- Description:11:34:26 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany family film? Well I dont know whether its, its a family film, Secret Life of Bees, I suppose, Im not sure if its a kids movie. Um but this is and I wanted to make a film for my children and its strangely, the script turned out and it and my son who was 9 at the time was reading the book, so (talks) it was a coincidence and something that I capitalized on in quite a Machiavellian way in order to make him think I was really cool. 11:35:09 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany kids being motivation to make family film? I think that its sort of definitely true, you know Ive made very few films that I would let my children see so um so you know it was nice to be able to, Im going to take them to ? and its gonna be theyll finally understand what I do. 11:35:40 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany did the quality jump off the script Yes I think so in that it was sort of multilayered and uh sort of more ambiguous than they usually are, you know. I think that it was much more sort of complex um uh of childrens film than you usually see now. 11:36:04 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany such a thing as intelligent film for kids I think it is and I think that takes a, number one, children are sort of brighter than we give them credit for and able to hold contradictions and I also think that its important to make a film as a parent I find myself in movie theaters a lot, seeing a film for the 5th or 6th time and its important to make a film that the parents can actually watch and enjoy and get something from cause I have been that parent in that darkened cinema going, Oh God make it end. 11:36:51 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany did he learn to juggle Im quite good with my hands but um I picked it up, its called ?, in 8 weeks. Im sort of uh Im good at picking things up quickly like that. (talks) I think its a sort of lucky thing about ? is that its this once you get going the learning curve is very steep and you can learn it very quickly and once you then set fire to the object it looks beautiful. 11:37:30 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany Jennifers cameo Yes that came, because she was in Italy and they were about to leave, my family were about to leave and I was sort of dreading it, and then I thought, well why arent you, wait you should so we just put her in a dress and she spent an hour on set and we shot her. 11:37:49 - Sound Bite: Paul Bettany he and his family travel together? Yes, well we, yes, we try to. We spend as, weve never you know we have a rule that were never away from each other for longer than 2 weeks so without significant time together afterward and thats our rule.
