like, "Oh, my God, you're..."
- 1464
- 01:24:11,296 --> 01:24:13,496
- Yeah, when they tear
- these things down, they wreck them.
- 1465
- 01:24:14,174 --> 01:24:16,301
- May as well film it.
- 1466
- 01:24:16,593 --> 01:24:18,803
- That's going through his wall.
- 1467
- 01:24:20,805 --> 01:24:22,056
- And so
- 1468
- 01:24:23,391 --> 01:24:29,147
- he's setting up his prismatic accelerator,
- that's what we call it.
- 1469
- 01:24:30,273 --> 01:24:32,400
- And in comes Coulson.
- 1470
- 01:24:39,282 --> 01:24:42,076
- And here's our shield.
- 1471
- 01:24:42,577 --> 01:24:43,661
- So, this shield
- 1472
- 01:24:45,496 --> 01:24:47,415
- popped up in the first movie.
- 1473
- 01:24:47,498 --> 01:24:51,669
- ILM, as a sort of joke,
- put it in the background of his workshop.
- 1474
- 01:24:51,753 --> 01:24:53,796
- That would never exist in real life.
- 1475
- 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,507
- So many people noticed it.
- I said, "Yeah, put it in, why not?"
- 1476
- 01:24:56,591 --> 01:24:57,675
- You could barely see it.
- 1477
- 01:24:57,759 --> 01:25:00,803
- So many people noticed it,
- it became like...
- 1478
- 01:25:01,888 --> 01:25:02,972
- Part of this whole thing.
- 1479
- 01:25:03,514 --> 01:25:05,850
- So, we actually built one.
- We had our prop guy build one.
- 1480
- 01:25:05,934 --> 01:25:10,647
- And we said that he should pull it out
- of the storage container.
- 1481
- 01:25:11,231 --> 01:25:14,901
- And we said, "How can we have fun
- with this moment?"
- 1482
- 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:18,960
- Everybody's expecting us to deal with it,
- 1483
- 01:25:19,030 --> 01:25:23,826
- so he uses it just to level out his thing.
- 1484
- 01:25:23,993 --> 01:25:27,622
- But really what's interesting is that what
- he's talking about is the Easter egg.
- 1485
- 01:25:27,705 --> 01:25:30,041
- Because we're about to show
- the hammer,
- 1486
- 01:25:30,124 --> 01:25:31,960
- Thor's hammer, at the end of the film.
- 1487
- 01:25:35,129 --> 01:25:37,548
- So we're getting the audience
- to lean forward,
- 1488
- 01:25:37,632 --> 01:25:38,776
- thinking about the wrong thing,
- 1489
- 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,261
- and then we sort of
- take the piss out of that.
- 1490
- 01:25:41,344 --> 01:25:42,947
- And then they laugh,
- but they don't realise
- 1491
- 01:25:42,971 --> 01:25:46,557
- that we really are laying in
- some Avengers...
- 1492
- 01:25:48,017 --> 01:25:51,562
- Laying some pipe for the next movie.
- 1493
- 01:25:54,941 --> 01:25:57,568
- And Robert did lots of working out.
- 1494
- 01:25:58,486 --> 01:25:59,988
- And here it is,
- 1495
- 01:26:01,197 --> 01:26:03,032
- all his hard work.
- 1496
- 01:26:03,491 --> 01:26:07,078
- As he likes to say,
- he peaks for about three hours,
- 1497
- 01:26:07,161 --> 01:26:09,455
- and then it all disappears.
- 1498
- 01:26:09,539 --> 01:26:11,207
- And here's one of the moments
- 1499
- 01:26:12,542 --> 01:26:17,005
- where he was feeling good about
- all the work he'd done, he looks good.
- 1500
- 01:26:21,217 --> 01:26:23,177
- And here it is. So, in our movie,
- 1501
- 01:26:23,261 --> 01:26:26,306
- if you take one piece of metal
- and you shoot a laser at it,
- 1502
- 01:26:26,389 --> 01:26:30,518
- where the light's been accelerated,
- whatever that means.
- 1503
- 01:26:31,644 --> 01:26:36,607
- I thought the speed of light
- was a constant.
- 1504
- 01:26:36,858 --> 01:26:39,360
- But we're apparently accelerating
- the light here
- 1505
- 01:26:39,444 --> 01:26:42,322
- and making the laser shoot the thing,
- 1506
- 01:26:42,447 --> 01:26:44,133
- and whatever it is,
- it turns into another element.
- 1507
- 01:26:44,157 --> 01:26:46,075
- All that's important...
- 1508
- 01:26:46,159 --> 01:26:48,039
- Don't worry
- your pretty little heads about this.
- 1509
- 01:26:48,119 --> 01:26:51,748
- Just know that he made another
- element based on his dad's thing,
- 1510
- 01:26:51,831 --> 01:26:54,208
- and he did it 'cause he's Tony Stark
- 1511
- 01:26:55,376 --> 01:26:58,880
- and that's his superpower.
- He's a genius.
- 1512
- 01:27:00,465 --> 01:27:03,968
- What is nice is the way that we shot...
- 1513
- 01:27:04,385 --> 01:27:06,095
- I've learned more about visual effects,
- 1514
- 01:27:06,179 --> 01:27:08,639
- and by having this interactive source
- actually there,
- 1515
- 01:27:08,723 --> 01:27:12,060
- that was LEDs that we then replaced
- with the visual effect,
- 1516
- 01:27:12,143 --> 01:27:15,021
- it gives it the nice light
- on his eyes and face.
- 1517
- 01:27:15,980 --> 01:27:20,234
- And then that prop we outdid
- with a piece of digital work.
- 1518
- 01:27:20,318 --> 01:27:23,821
- I think that was Fuel did that one.
- 1519
- 01:27:25,031 --> 01:27:28,534
- And there it is, that's digital.
- It's nice. Looks good.
- 1520
- 01:27:28,659 --> 01:27:31,079
- Looks good. It was much flatter.
- 1521
- 01:27:31,371 --> 01:27:33,206
- There's Ivan and his bird,
- 1522
- 01:27:33,331 --> 01:27:36,667
- getting a call from Shandling
- and Rockwell.
- 1523
- 01:27:37,668 --> 01:27:39,629
- That was one of the last days
- of shooting.
- 1524
- 01:27:39,712 --> 01:27:43,174
- Why they are playing golf
- in Manhattan Beach,
- 1525
- 01:27:44,050 --> 01:27:46,094
- when Stern lives in...
- 1526
- 01:27:47,178 --> 01:27:49,514
- When Stern is in...
- 1527
- 01:27:49,889 --> 01:27:53,559
- He's from, I think, Pennsylvania
- and lives in Washington.
- 1528
- 01:27:57,522 --> 01:28:01,150
- And Hammer is, I think,
- probably in Queens.
- 1529
- 01:28:01,234 --> 01:28:04,612
- I guess he's not.
- I guess he's in California, is what it is.
- 1530
- 01:28:04,695 --> 01:28:07,115
- Which is why it takes long enough.
- And there it is.
- 1531
- 01:28:08,282 --> 01:28:11,953
- Hopefully, the movie's not out yet,
- hasn't been reviewed yet,
- 1532
- 01:28:12,036 --> 01:28:13,680
- I don't know
- if people like this movie or not.
- 1533
- 01:28:13,704 --> 01:28:16,344
- Hopefully, by the time you've seen this,
- people will have seen that
- 1534
- 01:28:16,416 --> 01:28:19,043
- and accepted the fact
- that just by showing that shot,
- 1535
- 01:28:19,168 --> 01:28:22,672
- we will believe that
- Ivan has built a Whiplash suit
- 1536
- 01:28:24,215 --> 01:28:26,426
- at the end of the movie.
- 1537
- 01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:29,595
- There's the bird man.
- 1538
- 01:28:31,389 --> 01:28:33,057
- Take his stuff.
- 1539
- 01:28:33,599 --> 01:28:35,893
- I like his performance here.
- 1540
- 01:28:36,018 --> 01:28:38,896
- He finally gets to go off. "I'm onto you.
- Something's wrong with you."
- 1541
- 01:28:39,021 --> 01:28:40,857
- He takes the bird away.
- 1542
- 01:28:41,524 --> 01:28:42,692
- I like this.
- 1543
- 01:28:48,197 --> 01:28:51,909
- There's a puppet of a bird.
- Not even, I think it's just a doll.
- 1544
- 01:28:53,119 --> 01:28:57,790
- What Skywalker Sound will do to
- help make the visuals more convincing.
- 1545
- 01:29:01,419 --> 01:29:04,046
- I like him going off on him, here.
- 1546
- 01:29:04,547 --> 01:29:07,800
- He's just fed up 'cause he's just been...
- 1547
- 01:29:08,759 --> 01:29:13,097
- Hammer's a guy that will kiss your ass
- if he needs something,
- 1548
- 01:29:13,222 --> 01:29:16,309
- and then when he doesn't need you,
- he's just gonna go off on you.
- 1549
- 01:29:16,434 --> 01:29:19,937
- I hate people like that.
- I hate people like that.
- 1550
- 01:29:22,648 --> 01:29:27,278
- And there we are, we see to the left
- is my stunt double, Dave Rowden.
- 1551
- 01:29:27,570 --> 01:29:28,650
- I've worked with him for...
- 1552
- 01:29:28,738 --> 01:29:32,909
- I think I met him on Tracey Takes On...,
- Tracey Ullman's show.
