BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Jeremy Renner Going to be the Next Mad Max?



Jeremy Renner Going to be the Next Mad Max?
I sure hope so. He is a Great actor and with his acting in the New movie Hurt Locker and the Oscar Buzz for him. I think that he would be the Best choice.

Q: What attracted you to the role and script?

A: It was a complicated role. Everybody asks me, what makes that guy do his job? That to me was someplace I could go to understand somebody. Who does that kind of job? That made me really curious. It's one of the best written antiheroes I've read in 10 years. I was fortunate enough to play him.

Q: How did you get into the mind-set of a guy whose job it is to not get blown up?

A: I got to train and spend time in the bomb suit with EOD techs. Some of these guys have done four tours, were going back for another tour, were just starting. So I got to pick their brains. They were very gracious and giving with time.

What I love about the film is that people will all take something different from it. That's what I dig about it. Good cinema doesn't tell you what to think or how to think. But it certainly encourages you to think and feel something. I could tell you what I think the character is about, but the right answer is what the audience thinks.

Q: How was it working with director Kathryn Bigelow? Were you a fan of her work before?

A: Yeah, I was. I had seen probably five of her films prior. When I got the script, I was very excited to hear that she was fighting for me to do the film. I was in London shooting "28 Weeks Later" at the time and the producer gave it to me and said Kathryn was a fan of mine because of "Dahmer."

Q: How were conditions? Was it physically challenging?

A: Yeah, the shooting conditions were tough for everyone. ... It wasn't like there was a trailer to go back to and eat green M&Ms. Everything -- the flies, the sweat, the redness -- was real. There is no makeup in this movie; no acting in this movie. It's only reacting because of how Kathryn set up the shots.

Q: You'll be here Friday for the première. What does it mean to you to be able to screen the movie in your hometown?

A: It's really important for me to come back. I am curious to see what the audience in Modesto thinks. I'm really glad I'm getting a chance to bring it to the hometown.

Q: Does the excitement around "The Hurt Locker" take the sting out of "The Unusuals" being canceled?

A: Well, I was already feeling the momentum on "The Hurt Locker" when they were deciding if the show was going to go or not. I would have been happy if (the show) came back; it was a great series and cast.

But I am much happier to be in film. I think the quality of TV is great, but it doesn't fulfill me as an artist. It's not as creative or collaborative as I'd like it to be and just can get a little stifling. But that's just me. I've definitely always been a film guy.

Q: What is next for you?

A: I'm off to Boston on Aug. 19 for a film Ben Affleck is directing called "The Town." It's based on the novel "Prince of Thieves" about a group of career bank robbers. One of the robbers falls in love with a girl we rob. So it's a great crime thriller and romance. It's a lot of fun.

I'm a robber. Ben will direct and star. It also has Rebecca Hall ("Vicky Cristina Barcelona"), Jon Hamm ("Mad Men"), and Blake Lively ("Gossip Girl") plays my sister.


I'm also fighting to do the new Mad Max film with George Miller. That might be next summer. I'm screen-testing and meeting George Miller.
Q: Are you also clearing space on your calendar for March 7, 2010, the date of next year's Oscars?
A: (Laughs.) It's hard to think that far ahead.
