- Description:12:15:08 - A01. HRN-2954 In: 12.15.08 Out: 12.15.19 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky Yeah absolutely you know it was a small film and its just amazing how uhm you know people are reacting to it and its exciting. 12:15:37 - A02. HRN-2954 In: 12.15.37 Out: 12.15.55 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky Yeah but ultimately my job, I mean theres other parts of the job that change but my job on the set ends up being very similar. You know you got the same, you got the same limits on money, you go the same limits on time, you got the same limits on creative bandwidth and you just try to do the best work you can. 12:15:57 - A03. HRN-2954 In: 12.15.57 Out: 12.16.56 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky No he was an idea early on but you know, uh it didnt really cement till we met and when I met with him and sat with him and you sort of see all that armor and then you look into his eyes and then you see the fire burning you know you see all that kind of force pulling you in uhm it just was a no brainier at that point (talks) yeah hes completely myst- I mean hes a very unique individual theres just no one like him you know and how, doing this film you know along the path I ran into Benicio Del Toro, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, they all look up to Mickey because when they were coming into the business he was the man and and he just hasnt lost it, he still has it. He just hasnt had the opportunity to do the work and so finally in this film hes very sympathetic and I think uhm I think its exciting for all us Mickey Rourke Fans. 12:17:04 - A04. HRN-2954 In: 12.17.04 Out: 12.17.21 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky Well it took him 6 months uhm lifting twice a day, 5000 calories a day to put on those 35 pounds of muscle and three and a half months of uh hour a day wrestling practice so he broke his but to get it done. 12:17:30 - A05. HRN-2954 In: 12.17.30 Out: 12.17.49 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky Yeah I think so, I think well I think if if if he wants to he does. I think he has so much talent that its very easy to coast through things so you gotta get him at the right, for the right project and then you have to really inspire him to go for it. 12:17:56 - A06. HRN-2954 In: 12.17.56 Out: 12.18.23 Sound Bite: Darren Aronofsky No I think uhm, I think every project he does at this point he wants to do uhm but I still think no matter what you gotta push him a little bit cause it comes too easy for him. Hes very talented and doesnt have to work that hard and so you know hes a bit of a lazy bone and so you just gotta, you just gotta inspire him and once you do he just, he, between action and cu theres no one better.