- 1553
- 01:29:33,493 --> 01:29:36,496
- I've worked with him
- for many, many movies.
- 1554
- 01:29:41,584 --> 01:29:43,211
- Hopefully, this scene is not just about
- 1555
- 01:29:43,294 --> 01:29:48,758
- Hammer's creating more conflict
- between the two of them
- 1556
- 01:29:48,841 --> 01:29:52,303
- and helping build the stakes,
- but also it'll help...
- 1557
- 01:29:54,305 --> 01:29:56,599
- It'll help on the day...
- 1558
- 01:29:58,100 --> 01:30:01,604
- It'll help us understand
- 1559
- 01:30:01,687 --> 01:30:04,982
- how Ivan figures out what to do
- and what his plan is.
- 1560
- 01:30:05,900 --> 01:30:07,818
- You get away with a lot being a genius.
- 1561
- 01:30:07,902 --> 01:30:09,129
- And we showed that
- he could do cool stuff
- 1562
- 01:30:09,153 --> 01:30:12,240
- with computers and with drones
- and with the suit.
- 1563
- 01:30:13,449 --> 01:30:15,826
- And then we say he's kind of like
- a dark Tony Stark.
- 1564
- 01:30:15,910 --> 01:30:18,079
- So, we get away with a lot.
- 1565
- 01:30:18,621 --> 01:30:20,807
- But you gotta lay just enough
- breadcrumbs to be convincing,
- 1566
- 01:30:20,831 --> 01:30:22,667
- but not enough that
- you get bogged down in it.
- 1567
- 01:30:22,792 --> 01:30:24,269
- You just want people
- to be able to enjoy it
- 1568
- 01:30:24,293 --> 01:30:27,296
- and believe that it's emotionally correct.
- 1569
- 01:31:08,004 --> 01:31:10,715
- There's the bodies
- hanging in the background.
- 1570
- 01:31:11,007 --> 01:31:12,567
- There we go, Oracle grid, we got it in.
- 1571
- 01:31:12,675 --> 01:31:15,970
- The good guys got the Oracle computer,
- so it's okay.
- 1572
- 01:31:16,053 --> 01:31:17,805
- And Oracle was a very good partner.
- 1573
- 01:31:17,888 --> 01:31:21,642
- I met Larry Ellison.
- He was a very, very nice guy.
- 1574
- 01:31:21,726 --> 01:31:26,564
- He sat around all day just to be a cameo
- in that one scene at the beginning.
- 1575
- 01:31:27,565 --> 01:31:31,068
- And then we named
- the Oracle Pavilion after him.
- 1576
- 01:31:31,152 --> 01:31:33,213
- I thought it was cool
- 'cause he likes Zen architecture,
- 1577
- 01:31:33,237 --> 01:31:35,906
- so I thought a Japanese garden,
- that should be the Oracle Pavilion
- 1578
- 01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:40,036
- 'cause we wanted to set something
- in a Japanese-inspired backdrop.
- 1579
- 01:31:40,494 --> 01:31:44,081
- That was part of what Genndy and I
- were talking about.
- 1580
- 01:31:46,334 --> 01:31:49,754
- Here we go,
- we see that the rash retracts
- 1581
- 01:31:49,837 --> 01:31:52,298
- now that the new thing is in.
- 1582
- 01:31:53,758 --> 01:31:56,385
- And here, momentum is our friend,
- I hope.
- 1583
- 01:31:58,721 --> 01:32:01,849
- We never actually show him
- building the Mark VI.
- 1584
- 01:32:01,932 --> 01:32:04,268
- You see in the additional scenes,
- 1585
- 01:32:07,188 --> 01:32:08,898
- we actually did.
- 1586
- 01:32:11,734 --> 01:32:17,657
- And that's a cool shot of our set,
- matched with some digital stuff.
- 1587
- 01:32:18,658 --> 01:32:20,534
- Digital extension.
- 1588
- 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:22,328
- And this is...
- 1589
- 01:32:22,828 --> 01:32:25,956
- Here we go, we got Justin
- dancing to Average White Band,
- 1590
- 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:28,417
- which is a song from Swingers.
- 1591
- 01:32:28,501 --> 01:32:32,463
- He wanted to do this to warm up
- and have fun.
- 1592
- 01:32:32,546 --> 01:32:33,690
- He said, "Can you play some music?"
- 1593
- 01:32:33,714 --> 01:32:34,900
- And they would play
- different music every time.
- 1594
- 01:32:34,924 --> 01:32:37,343
- And he loves to do
- his little James Brown dance.
- 1595
- 01:32:37,426 --> 01:32:38,636
- He's a really good dancer.
- 1596
- 01:32:38,719 --> 01:32:41,013
- But he would do it more
- to get in the character,
- 1597
- 01:32:41,097 --> 01:32:43,891
- and the editors actually kept cutting it in,
- 1598
- 01:32:43,974 --> 01:32:47,144
- and finally I said,
- "No, we gotta remove that."
- 1599
- 01:32:47,228 --> 01:32:50,106
- Finally, we removed it from the cut,
- 1600
- 01:32:50,189 --> 01:32:53,484
- and the producer's like,
- "Why'd you take that out? It was great."
- 1601
- 01:32:53,567 --> 01:32:55,695
- And I was like,
- "It was kind of fun, wasn't it?"
- 1602
- 01:32:55,778 --> 01:32:57,697
- And it's in character, so we...
- 1603
- 01:32:57,780 --> 01:33:00,199
- It's one of those things
- where you just get used to it,
- 1604
- 01:33:00,282 --> 01:33:02,576
- and you miss it when it's not there.
- 1605
- 01:33:02,660 --> 01:33:05,996
- And I think 'cause it's him,
- we get away with it.
- 1606
- 01:33:06,664 --> 01:33:10,126
- Maybe not, but I like it.
- It makes me smile every time.
- 1607
- 01:33:10,209 --> 01:33:12,628
- And it just makes him more of a knob.
- 1608
- 01:33:13,087 --> 01:33:16,048
- 'Cause that's kind of
- what you wanna sell here,
- 1609
- 01:33:16,132 --> 01:33:19,552
- that, again, he's Daffy Duck compared
- to Tony Stark's Bugs Bunny.
- 1610
- 01:33:19,635 --> 01:33:21,762
- Nobody claps with him.
- 1611
- 01:33:24,098 --> 01:33:28,477
- And then, ironically, all these awesome
- drones come out of the ground.
- 1612
- 01:33:31,731 --> 01:33:33,649
- And they come out of the ground,
- 1613
- 01:33:33,733 --> 01:33:35,860
- and we had one
- for each branch of the service.
- 1614
- 01:33:37,069 --> 01:33:39,947
- This is one of the shots
- we were working on very early, with ILM,
- 1615
- 01:33:40,030 --> 01:33:43,993
- because it wasn't a lot of animation,
- but we had to finalize the designs,
- 1616
- 01:33:44,076 --> 01:33:47,204
- and I think they got the integration
- very well here.
- 1617
- 01:33:47,288 --> 01:33:50,124
- So there's our army drones
- with the guns,
- 1618
- 01:33:50,207 --> 01:33:52,710
- I think it's called a Bushmaster,
- the gun on the back.
- 1619
- 01:33:52,793 --> 01:33:57,131
- I was doing research on real stuff
- to inspire what was there.
- 1620
- 01:33:57,840 --> 01:34:00,259
- The color scheme.
- 1621
- 01:34:00,342 --> 01:34:05,014
- And then the Navy,
- with those Polaris missile tubes
- 1622
- 01:34:05,097 --> 01:34:08,851
- on the shoulders.
- 1623
- 01:34:08,934 --> 01:34:13,439
- I love the fonts, the colours.
- 1624
- 01:34:13,522 --> 01:34:16,442
- And here's the Air Force. It's great.
- The DOD helped out.
- 1625
- 01:34:16,525 --> 01:34:19,987
- We had all these different themes
- and we couldn't get the rights to them,
- 1626
- 01:34:20,070 --> 01:34:23,866
- and the DOD helped us out
- and made some calls,
- 1627
- 01:34:23,949 --> 01:34:25,218
- and it all came together
- at the last minute.
- 1628
- 01:34:25,242 --> 01:34:29,580
- I think the Marines look super cool
- with their tiger-stripe pattern.
- 1629
- 01:34:30,414 --> 01:34:33,876
- And there they are. I like those a lot.
- 1630
- 01:34:36,003 --> 01:34:38,563
- I think it's fun. It's cool.
- It'd be cool if we really had those.
- 1631
- 01:34:38,631 --> 01:34:40,508
- Maybe someday.
- 1632
- 01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:44,512
- It was tough, also,
- to make the drone heads
- 1633
- 01:34:44,595 --> 01:34:47,306
- look like there's not people in them,
- 1634
- 01:34:49,391 --> 01:34:55,231
- but also not look like the drones
- from Star Wars.
- 1635
- 01:34:57,691 --> 01:34:59,193
- But I think they came a long way.
- 1636
- 01:34:59,276 --> 01:35:02,238
- Ryan Meinerding did a lot of work
- on that, on those suits.
- 1637
- 01:35:02,321 --> 01:35:04,341
- Those are all digital.
- We don't have any real ones of those,
- 1638
- 01:35:04,365 --> 01:35:10,287
- other than the neutral one that was built
- for the scene with Ivan in SpaceX.
- 1639
- 01:35:11,580 --> 01:35:14,833
- These are great shots.
