Taraji P Henson - 'Sherry Parker' in The Karate Kid

Tackling a role in a movie that's part of a franchise that people love, do you feel a little extra weight bringing the series back to life?

Taraji P Henson: "No, not that I've seen it now. I didn't feel that way when I read the script. It all starts with the script and when I read the script I was like, 'Wow, this is an incredible remake. I want to be a part of it.'"

And I'm sure they jumped at the chance to have you as a part of it.

Taraji P Henson: "Yeah, and I didn't know that until we got to Beijing. I thought that I was going to have to fight for the role. And when I get to Beijing, Will and Jada and all the other producers are like, 'Oh my god, we can't believe we got you.' And I'm like [looking over her shoulder to see who they're talking about.]"

Of course they're like that.

Taraji P Henson: "'I would have paid you to be in this movie.'"

Because you have like 37 movies coming up.

Taraji P Henson: "Did you hear that? Where are the other 36?"

Being a single mom, did you really relate to this character?

Taraji P Henson: "Absolutely I related. And the script was just done with so much taste. Like you really get to see where this kid gets his 'get up and fight' from. You know, this woman loses her job, she's a single mother and she loses her job in Detroit and she gets a call to go to Beijing. She's got to do it; her back is against the wall, you know? And she's a fighter so therefore he's a fighter. They did it really well. I'm really proud."

And you bonded well with Jaden?

Taraji P Henson: "Very well. It was so easy. It's easy. He's such an outgoing personality so it was easy."

Video:The Karate Kid - Ralph Macchio and Arsenio Hall Interviews

The original Karate Kid, Ralph Macchio, showed up at the premiere of the 2010 version of 'The Karate Kid' to show his support for the new action film that features Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's son, Jaden, in the title role.See Transcript

Transcript:The Karate Kid - Ralph Macchio and Arsenio Hall Interviews

Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the LA premiere of Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid.

Ralph Macchio - The Original Karate Kid

Back when you made the movies there was no way you could have known these were going to stand the test of time. Why do you think they did?

Ralph Macchio: "I think the films, first of all, there's a beautifully crafted story. The characters, Mr Miyagi is just one of those magical film characters and Daniel Larusso was the 'every' kid. He was the boy next door. He was not very athletic. He didn't have any of that. And it's the human elements of a fatherless child with a single mother moving to a different place and having that guy, that human Yoda, to help him navigate adolescents. It's a beautiful story."

With all those movies, do you have a favorite memory of actually being on the set?

Ralph Macchio: "One of my favorite moments on the set was Pat Morita's beautiful what we call the 'Oscar nomination scene' where you learn of Miyagi's backstory, and Daniel Larusso puts him to bed. He becomes he mentor for him for a moment, and then takes that wisdom on and trains himself. Gets me every time."

Arsenio Hall

Arsenio Hall: "You know, there are times when I'm stuck for an answer with my child..."

Do you look at About.com?

Arsenio Hall: "And you bing!"

You're working on a lot of projects. What's coming up next?

Arsenio Hall: "I'm doing a bunch of stuff, but what I really... I have to plug one thing?"

Plug as many as you want.

Arsenio Hall: "You know what? I'm actually writing a book, and that's the most exciting thing to me because I get to interview people but nobody ever gets to know stuff about me. So I'm enjoying that opportunity."

So is the book going to be your life? What is it going to be?

Arsenio Hall: "Yeah, it's going to be a lot of advise about this town and my life, and hopefully a lot of stuff that people don't know, that you can't tell when it's going on. Every now and then, like a friend will pass, like the other day when Gary Coleman passed, you start thinking about this stuff. And I'm a vet now so it's time to reminisce and have that kind of fun."

I can't wait to read it. When's it going to be done?

Arsenio Hall: "I'm hoping eight months, but you know that's ambitious because there are times when you start writing and Househusbands of Hollywood is on and you have to stop for a minute. You know, like a minute being a month."

What else are you working on?

