Thanks to links from Ivani and Luana at Orkut, I've fetched a couple of videos from AGY promo time in France.  These are similar to ones we've seen before, but a couple of new things!

I've rendered the Larry King Live ABM promo interview with Russell & Ron.  This has been available before, but I was able to retain the 640x480 window size without sacrificing too much bit rate (for non-puter peeps that means bigger frame size than you've seen before with only a little fuzziness) (only one format, five files though).  I've also rendered the Leno Harley-Davidson bike signing, which I understand is a favourite so thought again, the bigger window size would be worth the rendering project (this is in two formats).  Due to it coming from VHS, I'm afraid the file sizes are the best I can do and still provide the larger frame size so my apologies to the dial-up peeps and hope you can set your machines for overnight downloading.

Transcript:

1) Video starts with the presentation of scenes and the characters of the movie, until 01:14min.

2) At 01:16min Maria Cândido says, before asking Ridley: "When we join 2 Oscar winners actors, an excellent director, a great script, of course, we have a wonderful movie."

3) At 01:25 min she comments/asks Ridley: "Directing 2 excellent actors is not always easy, sometimes there is a lot of vanity in things like this, I asked Ridley the differences between Denzel and Russell. Ridley answers both Russell and Denzel are much alike if we compare the quality, the capacity, the intelligence, the sensitivity and the preparation for the role."

4) At 2 min, Russell and Denzel profiles were described, but she did a mistake saying that Russell got 2 Oscars.

5) At 03:27 min, when they are preparing themselves for the interview, she comments: "Before the lights, cameras and action, a little of make up ….. for them, not for me." In this moment, she presents herself, they shake hands and change kisses in the face, and she says: "One kiss, no ... 2 kisses from each one, and coming from 2 actors who always tops the lists of the most sexiest and exuberant of Hollywood, it's to lose the concentration, you know…"

6) At 04:01min, Maria Cândido goes on with some magazine covers and scenes of their movies in the screen: "But they weren't that beautiful. Will be that these pictures in the gallery, 'Will my past condemn me?'. But this retro visual is a page already read/seen. An American magazine has done a research : Which body part of your fav celebrity you would chose? Guess what the answer for Russell and Denzel: For Russell – the chest. For Denzel the legs. Well, I think the female unconscious had already Gladiator in mind that gave the first Oscar for Russell, and Hurricane that gave Denzel the Oscar of best actor. But Denzel who has an enviable physical/shape was caught this week. He is the newest to be observed in the fight against the weighing-machine. Celebrity life is not that easy. But much aside of chest and legs, they are brain, ability/skill and talent. Years of hard working, my friends."

7) At 05:04 Maria Cândido shows her "big fan portion side", she is a big fan of Russell and Denzel, and asked Russell to describe Denzel on and off the set, and the same for Denzel about Russell. Russell says, he never saw Denzel in a take unprepared. When they say, "action", he is the most serious of all of them. The scene flows, nothing makes him lose concentration. He is always questioning, in a positive way. Russell goes on: Off set, he is always joking/playing, and what he admires most is the way Denzel leads his private life, besides all the pressure on him as a celebrity, Denzel is discreet, living outside of gossip, he has an exemplar attitude. Russell says he learns with him and both joke/play with that (scene of them laughing). Denzel says that working with Russell is a big opportunity of working with one of the best actors of his generation. It's easy, things flow well, there is a chemistry. Maria Cândido comments that the empathy is that so much that they tell joking/playing a passage of the set of the movie. They remember that the crew was very tense before the beginning of filming. By being 2 famous actors, pay attention to the way they are speaking, as in Hollywood the vanity reigns in general, the crew thought they wouldn't get along well and the environment could be difficult between the 2 of them. But Russell and Denzel "backstage" laughed a lot at all that. Russell impersonates the face of astonishment/surprise of the crew after the first take, that it was wonderful, because actually, according to them, they are only 2 good actors working together, and the tension was created because of the big expectations. To finish the video, she asks: "Do you know how much each one got to work for the movie; they were 9 weeks and one million dollars a day." Final credits.
