Sam Rockwell recently talked with Shortlist.com. He had plenty to say about how he started in commercials and the path his career has taken up to this point. He also had some things to say about the upcoming
Cowboys and Aliens. This from Shortlist.com... So now you’re in Cowboys And Aliens — how’s that looking? Let me tell you, this is going to be a fun movie. I think we pulled it off; it’s a mix of genres. I think because of the title people think it’s a comedy, and it’s not — it’s like Unforgiven meets Close Encounters. Oh that old cliché… Yeah, that old cliché. I don’t think it’s really been done before, the only thing I liken it to is a movie like From Dusk Till Dawn — it seems all very ‘cops and robbers’ and all of a sudden there’s vampires. It’s like that, in that you have a very formulaic western and then all of a sudden there are monsters. It’s played very real. How was it working with Harrison Ford on it? He’s amazing. He flew us in his helicopter. Han Solo flying us around. He’s a great pilot — those air traffic control guys know exactly who they’re talking to. He’s as cool as a cucumber. What’s it like when Indiana Jones takes you up in a helicopter? It’s cool, man. We almost went up in a storm, but we decided not to. I was arguing against it — I was like [my character] Guy Fleegman in Galaxy Quest, “I don’t think we should go, I don’t think we should go, let’s wait until the storm goes away...” Harrison just looked up wisely and said, “Let’s drive.” Hawksblueyes: Click on the link below to read this interview in it's entirety.