Arsenio Hall: "What else should we tell her about? You know it's called TV's Most Surprising Moments and it's a CBS vehicle about historic TV situations, and obviously my Bill Clinton moment ends up winning situations like that. So check it out on CBS. It's June the 16th. Les Moonves just shot something and hit me in the back of the neck."

Video:The Karate Kid - Will Smith, Harald Zwart Interviews

Will Smith didn't want to take the attention away from his son Jaden at the premiere of 'The Karate Kid,' so he let Jaden do all the talking for the family. But director Harald Zwart was definitely willing to chat up his film on the red carpet.See Transcript

Transcript:The Karate Kid - Will Smith, Harald Zwart Interviews

Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the LA premiere of Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid.

The Karate Kid Producer Will Smith

Will Smith: "We're very excited. We think he did a brilliant job. We're happy that he's a disciplined young man, and we think that people are going to love this movie."

The Karate Kid Director Harald Zwart

So shooting in China must have presented its own set of problems. What did you encounter?

Harald Zwart: "Actually the problem was more that we were a big movie production and when you march in with a Hollywood production, you're like 19 trailers and we were a 550 man crew. And we wanted to shoot on the streets in Beijing and in the Forbidden City and in those temples, so we just had, halfway through, we just had a big meeting and I said, 'We've got to be a small, independent crew. We've got to make sure we just have what we can carry.' And that's one of those days when I saw Will and Jackie [Chan] up in the mountains carry sound equipment and stuff."

Really physically carrying things?

Harald Zwart: "Yeah. And that just shows how great they are as filmmakers. They could leave their trailers behind, no problem. So that was amazing."

So touching a franchise that people still love, did you feel a little extra weight having to do that?

Harald Zwart: "Yeah, yeah. I mean, of course. I myself loved the original movie so I just wanted to make sure that we didn't change it too much or try to... We knew there were some moments in it that we could never make better. You know, the wax on/wax off is pretty genius, so we just needed to make it a little different."

This isn't a remake - this is a whole different story?

Harald Zwart: "No, it's a retelling of the same story. Yes, it's close enough. You'll see the iconic moments through the movie but it's totally its own movie."

Why did you think Jaden Smith could do this role?

Harald Zwart: "I mean, he's a kid with a grown up soul. When you see him, he has real depth. He's real emotional. He was the hardest-working person on the crew. He had to learn all the kung fu. He learned Chinese. He learned all his lines. It was amazing. He was a fantastic kid."

And you said "kung fu" and that's one thing people have been talking about is it's a kung fu movie and it's The Karate Kid. But that's explained in there, right?

Harald Zwart: "Yeah, yeah. When you see the movie, you'll understand. We also know the difference."

Transcript:Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith The Karate Kid Interviews

Rebecca Murray from About.com Hollywood Movies at the LA premiere of Columbia Pictures' The Karate Kid.

Jackie Chan - 'Mr. Han' in The Karate Kid

This was filmed in China, so how important was that for you to have it filmed there?

Jackie Chan: "I think all those years...so this why I'm helping a lot of American productions [there], doing Mulan, Kung Fu Panda, right now Karate Kid, Forbidden Kingdom, you know, this kind of movie because it's special. In this day we need movies to promote our Chinese culture - no matter costumes, food, everything. I believe especially Karate Kid will show Beijing and show our culture to the world."

How was Jaden?

Jackie Chan: "He's great. He's the greatest kid I've ever seen so that's why after the movie I called Smith. I said, 'Hey, can I adopt your son?' And he said, 'Okay, yes, go ahead.' I just love this young kid. He was so humble, so disciplined."


 How important was it for you to be in a Karate Kid movie?

Jackie Chan: "For me, it's another movie. I'm not thinking about a remake, just a totally new movie. I'm not Miyagi, I'm just Jackie Chan."

Jaden Smith - 'Dre' in The Karate Kid

How was it working with Jackie Chan?

Jaden Smith: "Oh, he's amazing. He's just a great guy to work with."

How much did he actually teach you?

Jaden Smith: "He actually sent somebody to come train me. But he teaches everybody so many things."