- ILM did a great job on this.
- 1640
- 01:35:14,917 --> 01:35:16,102
- Really looks like
- there's somebody in there.
- 1641
- 01:35:16,126 --> 01:35:18,003
- That's totally digital, right there.
- 1642
- 01:35:18,087 --> 01:35:22,633
- We actually shot a version with the suit,
- the Legacy suit, that was good,
- 1643
- 01:35:22,716 --> 01:35:25,010
- but the shot that's in the movie
- is actually digital,
- 1644
- 01:35:26,554 --> 01:35:28,806
- of him coming out.
- It just looks super cool.
- 1645
- 01:35:28,889 --> 01:35:32,685
- I'm really happy
- with War Machine's design.
- 1646
- 01:35:32,810 --> 01:35:35,145
- I got the big bust poster in my house.
- 1647
- 01:35:35,729 --> 01:35:38,315
- And there we are,
- Flushing Meadow Park.
- 1648
- 01:35:38,399 --> 01:35:40,651
- Here he comes.
- And I just like the idea of...
- 1649
- 01:35:40,734 --> 01:35:44,947
- He shows up and lands, to save the day,
- and the crowd goes crazy.
- 1650
- 01:35:45,030 --> 01:35:49,243
- They love him. They still love him,
- more than all the stuff that he does.
- 1651
- 01:35:50,703 --> 01:35:52,413
- And this is a hard moment to make real,
- 1652
- 01:35:52,496 --> 01:35:54,623
- and make you understand
- and get it right.
- 1653
- 01:35:54,707 --> 01:35:57,751
- How would each person really react
- in this moment? How do you sell it?
- 1654
- 01:35:57,835 --> 01:36:00,796
- There's a lot of information
- being transferred around.
- 1655
- 01:36:00,879 --> 01:36:03,966
- I think the fact that ILM did
- a really nice job integrating everything,
- 1656
- 01:36:04,049 --> 01:36:07,636
- PLF did a good job with the HUDs,
- performances are good.
- 1657
- 01:36:07,720 --> 01:36:09,179
- We kept rewriting and changing,
- 1658
- 01:36:09,263 --> 01:36:14,018
- and re-shooting the HUDs
- about three times to get it right.
- 1659
- 01:36:16,562 --> 01:36:19,398
- And I think this communicated
- the information properly.
- 1660
- 01:36:19,523 --> 01:36:20,709
- That the suit's being taken over,
- 1661
- 01:36:20,733 --> 01:36:23,777
- and then you have to show
- that he's taking it over,
- 1662
- 01:36:23,861 --> 01:36:25,613
- and things coming down.
- 1663
- 01:36:25,696 --> 01:36:27,296
- You want to make sure
- everything's clear,
- 1664
- 01:36:27,364 --> 01:36:28,717
- but you also want to make it move fast
- 1665
- 01:36:28,741 --> 01:36:32,202
- and not feel like you're sitting around,
- waiting too much.
- 1666
- 01:36:32,286 --> 01:36:33,763
- So, I think
- everybody worked well together.
- 1667
- 01:36:33,787 --> 01:36:36,081
- I think once you buy
- what's going on here,
- 1668
- 01:36:36,206 --> 01:36:38,917
- then you can enjoy
- the rest of the sequence.
- 1669
- 01:36:39,043 --> 01:36:42,254
- Good job there. Cool.
- 1670
- 01:36:43,547 --> 01:36:46,050
- A lot of these shots,
- it took a long time for them to be right,
- 1671
- 01:36:46,133 --> 01:36:48,802
- but they finally came together.
- 1672
- 01:36:48,886 --> 01:36:54,391
- That's part of the process with this stuff.
- It often doesn't look real till the very end.
- 1673
- 01:36:55,809 --> 01:36:59,730
- See, look at that.
- I love all those flares and the sounds.
- 1674
- 01:36:59,813 --> 01:37:02,650
- That really goes a long way.
- Not seeing everything is usually better,
- 1675
- 01:37:02,733 --> 01:37:05,653
- and if you see,
- we play with darkness a lot here.
- 1676
- 01:37:05,736 --> 01:37:08,656
- And a lot of my notes were,
- "Just make it look... It looks too good.
- 1677
- 01:37:08,739 --> 01:37:11,283
- "Blur it. Make the lights bloom more.
- 1678
- 01:37:11,408 --> 01:37:13,994
- "Let's look at some real photography."
- I love this shot.
- 1679
- 01:37:14,078 --> 01:37:18,624
- It's hard to get your bearings,
- but it's fun, that one over his shoulder.
- 1680
- 01:37:18,749 --> 01:37:21,293
- Getting the twinkle of the lights right.
- 1681
- 01:37:22,586 --> 01:37:24,606
- You sort of do the best you can
- with all this stuff.
- 1682
- 01:37:24,630 --> 01:37:26,274
- The score, actually, I love,
- right here, too.
- 1683
- 01:37:26,298 --> 01:37:29,885
- Debney's score with the horns,
- as they're coming off the stage.
- 1684
- 01:37:29,968 --> 01:37:34,306
- Marc Chu doing his animation here.
- Very good animator.
- 1685
- 01:37:34,431 --> 01:37:36,892
- First time working with him
- as the main guy.
- 1686
- 01:37:36,975 --> 01:37:39,228
- He'd worked on the other film.
- 1687
- 01:37:39,311 --> 01:37:43,482
- But this time he was the main guy,
- working with Ben Snow.
- 1688
- 01:37:46,402 --> 01:37:48,254
- And there's Jack.
- Look, he got a whole part out of it.
- 1689
- 01:37:48,278 --> 01:37:50,989
- He was a food stylist, guys.
- 1690
- 01:37:51,115 --> 01:37:54,326
- See? If you do a good job, you know...
- 1691
- 01:37:55,911 --> 01:37:57,913
- 'Cause dreams come true.
- 1692
- 01:37:57,996 --> 01:38:02,167
- He was an actor before, too.
- It's not like I created him.
- 1693
- 01:38:02,292 --> 01:38:04,378
- He actually had done acting before.
- 1694
- 01:38:04,461 --> 01:38:08,507
- He was almost on, I think, Top Chef
- He's a really cool dude.
- 1695
- 01:38:08,632 --> 01:38:12,094
- And he and Rockwell
- had a great time together,
- 1696
- 01:38:12,177 --> 01:38:16,140
- bouncing off each other,
- so I just kept adding him to scenes.
- 1697
- 01:38:20,602 --> 01:38:26,984
- There's Pepper taking control,
- showing her a little strong in this thing.
- 1698
- 01:38:27,109 --> 01:38:29,903
- Here we go. You see
- the Hammer Pavilion in the background.
- 1699
- 01:38:29,987 --> 01:38:32,448
- Part of that's our real set.
- 1700
- 01:38:34,491 --> 01:38:39,121
- There we go.
- And now it's giant killer robots.
- 1701
- 01:38:41,957 --> 01:38:45,461
- Can't mess with the classics.
- Can't go wrong.
- 1702
- 01:38:47,963 --> 01:38:49,338
- And there we go. I like how the graphic
- looks like Missile Command,
- 1703
- 01:38:49,339 --> 01:38:50,650
- And there we go. I like how the graphic
- looks like Missile Command,
- 1704
- 01:38:50,674 --> 01:38:53,844
- for those of you over 40.
- 1705
- 01:38:57,848 --> 01:39:00,160
- And now we set off on our thing.
- So a lot of people are like,
- 1706
- 01:39:00,184 --> 01:39:02,686
- "You got a lot of villains,"
- but part of it was not to...
- 1707
- 01:39:02,811 --> 01:39:06,273
- I'm not a fan
- of making things overwrought.
- 1708
- 01:39:06,356 --> 01:39:10,778
- So, the trick was to weave everything
- so it wasn't in multiple story lines.
- 1709
- 01:39:10,861 --> 01:39:12,297
- There's only two real story lines going.
- 1710
- 01:39:12,321 --> 01:39:15,365
- It's the Ivan story with Hammer,
- and then there's the Tony story.
- 1711
- 01:39:15,491 --> 01:39:20,287
- I think when you get too many villains,
- too many threads are going.
- 1712
- 01:39:21,705 --> 01:39:28,378
- And so we kept Black Widow with Tony
- and Nick Fury in that vein,
- 1713
- 01:39:28,462 --> 01:39:29,880
- and then you had the Ivan stuff.
- 1714
- 01:39:29,963 --> 01:39:32,966
- And the Ivan stuff
- connected with Hammer.
- 1715
- 01:39:33,050 --> 01:39:38,055
- So it all, hopefully,
- isn't too convoluted here.
- 1716
- 01:39:38,180 --> 01:39:39,807
- 'Cause that is what happens
- with sequels,
- 1717
- 01:39:39,890 --> 01:39:41,058
- and we wanted to avoid that,
- 1718
- 01:39:41,141 --> 01:39:44,061
- but yet we wanted to build
- to The Avengers.
- 1719
- 01:39:44,144 --> 01:39:45,729
- So, that's what we're doing here.
- 1720
- 01:39:45,854 --> 01:39:47,397
- And there we go.
- 1721
- 01:39:49,066 --> 01:39:51,485
- And there he is, and...
- 1722
- 01:39:53,737 --> 01:39:57,574
- And here's Iron Man being a hero.
- 1723
- 01:39:59,993 --> 01:40:01,578
- "Nice work, kid."
