00:00:40 32	Sound bite: Jason Statham – On what the movie’s about This is a movie about, if I’m talking from my perspective, it’s a movie about a cop, you know, he’s a renegade kind of guy who loses his partner to a crazy assassin, and he tries to I mean, he gets his family killed, you know, his daughter it’s actually a massacre, and he becomes obsessed with trying to catch the guy who did, you know, this terrible deed. And doing so, he becomes obsessed to the point that it destroys his own life, and the only way he can sort of regain his sort of his comfort and get his life back, is somehow try to get the guy that you know, that committed the act, so that’s pretty much it in a very small nutshell.
00:01:30 82	Sound bite: Jason Statham – on stunts Yeah, um, you could call it silly or stupid but there’s variations upon all that as well, but you know, I get a big thrill out of doing my own stunts, and I think there’s a lot to be said about shooting great actions through the camera, and I think a lot of the action movies today rely so much on post production and cgi that you kind of know that a lot of things that you see enhanced, or in my opinion de destructed by CG work and I mean, you can tell if the stunt is for real and you know, I’m inspired by a lot of the old stunts, you know the real stunts that come out of the box and get stuck and undo, so I think we try to keep a lot of the stuff that I do to give as much reality as we can, you know?
00:02:48 160	Sound bite: Jason Statham – On the director Yeah, you know, we got one of my very good friends Corey Yuen who’s directed both the transporter movies for me and he’s done a lot of movies with Jet as well so we got a great sort of a football team to work with. And you know, there’s a great comfort to be had with someone that you know and know how they work and speed things up, and you know what, Corey know what my strengths are and he certainly knows what Jet’s are, and um, we can, you know, use that to our advantage and put everything in place.
00:03:30 202	Sound bite: Jason Statham Well he brings his own sort of gravitas, you know, he’s um someone that I’ve been inspired for many years, I mean, you know, I was watching Jet’s movies before I was in the movie game and for me to come toe to toe with someone that stature is phenomenal so you gotta bring your best kick to the show and hopefully I’ve done that we’ll see.
00:04:06 238	Sound Bite: Eli Roth Talks about how disturbing Hostel 1 and 2 are.
00:05:04 296	Sound Bite: Eli Roth Oh its great I feel like the luckiest director on the planet I mean before I started working with Quentin I worked with David Lynch for a long time and I learned so much from David he was so supportive and then I made Cabin Fever and Quentin its never like work its literally like you’re hanging out and making a movie with your friends. I mean Quentin is so encouraging he makes you feel such confidence and so good about what you’re doing and that sometimes is exactly what you need, just someone saying you’re doing great your heading in the right direction. And he’s such a, if I’m ever having story problems there’s few people that could better help me out with them then Quentin he’s an amazing story teller. And right before I shot Hostel 2 he put me in Grindhouse as an actor, I’m not an actor and he said no, do it, do it., best thing I ever did. It was like a massive class of directing and it was fun and he gave me a part he knew I could handle and right before I shot it I got this amazing crash course in Tarantino 101.
00:06:22 374	Sound Bite: Tobin Bell I came down to present an award to Mark Berg and Lauren ? who are the Producers of Saw and who have guided through from Saw 1 to where we are about to begin Saw 3 so that’s quite an accomplishment. So that’s why I came and it gives me an opportunity to talk to you and also I always find it fascinating to meet the other, the business is made up of so many different kinds of components and actors don’t always have the opportunity to met distributors and to meet theatre owners and that type of thing, so it’s always revealing to have that opportunity, you know. I just spent 2 days in Philadelphia talking to Saw fans, people who love horror films, they came from 46 different states, so to actually experience the fans is quite an experience.