And how easy was it for you to pick up on?

Jaden Smith: "Very easy. Very easy."

Are you still doing it right now?

Jaden Smith: "Yes. I've almost been doing it for a year."

What's the best thing about learning karate or kung fu?

Jaden Smith: "Well, you learn so many things - respect and discipline."

What are you going to take with you from this experience?

Jaden Smith: "I just got so many things. I mean, working with Jackie was amazing, training, China was great, the people were great there. Everything was great."

How much input did your dad have in this?

Jaden Smith: "Amazing amounts, like he just helped. He put entire scenes in the movie to just make it have that extra click in it."

How was training in China?

Jaden Smith: "It was great. It was very interesting - a lot of people there."

Do you think we're going to have a number 2?

Jaden Smith: "Definitely."

Jackie Chan: "Definitely? Okay."

In the movie there's a jacket on/jacket off rather than wax on/wax off. Talk about that.

Jaden Smith: "Well, it's just jacket on/jacket off and it's a series of blocks and attack. And I think that it was a good idea and I don't think we could have had anything better."

What do you think about that, Jackie?

Jackie Chan: "I just wanted to use everything around me, use the chair, use the light pole, use everything as training things so it's not necessary to go into a club."

And how did Jaden do?

Jackie Chan: "Two thumbs up."

The Tourist (2010)

Bila anda familiar dengan aksi Angelina Jolie lewat Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Wanted, dan yang terkahir di film Salt. Dalam film terbarunya The Tourist anda tidak akan menyaksikan itu semua. Bersama aktor serba bisa Johnny Depp yang sudah melekat di ingatan kita sebagai sosok kapten Jack Sparrow di seri Pirates of the Caribbean, keduanya memberikan sesuatu yang berbeda dalam film yang diproduksi oleh Sony Pictures ini.

Baik Angelina maupun Johnny mampu menghilangkan image masing-masing dalam film mereka sebelumnya. Angelina yang biasa terlihat sebagai wanita perkasa, kali ini tampil lebih anggun dan natural sebagai seorang wanita. Johnny Depp pun tidak mau kalah dengan Angelina, sosok sang kapten berhasil dihilangkan Johnny dengan tampil sebagai pria polos yang sedang patah hati.

Cerita bermula ketika Elise (Angelina Jolie) yang menjadi incaran polisi Inggris memanfaatkan Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp) yang merupakan wisatawan dari Amerika. Elise yang ternyata memiliki kekasih bernama Alexander Pearce mencoba bertemu dengan pujaannya tersebut dengan memanfaatkan Frank.

Tidak sulit bagi Frank untuk jatuh hati dengan Elise, sosok wanita anggun dan menarik melekat di diri Elise. Namun keputusan Frank untuk suka terhadap sosok Elise yang misterius ternyata membawa turis asal Amerika itu jadi sasaran tembak.

Di tempat lain inspektor John yang bertekad menangkap Alexander Pearce karena kasus penggelapan pajak mencoba mendapatkan informasi buronan nya itu dari Elise. Drama semakin menarik saat Frank yang berprofesi sebagai guru matematika akhirnya dianggap sebagai Alexander Pearce oleh kepolisian Inggris maupun komplotan mafia Rusia yang dipimpin oleh Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff)

The Tourist memang memfokuskan pada kisah asmara Elise dan Frank dan konflik di dalamnya. Namun drama khas cerita detektif ditampilkan oleh sang sutradara dengan memaksa anda untuk menebak-nebak siapakah Elise sebenarnya dan dimanakah sosok Alexander Pearce yang menjadi buronan di 14 negara.

Di saat Anda mengagumi kemampuan akting Angelina Jolie dan Johnny Depp, pikiran anda akan dibawa kedalam film dan berpikir keras untuk menebak akhir cerita. Dijamin Anda akan dibuat bingung oleh sutradara Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck yang mengemas cerita dengan cerdas.

Kisah asmara dua bintang besar yang baru kali pertama beradu akting ini siap menghibur Anda di penghujung tahun 2010.
