- Summary: Will Ferrell: "Stranger than Fiction" Junket Will Ferrell Interview
- Description:05:22:30 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell I go visit other junkets Im supposed to head over to Dj vu after this, Im interviewing Denzel (talks) this will air on erm in my living room. (talks) No Ive been negligent I should go by and say hi to Jack and Kyle cause there in the building or they were yesterday I dont think there hear today. 05:23:15 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell Yeah its you know its to say Im like Harold Crick wouldnt be totally accurate but I am you know Im defiantly not a comedian thats on all the time and I do have my kind of quiet moments of concentration and thats Harold Cricks whole life is someone who lives, has everything planned out by the second and while I dont do that I do, you know Im not out there kind of going look at me so there are some similarities. 05:23:58 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell No exactly thats a kind of conventional wisdom behind that but this was I think just such a wonderful opportunity for a totally different type of movie and its head kind of just popped up and I jumped at the chance to be a part of it. But it wasnt you know, I havent been searching for the right kind of little more serious type of project you know that type of thing. 05:24:49 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell Absolutely you know its and its kind of, it was so great to get to work with people that you admire to begin with and also to find out that there really fun and interesting people and Mark Forest is a director that I really look up to and so it was kind of all the elements together in a kind of perfect storm of a film that Im really proud of. 05:25:33 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell Yeah it was such a unique story that I felt like I hadnt really seen this type of movie before or this story told in such a way and I was, I hadnt read a script that I found as interesting and as funny but also moved me to the point to where I literally was kind of you know brought to tears by the end, by the time I read the end of it and I havent read anything like that before so it was the, it was pretty unique. 05:26:01 - Sound Bite: Will Ferrell Im getting a sense of it yeah (talks) No it was, I mean thats really flattering. I mean it was kind of a magical screening that night at the film festival and like you know they totally keyed into a movie that was in such a way that it was, and it was the first time the cast had gotten to see the movie together and Emma Thompson turned to me and said who knew who knew that it would work on so many different levels and thats what thats the best way to describe this film that theres something for everyone and its just you know its a comedy, its a drama, its everything but its also just a great movie.
