- Summary: Nims Island Premiere: Nims Island Red Carpet Premiere Tape #2
- Description:02:00:11 - Soundbite 02:03:12 - B-Roll: Abegail Breslin working the line talking with reporters. 02:04:23 - Sound Bite: Paula Mazur (Writer, Producer) Paula: I have to say I thought that they were the right people to do this movie, but I did have some nail biting moments wondering who do I talk what if they disagree with each other, it didnt work that way, they are a very unified brain, its like they are one mind and I loved working with them it was a three way collaboration, they were great partners, they would finish each others sentence, they had different strengths, Mark was more technical, Jenn was more the aesetatician of the two. But they are very capable Directors and it was like you got two for the price of one. 02:05:22 - Sound Bite: Paula Mazur (Writer, Producer) Paula: When I got Nims Island it was one of those enviable positions, that everybody wanted it, all the studios were interested and Walden was as well, I decided to go with Walden Media because I really like the educational tie in of it. They have a tremendous respect for books and how these movies can be marketed beyond the usual Hollywood way, but to involve schools and libraries and this was a book, a beautiful book written by Wendy Orr, that was really important to me and they are also a small can do company, its that type of a film, it really match my own philosophy of film making. I have to say Walden was completely on board for this film, so supportive and really committed to the making of it. 02:06:24 - Sound Bite: Paula Mazur (Writer, Producer) Paula: There is absolutely no question in my mind if I had to go live on a deserted island it would have to be a computer, but you need a solar panel to make sure you could plug it in. So could I have two piece a solar panel and a computer? 02:08:16 - B-Roll: Abegail Breslin working the line talking with reporters, again. 02:09:30 - Sound Bite: Abegail Breslin Abegail: It was really fun I got to like swim and ride on sea lions and run it was really fun. 02:09:47 - B-Roll: Gerard Butler talking to reporters 02:10:59 - B-Roll: Jodi arrives and talks to reporters 02:11:45 - ***Kid sound bite for Brooks Sound Bite: Jansen Panettiere Jansen: Oh save the whales, save the whales and really try to be much greener than what we have been doing. 02:12:08 - B-Roll: Jodie gets closer and still is talking to reporters 02:12:47 - Sound Bite: Gerard Butler Gerard: On this location it, it was absolutely fantastic, I had the time of my life. No the location was great, no really, we spent a lot of time on a studio floor as well and then we were out at sea that wasnt so much fun cause a couple of times I thought I was going to go under the tug and it was pretty dangerous and it was cold and it was the winter in Australia, but then we went to the location and I swear if they left me there I would still be there now, like nine months later it was so beautiful I loved it, you know you go there and think, I hope that what a lot of people get out of this film they see that and go and discover nature, I want to go and be inspired I want to go and spend some time on your own and discover yourself. 02:13:38 - Sound Bite: Gerard Butler Gerard: The biggest challenges was probably all the stuff I had to do in the water, I spent a lot time in cold, wet, soaking, wet clothes, dripping, because I had to be soaking wet, and you would have to spend the whole day like that and it was really, really miserable and then you would take them off and you would have to put them back in the sea, I didnt like, I might be from Scotland, but I didnt like it. 02:14:07 - Sound Bite: Gerard Butler Gerard: No, you know what, thats why I did the film, thats probably the main reason why I did the film was that I was going to be working with Jody Foster and Abegail Breslin. Abegail was like a younger version of Jodie so how could I have said no to that. You know what I learned a lot by working with both of them. 02:15:53 - Sound Bite: Jodie Foster Jodie: Certainly I grew up in front of the camera just like Abigail did so the lifestyle is very similar but she was this wealth of emotion that I really didnt have access to at her age. I didnt really understand it all I dont think I really got what it was to find the dramatic acting until I was in my late 20s. So its great just watching somebody who is a born actress. 02:16:22 - Sound Bite: Jodie Foster Jodie: You know theres a very simple lesson in the movie, and of course the movie is a lot of fun and theres a great story line to it. Is that you can take of yourself and it doesnt take robotics and laser beams in order to be the hero of your own life story. Partly especially empowering for young girls, who are in some ways are told they cant take care of themselves. You know she cooks for herself; she just got a tool belt, she fixes the satellite dish, she finds the coconut tree, when something doesnt go the right way she comes up with something else, invents some other thing to fix stuff, and I think that kind of ingenuity that kind of self ingenuity is a great piece of confidence for real people to have. 02:17:05 - Sound Bite: Jodie Foster Jodie: I dont think am very much like Alexander Rover. No am, I do like going out there, I do like climbing mountains, you know I like being sporty, but I like my solitary creative life, I do like that, so that probably similar to her. 02:17:24 - **SAG bite for Brooks Sound Bite: Jodie Foster Jodie: Well I dont remember getting my SAG, I was 3 yrs old when I got my SAG card, so I dont remembert getting my SAG card at 3. I do remember however you used to have to line up for unemployment in Hollywood and you would meet every actor you knew, cause we were all hanging out lining up for unemployment but I was a kid and I had to go to school so I used to get to go to the front of the line and they used to give you cash, that I remember, because that was a real SAG experience, cause we all would say, hey I hear a new Scorsese movie is shooting in Arizona, you know it was like a whole kind of networking thing that was goin on over there at the unemployment line in Hollywood.