- 1724
- 01:40:02,579 --> 01:40:06,542
- We were gonna have him say, "Stay
- in school," but that was too RoboCop.
- 1725
- 01:40:09,753 --> 01:40:13,841
- Cool. That's actually down
- at the Nokia center in LA.
- 1726
- 01:40:13,924 --> 01:40:15,759
- We changed the signage.
- 1727
- 01:40:16,927 --> 01:40:18,887
- Here we go.
- 1728
- 01:40:22,933 --> 01:40:25,269
- There's my big comedy moment.
- 1729
- 01:40:26,728 --> 01:40:30,107
- And that's actual plates shot
- in Queens there,
- 1730
- 01:40:30,232 --> 01:40:32,693
- right by where I used to live
- and grew up.
- 1731
- 01:40:32,776 --> 01:40:36,280
- So, it's really fun for me to actually be...
- I didn't shoot these plates.
- 1732
- 01:40:36,363 --> 01:40:40,951
- Here's a Genndy Tartakovsky moment
- we kept in there.
- 1733
- 01:40:41,034 --> 01:40:43,328
- That's from his storyboards.
- 1734
- 01:40:46,415 --> 01:40:49,585
- It's really fun for me
- 'cause they shot the plates
- 1735
- 01:40:49,668 --> 01:40:52,629
- right across the street from my house
- I grew up at.
- 1736
- 01:40:52,713 --> 01:40:53,797
- So, seeing all this stuff
- 1737
- 01:40:53,881 --> 01:40:56,842
- and putting all the digital work
- into where I grew up,
- 1738
- 01:40:56,925 --> 01:41:01,054
- it's kind of odd.
- But really fun. Really fun.
- 1739
- 01:41:01,138 --> 01:41:02,681
- One of the perks.
- 1740
- 01:41:02,764 --> 01:41:04,617
- It's when you really appreciate
- what you're able to do
- 1741
- 01:41:04,641 --> 01:41:08,562
- and what you have,
- and all these thousands of people
- 1742
- 01:41:09,980 --> 01:41:16,236
- essentially helping to support a vision
- and make a great film.
- 1743
- 01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:18,530
- But a lot of the decisions...
- As a director,
- 1744
- 01:41:18,614 --> 01:41:20,908
- there's a lot of arbitrary jump balls here.
- 1745
- 01:41:20,991 --> 01:41:23,535
- And to be able to shoot that
- at the Flushing Meadow Park
- 1746
- 01:41:23,619 --> 01:41:25,412
- across the street from where I grew up,
- 1747
- 01:41:25,495 --> 01:41:30,083
- and bring that park back to life,
- the park that I looked at and...
- 1748
- 01:41:30,167 --> 01:41:31,710
- It was closed after I was...
- 1749
- 01:41:31,793 --> 01:41:35,297
- I was born in '66, and it was open in '64.
- 1750
- 01:41:35,380 --> 01:41:37,191
- I never got to see the park,
- just heard the stories.
- 1751
- 01:41:37,215 --> 01:41:43,680
- And to have ILM basically rebuild it
- and modernize it digitally
- 1752
- 01:41:43,764 --> 01:41:45,766
- was a big thrill.
- 1753
- 01:41:48,310 --> 01:41:50,395
- And speaking of big thrills,
- 1754
- 01:41:51,563 --> 01:41:53,649
- here is Scarlett Johansson
- 1755
- 01:41:53,732 --> 01:42:00,238
- after months of training doing wire-work,
- flips, kicks, martial arts.
- 1756
- 01:42:01,949 --> 01:42:03,533
- Look at that.
- 1757
- 01:42:03,617 --> 01:42:07,371
- Look at that pose.
- We worked on that pose for a while.
- 1758
- 01:42:07,454 --> 01:42:08,956
- Lucha libre,
- 1759
- 01:42:10,123 --> 01:42:15,545
- which looks a lot better with her doing it
- than an overweight wrestler.
- 1760
- 01:42:21,885 --> 01:42:24,262
- A lot of different mixed martial arts
- in there.
- 1761
- 01:42:24,346 --> 01:42:26,598
- She had a wonderful double
- named Heidi.
- 1762
- 01:42:26,682 --> 01:42:29,267
- Did a great job helping her
- learn how to do it
- 1763
- 01:42:29,351 --> 01:42:32,854
- and doubling her
- for some of the more difficult moments.
- 1764
- 01:42:32,938 --> 01:42:35,774
- But I was amazed at
- how much we actually used Scarlett.
- 1765
- 01:42:35,857 --> 01:42:37,192
- I never expected that.
- 1766
- 01:42:37,275 --> 01:42:40,737
- And there's really me doing it, too.
- Look at that. I'm pretty good.
- 1767
- 01:42:40,821 --> 01:42:42,948
- I was Marciano.
- 1768
- 01:42:46,034 --> 01:42:50,080
- And she had the attitude down.
- And the hair, I love that hair.
- 1769
- 01:42:51,415 --> 01:42:55,961
- I guess her superpower is that
- her hair falls perfectly out of a bun.
- 1770
- 01:42:56,044 --> 01:42:57,921
- And the look.
- 1771
- 01:42:59,798 --> 01:43:01,883
- That's a lucha libre move.
- 1772
- 01:43:01,967 --> 01:43:07,097
- Good editing. Rick did a lot of this.
- It's good stuff. Really cool stuff.
- 1773
- 01:43:07,180 --> 01:43:09,683
- And a lot of this stuff moved around
- and wasn't together.
- 1774
- 01:43:09,766 --> 01:43:11,685
- And there was a thing
- where we strung a guy up,
- 1775
- 01:43:11,768 --> 01:43:13,913
- and I think we found a great...
- I love that last little moment.
- 1776
- 01:43:13,937 --> 01:43:15,272
- Lot of 'tude.
- 1777
- 01:43:15,355 --> 01:43:20,068
- And there's me fighting...
- American Gladiator, remember Toa?
- 1778
- 01:43:20,152 --> 01:43:23,780
- He's The Rock's double and cousin.
- Good guy.
- 1779
- 01:43:25,073 --> 01:43:28,577
- I never really could kick his ass,
- just for the record.
- 1780
- 01:43:28,660 --> 01:43:29,786
- That would never happen.
- 1781
- 01:43:29,870 --> 01:43:32,998
- That's the most unbelievable moment
- in the whole movie.
- 1782
- 01:43:33,081 --> 01:43:34,750
- But I guess Happy Hogan was a boxer,
- 1783
- 01:43:34,833 --> 01:43:39,004
- for those of you who read
- the comic books. I beat one guy.
- 1784
- 01:43:39,087 --> 01:43:41,256
- That was also a Genndy moment,
- by the way.
- 1785
- 01:43:41,339 --> 01:43:44,176
- And this is, too. Genndy Tartakovsky
- came up with a lot of good bits.
- 1786
- 01:43:44,259 --> 01:43:46,636
- Him and Bryan. A lot of good bits.
- 1787
- 01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:48,513
- And we expanded on them
- and changed them,
- 1788
- 01:43:48,597 --> 01:43:54,019
- and ILM worked on them and pre-vis
- and our storyboard artists,
- 1789
- 01:43:54,102 --> 01:43:59,066
- but a lot of the inception of these ideas
- came from ideas that those guys had.
- 1790
- 01:43:59,149 --> 01:44:01,068
- They were very, very...
- 1791
- 01:44:01,151 --> 01:44:03,904
- I learned a tremendous amount
- from them.
- 1792
- 01:44:04,696 --> 01:44:07,699
- This actually was just an interstitial part
- of the battle
- 1793
- 01:44:07,824 --> 01:44:11,078
- that turned into the ending,
- the culmination.
- 1794
- 01:44:11,995 --> 01:44:13,705
- And this whole bit of her walking up,
- 1795
- 01:44:13,830 --> 01:44:15,550
- this was part of
- the additional photography.
- 1796
- 01:44:15,665 --> 01:44:18,001
- You could tell because I weigh more.
- 1797
- 01:44:18,668 --> 01:44:23,006
- And she's actually now being used
- to reboot Rhodey,
- 1798
- 01:44:23,090 --> 01:44:26,885
- which, in the original conception,
- 1799
- 01:44:27,010 --> 01:44:30,263
- Tony rebooted Rhodey with a long spike,
- 1800
- 01:44:30,347 --> 01:44:33,183
- like R2-D2 has.
- 1801
- 01:44:33,767 --> 01:44:36,394
- Or like, I think, in RoboCop.
- 1802
- 01:44:37,687 --> 01:44:40,899
- And then it was left to us
- as a dangling participle there
- 1803
- 01:44:41,024 --> 01:44:42,668
- that didn't really have anything
- to do with anything.
- 1804
- 01:44:42,692 --> 01:44:44,712
- And so this is when
- additional photography is wonderful.
- 1805
- 01:44:44,736 --> 01:44:48,031
- In the few days we shot, we were able
- to make sense of this whole thing
- 1806
- 01:44:48,115 --> 01:44:49,407
- and make her relevant.
- 1807
- 01:44:49,533 --> 01:44:52,953
- As opposed to just,
- she got in there and Ivan's gone.
- 1808
- 01:44:53,703 --> 01:44:57,999
- So, this environment,
- the foreground is built at Sony,
- 1809
- 01:44:58,083 --> 01:45:03,046
- and everything beyond
- a certain distance was digital.
- 1810
- 01:45:05,132 --> 01:45:07,884
- I like this little moment here.