00:07:40 452	Sound Bite: Tobin Bell No, it was interesting to me because there are three people locked in the room, that’s not a very, that’s a very different approach to a film. So, I was one of the three people in it, and though I didn’t speak much in it, I was still a very powerful force and as it plays out, Jigsaw becomes something that we didn’t expect. No, I didn’t think that after we finished the film that it was going to be anything more than a wonderful thriller. When it was as successful as it was, I was pleased, I was more pleased when they wanted to make Saw II, and try to show more of Jigsaw’s story and try to show more of what’s on his mind. It’s crazy, you know, but happy crazy.
00:09:02 534	Sound Bite: Evan Ross Talks about working with Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac.
00:09:30 562	Sound Bite: Evan Ross Talks about the film’s premise.
00:10:13 605	Sound Bite: Evan Ross On what the Terrence Howard and Bernie Mac taught him.
00:11:18 670	Sound Bite: Mark Burg & Oren Koules – producers of Saw - on exhibitors Oren - Well, for us, we have a lot of pride because before there was a Saw and a bandwagon, the exhibitors put us in 2000 screens and you don’t hear that of a million dollar movie very often. So, we owe them, they don’t owe us, we owe them because without them, we wouldn’t be here. Mark – Yeah, we just, we’re really appreciative of the way the exhibitors and the fans have embraced our movies.
00:12:00 712	Sound Bite: Mark Burg & Oren Koules – producers of Saw – on their success Oren - We knew, honest to God, we knew we had something special, we knew we had an ending that blew people’s mind, but could we have predicted this? No. But we knew we had something special, we put our own money in it, we didn’t go to the bank, Mark and I put out of our savings and we only would have done that if we thought it was a special project. Mark – One thing I will say is, had I known the way it would have taken off the Saw franchise, I definitely wouldn’t have created a killer that’s terminally ill , and that we kill in Saw Three, but yet we managed to keep the franchise going with Saw Four.
00:12:44 756	Sound Bite: Mark Burg & Oren Koules – producers of Saw Oren – By planning, and I just said, there’s four five scenes in three, that come back to play in Four, and now we’re shooting Four, as we start shooting in six weeks- Mark – There are clues in Saw III, that until you see Saw IV, and you flash back to Saw III nobody realizes what’s already there. Oren – They were really benign scenes that didn’t mean much and all of a sudden people are going to be like “No”. Mark – it’s gonna be fun, I’m excited.
00:13:21 793	B-roll: Larry the Cable guy.
00:16:59 1011	Sound Bite: Larry the Cable guy Let me tell you something, anything I can do to help, I mean I can’t fight I’m too fat plus I’m not in the military so that leaves me out. But it’s really cool when you get emails and letters and cards and the guys saying hey, we were out on patrol and when we come back, we listen to your stuff and we laugh and it kind of takes away the pressure of everyday life and I mean, that’s cool, that’s what it’s all about, I mean, you never know how much your stuff affects people until they send you stuff like that and I get tons of things letters and emails from the troops saying hey thanks for your humor, we really enjoy it and so, that’s what keeps you going, you know, I mean, that’s that’s what’s cool about it. This movie Delta Farce hopefully will do the same thing, I mean, we figured we’d do a funny military movie about these three goobers that shouldn’t even be in the- it’s like three stooges meets platoon you know. And so these guys think that they’re in Iraq but they’re in Mexico the whole time. We’re not trying to make any political statements, we’re just, you know, we just wanna make a movie that people can go and sit down and laugh at. And that’s what we did, so I think people will really like it. Yeah, thanks, Get ‘er done.
00:18:50 1122	Dane Cook and Larry the cable guy interact (funny).
00:19:07 1139	Sound Bite: Dane Cook Get that man some sleeves. Yeah, it’s been ridiculous, it’s just been the best kind of overwhelming that you could ask for, you know, a long road of stand up comedy with intentions and hopes to bring my fan base into film, guys I wanted to emulate, so yeah, I don’t wanna pinch myself because God forbid I wake up.
