Moore: One of the things that was so great for me when I became an actor was being in a situation where suddenly I would be working with people who were my age, and people who were my parents’ age, and my grandparents’ age, and you felt everything collapse, because suddenly you were a peer with this person. I remember there was a day we were filming and there was an unbelievable amount of set up time, and we were just sitting there and Jeff was saying, “You were my apprentice in the movie, I think you should be my apprentice in real life, let’s talk about acting.”īridges: I remember my father and my brother, I guess they count as mentors, but my mom, too, she would give us some wonderful acting tips, and I was saying to Julie, the ages that you get to work with as actors, there are so many different ages! I thought some of my best mentors have been animals, dogs, and children! Babies! I remember the kid in Crazy Heart, so wonderful just to see how he did this thing, he had no expectations, not being results-oriented, you can learn that from a kid if you’re open to it. Can you talk about taking on these roles as mentors or leaders? How was it with Jeff being your mentor and your teacher?īarnes: Well, I can’t give the answer I usually give, because he’s sitting right next to me and it would seem somewhat ingratiating I think, but Jeff was the reason I wanted to do film in the first place, that’s not news to him, but I think he was unbelievably generous. Reporter: Another element of the film in Jeff’s case and Julianne’s case is you guys are kind of like the mentors.

And here we are, and all of our challenges, all of our dilemmas, can be wonderful lessons for us, teach us. So it’s kind of, you know, destiny I guess or fate in that here we are, and this comes out of–you know, the Big Bang happened, and that resulted in this happening. You know, you got the universe, right, you got all those black holes and the whole deal, all this stuff you don’t know about, but here we are, right, and somehow the universe has, we’ve come out of the universe, you know. I think sometimes a lot of what we want, we could say it was destiny in retrospect.īridges: If I can stumble into an answer, this is just my, as The Dude might say, it’s just my opinion, man. But in a way, I could reframe it now and say it was destiny. I always say to my children, I remember when I was ten years old, I said “I’m going to have two children, I’m going to have a boy and a girl.” And you know, I lined up my dolls and stuff like that, and I had this idea that I was going to have a little boy and a little girl, and I always say to them “look, I got what I wished for.” So I had a desire for something that I knew I wanted, but I do feel like it was lucky that it happened. Julianne Moore: Destiny and fate, I mean, that’s a tough one! I don’t know if I believe in destiny or fate or anything like that. Any of you guys want to go first on that one?īen Barnes: Nobody wants to go first on that one. How much has that played a role in your lives? Reporter: This film talks a lot about destiny and fate. That being said, it’s not the cast of Seventh Son‘s fault the movie is a stinker (for more on what stinks and who dealt it, look for our review tomorrow), and at a press junket for the film last Saturday, Extreme Good Sports Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore, and Ben Barnes were more than happy to talk about their experience working on what Bridges calls “the Big Lebowski prequel.” The film might never attain “ first edition of The Iliad “ levels of preposterousness, but that’s not necessarily to its credit as an audience member, I’d personally rather watch something irredeemably silly than a movie that alternates between being boring and offensive. Let’s get this out of the way– Seventh Son is an incoherent movie at best, and a racist one at worst.