- 1811
- 01:45:11,721 --> 01:45:13,281
- This is what we call
- "the Skype moment."
- 1812
- 01:45:13,306 --> 01:45:16,893
- This was part of
- our additional photography, as well.
- 1813
- 01:45:17,727 --> 01:45:19,146
- This was...
- 1814
- 01:45:19,229 --> 01:45:22,232
- This wasn't even a scripted moment.
- 1815
- 01:45:22,315 --> 01:45:25,110
- I just shot plates when we were
- doing the shoot with Scarlett,
- 1816
- 01:45:25,235 --> 01:45:27,612
- who flew in from doing a Broadway play,
- 1817
- 01:45:27,737 --> 01:45:28,905
- wiping of the screens,
- 1818
- 01:45:28,989 --> 01:45:33,910
- and then I set the two of them up
- next to each other
- 1819
- 01:45:33,994 --> 01:45:37,247
- on little sets, these little fake-y sets,
- 1820
- 01:45:37,330 --> 01:45:39,392
- so that they could hear each other
- and bounce off each other.
- 1821
- 01:45:39,416 --> 01:45:41,751
- And I would feed them lines
- and things like that,
- 1822
- 01:45:41,835 --> 01:45:44,504
- and we took some passes at it.
- 1823
- 01:45:44,588 --> 01:45:46,590
- "Hammeroid" was something that...
- 1824
- 01:45:46,673 --> 01:45:50,677
- Dan Lebental would jokingly call
- the Hammer drones "the Hammeroids."
- 1825
- 01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:54,472
- And so I put that in there,
- and it turned into a nice little bit
- 1826
- 01:45:54,598 --> 01:45:56,725
- that actually helps a lot, story-wise.
- 1827
- 01:45:56,808 --> 01:46:00,270
- And if you can get the audience laughing
- while you're doing the exposition,
- 1828
- 01:46:00,395 --> 01:46:02,898
- it makes the medicine go down
- a lot easier,
- 1829
- 01:46:02,981 --> 01:46:05,358
- and it also helps the plausibility.
- 1830
- 01:46:05,442 --> 01:46:10,780
- If you get people laughing,
- they tend to be more accepting.
- 1831
- 01:46:11,781 --> 01:46:15,243
- Here, I love this scene.
- This was out for a while
- 1832
- 01:46:15,327 --> 01:46:16,929
- 'cause it felt like
- it was a momentum stopper.
- 1833
- 01:46:16,953 --> 01:46:18,639
- I love it. It's one of my favourite scenes.
- 1834
- 01:46:18,663 --> 01:46:21,166
- And I'm not a fan of looping or ADR.
- 1835
- 01:46:21,291 --> 01:46:24,211
- And so we asked Laura
- and the Skywalker team
- 1836
- 01:46:24,294 --> 01:46:28,590
- to do a lot of filtering,
- and they would've preferred to loop this,
- 1837
- 01:46:28,673 --> 01:46:30,610
- but you lose the chemistry.
- I would rather have...
- 1838
- 01:46:30,634 --> 01:46:32,510
- And there is water flowing,
- 1839
- 01:46:32,636 --> 01:46:37,098
- and they are in suits, so I believe
- that the sound could be a little bit off.
- 1840
- 01:46:37,182 --> 01:46:39,517
- But I just liked this performance
- of this take so much,
- 1841
- 01:46:39,643 --> 01:46:41,561
- and I just love them in those suits.
- 1842
- 01:46:41,645 --> 01:46:45,732
- They performed this
- basically in tracking suits and pajamas.
- 1843
- 01:46:45,815 --> 01:46:48,693
- So, it never was funny
- until they finally did the final rendering.
- 1844
- 01:46:48,818 --> 01:46:50,779
- So, I had to fight very hard
- to keep this scene in
- 1845
- 01:46:50,862 --> 01:46:53,949
- as I was getting notes from above,
- saying, "Hey, get it out."
- 1846
- 01:46:54,032 --> 01:46:56,243
- "Take 10 minutes out.
- Get this out. Get this out."
- 1847
- 01:46:56,326 --> 01:46:58,995
- And I was like,
- "This scene is gonna be good."
- 1848
- 01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,165
- And now we're all happy with it.
- 1849
- 01:47:02,290 --> 01:47:05,377
- But sometimes it takes faith,
- a bit of faith.
- 1850
- 01:47:05,502 --> 01:47:09,130
- This is a Genndy moment, here,
- with the taiko drums
- 1851
- 01:47:09,214 --> 01:47:13,551
- and them arriving and being around,
- and this big fight,
- 1852
- 01:47:13,677 --> 01:47:16,513
- 'cause I wanted it to be just a bloodbath.
- 1853
- 01:47:18,056 --> 01:47:19,557
- A PG bloodbath, so it's an oil-bath.
- 1854
- 01:47:23,853 --> 01:47:25,814
- And it's fantastic.
- 1855
- 01:47:25,897 --> 01:47:30,277
- My favourite moments of the film
- right here.
- 1856
- 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:32,696
- I could watch this forever.
- 1857
- 01:47:35,532 --> 01:47:37,372
- I love it. I love that,
- like the tank missiles.
- 1858
- 01:47:39,285 --> 01:47:42,122
- They're talking to each other.
- Look at this, man.
- 1859
- 01:47:42,205 --> 01:47:45,458
- And so much of it
- was getting a different fighting style.
- 1860
- 01:47:45,542 --> 01:47:47,627
- War Machine was
- a little too martial arts-y,
- 1861
- 01:47:47,711 --> 01:47:49,105
- and we wanted to make them different.
- 1862
- 01:47:49,129 --> 01:47:52,632
- So War Machine's clunky,
- like a biker kicking somebody.
- 1863
- 01:47:52,716 --> 01:47:56,052
- And look at this little moment.
- This was in the middle of the fight.
- 1864
- 01:47:56,136 --> 01:47:58,138
- We ended up making it
- at the end of the fight.
- 1865
- 01:47:58,221 --> 01:47:59,782
- It was like,
- "Well, why didn't you use it before?"
- 1866
- 01:47:59,806 --> 01:48:01,850
- So I said, "Well, we should say that."
- 1867
- 01:48:05,478 --> 01:48:07,063
- The most obvious thing.
- 1868
- 01:48:07,147 --> 01:48:09,399
- When Genndy was pitching that,
- 1869
- 01:48:09,482 --> 01:48:12,068
- the thing of a laser
- that would cut people in half...
- 1870
- 01:48:12,193 --> 01:48:14,714
- And that was just part of the battle.
- It was just one of many weapons.
- 1871
- 01:48:14,738 --> 01:48:18,241
- 'Cause Genndy's very much into...
- If you look at Samurai Jack,
- 1872
- 01:48:18,366 --> 01:48:22,162
- it's just, like,
- building on top of the ridiculous.
- 1873
- 01:48:22,245 --> 01:48:24,664
- It's taking those images to the extreme.
- 1874
- 01:48:24,748 --> 01:48:26,475
- And it's really tough,
- in a movie, to do that
- 1875
- 01:48:26,499 --> 01:48:30,253
- because you start crossing lines
- that you can't.
- 1876
- 01:48:30,378 --> 01:48:32,839
- You gotta live with this for
- not just the rest of the movie,
- 1877
- 01:48:32,922 --> 01:48:36,509
- but for sequels. You gotta keep balance.
- 1878
- 01:48:39,763 --> 01:48:44,934
- And as I was bringing those pictures
- to say, "Hey, this is a cool moment."
- 1879
- 01:48:47,187 --> 01:48:49,105
- The DP and the stunt guy
- and everybody was like,
- 1880
- 01:48:49,189 --> 01:48:51,608
- "Why wouldn't he have used it...
- It doesn't make sense."
- 1881
- 01:48:51,691 --> 01:48:52,859
- It was like, "Well..."
- 1882
- 01:48:52,942 --> 01:48:57,113
- And again, a good laugh
- will set you free often.
- 1883
- 01:48:57,238 --> 01:49:00,533
- So... This is funny.
- 1884
- 01:49:00,617 --> 01:49:02,845
- Like, "Lead with that next time.
- Why are you making me fight?"
- 1885
- 01:49:02,869 --> 01:49:05,789
- Sometimes you gotta
- fly right at the problem.
- 1886
- 01:49:05,914 --> 01:49:09,292
- Because the image was so strong,
- and I'm glad we were able to use it.
- 1887
- 01:49:09,417 --> 01:49:11,377
- It's a great image.
- 1888
- 01:49:11,461 --> 01:49:13,296
- Look who's here.
- 1889
- 01:49:16,257 --> 01:49:18,093
- There he is.
- 1890
- 01:49:19,761 --> 01:49:21,596
- "Good to be back."
- 1891
- 01:49:22,972 --> 01:49:24,450
- Which is what Tony says
- at the beginning.
- 1892
- 01:49:24,474 --> 01:49:26,935
- So, here's the Ex-Wife we set up.
- 1893
- 01:49:28,728 --> 01:49:31,606
- I've not seen this with an audience yet.
- I hope it gets a laugh.
- 1894
- 01:49:31,689 --> 01:49:33,525
- I don't know.
- 1895
- 01:49:35,401 --> 01:49:38,738
- So we set up the Ex-Wife so much,
- and then it does this.
- 1896
- 01:49:41,825 --> 01:49:46,121
- And there's the little fart noise
- in the water.
- 1897
- 01:49:47,122 --> 01:49:48,832
- With apologies
- 1898
- 01:49:48,915 --> 01:49:52,669
- to people with a more sophisticated
- sense of humor than me.
