New Hamill Interview At AICN…

  • As mentioned earlier today, Mysterio’s run yet another of his on-set interviews from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. This one took place right around the time we were on set, back in February, during Mark Hamill’s few days on the film set. If you’ve watched the official trailer, or know the nature of Mark’s character, there’s no real spoilers inside, so read on as Mysterio talks to Hamill about his voiceover work, Star Wars, and, of course, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back. Here’s a preview:
“Describe your working relationship with Kevin and feelings on being a part of ‘JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK?”

I’m going to be very sorry when it’s over. I’m only in one scene, but I’m just having a blast and I didn’t know what to expect. You know I got kind of nervous because a lot of times I’ve met people that you say that maybe it’s better if I didn’t meet them. You know, “I like their act or whatever.” I’m not disparaging them, but I’m just saying the person doesn’t always match up with the image you have of what that person must be like. Whether it’s a musician, a comedian, an actor… or anything, the director’s the same. You know there’s a slight chance, “I’ve heard he’s a nice guy”, but there’s a chance of coming away less of a fan than I am now. In a way I’d like to keep it at arms distance.

…

With Kevin I’m just so amazed at how easy he is. Obviously, he’s such an original voice with no background in Hollywood whatsoever and to be that successful – is so encouraging for all of us who think that “Oh, it’s got to be like generations, who you know, who you’re married to and who your agent is.” I think it should be very encouraging to people with just raw talent. You know you can really connect and hit one out of the ballpark. And having said that, you come in and you think, “Well his scripts are pretty much gospel.” And yet, he’ll say “…and that’s when you come up and say that line. Do you like that line? How would you say it?” I’m shocked that he’s willing to be so collaborative. I think that’s just the mark of someone who’s really secure with what it is they want and who it is they are.