00:19:37 1169	Sound Bite: Dane Cook Sure, I think it’s the one thing that I found over the years is that the approach is the same, it’s about committing and it’s about being fearless, you know, you have to find that being in the cusp of it always in stand up comedy, but when you’re surrounded and collaborating with Kevin Costner, Demi Moore and William Hurt, you really just follow them and stay their course, I learned a tremendous amount that I’ll take with me always. But then again, when I did comedy and worked with Betty White years ago in a sitcom, I watched her and I said okay, this is the woman to watch because she’s the best at what she does. I’m fortunate to have worked with the best in delivering great films, so Mr. Brooks is fantastic.
00:20:23 1215	Sound Bite: Dane Cook Ah yeah, my first show west so yes, being a show west virgin and then a breakthrough performer it’s uh, it’s what can I say it’s humbling and insane at the same time, I wanna go play black jack I feel so lucky, I’m gonna win.
00:20:40 1232	B-roll: Popcorn stand. Sony stand. Flavor Fusion. Trucks and cars. Transformers posters. Other cars. Some chairs. Popcorn bags.
00:25:33 1525	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman Well, 3D is here, that is the message here at ShoWest uh in the exhibit area, we’re seeing a lot of introduction for digital cinema technology and 3D is seen as the killer out for digital cinema. So, among the things we’re seeing is a new chip from Texas instruments that’s going to be working with all of well not all but many of the cinema projectors (Talks) As a result we’re seeing Texas Instruments introducing their new DLP cinema chip, we’re also seeing Sony introduce two new 4k digital cinema projectors, we’re seeing Dolby introducing their new 3D system, these are among other announcements that the technology manufactures are introducing to the market this week at ShoWest.
00:26:30 1582	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman There are a number of things driving the move to 3D, among them is the technology for home entertainment is becoming much more sophisticated, and the theatre owners are realizing that they need to have an image and an experience to differentiate themselves from the home experience, they’re also realizing that they’re seeing increased competition from the internet, from ipods and from all sorts of new media opportunities so the competition is stiff, and this is the differentiator. There are also small factors that are considered, for example, the studios see 3D as maybe an opportunity to combat piracy, and have you pirate 3D films. And for the exhibitors is also a new revenue stream, they’re finding that they can charge a little more and the theatre goers are excited, they wanna come and see and have this experience. (Talks) Another thing that’s really exciting in the community about 3D is the opportunity for alternative content, and we’re seeing a little bit of that at ShoWest as well, today, sony with their production system demonstrated some project which they did last month which was essentially a 3D presentation of the NBA all star game, which was shown here in Vegas using a face technology called Fusion and you know, they talked about how that really excited audiences and that they believe that there’s more opportunities in sports tomorrow there’s going to be another presentation, we’re going to see a U2 concert in 3D which is actually going to be released later this year. They’re also plans for national geographic programming to be available in digital cinema content uh theatres later this year. So, again, we’re seeing a lot of opportunities, new opportunities that in addition to regular films, and also not just new films, but old films, last year we saw the nightmare before Christmas come out on re-release and it did phenomenally well, so there’s a lot of opportunities here and we’ve probably just begun to scratch the surface on what’s possible.
00:29:30 1762	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman In addition to thinking about exhibiting 3D, they’re also thinking about producing for 3D like Meet the Robinsons was produced in 3D and we’re going to see a lot more of that and DreamWorks just announced this week that they’re going, beginning in 2009, be producing all of their animated films in 3D, again, that’s another example of the interest in the production community. But there are also opportunities to go back and technologies are being developed so that producers can go back and take content that was created for 2D and convert it for the 3D experience so if the audiences are interested and if the audiences have this desire, the ability to create content and offer content is there.
00:30:35 1827	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman Again, 3D is considered the killer op for digital cinema, but the bigger picture is that we’re seeing movement toward digital theatres throughout the United States and throughout the world. What we’re seeing here is movement in the deployment and more sophisticated deals actually, at this point we have about 2,200 digital cinema screens available in the United States, at this time last year there were about 400 so it’s starting, it’s picking up and that’s another big discussion here this week.