- 1899
- 01:49:52,752 --> 01:49:57,674
- There's the shoulder missiles
- he uses against the bad guys in Gulmira
- 1900
- 01:49:57,757 --> 01:49:59,342
- in the last film.
- 1901
- 01:49:59,425 --> 01:50:02,345
- This is great.
- Ben Snow pitched an environment
- 1902
- 01:50:02,428 --> 01:50:05,598
- that it got really smoky and dark in here,
- 1903
- 01:50:05,682 --> 01:50:11,813
- and you just saw spot fires and smoke,
- and that would help change the look.
- 1904
- 01:50:11,896 --> 01:50:15,483
- So, the look of it changes
- because of that big fight that happened.
- 1905
- 01:50:15,567 --> 01:50:18,254
- There really was a lot of smoke when
- we were blowing those charges up.
- 1906
- 01:50:18,278 --> 01:50:21,948
- I mean, there's a lot of real explosions
- in that last thing
- 1907
- 01:50:22,031 --> 01:50:25,201
- that helps sell
- that little back-to-back fight.
- 1908
- 01:50:25,285 --> 01:50:29,789
- And so I think they did a really nice job
- here with the Whiplash suit,
- 1909
- 01:50:29,873 --> 01:50:32,917
- and playing with the light
- and the darkness,
- 1910
- 01:50:33,001 --> 01:50:36,880
- and the chaos of it,
- and integrating him into the suit.
- 1911
- 01:50:36,963 --> 01:50:38,339
- This was a late-breaking idea,
- 1912
- 01:50:38,423 --> 01:50:41,676
- so there wasn't as much time on this
- as the other stuff.
- 1913
- 01:50:41,759 --> 01:50:44,405
- I really trusted them to hold the standard
- as high as the other stuff,
- 1914
- 01:50:44,429 --> 01:50:47,390
- and I think that this CG work
- is very, very strong.
- 1915
- 01:50:47,473 --> 01:50:50,894
- A lot of it was helped by Steve Scott,
- our color timer,
- 1916
- 01:50:50,977 --> 01:50:52,604
- did a great job here, as well.
- 1917
- 01:50:52,687 --> 01:50:55,773
- And then, of course,
- our performers with the voices
- 1918
- 01:50:55,857 --> 01:50:58,693
- helping to sell the whole thing.
- 1919
- 01:50:59,944 --> 01:51:03,865
- And then here we call back the moment
- from the house fight,
- 1920
- 01:51:03,948 --> 01:51:07,285
- and hopefully it doesn't feel arbitrary.
- 1921
- 01:51:07,368 --> 01:51:10,538
- It feels well set up. That's the trick.
- 1922
- 01:51:11,289 --> 01:51:13,769
- 'Cause none of it's real,
- but you just want it to be plausible,
- 1923
- 01:51:13,833 --> 01:51:17,462
- and part of that
- is how you establish the reality.
- 1924
- 01:51:18,421 --> 01:51:21,382
- There was a whole little dialogue scene
- here of them coming together.
- 1925
- 01:51:21,466 --> 01:51:24,677
- It just felt a little bit false.
- 1926
- 01:51:24,761 --> 01:51:27,472
- You don't want to get
- too comic book movie-ish.
- 1927
- 01:51:27,555 --> 01:51:30,016
- Don't take that the wrong way.
- 1928
- 01:51:30,099 --> 01:51:31,911
- But a lot of the time,
- stuff you say in comic books,
- 1929
- 01:51:31,935 --> 01:51:34,479
- when you say it in a movie,
- doesn't look...
- 1930
- 01:51:35,355 --> 01:51:37,732
- It isn't convincing.
- 1931
- 01:51:39,859 --> 01:51:44,530
- So we just had him say, "You lose,"
- like he did on the track.
- 1932
- 01:51:44,614 --> 01:51:47,951
- Here's our little homage to Predator.
- 1933
- 01:51:48,034 --> 01:51:50,536
- That's the polite way of saying that.
- 1934
- 01:51:53,248 --> 01:51:55,083
- And there he's flying,
- trying to get his girl,
- 1935
- 01:51:55,166 --> 01:51:57,710
- past the Kodak... There.
- 1936
- 01:52:00,630 --> 01:52:03,174
- Here it is. Boom. He grabs her.
- 1937
- 01:52:03,466 --> 01:52:05,385
- Boom, boom, boom.
- 1938
- 01:52:05,468 --> 01:52:07,303
- And now we needed a place...
- 1939
- 01:52:07,387 --> 01:52:08,781
- The idea, at first,
- was that they were gonna
- 1940
- 01:52:08,805 --> 01:52:10,324
- land on one of those observation decks,
- 1941
- 01:52:10,348 --> 01:52:12,058
- but it was too close,
- we needed a building.
- 1942
- 01:52:12,141 --> 01:52:15,812
- So I said, "Hey, I used to live
- across the street from there."
- 1943
- 01:52:15,895 --> 01:52:17,021
- "Get up to the roof."
- 1944
- 01:52:17,105 --> 01:52:19,565
- I lived on the 12th floor.
- It's a 15-story building.
- 1945
- 01:52:19,649 --> 01:52:24,112
- So, this was essentially the view
- that I had my whole childhood.
- 1946
- 01:52:24,195 --> 01:52:26,823
- That's what I grew up looking at.
- 1947
- 01:52:29,492 --> 01:52:31,411
- And here they are.
- 1948
- 01:52:33,997 --> 01:52:35,748
- I like what ILM did with the suit.
- 1949
- 01:52:35,832 --> 01:52:37,893
- That's a digital suit.
- Completely digital suit there.
- 1950
- 01:52:37,917 --> 01:52:40,420
- This was the last day of photography.
- 1951
- 01:52:40,503 --> 01:52:43,548
- And we finally get the kiss for real.
- 1952
- 01:52:43,631 --> 01:52:48,428
- Not like the fake kiss in the first trailer,
- that we cut out,
- 1953
- 01:52:48,511 --> 01:52:50,972
- but everybody thought was in.
- 1954
- 01:52:53,016 --> 01:52:57,270
- And I like how they're going at it,
- getting mad at each other.
- 1955
- 01:52:59,522 --> 01:53:02,400
- And she quits for all the right reasons.
- 1956
- 01:53:03,526 --> 01:53:06,821
- And he apologizes and says,
- "Hey, thank you."
- 1957
- 01:53:06,904 --> 01:53:09,574
- And he finally...
- 1958
- 01:53:10,908 --> 01:53:13,953
- He grew up a little bit in this movie.
- I like it.
- 1959
- 01:53:15,246 --> 01:53:16,557
- And here, look how
- they play the chemistry.
- 1960
- 01:53:16,581 --> 01:53:18,017
- They have such good chemistry
- together, these two.
- 1961
- 01:53:18,041 --> 01:53:21,878
- I love that kiss.
- I love the music Debney's playing here.
- 1962
- 01:53:23,713 --> 01:53:27,592
- It's like Shrek. I think.
- I don't know. I'm not a musician.
- 1963
- 01:53:27,717 --> 01:53:30,636
- It sounds like... In a good way.
- 1964
- 01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:32,764
- I like that music.
- 1965
- 01:53:32,889 --> 01:53:35,475
- "It's not weird. It's not weird."
- 1966
- 01:53:36,392 --> 01:53:39,562
- And we pull the rug good,
- 'cause you can't...
- 1967
- 01:53:41,439 --> 01:53:44,484
- There's the Empire State Building
- back there.
- 1968
- 01:53:47,820 --> 01:53:49,447
- I like...
- 1969
- 01:53:49,572 --> 01:53:51,616
- Hopefully, in future movies,
- 1970
- 01:53:51,741 --> 01:53:54,285
- this is the vibe
- between Tony and Rhodey.
- 1971
- 01:53:54,410 --> 01:53:58,456
- I like this relationship,
- and Cheadle's great at this stuff.
- 1972
- 01:53:58,581 --> 01:54:01,626
- His rhythm is very entertaining to me,
- 1973
- 01:54:01,751 --> 01:54:05,254
- his cadence, and he's owning it.
- 1974
- 01:54:05,338 --> 01:54:09,258
- Man, I like it. It's like,
- "Yeah, we got War Machine now."
- 1975
- 01:54:12,804 --> 01:54:15,306
- And there's my view from my room.
- 1976
- 01:54:15,431 --> 01:54:17,349
- And he doesn't let her resign.
- That's ADR. That wasn't in there.
- 1977
- 01:54:17,350 --> 01:54:18,994
- And he doesn't let her resign.
- That's ADR. That wasn't in there.
- 1978
- 01:54:19,018 --> 01:54:22,605
- And here is our... Look what's on there!
- It's The Hulk.
- 1979
- 01:54:23,773 --> 01:54:26,234
- Yeah, that's from The Hulk,
- 1980
- 01:54:26,317 --> 01:54:29,278
- which means this movie took place
- before The Hulk.
- 1981
- 01:54:30,780 --> 01:54:34,367
- I said to Kevin Feige,
- when I saw The Hulk,
- 1982
- 01:54:35,201 --> 01:54:38,579
- I said, "What the... How am I gonna..."
- 1983
- 01:54:38,663 --> 01:54:40,891
- "You can't have Tony Stark
- walking at the end of the thing.
