  Speaker 2: story and it essentially evolves some dirty cops.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Right Yeah, Yeah, probably the most corrupt case in the
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: history of the NYPD eighties and nineties. Yeah, it's a
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: really a crazy story.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: How challenging is it to do period piece in that era?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It's very challenging.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean that's why I shot the movie in LA
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't take it to New York and New York.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I have to close down streets, permits, all the cars
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: and wardrobe, and then you have to really like figure
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: out how you you know, there's so many moving things
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: when you shoot in the city itself, with the noise
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: and all that stuff.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We decided to shoot.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: It all in La exterior stuff was shot and Warner
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Brothers on the New York lots over there, and it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Just made it much easier.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: It's very difficult to the cars, the wardrobe, all of
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: that stuff, the unions.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Mob coming after us.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: From what I see though, David, look, it's great man.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've had your fair share of playing cops before.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Are you a shady cop in this is like.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: My first crooked cop. I've played so many cops, like,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know why.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: We played literally like.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Half of the films I've done I've been a cop.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: But uh yeah, so this is the first real cooking cop.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: That was an interesting thing. And Jeremy Luke's amazing in it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: He plays the other mob cop, the other cookie cop,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: and it's funny because it's not a comedy in any way.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: But for us, I'm kind of like his straight man.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'm the quieter one. Other two he's sort of the loud,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: boisterous one. So it's fun to sort of take that
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: approach to my My guy was we have bo Diedle
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: in the movie he was a legendary and really officer.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Quite a good actor. Amaly Mo.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but we could turn to him because he had
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: worked with him, he knew him. That's why we could
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: turn right to him and say what was this guy?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Like what do you think he'd do? And blah blah.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: There's one part where my character I get like they
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: they they're getting paid by the mom they're starting to
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: make money. But my choice was just to like get glasses. Like,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: my guy's not flashy at all. He doesn't get a
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: new car, he doesn't get anything, but he got these glasses.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: So I put these glasses on. And I hadn't see
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: with Boddle, and I could tell bos was like a
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: little kind of annoyed by what he's like off camera.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: He's like, well, why are you wearing those classes? I
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: was like, because New York cops don't really wear glasses
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: like some other kind of cops. Otherwears.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: We can't YPD don't wear class. Wait a minute, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: you can't see, you can't work.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: It's like a fed thing. It's like, yeah, it's.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: More like you're out there struggling like the worst.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I mean you exactly. You did have a good stash
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: though I saw that, yes, not a bad stash. That
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: was not a bad stas not a bad stash.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And it's interesting you mentioned Boddle and he was a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: real life cop and coincidentally during the same era that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the film takes place, and made the transition, of course,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to be an actor, which reminds me of you, Danny,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: who was like sort of the king of nightlife and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: made this transition to get an entertainment industry.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Why are you signing, I'm saying that's fascinating.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No one, that's sound like an easy you know, Hey,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I'm club one minute, you know.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: What, I think I'm gonna get an acting That usually
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Well, I always wanted to be an actor.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: He's just the club stuff. Was like, I gotta pay
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: some bills until I become this a you know what
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I mean? But no, I started with the So was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that deal? Okay? I didn't know. You just woke up
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: one d you know what, that's good to try the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: second thing.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So always, you know, So as a kid, I went
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: on all these auditions. I did a couple of music videos,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: school play. I wanted to be an actor.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Realized, you know, it's not that easy.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I've never really been to Hollywood.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And then I got into the club business and I succeeded,
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: so I kept staying in it. But the focus is
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: always like figuring out how I can actually start doing
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: what I really love doing. And then eventually, slowly I
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: did a short film and and and a couple of friends,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: you know, casting me in the small little roles here
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and there, and just got you know, used to being
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: on set, and decided to make my first film.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And that's what happened.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: And now I'm here, good for you, sitting with you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I love that story.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I went from actor to a club owners.
• 4:46

• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the biggest movie of the year into like running fellow.