00:31:47 1899	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman Well, proponents of digital cinema will say that one of the advantages is that the image quality will be the same whether you view it for the first time or the 500th time and those proponents will also point out that film, as it runs for a few weeks, you begin to see some scratches, some blemishes in the film, and again that’s viewed as one of the advantages that they’re promoting.
00:32:26 1938	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman So, the other aspect of 3D is as you know, march 30th we’re seeing the release of a 3D version of Meet the Robinsons from Disney, and right there is a race to deploy more 3D systems around the country because the aim is to have 650 screens ready to go to show 3D content to audiences on that airdate. That’s quite a big jump in the past 18 months really, when chicken little was shown in November of 2005 there were only 84 screens available. So, again, as the content becomes available, we’re seeing an increase in the number of available screens.
00:33:15 1987	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman Well we’re going to be seeing different types of glasses, and they’re not the cheap paper glasses that you see, um you will be seeing more sophisticated glasses that are more sturdy and are said to be (Talks)
00:34:00 2032	Sound Bite: buck tooth woman The technology is more sophisticated and the glasses are more sophisticated, the aim to make it more comfortable for viewers and make it a more comfortable experience overall for viewers and when Meet the Robinsons comes out, we’ll see how audiences respond.
00:34:35 2067	Sound Bite: Crazy looking guy What we’re offering is a second generation of 4K SXRD of cinema digital projection. Over the last three years we worked on the first generation, the R100 series as we refer to it, but the R200 that we are just introducing this year is designed with the input of the industry, it’s built to DCI’s specification, and it is basically targeted specifically for theatrical qualifications.
00:35:27 2119	Sound Bite: Crazy looking guy Dramatic improvement, um it’s well known, home entertainment system and its quality has just gotten tremendous, blue ray, Bravia TVs, XSRDs home TVs, um the visual excitement that you can get out of your home theatre system now is really quite stunning. We needed to, the entire industry needed to make a greater differentiation between what you could get in at home and what you can get in the theatre, 35mm has done a great job for 100 years, that time has passed, we need to raise the level, bring the roof up some more, that’s what we’re doing with 4K.
00:36:30 2182	Sound Bite: Crazy looking guy Well, let’s talk first about 3D as a whole, 3D is the great differentiator between the home and the theatre, you can only get it in the theatre, and it is truly a dynamic experience, even with the existing systems. It’s gone from gimmickry of the early 50s where the monster would lunge off the screen just for the sake of effect, it’s gone from that to very creative, deliberately artistic content creation combined with this new technology of the delivering systems through digital, so the improvement, the experience of the improvement. I’m sorry. The improved experience for the moviegoer is undeniable, what is now being used as a single projector system with DLP, quite successfully, I think they’re close to 400 screens in the United States this year, that will easily double over the next year, in fact on the ratio basis of growth, 3D digital screens are expanding much more rapidly than per se standard digital screens. What Sony is doing right now is presenting a dual projection system, um between the effect of higher resolution of 4K plus the added brightness of the essentially 20,000 lumens of light, we’re able to present an image that, it gives you better than the best seat in town. About a month ago, we partnered with Pace production company from Burbank, very well known for the 3D imaging work in motion pictures and the National Basketball association to shoot, distribute, and exhibit the NBA 2007 all star game in high definition 3D, and it proved to be wildly successful. This actually addresses more the alternate content part of the movie going experience, which the industry is really looking forward to expand that application. Up to this point, 3D movies, tremendous, now we’re moving into sports, live entertainment with 3D.
00:39:09 2341	Sound Bite: Crazy looking guy Recently, the New York metropolitan opera did a distribution of its opera series to I’m going to say was about 60 theatres across the United States in 2D. This programming was presented on Saturday afternoons, sold out audiences at every theatre, it was wildly popular. The idea of 3D kind of automatically goes to a rock concert because it’s such a dynamic thing, but the Metropolitan opera in 3D on a Sunday afternoon would have equal brilliance on the screen.