- 1984
- 01:54:40,915 --> 01:54:42,226
- "What? Do I ignore..." He says,
- 1985
- 01:54:42,250 --> 01:54:44,103
- "No, it doesn't have to happen
- in the right time frame.
- 1986
- 01:54:44,127 --> 01:54:47,505
- "Comic books jump around."
- I said, "Oh, okay."
- 1987
- 01:54:47,630 --> 01:54:48,673
- So, we put it at the end.
- 1988
- 01:54:48,798 --> 01:54:51,884
- And if you look, you'll see
- there's a crater on the other monitor.
- 1989
- 01:54:51,968 --> 01:54:54,595
- That's the Thor thing.
- 1990
- 01:54:54,679 --> 01:54:56,556
- That's where the hammer
- was recovered.
- 1991
- 01:54:56,639 --> 01:55:01,269
- There's your S. H. I. E. I. D. logo.
- I mean, this is just geek heaven, here.
- 1992
- 01:55:02,645 --> 01:55:04,355
- And if you think anything
- on those monitors
- 1993
- 01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,942
- is not something we didn't talk about
- for hours, you're crazy.
- 1994
- 01:55:08,025 --> 01:55:09,819
- Every one of them.
- 1995
- 01:55:09,944 --> 01:55:13,739
- This is Marvel. One movie goes down,
- all of them go down.
- 1996
- 01:55:13,823 --> 01:55:16,117
- It's a lot of responsibility.
- 1997
- 01:55:17,994 --> 01:55:19,328
- It's a lot of responsibility.
- 1998
- 01:55:19,453 --> 01:55:23,374
- And if you look at that one,
- you see there's a map up there?
- 1999
- 01:55:26,002 --> 01:55:28,421
- So if you look at those maps,
- each one of those locations
- 2000
- 01:55:28,504 --> 01:55:32,300
- corresponds to something
- in the Marvel Universe.
- 2001
- 01:55:33,676 --> 01:55:35,887
- I don't know if I'm supposed to say that.
- 2002
- 01:55:36,637 --> 01:55:38,448
- As long as I don't tweet it.
- I guess I could say it here.
- 2003
- 01:55:38,472 --> 01:55:40,057
- I can't tweet it.
- 2004
- 01:55:52,570 --> 01:55:56,157
- There. If you look at each one,
- and I know what they mean,
- 2005
- 01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:57,968
- but I'm not gonna say
- what each one of them are.
- 2006
- 01:55:57,992 --> 01:55:59,636
- But I will say that
- one of them relates to...
- 2007
- 01:55:59,660 --> 01:56:02,205
- I think two of them
- relate to Captain America,
- 2008
- 01:56:02,330 --> 01:56:04,582
- one of them relates to Thor.
- 2009
- 01:56:05,208 --> 01:56:10,254
- The one in Africa, I think,
- relates to Black Panther.
- 2010
- 01:56:10,379 --> 01:56:14,008
- Oh, here we go. And there's the funny...
- 2011
- 01:56:14,091 --> 01:56:16,469
- "Please, Garry, come back
- for one more scene."
- 2012
- 01:56:16,552 --> 01:56:18,054
- He did.
- 2013
- 01:56:18,179 --> 01:56:21,599
- Good pay-off.
- This was additional photography.
- 2014
- 01:56:24,685 --> 01:56:25,811
- It's good stuff.
- 2015
- 01:56:25,895 --> 01:56:28,814
- And, oh, my God, to get to use AC/DC.
- 2016
- 01:56:28,898 --> 01:56:30,650
- So many movies
- I've wanted to use AC/DC.
- 2017
- 01:56:30,733 --> 01:56:32,169
- I've been in movies
- where they wanted to use AC/DC.
- 2018
- 01:56:32,193 --> 01:56:33,319
- You can't.
- 2019
- 01:56:33,402 --> 01:56:37,240
- I met with Angus Young and his brother
- 2020
- 01:56:38,908 --> 01:56:44,664
- and their managers and Sony Music,
- and they liked how we used...
- 2021
- 01:56:44,747 --> 01:56:46,916
- They liked how we used Back in Black
- in the first one.
- 2022
- 01:56:47,041 --> 01:56:49,502
- They didn't even know
- that they had granted the rights.
- 2023
- 01:56:49,585 --> 01:56:51,754
- The band didn't,
- but their management did.
- 2024
- 01:56:51,879 --> 01:56:55,091
- And they went to see the movie,
- and saw Back in Black and they liked it
- 2025
- 01:56:55,216 --> 01:56:57,927
- at the beginning of Iron Man 1.
- And so they were into it.
- 2026
- 01:56:58,052 --> 01:56:59,428
- I met them. I love them.
- 2027
- 01:56:59,553 --> 01:57:02,515
- I've seen them
- since I was in high school.
- 2028
- 01:57:02,598 --> 01:57:05,268
- For Those About to Rock Tour.
- 2029
- 01:57:05,351 --> 01:57:08,688
- And there's our funny ending.
- We had three endings. Always hard.
- 2030
- 01:57:08,771 --> 01:57:10,189
- I'd done it before in Elf
- 2031
- 01:57:10,273 --> 01:57:13,526
- I said, "Trust me, we'll make it work."
- I think we did.
- 2032
- 01:57:13,609 --> 01:57:17,780
- And now I will talk about other things.
- 2033
- 01:57:18,406 --> 01:57:20,217
- Because I like,
- when I'm watching a commentary,
- 2034
- 01:57:20,241 --> 01:57:22,785
- when they keep talking over this part.
- 2035
- 01:57:22,868 --> 01:57:26,455
- So I'll try to talk about things
- that come up from this,
- 2036
- 01:57:26,580 --> 01:57:30,126
- from what we're looking at.
- So, that's the AC/DC story.
- 2037
- 01:57:30,251 --> 01:57:33,796
- I went to see them.
- There's Adam Goldstein's credit.
- 2038
- 01:57:34,797 --> 01:57:37,967
- And you'll see at the end,
- the film is in memory of him.
- 2039
- 01:57:38,050 --> 01:57:40,219
- It'll say, "In memory of Adam Goldstein."
- 2040
- 01:57:40,303 --> 01:57:44,974
- He was a special, special guy,
- and very proud to have him in the film.
- 2041
- 01:57:46,434 --> 01:57:50,813
- And very beloved
- by all the people who knew him,
- 2042
- 01:57:50,896 --> 01:57:53,149
- and a good dude.
- 2043
- 01:57:53,482 --> 01:57:57,945
- And hopefully his family likes this,
- and his friends, what we did here.
- 2044
- 01:57:59,238 --> 01:58:02,992
- There you go.
- We got Jack Kirby, Don Heck, Stan Lee.
- 2045
- 01:58:03,075 --> 01:58:04,994
- They get their credits.
- There's Adi Granov.
- 2046
- 01:58:05,119 --> 01:58:08,164
- He did some designs for us
- on this one here.
- 2047
- 01:58:09,582 --> 01:58:13,044
- And Peter Mavromates
- deserves a medal
- 2048
- 01:58:13,127 --> 01:58:16,380
- for all the logistical issues
- we had on this in post-production.
- 2049
- 01:58:16,464 --> 01:58:17,590
- He did a great job.
- 2050
- 01:58:17,673 --> 01:58:20,593
- There's Genndy and Bryan.
- Great, great...
- 2051
- 01:58:20,676 --> 01:58:26,474
- I cannot overstate their contribution
- and how creatively great they are.
- 2052
- 01:58:26,557 --> 01:58:29,268
- And I can't wait for Genndy
- to be directing a feature.
- 2053
- 01:58:29,352 --> 01:58:31,288
- I know he does mostly animated stuff
- in television.
- 2054
- 01:58:31,312 --> 01:58:34,523
- But he's got quite an eye,
- and he's very creative.
- 2055
- 01:58:34,607 --> 01:58:37,735
- He's a fountainhead of ideas.
- He's great.
- 2056
- 01:58:38,861 --> 01:58:42,281
- And so part of the... We got the scene
- at the end of the credits here.
- 2057
- 01:58:42,365 --> 01:58:45,493
- We got the Thor scene.
- I don't think I'm ruining anything.
- 2058
- 01:58:45,576 --> 01:58:47,054
- You've all seen the movie
- if you're watching this.
- 2059
- 01:58:47,078 --> 01:58:48,722
- If you're watching this for the first time,
- 2060
- 01:58:48,746 --> 01:58:51,415
- watch it without
- the commentary, please.
- 2061
- 01:58:53,667 --> 01:58:55,795
- And then come back and watch this.
- 2062
- 01:58:57,004 --> 01:58:59,965
- A lot of these credits are, like,
- four-abreast or double credits.
- 2063
- 01:59:00,049 --> 01:59:03,969
- We had six minutes of credits.
- It was a lot to make people sit through.
- 2064
- 01:59:04,053 --> 01:59:05,221
- We were pulling our hair out.
- 2065
- 01:59:05,304 --> 01:59:08,516
- And you're realizing
- as you're watching this,
- 2066
- 01:59:08,599 --> 01:59:10,851
- the economy got...
- 2067
- 01:59:10,935 --> 01:59:13,354
- The time this film was done
- 2068
- 01:59:13,437 --> 01:59:16,690
- was sort of the time
- that the economy took a nasty hit,
- 2069
- 01:59:16,774 --> 01:59:20,152
- with the banks failing and bailouts.