  Speaker 4: A lot of people scared of clowns? Yeah, I know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I know, not scary though scary clowns aren't typically like
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: actually real clowns. Clowns bring you joy and happiness, make
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you laugh. But we do this thing called Bob Baker
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Day and there's Poncho who's an amazing uh clown and
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: tattoo artists at Spotlight Tattoo. And he said to me
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: at the end of the day, he was like, David,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: you were a good clown today.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, you made a lot of kids happy
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: and you scared a few. That's what a good clown does.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Balance. Yeah, my God, tell me about this other film

  Speaker 3: in late August, beginning of September. It's guy David Arquette
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and Daniella Peake Tarantino, Quentin's wife. That's her first acting job.

  Speaker 3: Me and him play like buddies, like two very good
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: friends from New York who end up moving to Georgia
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: and opening an underground casino and getting caught up with
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the with the Russian mob there and paying you know.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Really hard to act like his friend though, So that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: took I really had.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I think my favorite part about the movie is just
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: our relationship.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: We just really it's it was playing such a blast
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: on this on the set, man, I can't imagine it was.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It did never come by set.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: He didn't come to set. Uh, But we worked with him,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: me and David and Daniella, just on on on the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: on the script, you know, going over the lines and uh.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: In the editing room he was he was very helpful
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: and gave us some good some notes.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: That's cool, man, that is awesome.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And David, you're talking about playing a cople lot and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you're gonna returning to one of your classic characters, Dewey,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: which is ironic because he appeared to have died.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But in horror films, I guess anything, anything possible.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Flashback flash burned the week of the resurrection, So oh
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: is it a flashback?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I can't really do I discuss the particulars of it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: But I got to work with Kevin Williamson, the writer
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: of the original, and like created this whole universe. So yeah,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: it was an honor to work with him.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: That's awesome all these years and and Dan, I just
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: want to make sure I get to this because I
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: just find it fascinating. I know you recently directed another
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: film called twelve Hours in October, regarding the events on
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: October seventh.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in Israel, Man, I can't wait to see it.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: How was it being from Israel? How was it just
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: visiting that content and telling that story?
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: My god?
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: So yes, it was very, very difficult to make this film.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I shot it in Israel. Lionsgate picked it up, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize how hard it was going to be,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: just because I wanted to take I wanted to look
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: at it just as a film and go scene by scene.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: But just you know, when you have all these people
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that went through this, because we shot it in Israel,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: so all the actors and all the extras were there
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and really experienced it and bringing it all back and
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: really showing it. It's not a documentary where it's only
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the aftermath. We're showing the actual act of what happened
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: and Reh having to redo it and we create it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: It really was difficult. I mean, we had we had
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: actors that that got going to panic attacks, and we
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: had psychiatrists and psychologists on set and really like but
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: people were really passionate to make sure that we say,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you know, we do it at the at the highest
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: level and really really do it right. And the movie
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: came out great. I actually screened it for Lionsgate couple
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: days ago and they're looking to release it hopefully on
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: October seven, two years of the day.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, and this movie was made from passion
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and love and and even just the raising the money
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: for you know, I told all my investors if one
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: of them here, Eli Weise, my buddy. I explained to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the investors, I was like, we probably, you know, this
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: movie might not.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Get a distribution deal.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It's a very difficult subject, you know. And they were like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: you know, we're doing it for the right reasons. We
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: got to make this film no matter what happens. And
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: then lions Gate stepped up and really understood what it
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: was and and we're really excited for the world to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: see it. It's it's called twelve was in October because
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it we really just concentrate on the first twelve hours
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: from six twenty nine am to six twenty nine pm
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and and follow what happened at the Nova and and
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: and the Kibboots and Barry.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: And I think Americans, to put it in perspective, it
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: would be like correct me if I'm wrong, almost like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: if people came to Coachella right to the music's resolutely
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: and something which is really just kind of his mind
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: blowing when you think about it.