- 2070
- 01:59:21,153 --> 01:59:23,989
- And the business model shifted,
- 2071
- 01:59:24,073 --> 01:59:26,826
- and piracy is really
- hurting the industry so much,
- 2072
- 01:59:26,909 --> 01:59:29,745
- 'cause DVD money was relied upon
- to make movies like this.
- 2073
- 01:59:29,829 --> 01:59:31,997
- And that's disappearing quickly.
- 2074
- 01:59:32,081 --> 01:59:34,875
- Thank you for buying this,
- if in fact you did.
- 2075
- 01:59:34,959 --> 01:59:38,087
- If you pirated it,
- you should be ashamed of yourself.
- 2076
- 01:59:38,170 --> 01:59:41,882
- But if you bought this,
- and you're supporting some...
- 2077
- 01:59:41,966 --> 01:59:44,969
- And I think that's all gonna change
- anyway. I don't know that DVDs...
- 2078
- 01:59:45,052 --> 01:59:48,264
- DVDs are gonna be for collectors
- and film enthusiasts,
- 2079
- 01:59:48,347 --> 01:59:52,768
- but the mainstream will download films
- in the future.
- 2080
- 01:59:53,519 --> 01:59:56,021
- Exclusively. Like music.
- 2081
- 01:59:58,023 --> 02:00:01,068
- And so you look at these credits
- going for six minutes,
- 2082
- 02:00:01,152 --> 02:00:03,296
- and it's like, "Oh, my God,
- how are we gonna make them shorter?"
- 2083
- 02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:04,989
- "How can we make it go faster?"
- 2084
- 02:00:05,072 --> 02:00:08,617
- You realise all these people worked...
- I mean, these people...
- 2085
- 02:00:08,701 --> 02:00:12,663
- For two years, these people worked.
- 2086
- 02:00:12,746 --> 02:00:14,290
- It's a lot of...
- 2087
- 02:00:14,373 --> 02:00:16,542
- And it makes me very proud,
- this part of it.
- 2088
- 02:00:16,625 --> 02:00:20,129
- It's like all these people who are
- all very capable and hardworking,
- 2089
- 02:00:20,212 --> 02:00:23,883
- a lot of these people, especially
- as we get into the digital effects stuff,
- 2090
- 02:00:23,966 --> 02:00:26,427
- those people did not sleep
- for a long time.
- 2091
- 02:00:26,510 --> 02:00:29,221
- And then the crews worked very hard.
- 2092
- 02:00:31,390 --> 02:00:34,435
- There's a lot of pride in the film industry.
- 2093
- 02:00:34,518 --> 02:00:39,356
- Everybody loves what they do,
- and they struggle hard to work in it.
- 2094
- 02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:41,692
- And it's nice to have
- all these people working,
- 2095
- 02:00:45,362 --> 02:00:49,742
- and it's paying a lot of good,
- talented people and creating good jobs,
- 2096
- 02:00:49,825 --> 02:00:52,411
- and that's something that,
- sometimes, I think, gets lost.
- 2097
- 02:00:52,495 --> 02:00:54,264
- You don't think about it,
- but you look at these credits,
- 2098
- 02:00:54,288 --> 02:00:57,416
- it's like the ridiculousness
- of how long it is,
- 2099
- 02:00:57,500 --> 02:01:01,921
- now I actually take pride in it.
- So, sorry if you have to sit through it
- 2100
- 02:01:02,004 --> 02:01:06,884
- to get to your scene at the end
- and you did in the theater,
- 2101
- 02:01:06,967 --> 02:01:09,512
- but these people all worked very hard,
- 2102
- 02:01:09,595 --> 02:01:14,141
- especially this whole crowd here,
- this vis effects crowd.
- 2103
- 02:01:14,225 --> 02:01:17,228
- Some of those people,
- it's like working in salt mines, man.
- 2104
- 02:01:17,311 --> 02:01:18,646
- It's a lot of thankless jobs,
- 2105
- 02:01:18,729 --> 02:01:22,191
- a lot of thankless gigs
- in that end of the credit roll.
- 2106
- 02:01:22,274 --> 02:01:24,944
- We just passed by
- Make Way For Tomorrow Today.
- 2107
- 02:01:25,027 --> 02:01:27,863
- That's Dick Sherman.
- 2108
- 02:01:29,281 --> 02:01:33,410
- He's the guy who wrote
- all the music for the Disney pavilions,
- 2109
- 02:01:33,494 --> 02:01:37,665
- and Kevin Feige
- put me in contact with him.
- 2110
- 02:01:37,748 --> 02:01:41,794
- He had contacted him to write a theme
- for not just this film,
- 2111
- 02:01:41,877 --> 02:01:44,296
- because the Stark Expo
- was gonna be something in history
- 2112
- 02:01:44,380 --> 02:01:47,091
- and that goes back to Captain America.
- 2113
- 02:01:47,216 --> 02:01:51,554
- So, we wanted to come up
- with something that felt authentic.
- 2114
- 02:01:51,637 --> 02:01:53,764
- I think the lyrics are great.
- 2115
- 02:01:53,889 --> 02:01:55,849
- He wrote It's a Small World.
- 2116
- 02:01:55,933 --> 02:02:02,481
- He wrote all the lyrics
- to a lot of the movies you saw,
- 2117
- 02:02:02,565 --> 02:02:05,484
- Mary Poppins and stuff,
- and he's a great dude.
- 2118
- 02:02:05,568 --> 02:02:08,696
- And I think
- there's a featurette about him.
- 2119
- 02:02:08,779 --> 02:02:13,117
- But he added so much authenticity
- to the whole Disney spirit of the...
- 2120
- 02:02:13,242 --> 02:02:15,828
- And this is all before
- Disney bought the movie, by the way.
- 2121
- 02:02:15,911 --> 02:02:18,622
- I didn't even know
- Disney was looking into the company.
- 2122
- 02:02:18,747 --> 02:02:20,541
- This all came long before Disney.
- 2123
- 02:02:20,624 --> 02:02:24,545
- And so it all sort of felt really cool
- that it all came together in that way.
- 2124
- 02:02:24,628 --> 02:02:26,130
- There's Tom Morello.
- 2125
- 02:02:26,255 --> 02:02:29,883
- Tom Morello, guitar player,
- Rage Against the Machine,
- 2126
- 02:02:29,967 --> 02:02:31,927
- Audioslave.
- 2127
- 02:02:32,469 --> 02:02:34,763
- Iron Man fan from way back.
- 2128
- 02:02:35,931 --> 02:02:39,268
- Played on the first soundtrack,
- and here he is.
- 2129
- 02:02:40,352 --> 02:02:45,941
- This part of the music is from
- Black Widow fighting in the hallways.
- 2130
- 02:02:46,025 --> 02:02:47,836
- Once you peel the sound effects back,
- you hear this.
- 2131
- 02:02:47,860 --> 02:02:51,655
- There it goes, "In memory of
- Adam Goldstein" with the little "AM."
- 2132
- 02:02:52,031 --> 02:02:56,952
- I like the little AC/DC thing in there,
- lightning bolt.
- 2133
- 02:03:15,512 --> 02:03:17,139
- And here we go.
- 2134
- 02:03:17,514 --> 02:03:18,974
- This is called "the graveyard."
- 2135
- 02:03:19,058 --> 02:03:21,644
- They call this part "the graveyard,"
- for you film fans.
- 2136
- 02:03:21,727 --> 02:03:23,997
- When you get up to this part
- where they have all the logos,
- 2137
- 02:03:24,021 --> 02:03:27,066
- it means the credits are almost done.
- 2138
- 02:03:27,149 --> 02:03:28,859
- The cemetery.
- 2139
- 02:03:29,276 --> 02:03:31,445
- And there it is. That's the insider's...
- 2140
- 02:03:32,196 --> 02:03:36,825
- Now here we go into the bonus scene
- 2141
- 02:03:36,950 --> 02:03:41,664
- that was not included
- in the pre-release film
- 2142
- 02:03:42,706 --> 02:03:47,503
- as to take the fanboys off the scent
- for yet another week,
- 2143
- 02:03:47,628 --> 02:03:49,213
- 'cause it's so hard to keep a secret.
- 2144
- 02:03:49,338 --> 02:03:53,175
- This was actually shot...
- This was from the set of Thor.
- 2145
- 02:03:53,300 --> 02:03:57,304
- This is from Thor.
- Am I supposed to say that? I think I can.
- 2146
- 02:03:57,388 --> 02:04:00,683
- Not this shot, but there you go,
- Land of Enchantment, New Mexico.
- 2147
- 02:04:00,808 --> 02:04:03,203
- This is actually part...
- You're actually not just seeing a teaser,
- 2148
- 02:04:03,227 --> 02:04:06,021
- you are seeing part of the next movie.
- 2149
- 02:04:06,146 --> 02:04:11,568
- And it is shot... Because
- they're artists over there on Thor.
- 2150
- 02:04:11,694 --> 02:04:14,321
- This is shot with anamorphic lenses.
- 2151
- 02:04:14,405 --> 02:04:17,533
- And there is
- where the hammer lands in the desert.
- 2152
- 02:04:17,658 --> 02:04:18,867
- There's Coulson.
- 2153
- 02:04:21,245 --> 02:04:23,080
- And there it is, baby.
- 2154
- 02:04:23,872 --> 02:04:26,375
- All right? What more do you want?
- 2155
- 02:04:28,001 --> 02:04:29,128
- What more do you want?
- 2156
- 02:04:29,211 --> 02:04:31,422
- You got your money's worth.
- And goodbye.
